the opportunity to be gathered together and sing praises to your name pray that
we would do so with understanding and love hearts for you she would fill this
room with the Holy Spirit we love you in Jesus name we pray second song 139 my
house so much come to set vest Baptist Church if you need a pulp bulletin just
lift up your hand nice and high just come by get you guys a bulletin front we
have our Bible memory passage Proverbs 31 verse number five if you can quote the
verse of the week and you're 18 and under you can get a special ice cream
treat after the service if you can quote the entire chapter of Proverbs 31 there's
gonna be special prizes that we hand out you know you're not too far back you
know there's a lot of verses in Proverbs 31 so it's a never a bad time to start
working on this chapter get it memorized it's got a lot of really good verses in
it so I really encourage you to work on that one also on the inside we have our
service time soul winning times in church stats the right we have the list
of our expecting ladies please be in prayer for them we have several ladies
are expecting upcoming events we have the Texas chili cook-off that is gonna
be in lieu of worshiping the devil so if you don't really want to worship the
devil you can come and enjoy some Texas chili of course you'll get to enjoy you
know there won't be a lot of hot air around here because we don't put beans
in the chili and so that really helps you it's from 6 9 p.m. if you are
planning on entering which you know we would love it to have lots of different
people enter into the competition portion and if you would like to enter
you just need to have your chili here before 6 p.m. so we're gonna try and
everything kind of set up and ready to go to where the judges can get all the
chili taken out as soon as possible so most likely you can eat around 6 15
just kind of depends on how quickly we can get the judges portions divvied up I
would say around 6 15 is when we'll probably start eating and if you want to
enter in the competition portion you just need to make sure that your chili
arrives before 6 p.m. so that way we can get all of those things divvied up and
there will be prizes for those who compete I believe we have had you know
about three winners every three places for each each year's competition and
let's see if anybody can beat Miss Cassandra I don't know if it's possible
or not but she's she's the running running champ around here and so if you
put beans in the chili and I catch it you're automatically disqualified so I'm
gonna sneak one in there and it's just like you know what God doesn't you know
respect cheaters okay so even if you can or infiltrators or Judas we'll call you
Judas from then on all right also November 4th is the Abilene Texas
soul-winning marathon there should be a sign-up sheet out here if you'd like to
participate please sign up so that way we can anticipate how much food we need
to order and just planning for that event also there's a baby shower on the
11th for the Gores 1230 to 230 there is a Mexico's missions trip we're going to
the Matamoros area again and that's a Thursday through Saturday most people I
think we'll probably a group leave here on Wednesday night so or Wednesday
afternoon maybe church van group so if you want to do that you can some people a
lot of us might be arriving that real early Thursday morning by flight and
there's actually two different airports down there you can fly into Harlingen
and Brownsville they're basically basically in the same general area so
it's pretty easy and we'll be staying in the Brownsville side of things and
traveling into Matamoros during the day for soul winning and so if you speak
Spanish and you'd like to be on this trip just let us know you can sign up
for that as well. December 8th is our ladies Christmas party is an annual
thing that we do and I know the ladies always get really excited about
this and I'm really for these next several events I'm not gonna give you
the details we're just kind of putting the dates so when we get closer we'll
put the details in the bulletin so if you ask me the details I'm gonna say I
don't have them so just just wait but I'm just giving you at least the date
so you can plan December 11th is a Christmas caroling December 16th is our
children's Christmas music recital so we've had a music recital in the past
and we're gonna do the same thing again this year but we're gonna try and time
it closer to Christmas and you don't you don't have to do Christmas music you but
of course it's kind of thematic so if you'd like to that would be best but you
know if you have anything that you want to add to the recital you can do so I
think there's usually a rehearsal just to make sure that you've practiced and
you can perform well for the recital that you'll have to do prior to that but
we're looking forward to having another recital and honestly the last one we had
was amazing I mean I was really impressed by the kids in here they did a
really really good job and it was really enjoyable I've been to a lot of music
recitals growing up like tons and tons and I hated every single one of them but
I actually enjoyed ours I thought ours was actually pretty enjoyable and it was
it didn't take like four hours or something like that so it was it was
really nice and so if you even if you don't have a kid participating you're
welcome to come and just enjoy the music and I'll be honest some of the kids in
here are actually really talented and do a really good job and so I think you're
gonna be pleasantly surprised by the talent that we have in here so don't
don't uh you know I'm giving you some some rep here so don't you know
disappoint me all right kids you need to practice for this all right and then
also December 24th we're having a cookie bake-off again that's right after the
evening service December 31st is a New Year's Eve party and since it's a Sunday
this year instead of instead of me just preaching that afternoon or evening
service we'll probably just have a popcorn preaching with some of the men
of our church if they'd like to preach a sermon so probably just some shorter
sermons and we'll have a sign up for that as well so that's pretty much as
far as upcoming events that's it one housekeeping item so and again you know
we had our conference and so we had a lot of visitors and things weren't
necessarily going as they should typically but just as a reminder on
Sunday afternoons from 2 to 4 the building observes a quiet time and that
hasn't been always observed very well in the past especially when we had our
conference and stuff and I get that but we want to make sure that we are
observing that correctly for the future it just benefits people to be able to to
be here in the property but again it's you know it should be observed like
a library thing where you're not talking you know it's not loud you know you can
read you know and it just benefits people that want to stay here all day
they have toddlers that maybe need to take a nap or something like that they
can sleep we usually dim some of the lights so if you have kids are gonna be
running around or talking they need to be not in the buildings just somewhere
else and that's just to make sure to accommodate the people that would like
to use the quiet time if if you don't observe quiet time no one else can
that's the thing that kind of sucks about quiet time is it takes a hundred
percent participation for it to be effective it only takes one person to
screw it up right and it takes a hundred percent of compliance for it to work and
so please don't be that one person because then everyone hates you okay and
I'm not saying that I do I'm just saying everybody else does so I'm just trying
to help you okay because you know I I don't know if you're like this or not
but I am the grouchiest person when I'm tired so like if I'm tired and I'm
needing to sleep and someone's keeping me awake like I hate them to my inner
being and so you know I'm just kind of giving you this is just a gentle
warning of how that should operate also on the back we have the note about the
baby shower the details so if you'd like to read about that prayer list if you
have any other prayer requests please email us so that we can put it into our
prayer list and that's pretty much all I have as far as announcements are
concerned we're gonna go ahead and sing our third song it's a psalm of the week
psalm 67 psalm 67 and our special handouts alright psalm number 67
chapter number four the Bible reads now I say that the air as long as he is a
child defereth nothing from a servant though he be lord of all but is under
tutors and governors until the time appointed of the Father even so we when
we were children were in bondage under the elements of the world but when the
fullness of the time was come God sent forth his son made of a woman made under
the law to redeem them that were under the law that we might receive the
adoption of sons and because he our sons God hath sent forth the spirit of his
son into your hearts crying Abba father wherefore thou art no more a servant but
a son and if a son than an heir of God through Christ how be it then when you
knew not God you did service unto them which by nature are no gods but now
after that you have known God or rather are known of God how turn ye again to
the weak and beggarly elements were unto ye desire again to be in bondage ye
observe days and months and times and years I am afraid of you lest I have
bestowed upon you labor in vain brethren I beseech you be as I am for I am as ye
are you have not injured me at all you know how through infirmity of the flesh
I preached the gospel unto you at the first and my temptation was in my flesh
which was in my flesh he despised not nor rejected but received me as an angel
of God even as Christ Jesus where is then the blessedness he spake of for I
bear you record that if it had been possible you would have plucked out your
own eyes and have given them to me am I therefore become your enemy because I
tell you the truth they zealously affect you but not well
yay they would exclude you that you might affect them but it is good to be
zealously affected always in a good thing and not only when I am present
with you my little children of whom I travel in birth again until Christ be
formed in you I desire to be present with you now would to change my voice
for I stand in doubt of you tell me he that desire to be under the law do you
not hear the law for it is written that Abraham had two sons the one by a bond
maid the other by a free woman but he who was of the bond woman was born after
the flesh but he of the free woman was by promise which things are an allegory
for these are the two covenants the one from the Mount Sinai which gender it to
bondage which is agar for this agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to
Jerusalem which now is and is in bondage with her children but Jerusalem which is
above is free which is the mother of us all for it is written rejoice thou
barren that bear is not break forth and cry thou that travail is not for the
desolate have many more children than she which hath an husband now we
brethren as Isaac was are the children of promise but as then he that was born
after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the spirit even so it is now
nevertheless what sayeth the scripture cast out the bondwoman and her son for
the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman so
then brethren we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free let's bow our
heads for a word of prayer father in heaven we thank you so much Lord for the
book of Galatians and for all the truths that are in this section of scripture I
just pray Lord that you fill pastor Shelly with your spirit and just enable
him to preach the sermon that you've laid on his heart with boldness with
clarity of mind and also help us to receive the message give us ears to
hear so that we may be edified by the preaching of your word we love you and
in Jesus name I pray amen the portion of this chapter that I wanted to focus in
is verse 22 the Bible says Ford is written that Abraham had two sons the
one by a bondmaid the other by a free woman but he who was of the bondwoman
was born after the flesh but he of the free woman was by promise which things
are an allegory for these are the two covenants the one from the Mount Sinai
which gender at the bondage which is agar for this agar is Mount Sinai in
Arabia and answer it to Jerusalem which now is and is in bondage with her
children now here in the Bible is very clear that God used stories of physical
reality to represent spiritual truths in the Bible there really was an Abraham
and Sarah and they really had this dilemma where Sarah gave unto her
husband her bondmaid the Bible calls her agar here in the New Testament and the
Old Testament's Hagar but it's the same woman and Hagar ended up bearing Abraham
a son Ishmael and Ishmael was the firstborn according to the Bible after
this about 14 years she ended up have Sarah ended up conceiving herself and
having a son Isaac and Isaac is pictured as the son of promise Ishmael is
considered the son of the flesh now it tells us in verse 24 these things are an
allegory what's an allegory allegory is a synonym and I send them it's a simile
or a metaphor it's something that's picturing something and so it's saying
that these two people picture some kind of a spiritual truth what is that
spiritual truth well it tells us in verse 25 for this agar is Mount Sinai
in Arabia now what's significant about Sinai that's where God gave the children
of Israel the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai and so what he's saying is the law
or those who are under the law or those who are given the law are allegorized as
being Ishmael and that those according to the Bible who are not from the
current Jerusalem but from the heavenly Jerusalem are Isaac so what the Bible
just plainly states is that the Jews are Ishmael the Jews are Ishmael now let me
make it clear what I'm saying though spiritually in an allegory not
necessarily physically so of course these two men Ishmael and Isaac ended up
physically reproducing and having lots of children and having their descendants
follow after them and the Jews at this time according the Bible are the seed
of Abraham Jesus Christ confirmed that in the New Testament that they were the
seed of Abraham and I would argue that it's more likely that almost all of them
were physical descendants of Isaac most likely there was probably even still a
little bit of intermingling because you kind of notice there's sometimes people
marrying in some of these tribes and everything like that but for sure you
know it it doesn't matter what the physical makeup of these people are the
spiritual makeup of them are that they're Ishmael now I'm gonna go to a
lot of Bible this morning so you're gonna have to flip around a lot but go
if you would to Genesis chapter number 12 Genesis chapter 12 I want to preach
a sermon on the Jews are Ishmael the Jews are Ishmael because for some reason
it seems like there's a lot of Christians out there and there's a lot
of teaching out there that ignores Galatians chapter 4 like pretty much
just pretends like it doesn't even exist in the Bible and you know I would
love to represent Zionists for the views that they truly have but since they
never actually preach on certain portions of scripture you kind of just
have to go up the assumption that they're just willingly ignorant of that
portion of scripture or something. I talked to somebody that I know is a
Zionist it's kind of funny because they didn't know they were a Zionist but I
said he's like how am I a Zionist and I said well you know you believe that the
Middle East belongs to the physical nation of Jews today he's like I do
believe that because you're a Zionist okay he's like what's what's a Zionist a
Zionist basically believes that the physical Jews of today deserve to be a
nation and they deserve the Middle East and that it's basically loosely
typically from the promise here given to Abraham and Genesis chapter number 12
that's roughly what a Zionist is whether or not they even attributed to the
Bible just as long as they personally believe in a nation for Israel and that
it should be in the Middle East that's what a Zionist is of course it's
typically related to the Bible because they're getting their boundaries quote
unquote from the Bible and what the Bible talks about this and so they claim
that you know this land is the owed to the Israelites and that it's wrong for
anybody else to own it okay now where do they get this this argument well
Genesis chapter number 12 it talks about a promise that God made unto
Abraham or Abram says in verse number three and I will bless them that
bless thee and curse him that cursed thee and in thee shall all families of
the earth be blessed so God told Abraham that he was gonna bless him and anybody
that would curse Abraham would be cursed and but notice I love in verse 3 that
this is the verse that they always go to to talk about how Jews are special and
then it says all families of the earth shall be blessed why is it bringing up a
bunch of people if it's only about just Jews like why doesn't just say only your
descendants or only your family or only people that wear tiny hats you know it
doesn't say that it just says all the families of the earth shall be blessed
so now I keep your finger because we're coming back Genesis let's go back to
Galatians 2 and I'm gonna Galatians chapter 3 now so we're gonna kind of
unpack a little bit here but let's ask this question who does the land really
belong to because I mean that's a that's a pretty important question you know we
talk about Zionism what would be someone that's anti Zionism they don't think
that these quote physical Jews just are entitled to or deserve the Middle East
they just deserve this land of quote Israel okay so basically pro-Zionism
means I think it's theirs anti Zionism says it's not theirs okay and you know
some people just have no opinion because they just don't care about anything but
virtually you're pretty much gonna fall on one of these two sides of the
equation right you're gonna think they're entitled to it or they're not
right is it their land or is it not it's kind of like if someone comes to your
house and knocks on the door and says it's my house well either you're gonna
agree with them or disagree with them right and so we're basically just saying
like is this their house or not is it their land or not and it's important to
establish from the Bible whose land it is now Galatians chapter number three
explains this I don't remember in Genesis chapter number 12 it's saying
anything about who owned the land yet did it but Galatians chapter 3 quotes
what we just read so let's get the commentary on what this verse even means
now I want to start in verse number six even as Abraham believed God and was
counted in for righteousness know you therefore that they which are of faith
the same are the children of Abraham so who's the children of Abraham according
to Galatians chapter number three people who have faith in Jesus Christ does it
say something about physical descendants no does that make more sense is why all
the families of the earth could be blessed yeah look at verse 8 and the
scripture foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith
preach before the gospel and Abraham saying in these shall all nations be
blessed now when the New Testament is quoting it instead of using the word
family is the word nations but it's saying the exact same thing it's quoting
from that passage and it's saying God seeing that he then would be the
children of Abraham preached and said look when I'm talking about blessing thee
and blessing you know your descendants and cursing thee and cursing your
descendants you know I'm really talking about those who have faith in Jesus
Christ and those are the children of Abraham and those are the seed of
Abraham and so Galatians 3 is making abundantly clear that even back then
before the law was even thought of humanly speaking obviously God knows
everything but before the law was even conceived in man's mind God already
knew that us as Gentiles, us as heathen, we're gonna be reconciled and we're gonna be
saved and how are we gonna be saved? By faith in Jesus Christ. You know this
gives you the same idea of like it helps you understand how Calvinism is wrong
it's like you know when the Bible talks about how you're predestined and you're
elect according the foreknowledge of God it's like God already knew you were
gonna believe in him in the future and that's why he elected you he preached
this to Abraham knowing you and I were gonna believe in Jesus and get saved so
it's according to his foreknowledge we're elect we're chosen we believe in
him we're the seed of Abraham we're the children of Abraham okay that's why you
can sing the song father Abraham had many sons how could you go to church
where the red yellow black and white and they can all sing that song you know why
it's because it's not about a physical descendancy it's not about your
genealogy it's about faith in Jesus Christ that makes you a child of Abraham
okay now as we keep reading here it says in verse number nine so then they which
be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham for as many as are under the
works of the law are under the curse for it is written cursed is everyone that
continued not all things which were written in the book of the law to do
them you know the Bible just said it said anybody who hasn't kept the law
100% perfect is cursed you know who's included in that Jews oh the Jews are
blessed well it not if they've broken any commandment ever and not if they
don't believe in Jesus according to the Bible they're not under grace they're
under the law and if they're under the law and they've broken any of the laws
then they're cursed that's what the Bible says it says but that no man is
justified by the law on the side of God it is evident for the just shall live by
faith and the law is not of faith but the man that doeth them shall live in
them Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for
us for it is written cursed it is every one that hangeth on a tree that the
blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ that we
might receive the promise of the spirit through faith now I do want to make a
couple quick points obviously the Old Testament and the law that was given
unto Israel was was given to them but I think what some people get confused on
is how that law still applied to every person because why would Jesus Christ
need to become a curse of the law for us when we're Gentiles if it was if the law
wasn't even given to us and and why would John the Baptist rebuke Herod for
doing things that are not lawful if the law didn't apply to him and look the law
applies whether or not you are of the children of Israel now of course some
provisions of the law only applied to those who lived in Israel right so
obviously certain laws are kind of governing people as they live in Israel
and how to deal with the economics of Israel and the civility of Israel but
the thing that says like thou shalt not kill that applied to every single person
on the planet okay it wasn't like well only if you're in the nation of Israel
you shouldn't kill no no no that's everybody now obviously if you were in
the nation of Israel you had to be circumcised you had to do certain
things that are revolving around that specific nation and living in that
specific country in that specific part of the world and so sure there was
specific laws that only apply while you're living in Israel or part of
Israel as a nation but you know what the whole world is supposed to become an
Israelite and join that nation I mean that's what God wanted everybody to do
he wanted the strangers to come and join the nation get circumcised and join a
tribe I mean if you lived in the Old Testament your way of serving God was
becoming a part of the nation of Israel that's how you did it okay and you had
to travel there and be part of it and that was basically what God wanted for
every single person now in the New Testament praise God we don't have this
physical nation that we all need to join we don't have to become citizens of
some physical nation we're citizens by birth in Jesus Christ we become citizens
of Israel through faith and it's a spiritual nation that we've been joined
to and we have citizenry in and we apply you know all of the biblical
commandments in a spiritual context now of course this blessing that was on
Abraham though came upon us when we believed on Jesus Christ and it wasn't
just for the Jews it was for the Gentiles too verse 15 brethren I speak
after the manner of men though it be but a man's covenant yet if it be confirmed
no man disannuleth or addeth thereto now to Abraham and his seed where the
promise is made he saith not and to seeds as of many but as of one and to
thy seed which is Christ and this I say that the covenant that was confirmed
before of God in Christ the law which is 430 years after cannot disannul that it
should make the promise of none effect so what the Bible says in Galatians
chapter number three is that when it came to the land and the promise of
inheriting the land that he didn't say seeds plural now let's just check this
keep your finger here go to back to Genesis look at chapter 17 now Genesis
chapter number 17 and look at verse number seven and this is important why
you have a King James Bible in your hand today because even the new King James
not just the modern verse all the modern verse even the new King James you know
when we read these verses they're not going to be singular like Galatians told
us it's gonna not just say descendant it's gonna say descendants it'll change
seed to descendants which is literally corrupting what the text says and it
creates a contradiction but look what it says in Genesis chapter 17 verse 7 and I
will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee and
their generations for an everlasting covenant to be a God unto thee and to
thy seed after thee so the Bible is really careful and some of these
promises made into Abraham to use a singular thy seed why because he's not
talking about every single one of the physical descendants of Abraham what
he's talking about is Jesus Christ and that's what Galatians clearly meant so
if we go back to Galatians we know that the promise was given to Jesus Christ so
what does that mean well point one of my sermon that I just want to make clear is
that the land in the Middle East belongs to Jesus Christ that is the owner of the
land the person who is entitled to the land is the Lord Jesus Christ that's
who's the owner of it according to Galatians chapter number three it makes
it abundantly clear Abraham and to Jesus Christ now here's the thing Abraham is
in heaven and so is Jesus Christ so they don't need to physically dwell on that
land so then you would say ok well then who gets to physically dwell there well
you know what it's no different than any other part of the world because you know
who also owns the rest of the world Jesus Christ okay and you know who
decides that I get to live where I live at my house you know that's just how the
world works I paid for it so I get to live there technically the bank owns
some of it okay but you know is it right what if someone just crosses the border
and just says now your house is mine is that right that doesn't seem right does
it now let's say this what if you know having purchased my house through a bank
and getting a mortgage and everything like that what if I just stop paying my
mortgage what'll happen what eventually the bank say like hey bye right and
they'll literally kick me out they could even have the cops throw me out they'll
foreclose and they'll sell my house to someone else okay now what if the the
bank ends up foreclosing on me because I break my covenant I break my mortgage
contract that I had they end up breaking their covenant with me repossessing the
house and then selling it to somebody completely different okay and then this
other person that owns it would it be right for me to come back five years
later and knock on their door and say this is my house you need to get out and
if you don't get out of my house I'm gonna shoot you and be like well why are
you saying that well I made a covenant you know ten years ago and they said
that I could live here but but did you break it yeah I broke it okay well did
you well did you ever fix it did you end up paying all the money back to the
mortgage company did you pay the bank so that you could come back here no but
it's mine now does that sound right to you no you may not like banks and I get
it okay but that's just not really how the world works it doesn't really it's
not really fair it's not it's not reality right this is what Israel is
doing with the Middle East is that God promised to Abraham and to the seed that
the land would be theirs so who owns the land Jesus Christ okay now what happened
the law came four hundred and thirty years after and you know what the law
said you can live here as long as you abide by the mortgage principles as long
as you're paying your mortgage and what does that mean as long as you're
following God's commandments and doing right you get to live here and as soon
as you break this covenant by now here's what happened the Jews broke the
covenant are you shocked okay go to Deuteronomy 31 go to Deuteronomy 31 so
you know what happened they got evicted now here's the thing you have to
understand at any point that they said you know what I actually want to pay it
I want to actually do right again I want to come back God would have allowed them
to come back into the land and we see this repeatedly we see this in the book
of Judges we see how they rebel against God and then they get evicted from
portions of the promised land from the Philistines and from all kinds of
enemies but then they turn back to God and he gives them that land back doesn't
he and then they rebel he takes them away and then they do right and then
they get it back but then it gets to a point where they just do it over and
over so much and it gets so bad and they're so delinquent on paying they're
just not breaking they're just not keeping the covenant whatsoever that God's
basically I'm done with you now he even knew that this would happen and it was
part of the contract when God wrote up the contract and gave it to the children
of Israel now look at Jeremiah chapter 31 verse 16 and the Lord said in the
Moses behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers and these people will rise up
and go a-whoring after the the gods of the strangers of the land whether they
go to be among them and will forsake me and break my covenant which I have made
with them then my anger should be kindled against them that day and I will
forsake them and will hide my face from them and they shall be devoured and many
evils and troubles shall befall them so they will say in that day are not these
evils come upon us because our God is not among us why don't why don't Zionists
read this verse where it says hey I'm gonna give you this law and you're gonna
get to inherit the promised land but you know what's gonna happen after Moses
dies y'all are gonna suck okay you're gonna break my commandments and you're
gonna break my covenant and then it's gonna get so bad that I'm just gonna I'm
just gonna forsake you okay I just I don't even want look what it says in
verse 17 I will forsake them God cast away his people little quote this in the
New Testament it's like well he did cast away some he did forsake some he
literally says I'm gonna forsake you and then it's literally gonna be obvious
that I'm just not even with you whatsoever okay now I want to show you
another verse go backwards to chapter 28 for a minute and look at verse 63 now
chapter 28 is really famous because it's like a big portion of blessings and
cursings and of course the blessings in this chapter are a lot less than the
cursings okay if you kind of look at it mathematically or how many verses are
corresponding God's like double negative as opposed to positive and some people
will look at mad at my preaching or a church like us like oh why you guys
also always so negative that's about two-thirds you know the Bible is kind of
negative though I mean if you're gonna preach the Bible faithfully then you
should be kind of a two-thirds negative preacher okay so that doesn't mean I'm
a hundred percent just you know about two-thirds okay and if I'm you know off
in some way I'm sure I'm not perfect then you know give me grace but I
shouldn't be a hundred percent positive because that's not the Bible and you
shouldn't be a hundred percent negative that's also not the Bible whatsoever
now look at verse 63 the Bible says and it shall come to pass that as the Lord
rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you so the Lord will rejoice
over you to destroy you and to bring you to naught and you should be plucked from
off the land whither thou goest to possess it did you read that verse with
me what did this say he said he's gonna literally destroy the children of Israel
and take them off of the land is that what I read that did you read that oh
but you don't understand pastor Shelley you gotta bless them bless the curse
what are you talking about did you read any more of the Bible he's saying that
you know what this is this is a lease contract when you go and you rent a
house they say hey you pay your bill we're gonna love you and you don't pay
your bill we're gonna pick you up and throw you out of this house you know what
I mean that's what he's saying now what happens when you break the lease they
throw you out it makes perfect sense and this is what God's saying hey while
Jesus Christ is not even here and Abraham's dead we're not gonna just let
the land sit here and do nothing people get the lease it don't they people get
to rent it people get to live on it but you know what it's not unconditional
living on God's promised land is not unconditional you actually have to keep
the covenant and if you don't keep the covenant bye and then if you don't keep
the covenant God just gives it to some heathen nation like the Babylonians
like the Philistines like the Assyrians like whoever okay and it's their land
while they're living there okay and then God could see fit to take the Assyrians
out of it or take the Philistines or replace them with whoever he sees fit
and of course God puts people on specific specific pieces of land because
they're keeping his covenant they're keeping his law you know why is America
blessed because we were keeping his covenant for a while as a nation and you
know God can pluck us off of this land whenever he sees fit if we're just gonna
continue to break his covenant and not do right and you know what we're you
know he could take me out of my house God could take me out of this earth okay
because the earth is the Lord's and we're all just leasing we're all just
renting here folks okay go if you would to Hebrews chapter number 11 Hebrews
chapter 11 we have to have the right mentality about the world and you know
it's crazy to me how Christians are become Zionists and they get all carnal
about land and they start thinking that land matters or whatever the Bible could
not be clear on this issue that you know what nothing that you own is yours it's
all Jesus it's all his and like you should you should stop getting this
mentality that anybody humanly speaking owns anything not only do you not own
anything no one owns anything okay and we're all just leasing and borrowing
from the Lord Jesus Christ now people that were very spiritual got this in
Hebrews chapter 11 is the kind of famous chapter on faith and it's like the hall
of faith basically but look at verse number 8 the Bible says by faith Abraham
when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for
an inheritance obeyed and he went out not knowing whether he went. By faith he
sojourned in the land of promise as in a strange country dwelling in
tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob the heirs with him of the same promise for he
looked for a city which had foundations whose builder and maker is God. Through
faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed and was
delivered of a child when she was past age because she judged him faithful with
promise therefore spring there even of one and him as good as dead so many as
the stars of the sky and multitude and as the sandwiches by the seashore
innumerable these all died in faith not having received the promises but having
seen them afar off and were persuaded of them and embraced them and confessed
that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth this is interesting the land
was promised to Abraham and Abraham lived in the promised land but you know
what he didn't inherit the promised land he was a stranger meaning that he's
just leasing he's just temporarily staying there he's sojourning amongst
other people who have that property right you know when he was there he
needed to literally buy a cave just to have a bearing place because it wasn't
his possession yet and it makes sense that God never gave the possession to
Abraham so we wouldn't get confused on what land was Abraham's you know what
land was Abraham's it wasn't this physical country it was a heavenly
country and they confess that hey we're just strangers and pilgrims we're just
we're just temporarily just living and abiding here and doing whatever now
don't get some communist idea from the sermon and think like you should never
own property that's not what I'm teaching I'm actually very against that
I think you should own property I think the Bible teaches property rights and
everything like that but what the Bible also wants you to understand is that
you're owning it in a temporary fashion even in the Old Testament law they only
owned it temporarily and the year of Zion until the year of Jubilee basically
and then they would basically have to return their possessions back to the
rightful owner and it was redistributed and everything like that so it was
almost like a long-term lease and kind of some kind of essence and we own
possessions today that's how we should look at them our masters give us
money and we're using that money to buy things but it's really his it's really
his possession and it's his money and it's his wife and it's his children you
know I'm the steward of my wife but my wife is the Lord's and my children are
the Lord's and this church is not my church is the Lord's church and I'm just
a steward of the church okay the Lord has given me the Bible and I'm just a
steward of the Bible the Lord has given me the gospel but I'm just a steward of
the gospel and you know we're supposed to be stewards and ambassadors for Christ
because it's all Christ's and the Bible could not be clearer that look we're
just strangers and pilgrims here no one owns anything because you know what's
gonna happen every single person that's unsaved that is a Jew is gonna be
plucked off that land and go to hell for all of eternity if they don't believe in
Jesus Christ they don't own anything okay and it's not their land how does it
make sense if the lands really Jesus is land if it's God's land and let's even
just say for some reason it's special okay and I'm not even against that let's
just claim that that area is special and it's even more special and precious to
Jesus because that's where the new heavenly Jerusalem and everything is
going to come down from out of heaven and land right well then why would I
want to give it to the people that hate Jesus the most like how does that make
sense right if I have a piece of land that's Jesus's land and it's extra
special it's the most special the most significant why would I try and pick the
people that hate him the most and say it's theirs like that still doesn't even
make any sense okay but it certainly doesn't make sense to steal people's
land I'm not for stealing people's land now I want to prove a second point here
go backwards to Hebrews chapter number 11 so we're in Hebrews go back to chapter
number 11 for a moment point number one is this the land in the Middle East
belongs to Jesus that's who it belongs to and we should look at life as being a
stranger and being a pilgrim on this earth not as trying to figure out how
much I can buy you know people tell me they're like you can buy land in Israel
I know people that have bought land in Israel and I'm just like who cares you
know well why would you want to buy land you're never going to use you know it's
probably a scam you think you it's like owning stars or something it's like it's
like I want to I want to sell you a bridge okay you know it's like there's
this is kind of weird okay you probably don't own anything so I'm not
interested in going over there and trying to buy land but you know
Christians own that land more than unsaved Jews why because we're actually
heirs of that land now we're not gonna really inherit that land what we're
gonna inherit is a new Jerusalem and a new heaven and a new earth that's what
we're gonna really inherit with Christ so you know and Christ will come down
out of heaven he'll literally rule and reign in Jerusalem and we'll be there
with him but you know it's it's the current Israel is not really it's
undeveloped okay Christ is gonna develop it a lot better okay and so I'm not
really interested in it right now it's undeveloped and raw I'm excited for the
millennial reign version that's gonna be a lot better but here's a second point
that I want to make and it's that the old covenant has been fulfilled the old
covenant has been fulfilled folks look at Hebrews chapter 8 verse number 7 for
if the first covenant had been faultless then should no place have been sought
for the second for finding fault with them he saith behold the days come say
the Lord when I'll make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the
house of Judah now let's just pause for a second because this is what I always
hear oh Israel they have their covenant and then we have our covenant wait a
minute this doesn't say I'm gonna make a new covenant with the heathen I'm gonna
give a new covenant only to the people that are not Israel he says he's gonna
make a new covenant with who with Israel why would you make a new covenant with
Israel if they're just good on the old covenant you wouldn't you wouldn't
because you don't need a new covenant you need a new covenant why for finding
fault with them hey because you broke that first covenant I have to make a
second one with you I have to make a new covenant with you okay verse 9 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
continued not in my covenant and I regarded them not well God's regarding
Israel according according the Bible is not regarding them say it the Lord for
this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those
days say the Lord I'll put my laws in 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 no the
Lord for all shall know me from the least to the greatest for I will be
merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their niceties will I
remember no more in that he saith a new covenant he hath made the first old now
that which decayed and waxes waxeth old is ready to vanish away you know where
the old covenant went vanished away but then but then you'll have Christians
today getting up in their pulpits and saying Israel has a covenant sorry it
vanished it's gone think not that I'm come to destroy the law I came not to
destroy but to fulfill Jesus Christ fulfilled the old covenant meaning it's
done it's over there's no need for it because it's been satisfied just like
when you pay that last payment on your mortgage the covenant has been fulfilled
now how would you feel if ten years later the bank comes back and says hey
this is my house nope no there's a guy named Jesus and he came and he paid he
paid the entire mortgage off and he gave me the deed well but you know we made a
covenant it's been fulfilled sorry it's done and now it's gonna vanish away your
little mortgage that you had gone by no longer applies now I own it now it's
mine and this is how it is with the new covenant you know just like God gave a
covenant to the children of Israel he fulfilled it with Jesus Christ so that
he could bring in a new covenant a new promise and that new promise was through
faith in Jesus Christ and the only people that get to be a part of that
covenant are the ones who believe in Jesus Christ now though if you went to
Jeremiah I'm sorry yeah Jeremiah chapter number three go to Jeremiah chapter
number three I want to make some things really clear this morning and I know
we're turning to a lot of places in the Bible but I think it's important to get
kind of a sound foundation here and and you're gonna hear this from tons and
tons of people and it doesn't look like the wars in Israel are coming down any
time soon so you're gonna have lots of more conversations about this probably
everywhere in the news obviously the end times probably gonna have a lot to do
with the Middle East and so I think it's good for us as Christians to have the
right mentality and the right mindset and say what well number one that lands
Jesus number two the Old Testament's been fulfilled and you know I want you
to see how God actually deals with Israel in the Bible look at Jeremiah
chapter 3 verse 6 the Lord said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king
has thou seen that which backsliding Israel done she has gone up upon every
high mountain and under every green tree and thereafter played the harlot and I
said after she had done all these things turn thou unto me but she returned not
and her treacherous sister Judah saw it and I saw when for all the causes
whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away and given her
a bill of divorce yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not but went and
played the harlot also you know the Bible says that God divorced Israel now
of course this is not so much as a physical divorce it's obviously a
allegory again right but I mean when do you hear Zionists talking about how
Israel got divorced from God now here's something the Bible does say look at
verse 12 go and proclaim these words toward the north and say return thou
black backsliding Israel say the Lord and I will not cause mine anger to fall
upon you for I am merciful say the Lord and I will not keep anger forever so
even though he had forsaken them as Deuteronomy told us even though he had
divorced them as Jeremiah makes abundantly clear he was still willing to
receive them back now in what context in what way what are we talking about well
in the time of Jeremiah the northern kingdom of Israel is gone the Assyrians
have come in taking them off of the land plucked them off the land taken it away
from them but if at any point all those people that were plucked off said you
know what let's return back to God he would have given them the land back now
they didn't do that at that time and Judah also having seen it saying like oh
wow God literally plucked them off the land because they broke the covenant I
wonder what's gonna happen to us same thing then Nebuchadnezzar comes the
Babylonians come they pluck Judah off the map and they take them in the
captivity then you have rest for 70 years but some people end up returning
who are the people that returned the people that turned back to the Lord the
people that actually wanted to get right with God and so a remnant came back and
they are the now the new Israel this is the same as how it works in the Old and
New Testament that essentially the vast majority of Israel forsook the Lord and
he basically counted them all in unbelief but there was a remnant that
got saved turned to Jesus Christ and you know what they continued and they're the
true Israel so we have to understand is that consistently to stay a part of
Israel you have to be saved and you have to actually keep with his covenant from
a physical perspective if we're going to talk about the physical nation of
Israel you had to not only be saved you had to also keep the covenant and at any
point that you broke that covenant he was going to pluck you off of that land
now it got to such an egregious point that when Jesus Christ came since they
all rejected him he said you know what not even one stone on this temple is
going to be left upon another why is it that the temple does not exist today can
we ask that question it's because they rejected the true temple because Jesus
Christ talked about his body being the temple and he said hey that you're going
to destroy this temple and in three days I'll rise it up and because they
rejected that temple and because they rejected the Lord Jesus Christ and
because they didn't want to believe in him you know what he wiped them off of
the map God doesn't hate the temple I mean you have to understand that God
literally dwelt in the temple his spirit would come down and literally dwell
inside the temple of God and he gave them clear instructions on how to build
it you know God doesn't hate the temple what he hates is people rejecting the
temple worshiping false gods in the temple not believing in Jesus Christ now
also within the temple they were performing sacrifices and those
sacrifices were picturing the Lord Jesus Christ but isn't it kind of
frustrating that they're in the temple doing sacrifices to pick Jesus and then
when he shows up they reject him and then they keep their sacrifices well
that made God so angry that he's like I'm gonna get rid of this sacrificial
system I'm gonna get rid of this temple so then if someone says you know what I
want to rebuild this temple it's basically spitting in the face of Jesus
all over again it's it's rejecting him all over again and why is it that
Christians are so fixated I want to rebuilding the temple I'm thinking like
this is blasphemy did you not realize that Jesus is the temple do you not
realize that we don't need this physical temple and this animal sacrifice system
why are you so insistent that they go back and start doing this again I mean
it's a form of blasphemy it's a rejection of the gospel it's a rejection
of the Lord Jesus Christ I mean why would I want to rebuild the temple that
Jesus had knocked down as a rejection of him especially when the people building
it didn't actually get saved right maybe we could have an argument that if they
all got saved and they're not building the temple in some blasphemous way that
they should be able to build some kind of a structure I'm still not saying I
support that but I'm like we're not even having that conversation because they
didn't get saved and they would perform blasphemous rituals in that temple so
it makes absolutely no sense for a saved Christian to ever support such a thing
you know like Greg Locke getting out there and saying let's rebuild the
temple what a blasphemous antichrist type statement do you not realize that
the Old Covenant was fulfilled why do we need to have a temple again we don't
need that temple in fact we're the temple of the Living God we're the ones
that he dwells in instead of him dwelling in that physical temple and
residing there now he dwells inside of us and that's what is important in the
New Testament is that is all these things that were symbolized through the
Old Covenant now go with the second Corinthians chapter number three go to
second Corinthians chapter number three look point one the land belongs to
Christ point to the Old Covenant is fulfilled stop trying to go back to the
Old Covenant and you know if you want to know something that Galatians is trying
to tell you stop going to the Old Covenant I mean the book of Galatians is
just like stop it no if you think that you're not even saved okay people that
are trying to get us back into the law and Judaize us and everything like that
according the Bible they were wicked people unsaved people he Paul was really
mad I mean he's talking about changing his voice he's saying I'm afraid of you
I mean Galatians 1 8 and 9 is like really hardcore I mean Galatians is a
hardcore book of the Bible because you know what he does not want us to go
backwards we're not going backwards it's already been fulfilled we're moving
forwards and you know you have to understand something about these
unsaved Jews there was a kind of a transitory period of time where
obviously there was people who were quote Jews and they weren't saved and
the Gospels already been accomplished and the Apostle Paul constantly was
trying to get those people saved he was constantly working on them constantly
ministering to them but you know he makes some really clear statements about
them in 2nd Corinthians look at what it says in chapter 3 verse 7 but if the
ministration of death written and graven in stones was glorious so that the
children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory
of his countenance which glory was to be done away how shall not the
ministration of the Spirit be rather glorious so he's saying hey you remember
that story about Moses coming down a mount and his face was shining and they
couldn't even look at it so they had to like literally cover his face and they're
saying if this ministration meaning this service to God was so glorious but it
was actually a ministration of death then wouldn't this other ministration
which is the ministration of the Spirit be even better being even more bright
and being even more glory but I want you to pay attention to a couple words here
look at verse 7 which glory was to be done away you know he's talking about the
Old Testament which was to be done away the Old Testament is done away let's
keep reading verse nine for if the ministration of condemnation be glory
much more dot the ministration of righteousness exceed and glory for even
that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect by reason of the
glory that excelleth for if that which is done away now I want you to look at a
word maybe maybe we should get every Zionist and every one of these
Christians to highlight circle underline right and memorize this word is it's a
tough word two letters is let's read this again for if that which is done
away what does that mean it's really obvious the Old Testament is done away
now it said in verse number seven albeit was to be done away so it's like oh it's
gonna happen and you can see something like well it's not done yet but wait a
minute what did the Bible say verse verse 11 for if that which is done away
is done away the Old Testament is done away it is fulfilled it has been
fulfilled and accomplished and abolished let's keep reading if that which is done
away was glorious much more that which remained of the glorious seeing then
that we have such hope these great plainness of speech and not as Moses
which put a veil over his face that the children of Israel could not steadfastly
look to the end of that which is abolished you know what the Old
Testament it is done away it is abolished it is fulfilled it's done it's
ready to vanish away how could we get any clearer the Bible is just saying the
Old Testament is done it says verse 14 but their minds were blinded for until
this day remained at the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old
Testament which veil is done away in Christ but even unto this day when Moses
is read the veil is upon their heart nevertheless when it shall turn to the
Lord the veil should be taken away so the children of Israel they have a
literal veil over their face they can't even understand the Bible what the
Bible says and the Old Testament is done number one the Old Testament is done so
there's no need to go back to it number two they couldn't even understand it
even if they tried and the only way to even understand the Old Testament is the
first get saved so that the veil can be taken off of your heart so that you can
even understand and your heart's open to the things of God meaning that unsaved
people their hearts are closed to the things of God they can't understand
them they can't bring forth fruit and so they have to first get saved so that
their heart is open and now they have the capability of understanding the
Bible now they have the capability of doing things you know some people get
frustrated with unsaved people like arguing doctrine but it's like why an
unsafe person can't understand doctrine it's impossible there's really no profit
in arguing doctrine with unsaved people because they cannot understand it and
and it that's why it's so frustrating is because you'll show something just
point-blank and then they just don't get it and you're like how do you not get
that it's because they're blinded just like if you showed a blind person you
said like hey here's a color wheel there's red and green point to the red
and they're pointing to the green and then you're getting mad at the blind
person for not being able to point to red it's like well of course they can't
point to red they can't even see and it's like why would you get mad when you
show somebody something red or green in the Bible and they can't even
understand that it's red or green if they're unsaved the only thing that you
need to show an unsaved person is the gospel of Jesus Christ and then after
that you need to figure out and help them realize they need a King James Bible
because until they get a King James Bible you know it's like them not having
glasses on they can see but now they see as they see men as trees walking okay
that's what the modern versions are like it's basically having like no vision and
you and what the New Testament does and what the King James Bible does is it's
like putting on glasses now you have 20/20 vision now you can actually see
things and they'll be like well I could I could see some things without the King
James sure but it wasn't very effective was it just like people that if your
vision literally you see people as men walking you're not gonna be very
effective in life okay in the same way as the Christian life when you don't
have a King James Bible so we have to get these points you know drilled into
our minds and into our head look the old covenant is done folks it's oh it's not
like well it still applies to some people no it's done no one gets to be a
part of that agreement the only thing that the Old Testament will apply to is
is condemning you and making it clear that you're a sinner it's the only thing
that it's going to prove to you but that covenant is not applicable to anybody
it's not like well now I want to live in the Middle East and I want to follow
that old covenant no because the old covenant is gone it's done it's been
fulfilled it's over that mortgage has already been done you can't get in on
it okay now go back to Galatians chapter number three go back to Galatians
chapter three and and I hear fundamental Baptist independent fundamental
Baptist preachers saying the weirdest things on this saying bizarre things I
heard somebody around here some fundamental Baptist preacher he was
saying well now we have to understand is the law is Ishmael and the promise is
Isaac and you know we're not replacement theology so we have to understand is
that Israel is the wife of God and the church is the bride of Christ and I'm
like what are you talking about Israel the Israel that got divorced like how
does that work okay and you know there's a lot of verses that I could go to like
how about Romans chapter number seven I think if I'm remembering correctly where
it's talking about being married to another it's like look we we're not
married to the Old Testament law anymore we're married to a new husband okay and
it's it's it's weird like I was just thinking about this because it's kind of
weird right if God the Father has a wife and Jesus has a bride is the Holy
Ghost get no one like how does this work how does the I mean and okay so if the
Old Testament you know if they're the wife does that mean that Abraham is my
stepmother like how does that work because they're kind of like they kind
of got married to the father but then I'm like this bride so I'm like is that
now all the Old Testament saints are my stepmom and then for the Apostle Paul
how does that work is he his own grandpa now like is he is he the wife or the
bride or like which one is he like how does this even like this is just dumb
folks but fundamental Baptists are getting up and saying today you know Wow
you know Israel's waft God what are you talking about
where what verse is that okay now again yeah God was a husband unto the children
of Israel and I get that but then he divorced them at one point and then he
has to make a new covenant and I don't really see this distinction between the
father having this different wife as Jesus Christ I mean that's going to get
sassy up in heaven you know women you know get kind of sassy about these
things it doesn't really make a lot of sense okay but what is what is Galatians
chapter 3 verse 17 actually say the Bible says in this I say that the
covenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ the law which is 430 years
after cannot disannul that it should make the promise of none effect so what
it's saying is when God gave the land to Abraham in Genesis them having a
temporary lease 430 years later can't change the fact that the land still
Abraham's verse 18 for if the inheritance be the law it is no more a
promise but God gave it Abraham by promise so he's saying look the land was
already given over to Abraham and Jesus so even though the law came 430 years
after and said you guys can temporarily stay here it's not your land okay it's
you're just you're just getting to be on it and the only way it'll actually be
your land is if you believe in Jesus and you become the seed of Abraham you know
there are no more the seed of Abraham than I am anybody that believes on Jesus
whether they're a physical Jew or not we're both the same and the Bible makes
it clear that those who are not believed in Jesus Christ and are the physical
nation of Israel that they're Ishmael look what it says in chapter 4 verse 21
tell me ye that desire to be under the law do you not hear the law so it's
like hey you guys that want to be under the law do you not hear what the law
says for it is written that Abraham had two sons the one by a bondmaid and the
other by a free woman but he was of the bondmaid I'm sorry of the bond woman was
born after the flesh but he of the free woman was by promise now think about
this Ishmael is a physical descendant of Abraham who's also physical descendants
of Abraham the Jews the Jews are the physical seed of Abraham but they're not
the spiritual seed of Abraham that's why Jesus Christ would look at the Jews and
say hey you're not of your you're of your father the devil he's like I know
you're the seed of Abraham but you're not the sons of Abraham you're not the
children of Abraham and you don't believe in Moses and you know what you're
actually the children of the devil okay that's what Jesus said about Jews in
his day and you know what Jesus would say to the Jews in the Middle East today
you're of your father the devil okay he would not be saying hey you guys are the
children of Abraham you guys believe Moses and if Jesus went over to the
Middle East they would crucify him again that's what's so weird it's like why why
are you so confused on this so number one that Ishmael is of the flesh he's
of agar he's of Sinai he's of the law that's the Jews Isaac is a promise
coming from heaven that's a picture of those who believe okay look at verse 29
but as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born
after the Spirit even so it is now I want you to explain so I want to explain
something to you because this is what I constantly hear I also hear this from
the fundamental Baptist how Ishmael is persecuting Isaac today and they'll say
Hamas attacked Israel but wait a minute he's saying right now Ishmael's
attacking Isaac but was this Hamas was this Isis in fact show me this show me a
distinction in the New Testament between Ishmaelites and Gentiles show me one
place I don't know what happened to Ishmael biblically because you know
biblically Ishmael has 12 descendants they obviously were a nation they end up
kind of mixing some people say they kind of mixed a lot with the Midianites at
some points in the Bible you hear about the children of Israel destroying
Ishmaelites and taking their gold earrings did some of the Ishmaelites
continue living in Arabia and they they're now Islam possible I kind of
doubt it personally you know did they mix in with Jews probably there's
probably some Jews today that have bloodlines tying back to Ishmael we
probably all have bloodlines tying back to Isaac and Ishmael it's very likely if
you were to actually understand genealogies but what's silly is for me to
think that today there is a group of people that God is looking down from
heaven and saying these people are physical Ishmael that's weird just like
it's weird for me to also think that he's looking down from heaven and looking
at group people say these are physical Jews because what I would like to know
is how do you make this distinction fundamental Baptist they're like oh
Ishmael is attacking Isaac okay so some some guy walks up to Ivanka trunk and
slaps her is that Ishmael attacking Isaac now honestly is is is Ivanka trunk
the wife of God the father because she converted into Judaism and is her sons
now are they the wife of God too and are they special and the blessed chosen
people because she converted and married Jared Kushner what percentage in fact
like if I find someone in their one one hundredth Jew are they now the wife of
God and this chosen special person what if I meet someone that's one one
hundredth Jew from his descendants and he's two one hundredth Ishmael he's two
one hundredth from the Muslim which one is he is he have to fight himself like
what percentage is what percentage is even how can I decide who's these
physical Ishmaelites and these physical Jews it's nonsense folks it's nonsense
it's vain it's meaningless and then and this is what I hear from people well God
knows who they are that's weird you know who they are Gentiles okay we're all
just Gentiles at this point basically folks that's why the Bible talks about
in the New Testament and Revelation the people that say they're Jews and they're
not and they do lie is because God basically just wiped Jews out and
intermingled them everywhere they left Brown and came back white not because of
ethnic purity they came back looking like Ivanka Trump how does that how
does that work folks okay that doesn't even make sense and you even have weirder
people like the Black Keeper Israelites sorry you're not the physical
descendants okay it's obvious but it's okay cuz no one it no one really is it
doesn't matter we all are to some degree probably I mean there was millions and
millions of Jews scattered across the whole world you don't think that the
statistical probability of one of your ancestors being Jewish exists you're
probably a Jew and you didn't know it sorry to burst your bubble okay but even
even if you weren't even if you're just I'm a pure ishmaelite it doesn't matter
God doesn't care you know what he really you know the who the real ishmaelites
attacking Isaac are Jews attacking Christians it's Chase Bank shutting you
down that's ishmael attacking Isaac it's Wells Fargo and Bank of America shutting
you down it's gay pal I mean PayPal shutting you down Peter Thiel shutting
you down and and I people people say well you you're not being attacked for
being godly or Christian or whatever and I'm like okay let's just say I'm not who
is show me the churches that are being relentlessly attacked I say you believe
the devil exists yep and demons exist yep okay who is the devil the demons
attacking relentlessly then because if they really exist shouldn't they be
attacking God's people in the churches somewhere and it's like here's a bunch
of churches that are being attacked well they're not the ones being attacked by
the devil okay well then show me the ones that are whoa look it's pretty
obvious folks it's pretty obvious if you believe in the devil and his minions
they're gonna be attacking God's people and you say who's his minions the
synagogue of Satan who's that well the New Testament says the Jews and it says
that they're Ishmael now this makes sense because the Bible is saying hey
Ishmael was attacking Isaac making fun of Isaac envious of Isaac and so he
attacked him and it's the same today that the Jews attacked the Christians
today they mock the Christians and they're envious of the Christians today
not only that in this chapter look at verse 30 nevertheless would say the
scripture cast out the bondwoman and her son for the son of the bondwoman shall
not be heir with the son of the free woman it doesn't say oh cast out the
wife of God because she's the wife and she'll still stay the wife nope cast
her out she's done she will not be an heir the unsaved Jews will not be an
heir with Christians they will not inherit the promised land it is not
theirs there's thieves and there's they're taking it right now by force
they're violent and they're taking it by force and you know what they're robbers
and they're they're they're basically in the immigration context you know they're
they're not real citizens they're squatters folks they're illegal aliens
the Jews are illegal aliens on that land and they don't deserve to be on that
land and they're just it you know it's funny how these things always shadow the
actual Jews they'll say oh there's this Ishmael over there and you have to
understand who Ishmael is it's the Jews and then they'll be like it's not the
Jews okay what is Galatians 4 meme Galatians what what chapter oh I'm not
I'm not one of these anti-Jew people the same fundamental Baptist preacher that
said all this weird stuff he said if you find someone that's anti-Jew then
either a he's not saved or B he's completely ignorant of the Bible like
what now I'm not even saved? Okay so I have to go worship Ivanka Trump to be
saved is that how it works? I have to go find some Weinstein and bow down to him
and now I can be saved? Look that's weird it's weird you have to overcompensate
so much tell me what Galatians 4 means then I would love for the Zionists to
explain to me how these people who Ishmael is according to Galatians
chapter number 4 verse 31 so then brethren we are not children of the
bondwoman but of the free now I want to go to a couple more places and I'll
finish let's go to Acts chapter 13 Acts chapter number 13 and Romans
2 that's the last place I'll have you turn okay now just
just to make it clear they say oh we have to understand Ishmael if you go
back to Genesis for a second time we're not going to go there
it's like Ishmael is going to be this wild man and he's going to be against
everybody okay well let's just let's keep with our
story this is what's interesting you know the first person
that's circumcised in the Bible is it's Abraham and Ishmael
you know the covenant of circumcision you know is given to
Ishmael and you know what who's called the circumcision over and over in the
Bible the Jews you know what they said about
Ishmael he's gonna beget 12 princes and you know what the children
of Israel are known for having the 12 tribes of Israel and then
they said oh he's a wild man that's about Ishmael that's about the arabs
but you know what it says in first Thessalonians chapter number two that
he's contrary to all men and you know he's talking about Jews
you know who the bible is really talking about you know who Ishmael really is
it's the Jews the Jews are Ishmael and it's so funny that
all these Christian Zionists out there are just like we gotta stand with Israel
against Ishmael and I'm like you're right so you're
gonna start standing with the new IFB against the Jews
that's not what they meant we don't like them we don't like these
replacement theology people oh we don't believe in replacement theology
okay what do you what do you call it if you have a plant
and you break off a branch and then you get a new branch and you
put it on that old broken branch and you replace it
what would you call that that sounds like replacement theology
where you take an old Jew that doesn't believe and rip them off
throw them away and you get an a new Gentile
and you grab him and you stick him into that plant and you graft him in
sounds like he replaced that old Jew didn't he what the Bible teaches folks
you know what it doesn't teach that Ivanka Trump getting married to Jared
Kushner is now the wife of God that's weird
okay and how do you how do they even reconcile how do they reconcile this
kind of stuff it just doesn't even make sense
you know in John chapter 4 I'm not going there either but this is a great point
you know Jesus told her that it's there's coming a time when you're not
going to worship in Jerusalem anymore and you know I've noticed there's a lot
of these like poor observing Christians some guy like
Jim Stanley or something or Staley he he's like this big proponent of keeping
the Sabbath and he's like talking about how we need to keep the Sabbath and
this one he did like a debate and this guy's like so
are you going to make a journey to Jerusalem this year and then do the
Passover he's like well we don't have the temple
and he's like what if we had the temple well then I would do it so this is why
you see all these Christians they want to build the temple so they can go back
over there and offer more blasphemous sacrifices
the Judaizers of Galatians who are not saved I'm afraid of you Jim
sounds like you're not even saved why are you trying to bring us back into the
law the law is done away it's fulfilled it's abolished
get over it the new covenant's better bacon I mean what
if someone's trying to take you away from bacon you know it's satanic okay
God said that that creature is blessed when I pray for it
and I sanctify it with the word of God in prayer you know what
praise God for bacon and you know we're bacon you know we're the bacon
that got redeemed and sanctified by the Lord Jesus Christ
and you know what praise God for that so I just want to recap
point number one the land belongs to Christ point number two the Old Testament
was fulfilled point number three the heirs of the land are believers
which we established here just now that we were the children of the free
and number four stop supporting the building of any satanic temple
it's like oh well let's let's get the dome of the rock off there that satanic
symbol and and bring the antichrist temple in
like look they're both satanic you know I'm not pro
dome of the rock I'm not pro Islam you know I'm also not pro Judaism
I'm not like so excited about getting my satanic temple on there versus yours or
something it's like they're both let's just
stop endorsing satanic religions and preach the gospel
why wouldn't our philosophy be like hey let's preach the gospel to the jews and
to the the muslims to both of them they both need
the gospel and you know what I what I've noticed is that zionists
we don't preach the gospel to zionists or to the jews because they're already
saved they're already the wife and we don't preach the gospel to the
muslims because they're just so evil and so
rat we just let's just make their land a parking lot for your shopping mall
probably right that simon owns the simon shopping
center it's because it's a jew owns it okay folks i don't know if you got that
yeah well i'm i'm shocked that they want to get rid of the gaza strip and turn
into a parking lot with a shopping mall you know and then christians will come
there and buy their little trinkets yeah but you know instead of trying to
kill all the muslims why don't we preach them the gospel
and instead of giving money to the jews to build their temple why don't we
tell them hey you don't need that temple and preach them the gospel
you know this is the real christian viewpoint and and stop you know why
why preach a sermon like this well i want you to stop getting sucked into
racism this zionism is a racist doctrine people
always talk about how we're racist because we don't support israel it's
like no you by being a zionist are racist we're not the racist ones here
and look there's been so many things online said about just destroying and
killing like all palestinians and all these muslims and whatever
and i'm thinking like it just one person said the opposite with jews
it's like they'd be in prison already or killed or i mean it's just like and
canceled so hard the double standard is high folks and it
shouldn't be among christians that we are giving into this double
standard and i've you know i've been there i've seen it i've heard it i've
been sympathetic to these views of like let's just bomb them all you know
and it's like but that's a wicked attitude just like the jews wanted to
just burn all the samaritans you know just nuke them
just like jona ninovites nuke them jona was the first zionist
okay and he was really disappointed that god didn't want to nuke all the
ninovites oh these people are violent well muslims
are pretty violent they can be pretty violent can't they
but you know what we should still preach them the gospel and you know
let's be real if you run into a door and it's either a muslim or a jew which
one's more likely to get saved not neither but none of you all have
actually knocked on these doors apparently that's good
it's probably still more likely to get a muslim now i've gotten a few muslim
children saved that weren't that muslim i've never gotten a jew saved that i
can remember but i have met i've met people that
their mother was jewish so by the technical definition they'd be a jew
and they're a saved christian and i don't hate that person i'm not
mad at that person i like that person that person's my brother in christ
okay but you know it's not my brother in christ a guy wearing pigtails
spitting on christians wanting to build the anti-christ temple
oh you're so you're just you speak so mad about the jews
well let's see what paul said acts chapter 13 look at verse 45
all right but when the jews saw the multitudes they were filled with envy
and spake against those things which were spoken by paul
contradicting blaspheming then paul and barnabas waxbold and said
you're the wife of god you don't need anything oh that was the message sorry
here's the king james it was necessary that the word of god
should first have been spoken to you but seeing you put it from you
and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life
lo we turn to the gentiles oh these jews they're already saved
they already have their covenant they're already good no no no paul said hey
you're unworthy of everlasting life wow that's harsh
that's that's bible that's the reality you say what message you have to the jew
get saved now before you prove yourself unworthy of everlasting life
like george soros or claude swab or some of these other freaks
you know many of them have already proved themselves unworthy of
everlasting life they hate the god of the bible they hate
jesus christ and they spit on his name these blasphemous rabbis why would i
want to give money to these people it just doesn't make sense folks
and look i'm not of the opinion that every single jew
that's unsaved is a reprobate or is a minister of the devil okay i think
that there's plenty of people that are just
raised jewish and that's just what they think that's how they are
there's some people that are raised jewish and kind of rejected and they're
kind of secular obviously they've been taught a very
satanic religion and it's kind of evidenced in their
lives by being a lover of money and and doing a lot of wicked things
they kind of have a weird view on life you know atheists have weird views on
life and they're really dangerous and i think people being taught judaism
are very dangerous you know we shouldn't have this mentality
that every person that's physically jewish is like a wicked evil person
you know that's a bad mentality and people accuse us of being nazis all day
long but you know what i'm still not a nazi i
still don't like adolf hitler i'm still not looking to eradicate every
physical descendant of juday of of of the race
jew which i don't even think that exists personally
but you know what i am going to be 100 against the religion of judaism
and many of those people are reprobate and we need to be
woken up on this issue because you will not hear this anywhere else
there is not anywhere else that's going to say this and the few places you might
hear it it'll sound more like hitler a little bit okay
the only people that typically talk about this are usually like neo-nazi
like crazy people okay let's get to the biblical perspective
we're not trying to eradicate them we're trying to preach in the gospel okay and
when they prove themselves unworthy of everlasting life and move on to the next
one okay let's close in prayer thank you
heavenly father so much for the word of god thank you so much for allowing us
to be grafted in as wild olive plants and wild olive
trees and i pray that you would just help us to have the right mentality
towards the lost whether they be jew gentile ishmael red yellow black and
white we don't care we want to get them all saved and and i
pray that we wouldn't have a heart that's hardened
against bad people that we want them to be saved too that we
wouldn't be like jona wishing all the ninnovites to just die and be destroyed
and that we wouldn't support some kind of a satanic religion
that we would help christians wake up and realize that they're a christian
that that land belongs to jesus that we're just sojourners and strangers
and i i pray that you would help us to have a biblical mindset when it comes
to these issues so we won't be carried away into weird
false doctrine in jesus name we pray amen all right everyone for our last song
we're going to go to 216 surely goodness and mercy 216 surely
goodness and mercy song 216 surely goodness and mercy
thank you all for coming god bless you are dismissed
