Relation to chapter 3.
Relation to chapter 3 of chapter 1.
By primary, there is one situation in which you must be which to you.
That you should not have dazed at 3.
If I, Jesus Christ, was evidently set forth, I among you.
And if I die among you,
I shall be defeated by the works of the Lord,
by the law, by the hickering of the dead.
I shall be foolish,
coming to die with the Spirit,
and now be passing by the flesh.
The Spirit, and the works of miracles among you,
should keep it by the works of the Lord,
and by the hearing of faith.
Even as Abraham believed God,
and it was accounted to him for righteousness,
knowing ye therefore that they which are of faith,
the same are the children of Abraham.
And the scripture, for seeing that God
would justify the heathen through faith,
preached before the gospel unto Abraham,
saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham,
for as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse.
For it is written,
Cursed is every one that continueth not
in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
That no man is justified by the law in the sight of God,
it is evident before that 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 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.
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men,
though it be but a man's covenant,
yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth or addeth thereto.
Now to Abraham, Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
He saith not unto seeds as of many,
but as of one, unto thy seed which is Christ.
And this I say,
that the covenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ,
the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after,
cannot disannull that it should make the promise of none effect.
For if the inheritance be of the law,
there is no more of promise,
but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Wherefore then serveth the law,
it was added because of transgressions,
till the seed should come to whom the promise was made,
and it was ordained by angels in the hand of the mediator.
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one,
but God is one.
Is the law then against the promises of God?
God forbid.
Or if there had been a law given which could have given life,
verily righteousness should have been by the law.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin,
that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
But before faith came we were kept under the law,
shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ,
that we might be justified by faith.
But after that faith is come,
we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
We are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you, as have been baptised into Christ,
have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female,
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed,
and heirs according to the promise.
Brother Matt, could you please pray for these sons?
Thank you Lord for helping us together today.
According to the description upon Brother Ian,
and he can preach well,
and with a tenth of his a month's worth of practice in our way.
Amen.
Amen, right.
The title of my sermon today is The Rotten Fruits of Zionism.
The Rotten Fruits of Zionism.
And Galatians chapter 3, also known as by some the Zionist Kryptonite.
Because these, and when I say Zionism,
there is a large scale of what we know as either Christian Zionism, Zionism,
and Galatians 3 is pretty much avoided by all these guys.
These dispensationalist types, these, you know, these Jew worshippers basically,
they really avoid going through really the whole book of Galatians,
and I've never heard expository preaching on that by these people.
Now when I was first saved, I'll level with you,
before I was first saved, I did have an interest in peoples of the world,
particularly Israel, what we call today Jews,
and we're going to see whether they are or not in a minute.
And it was something that always fascinated me,
ownerships of things, power in the world, etc.
Okay, then I got saved, and I got saved,
and I started trying out different churches in this country,
and something which I found really difficult was that so many of these,
in fact every church I went to, to some degree,
was acting as if these people that we call today Jews
were somehow these special people,
were somehow basically above everyone else,
they were this chosen nation, and they could do no wrong pretty much in their eyes.
And there are different, like I say, there's different scales of this.
Right, so I'd like to say, what is Christian Zionism?
And there is a scale, so you've got the extreme,
you've got the John Hagees, if you've ever heard of these,
and these are people that basically believe that the Jews are just automatically saved,
that they are this special people that God's got the promise of,
that they don't have to follow the Gospel at all,
it's a different salvation for them, basically due to bloodline.
And then you've got the opposite end, which isn't as extreme,
but you've got these guys that are like, look, we know, obviously they need to get saved,
everyone needs to get saved.
Yeah, they're obviously sinful people, but God's not done with them yet,
God's not done with the Jews, and we hear this a lot as well,
and they believe that they're somehow going to have some automatic belief in salvation,
that they can't even resist, basically irresistible grace,
at some point in the end times.
And there's all different versions of this sort of heresy all over the place.
I went to a church in London called Bethel for a while,
and some of you guys are out as well,
and when I first went there, the pastor there,
he used to pray for Israel four times a service.
Four times a service there would be a prayer for Israel,
the state that we call Israel in particular,
and the prayers would be about the anti-Semites and all these evil people,
and poor Israel, and protect them and everything else.
And like I said, I was trying to learn, I was reading the Bible,
and I already had this certain amount of knowledge,
I was wrong on a lot of things, but I had some awareness.
And then I'm reading my Bible, and I'm reading through the New Testament,
and I'm thinking, this don't add up, this don't add up at all,
what's this guy on about, am I just completely missing something,
am I just a baby Christ, I don't get it at all.
But no, I wasn't, I wasn't missing anything.
So where do these guys, and I would assume,
I would hope that he was saved, and sadly many aren't,
where do they get this from?
Firstly, well not firstly, in fact there's been heresies
probably since the beginning of your time and all sorts of nonsense going on,
but one of the big ones in independent fundamental Baptist church circles
and in fundamentalism in general came from C.I. Schofield.
I don't know if many of you here have heard of C.I. Schofield.
Schofield basically produced a reference Bible,
which he, there seemed to be quite a bit of sponsorship of backing it,
he was able to just give it out to churches all across the states at the beginning.
And I don't even know how that worked, there are some conspiracies about it,
probably true a lot of them, I'm not sure.
But regardless, in 1909, C.I. Schofield has basically got notes
on most, most verses, chapters of the Bible.
So I prepared for this sermon, I thought I wonder what C.I. Schofield said
about Galatians chapter 3 for example, hardly a word.
So that was one passage of his reference Bible, it was pretty much blank,
especially on the passages that we're going to look at in a minute.
But, and go over and have a look at that because it's quite interesting,
but he did have some notes on some other parts,
and a lot of heresy in there, a lot of false teaching.
Now, it came across, and he was a lawyer, I think originally C.I. Schofield.
Same as I think John Nelson Darby was as well.
John Nelson Darby, who was the founder of the Plymouth, Ben Gregory,
again, he propagated this Zionism, this dispensationalism as well,
that we see all over the place.
And then another guy that is big on this, a guy called Clarence Larkin.
And Clarence Larkin, he wrote, there's a book, Dispensational Truth,
another one that you might have heard mentioned a lot,
called Rightly Dividing the Word.
I don't know if anyone has heard of that.
Rightly Dividing the Word.
And you hear this sort of thing talked about by these pastors,
you have it rightly dividing, you have it rightly dividing the word.
And now what Clarence Larkin did is he produced all these charts.
So even easier, I didn't even have to read through the nonsense
that these guys were peddling, it was all just out of charts.
You could just look at the chart and go, this is what's going to happen,
and it's easy for basic people that don't really want to study hard.
Now, what's happened is all across independent fundamental Baptist churches,
people just had Schofield Bibles.
I mean, I've heard old preaching where you go,
go in your Schofield Bible and turn to this page, and it's wicked.
It's wicked because you're basically just being taught by a man.
Who even is Schofield?
When you look at his background as well, his history, it's really dodgy.
Not the sort of pure guy that you want to teach you the Bible,
regardless, we should have been having a Bible with a load of notes
written by someone else when we're reading, studying,
and this just spread like a cancer across good churches.
Okay, and the result of it was these basically pretty much
all independent Bible-believing churches all around the place
subscribing to some degree pretty much to this sort of nonsense,
this Zionism, this worship of the Jews,
putting them on this pedestal.
Now, what does the Bible say about them?
What does the Bible say?
Well, Galatians chapter 3, verse 7.
Look at verse 7.
It says,
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith the same are the children of Abraham.
So those of us in here that are of faith,
which is pretty much the whole room,
at least that are old enough to put their faith in Jesus Christ
and understand the Gospel,
if you're afraid the other children of Abraham, says the Bible.
Now, when we say what is of faith, what's of faith?
Well, of faith is having put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
So when you put your faith in Christ as your Saviour,
the Bible says that's faith, that's salvation.
Okay, you call upon the name of the Lord.
It's not turning from your sins.
It's not, and sorry, when I said Lord and Saviour,
it's not making him Lord of your life,
having to follow him to some degree.
It's putting your faith in Christ.
So we all know that here.
I've preached on this.
I think everyone understands that.
Right.
Look at Galatians 3, 9.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faith from Abraham.
So we're blessed with faith from Abraham.
What are these blessings?
So let's turn to Genesis 12 and just see some of these blessings.
Okay, Genesis chapter 12.
Okay, from verse 1.
Genesis 12, 1.
Now the Lord had said unto Abram,
Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred,
and from thy father's house unto a land I will show thee,
and I will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless thee and make thy name great,
and thou shalt be a blessing,
and I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee,
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Now, I've heard this verse by preachers used
to try and threaten people into supporting the state of Israel,
what we call Israel to this day.
Some of you might have heard this before.
I've heard this from preachers who I've heard online preaching,
who will quote this and say,
basically, you have to bless them.
He's going to curse you if you curse the Jews,
if you curse Israel.
These are the children of Israel.
It's complete nonsense.
Look at Genesis 13 and verse 15.
Genesis 13 and verse 15.
For all the land which thou seest,
to thee will I give it and to thy seed forever,
and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth,
so that if a man can number the dust of the earth,
then shall thy seed also be numbered.
Okay, so here he's talking about making his seed
as the dust of the earth, multiplying this seed.
Now, I've heard people try and go,
look, see, that's not Christians.
Well, I disagree, because from early, early days
and throughout history there have been a lot of people
that have put their faith in Christ.
It might be less now,
but we're talking over thousands and thousands of years here,
people have been able to come to faith
always through Jesus Christ, through the Saviour.
Okay, look at Genesis 17 and verse 6 to 8.
And I will make thee exceeding fruitful,
and I will make nations of thee,
and kings shall come out of thee,
and I will establish my covenant between thee and thee
and thy seed after thee in their generations
for an everlasting covenant to be of God unto thee
and to thy seed after thee.
Okay, so there he's talking about these blessings.
He's going to be a God to them.
Well, let's see what he says.
Let's see how this is explained in the book of Galatians by Paul.
Turn back to Galatians then.
Galatians 3.14.
Let's see what these blessings, what they actually mean,
how that comes about,
how that is going to come upon us as believers through faith.
Galatians 3.14.
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ,
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
And verse 16.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made,
he saith not unto seeds as of many,
but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.
Again, a verse they hate going to,
and a verse which is basically saying the blessing of Abraham
came on Jesus Christ, the seed, and us through Christ,
because we are in Christ, aren't we?
Christ is in us through the Holy Spirit, and that's the seed.
We're the seed.
Jesus Christ lives on through us.
Okay, Romans 2.28.
Turn to Romans 2.28.
Okay, Romans 2.28.
For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly,
neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh,
but he is a Jew which is one inwardly,
and circumcision is that of the heart in the Spirit,
and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men,
but of God.
How clear is it? How clear is that?
He is not a Jew which is one outwardly,
neither that circumcision which is outward in the flesh.
What circumcision?
We know what circumcision is.
Some of you might not.
Circumcision is basically where a male had his foreskin removed,
and we know that was as a sign originally,
and now it's saying, wait, these people aren't Jews.
Now it's saying, what's circumcision?
Circumcision is outward in the flesh.
It's not outward in the flesh.
It's inwardly.
Circumcision is that of the heart in the Spirit,
and not in the letter.
Okay, so what's this circumcision of the heart?
Okay, let's see circumcision of the heart.
Colossians chapter 2.
And verse 8, the Bible says,
beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy
and vain deceit after the tradition of men.
There's a lot of that going on, isn't there?
After the rudiments of the world and not after Christ.
And I'm going to show you in a minute,
it is of the rudiments of the world,
this racist, this genealogy stuff.
Okay, but in him dwelleth all the fullness
of the Godhead bodily, and ye are complete in him
which is ahead of all principality and power,
in whom also ye are circumcised
with the circumcision made without hands,
in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh
by the circumcision of Christ.
The circumcision of Christ.
Just quickly, just turn back to Philippians 3.3.
Believers here, for we are the circumcision
which worshiped God in the spirit
and rejoiced in Christ Jesus
and have no confidence in the flesh.
Okay, it's pretty clear, isn't it?
We are the circumcision.
We are.
You're not a Judas one outwardly
but one inwardly in this of the heart.
Now, there are many, many voices
Now, you know, I could have spent this whole sermon
literally just reading verse after verse,
sections, chapters of the Bible,
talk about how we graft into the tree,
we could talk about the children of promise.
It's all so clear, but those verses are clear enough.
So why do we then have to go back to the Old Testament,
find a promise, talk to Israel,
oh, well, that's null and void?
But it's not, because we take on those promises
through faith in Jesus Christ, it's so clear.
This isn't just, oh, well, let's wipe this out
because, you know, Jeremiah 31 or whatever else.
No, no, this is all, we're fulfilling that
through Jesus Christ.
It's pretty obvious, it's pretty clear.
And you do, you know,
and I don't want to be one of those who aren't,
but you do wonder, don't you, like, how can you read that?
How can you read your Bible?
Read the book of Galatians especially.
Read the book of Romans.
How do you read that and then come away
and go, yeah, yeah, special people, chosen people,
yeah, they're the Jews.
It beckons belief.
And now half of these guys don't even really read their Bibles,
they do devotion, oh, sorry, no,
they read their Staufield reference Bible
of things written by men.
But it's crazy.
Now, why is it important, though?
Why is it important? Why am I preaching on this?
Why is it important? And obviously, you know,
we should be preaching doctrine here,
and doctrine is important.
I believe that this doctrine is important.
What are the results of this heresy?
And it is a heresy.
What are the results of it?
Well, number one is racism.
Number one, it's racist to the core.
It's racist.
And, you know, when you start encouraging racism,
it doesn't just stop at one particular aspect of it.
Okay, number one is racism.
So in Bapticulation 3 and verse 28,
there is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female,
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ,
then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs
according to the promise.
Pretty clear, isn't it?
But just a quick newsflash here.
It's not only those with dark skin,
or it's not only Jews,
as they try and tell us today,
that can be victims of racism.
So there's victims of racism,
and there's racism through every angle.
And the thing is, it is wicked.
And it's in so many people's flesh.
And I see it as a massive way of divide and conquer.
And we see that in society all the time.
They love Vermont, and they like acting like,
oh, we're so anti-racism.
But then they're constantly putting it on a particular race.
So right now we're seeing a lot of evil whites,
you know, the evil white racists.
Like somehow you and I and anyone else who's white in here,
as in their eyes, who's white,
is somehow responsible for some sort of things
that have gone on in the past, which is racist.
That's a completely racist idea, isn't it?
And why have I got to do what?
Because I'm that race.
Yeah, it's ridiculous.
But in the same way, yet we have seen,
we've seen racism against people of darkest years.
We've seen racism against all sorts throughout history.
But it doesn't mean that anyone here is responsible for that.
And it doesn't mean that you need to constantly propagate
these different races, this separation,
this if-you-don't-take-her-knee, this Black Lives Matter nonsense,
which is full.
The people that run this are sodomites.
They're filthy, filthy people that are the head of that movement
and pushing it on people that somehow you're a racist
if you're not taking a knee and getting involved
in that sodomite organisation.
It's disgusting.
And it's constantly trying to push it down your throat,
down your throat, the racism, the racism.
I notice, like, you'll read, like, for example,
you'll read news articles.
And what they'll do is they'll give, like,
a racial description sometimes, sometimes,
of someone who's committed a crime, just for no reason at all.
Even when they're not even looking out for that person.
Then what they'll do is when there's a crime
that everyone knows is going on by a certain group in society,
for example, like, I was thinking about
there was some of the grooming stuff going on
which was a big part of, like, the Pakistani community
in some of these areas.
Then they won't purposely mention any of that.
So then all these, like, white guys are going on at sea
and they're trying to cover it up.
But everyone knows.
Everyone knows who it is.
That's not a secret.
It's just constant, constant little waves
of getting everyone wound up, worked up with each other,
constantly divided, constantly angry with other races.
It's absolute nonsense.
And it's pushing us all the time.
But what they call us, and Zionists call us anti-Semites,
so they call people like myself who are just preaching the Bible
and say, no, this race isn't better, more important than anyone else.
No, it's all through faith in Christ Jesus.
We're all one.
No, no, you're an anti-Semite.
Apparently we're anti-Semites.
It's ridiculous.
But the whole thing, it's so reverse, isn't it?
And it's darkness for light and light for darkness.
Isn't it good for you, even for good?
How are you an anti-Semite?
You're an anti-Semite because you're just saying,
no, no, one race isn't above anyone else.
And by the way, let's just cut that out anyway
because it's not a race.
They're not a race of people.
They're a religion.
And they're a wicked religion at that.
They're a wicked religion at that.
Now, what they try and do is they try and push you with the Catholics.
It's like you're a Catholic anti-Semite
or it's all come through Catholicism.
And I've heard this.
I've been accused of this as well.
Like subtly, you know, kind of,
and, oh, well, what it is is, you know,
people are taking on this Catholic.
It's all started with these evil Roman Catholic anti-Semite.
And already, by the way,
they're just grouping all Roman Catholics together,
but the irony of that is lost to them anyway.
But regardless, they're trying to say
that any criticism of Israel, any criticism at all,
any just stating of any facts
that you're some sort of wicked anti-Semite,
but they're the racists.
They're the ones raising up the race.
They're the ones propagating the race myth.
They're the ones constantly trying to separate into races.
Based on what?
Okay, Titus.
Have a look at Titus 3.9.
Titus chapter 3 of verse 9.
But avoid foolish questions and genealogies
and contentions and strivings about the law
for they are unprofitable and vain.
So, according to the Bible,
we should be avoiding genealogies.
And how do these guys state claim?
And by the way, the whole thing is wicked
because they claim that they have some sort of right.
And it's absolutely amazing, isn't it?
Because you've got a whole world that completely discredit
and say that the majority of them
basically say they don't believe anything to do with the Bible.
Yet somehow, what we call Jews today,
these people have some right to a lamb
based on what they claim the Bible says.
Okay, then they're in this land displacing these Palestinians,
these people out of their homes,
at gunpoint a lot of the time.
And if you've ever watched or seen a map of how much it spread
from if you looked at when they first started the state of Israel
to what it is now, it's unbelievable.
And that's all come from displacing people
and moving people out of their homes
because they're not the race of Jews.
It's wicked.
And by the way, they can't back any of it up with any DNA.
They don't have DNA testing to prove that you're a Jew.
It's based on, it's basically like,
a survey's not the right word,
but it's information coming from your community
that you're being part of the Jewish community.
You can then state claim to Israel.
They can't do it with DNA because DNA won't prove anything,
as we're going to see in a minute.
Okay, Psalm 119, don't worry about time now, 104 says,
Through thy precepts I get understanding,
therefore I hate every false way.
They are a religion, and I hate that religion.
There you go, I hate that religion.
I hate every false religion, okay?
And most Christians have no problem
with hating certain false religions.
For some reason, they don't hate the false religion of Judaism.
And it is a wicked, wicked religion.
Now, just quickly about this, about this whole race thing,
there have been so many converts over the years to Judaism.
It can't be, it's not a race, it's ridiculous.
But let's just see, let's see the Bible first.
Look at the book of Esther, in chapter eight.
Esther, chapter eight, and verse 17.
Okay.
And in every province, and in every city,
whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came,
the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day,
and many of the people of the land became Jews,
for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
Many, many of the people of the land,
are these children of Abraham?
No, they're people of the land, have become Jews.
And we know in the Old Testament that people could join
if a stranger wanted to come in there to be welcomed in.
We see things like Ruth the Moabite,
she's in the line of Jesus Christ.
But regardless, many people of the land became Jews.
What about the Ashkenazi converts?
And this isn't even, nobody even argues this,
it's so frustrating sometimes,
because they won't argue that you've got,
in something like, it's about 8th, 9th century AD,
you've got literally thousands and thousands of converts
from what we know as, they're now called Ashkenazi Jews.
This basic group of people that converted to Judaism,
to the religion of Judaism,
which now make up something like 90%.
So they're like your sort of European looking Jews.
90% come from this background, yet they're all converts.
Yet they somehow have some sort of right to a land somewhere,
and somehow we should all be bowing down and worshipping them,
and oh, you've got something done with these people,
God's not done with who? What? The converts of Judaism.
The wicked Christ rejecting religion of Judaism.
Like, it makes no sense.
Have a look at Colossians, Colossians chapter 3 verse 11.
Colossians chapter 3 verse 11 says,
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,
circumcision nor uncircumcision,
barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free,
but Christ is all in all.
Okay, there's none of those. In Christ we're all one.
Okay, so what other races are they lifting above others?
Now, they all seem to be on board with this BLM junk.
They all love the old, you know, the evil white racists and everything else.
The Hebrew Roots movement comes from this, just a slant of this,
and the Hebrew Roots is all about, oh, the blacks are the real Israel.
It's just such junk, yeah, such worldly junk, yeah.
What about, what do they believe?
They believe Jews are more important than Muslims, don't they?
And again, they use that really as a race,
but they uplift the Jewish race above the Muslims.
What about maybe the whites above the Muslims?
Because they kind of put them right at the bottom usually,
or at least the world does, at least the other Zionist,
Christians, the Jews themselves, they have us right down there,
us Bible-believing Christians.
Whites above Asians, maybe.
Whatever it is, it's all so wicked and it's all such nonsense,
because really, we all came from Noah, didn't we?
Really, that's as far as we'll go to Noah.
Yeah, we all come from Adam, but we go to Noah.
So yes, people have gone to different areas,
and yes, there are some genetic characteristics and cultural things
and we inherit things off errors, but it's all such nonsense.
It's all such nonsense because we're all just a human race, aren't we?
And they love it, they love propagating this stuff
and keeping this divided, this people getting angry with each other,
proud of your race, be proud of your race.
Why am I proud of my race? What am I proud of?
What have I got? I've got nothing to do with it at all.
And it's such junk. And people, they go to some degree with it
and it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
Have a look at Romans 10. Romans 10, 12.
Romans 10, verse 12.
Again, for there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek.
For the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
There is no difference.
There is, again, verse after verse, there is no difference.
Okay, that's not just the Greek. The Greek is everyone.
That's the non-Jew, basically. That's the rest of the world.
There is no difference. We are all one.
Okay, how hard is it? How hard is it for these people to get their heads running?
The problem is they don't read the Bible. When they do read the Bible,
they read it through the lens of someone else.
Okay, so rotten fruits of Zionism. Number one is racism.
Number two, what's another rotten fruit? Well, it's the love of God haters.
The love of God haters.
Turn to 2 Chronicles, chapter 19.
2 Chronicles, chapter 19, and verse 2.
And Jehu, the son of Hanani, the seer, went out to meet him and said to king Jehoshaphat,
shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord?
Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.
Now, this is Jehoshaphat helping the wicked king Ahad. What does he say?
Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord?
Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.
Okay, but they don't hate the Lord, do they?
And again, maybe I'm preaching to the choir here,
but I don't know. I don't know what everyone's background is,
how much they understand about this topic, but the world will have you believe,
the world will have you believe that these people, they're basically like us.
They just haven't accepted Christ, but they believe in the God and the Bible and everything else.
I disagree. Have a look at John. In fact, the Bible disagrees too.
Have a look at John chapter 15.
John chapter 15 and verse 23.
Okay, now Jesus is talking of the world here,
but you're going to see in a second that they are the world.
Have a look. He says here, he that hated me hated my father also,
if I had not done among them the works which none other man did,
they had not had sin, but now have they both seen and hated both me and my father.
But this cometh to pass that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law,
their law, they hated me without a cause.
Okay, the Babylonian Talmud, which is what these people really follow,
the religion of Judaism follows a Babylonian Talmud,
and it contains repeated blasphemy, blasphemy about the Lord,
about calling him the son of Pantera, which was a Roman soldier,
about Mary, calling her all sorts of wicked things you can only imagine.
Where they believe Jesus is, what they say he really is,
calling him a magician and all this other stuff, it is absolutely wicked.
That book is wicked. Okay, but what about, I just thought they just follow the Torah.
They follow the Torah, don't they?
Well, if that were true, if it were true and they just followed the Torah,
then, well, turn to 1 Thessalonians 2.
1 Thessalonians 2.
Well, I read John 3.36.
He that believeth on the Son had everlasting life,
but he that believeth not the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abideth on him.
The wrath of God abideth on him.
Okay, there's no, oh, well, you just believe that part but not that.
No, the wrath of God abides on you.
Well, 1 Thessalonians 2 and have a look at verse 14.
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God,
which in Judea are in Christ Jesus.
But ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen,
even as they have of the Jews.
You know, the Jews are people that just follow God,
these great, great religious men who understand the Old Testament so much.
Well, let's see what they did.
Who both killed the Lord Jesus and our own prophets
and have persecuted us and they pleased not God
and are 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 is come upon them to the uttermost.
The wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
They don't observe the Torah.
These people, these people persecute Christians.
They still do to this day.
You know it's illegal, it's illegal in Israel to preach the gospel.
It's illegal to preach the gospel.
What sort of a wicked place.
And these people that pray for them four times for service,
pray for these people, these Christ-rejected God-haters.
It's disgusting.
Look at Matthew 15.
Matthew chapter 15.
And from verse 1.
Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders,
for they wash not their hands when they eat bread?
But he asked and said unto them,
Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother,
and he that curseth father or mother, let him die the dead.
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother,
It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me,
and honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Ye hypocrites, worldly desires prophesy of you, saying,
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
And that's exactly what the Talmud is.
It's teaching for doctrines and commandments of men.
Have you ever wondered why they have some bizarre rituals,
bizarre stuff, they do this weird stuff,
they bang their heads against walls,
they do all this crazy, crazy stuff.
None of it, none of it is biblical at all.
None of what they do.
It's from the Babylonian Talmud, and they consider that to be the writings of God.
No, they're teaching for doctrines, the commandments of men.
It's a false religion that blasphemes Jesus Christ.
Have a look at John 8.
John chapter 8, and verse 39.
John 8, 39.
They answered and said unto him,
Abraham is our father.
This is Jesus talking to the Pharisees here.
Abraham is our father.
Jesus saith unto them,
If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
But now ye seek to kill me.
A man hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God.
This did not Abraham.
Ye do the deeds of your father.
Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication.
We have one father, even God.
Jesus said unto them,
If God were your father, ye would love me,
for I proceeded forth and came from God.
Neither came of myself, but he sent me.
Why do ye not understand my speech?
Even because ye cannot hear my word.
Ye are of your father, the devil,
and the lusts of your father, ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaks of the lie, he speaks of his own,
for he is a liar and the father of it.
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Which of you convinces me of sin?
And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
He that is of God heareth God's word.
Ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Then answered Jesus, said unto him,
Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and has a devil.
Now, they've been blaspheming Jesus Christ ever since then.
These people, what you just said, they're children of Satan,
what we call children of the devil, sons of the devil, sons of Belial.
Now, I'm not saying that every single person that the world calls a Jew,
I'm not saying every single one of those is a son of Belial.
But what I am saying is that religion, anyone preaching that religion,
anyone following that religion, anyone calling Jesus,
calling Jesus a devil, saying he has a devil in him,
or anything like that, is a reprobate.
Amen.
They're a reprobate, they're sons of Belial,
and you know what, for me, I want them to die.
I'm not saying that, like I said,
that there's people who are raised in a family that call themselves Jews,
they have no idea, they have no idea what they're teaching, maybe.
There are some like that.
But I tell you what, people that believe that, that feel they're evil, they're wicked.
They're wicked, and by no means am I going to pray for them.
Am I? Like the Bible says, he said that the curse,
we will be cursed if we're praying for these people.
Do you want to be cursed?
Do you want to pray for the enemies of God?
Do you want to do that?
The Bible tells us not to.
Look at Mark 3, just in case you're wondering about that.
What are they really, are these people really, really, really, are they reprobates?
You know, they've just been taught, they just think that Jesus wasn't the son of God.
Whoa. No. Verse 28.
Verily I say unto you, all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons and men of blasphemies,
wherewithsoever they shall blaspheme.
And many people blaspheme, don't they?
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness,
but is in danger of eternal damnation because they said he had an unclean spirit,
is what they said of Jesus.
So we're meant to believe that these reprobates are the chosen people,
that we should bless them, pray for them, worship before their feet.
Maybe, and I'll tell you what, I've seen that.
I've seen that with some of these IFB guys who literally go to Israel
and they're down there, you know, worshipping them.
It's nuts and it's so against what the Bible teaches.
Look at Revelation 3, 9.
Who should be worshipping before whose feet?
Revelation chapter 3 and verse 9 reads,
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan,
which say they are Jews and are not.
Do these people say they are Jews?
Does the Bible say they are Jews or does it say they're not?
It says they're not. He is not a Jew, which is one outwardly which is in effect.
So these people, the synagogue of Satan, which say they're Jews or not,
they're the synagogue of Satan, but do lie.
Behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet
and to know that I am lovely.
That's where the worship is going to happen,
that's where it should be happening, that's where it will be happening.
But these people that want to bow down to them,
what a bunch of compromise, what a bunch of Bible denying,
just absolute idiots at the least.
Heretics, and I think a lot of them it's worse.
I think a lot of it is wicked and it's trying to push this on Christians,
trying to push this across Bible-believing churches.
Have a look at Psalm 139, because some would say,
doesn't the Bible tell us to love them anyhow?
Should we just love these people? Should we just love everyone?
You know, Jesus is love. Jesus' love is sort of...
We should just love them.
Yeah, look, we want to reach everyone we can with the Gospel,
and you know what?
Churches like ours, we go and knock every door.
Someone young there hasn't got so into this reprobate religion.
There are people that we can reach, and we try and reach everyone.
And I was talking to Brother John about this yesterday,
and he made a good point, which was,
if these people, these old IFB types who are just, you know,
the Jews are so great, if they actually went out and did so with it,
they actually went out and knocked doors of every neighbourhood.
I tell you what, they'd soon change their mind, wouldn't they?
They'd soon realise the hatred the majority of these people have.
When they're full on, when there's no doubt,
when they're in the curly whirlies and the funny hats and everything else,
and they're really observing and following their wicked religion,
these people have nothing but hatred for us.
And they are literally, they're spitting when they talk to you.
They despise the Lord Jesus Christ.
And there's quite a lot around here, I know Brother John's dealt with this a lot,
to the point where he's been close to having people swinging at him
for daring to preach the Gospel.
That's not someone who just rejects, that's someone who hates.
They hate God.
And like I say, we at least got out, and amongst churches like us,
we've probably got more Jews saved than any of these so-called Jew worshippers
that don't go out and preach the Gospel.
We've got more people that call themselves Jews
that haven't got so far down this false religion.
But they're not.
And on the opposite end, you're John Hagees, they're damning them on the helm
because they believe that they're somehow just going to go to heaven
because of some sort of weird genealogy they don't even have
because they all come from converts.
Converts to Judaism.
Wicked. Wicked.
Okay, but Psalm 139 and verse 19.
From verse 19.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God, depart for me therefore, ye bloody men,
for they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee?
And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
I hate them with perfect hatred, I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me and know my thoughts,
and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
So have you just said there that does not he hate them that hates God?
He's then saying, like, try me.
How many of you would say, God, try my heart?
You know what, you probably wouldn't, would you?
Unless you're having a really good day and you're like, man, I'm really good today.
You know, those thoughts of foolishness,
I'm really making sure that they're coming into my head today.
Maybe then you might ask God to try you.
But here he's not going, oh, I'm not sure if that's what he knows.
He's saying, try my heart.
You know, that's it.
He said, try me and know my thoughts.
And you know what, that hatred, that hatred for those that hate God,
it's not that we're some, what the world would call these terrible anti-Semitic Christians
that dare to preach the Bible, dare to believe the word of God.
No.
You know what, we hate, I hate every false way, I hate every false religion.
I hate the people propagating it, I hate the leaders of it, I hate those reprobates.
It is no surprise the majority of them are perverts, paedophiles.
It is wicked.
And it's not just those who call themselves Jewish, it's a whole lot.
But I tell you what, that religion in particular, even when you're not preaching it
and you're not up there as a rabbi or whatever else,
if you're believing, you're believing that Jesus Christ had a devil, you're saying,
you're saying that that's coming out of your mouth, you're reprobating.
And that's your God, you're far God.
And Psalm 139 applies.
Second Chronicles 92, don't turn back there, but remember,
shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the Lord?
Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.
Do you know how many churches across the states
send money to Israel, to that wicked, wicked state of Israel,
to that racist state of Israel?
Do you know how many send money out there?
Just throw money at them to bomb, bomb Palestinian children who throw stones.
All these atrocities are being funded by these people.
It is wicked, it's wicked.
And one of the fruits of it, one of the rotten fruits of Zionism is racism.
Racism against the Palestinians.
Racism against anyone that's not Jewish.
And like I said, when you start accepting that,
you start buying into this sort of, oh yeah, one group's more special than everyone else,
and the rest of it, where does that end up?
Where does that end up?
You know, at least you see a lot of Calvinism type stuff with that, don't you?
And they've just been...
Well, that's what they were meant to be.
That people could come in and get saved through that, through seeing that light.
Okay, so the rotten fruits of Zionism, racism.
Number two, a love of God haters.
A love of God haters, and when you're blessing that,
when you're sending your money, when you're praying for them,
your loving knows that hate God.
And that is wicked.
And God said, therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.
Number three, the rotten fruits of Zionism.
Number three is a weakening of the Gospel, a weakening of the Gospel message.
Okay, look, go back to our text Galatians 3 and verse 26.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Okay, so it's faith in Christ Jesus that makes us the children of God,
not some supposed bloodline that no one can prove and is allowed nonsense.
Okay, faith that he died, was buried, rose again.
That's the faith, faith in the Gospel.
Okay, have a look at Romans 4.
Go over to Romans 4 and verse 11.
Romans 4, 11.
And he received the sign of circumcision, a sin of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised,
that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised,
that righteousness might be accuted unto them also.
And the father of circumcision, to them who are not of the circumcision only,
but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had being yet circumcised.
For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law,
but through the righteousness of faith.
For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void and the promises made of none effect.
They make faith void.
They make the promises of God of none effect through their leader so that they're just automatically going to either,
like I said, where you are on the scale, automatically saved or automatically going to get saved
because God's not done with the Jews yet, God's not done with Israel yet.
How dare they? How dare they?
Like I said, how dare they, in verse 14, make faith void and the promises of none effect.
How dare they?
And no wonder, no wonder all these people believe different gospels, don't they?
They believe in a different gospel in different times, different dispensations,
all love about the different dispensations, like that dispensation of grace we're in now.
Of course they do, because they're believing this rubbish and they believe that there's different ways of salvation.
And let's be honest, how many of these churches believe that you've got to repent of your sins to be saved?
One of them.
Are there any that don't now?
Uncountable.
It's unbelievable, isn't it? How many of them believe a different gospel anyway?
And they're preaching this stuff.
There's only ever been one and there only ever will be one way of salvation.
And that's what the Bible teaches.
And again, how much a Calvinism is in with this?
Well, of course. Of course it's all about elect people and all about, you know, certain times
and, you know, somehow you just can't resist.
If you're a Jew, you're going to get saved in the end.
What about whosoever believe in?
Whosoever believe in.
1 Timothy, chapter 1.
And verse 4.
The Bible says,
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith.
So do.
It's in faith, the godly edifying.
That's where it all comes from, the faith.
It's fables.
Fables about these people that claim to be of a certain line.
Endless genealogies.
And they do, they minister questions, they should minister questions.
That's all they do.
How does that even work?
How can you claim some right based on some bloodline you don't even know at what point?
How much Jew does it need to be a Jew?
Is it half, is it a quarter, is it an eighth, the sixteenth?
Keep going, keep going.
It's ridiculous.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
And they can't even prove it.
They can't even prove it.
So these fables and endless genealogies or the rotten fruits of Zionism, the racism, love of God haters, a weakening of the Gospel.
And have a look at Romans 11.
We'll just finish up with Romans 11.
Romans 11, verse 1.
Romans 11, verse 2.
Even so, then, at this present time, also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Paul was of the tribe of Benjamin.
Like Paul was, there is a remnant.
There is a remnant amongst all people, aren't there?
And the remnant is by the election of grace.
It's about grace.
It's about something given through faith.
But the remnant aren't wearing little hats, banging their heads against walls, bowing their knee to the image of Baal or Remphan or whatever it is they're doing.
They're not the remnant.
The remnant are people who have put their faith in Jesus Christ.
If they put their faith in Christ, you would hope they wouldn't be doing any of that nonsense.
Now we want to give the Gospel to everyone, don't we?
We want to go out and give the Gospel to everyone.
But no one people, no one group of people is more important than anyone else.
No one so-called race or anything else.
We want to get the Gospel out and that's what this church will do.
But that wicked heresy will never be preached from here.
Praise God that there's at least some people, some people in this country that understand this.
Praise God for his Word.
And with that, let's pray.
Heavenly Father, we thank you, thank you for your Word.
Thank you that you've made it so clear that we, we have inherited those promises.
That the promises are for us through faith.
Not by anything we've done, not by any sort of race or bloodline that makes us any more important than anyone else.
Just through accepting the free gift of salvation offered to us.
Through belief in your Son Jesus Christ.
We thank you that it's so simple and we thank you that you've made it so clear and simple.
Who we are, who the Jews that are inwardly in the heart are.
And who those who say they're Jews and are not are.
And we thank you for that.
Help us to just with that, to make sure that we don't get lured into some of those rotten fruits of Zionism.
Help us to go out and just be a shining light to everyone.
To show that love to everyone.
To everyone we can, except for those that hate you.
In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
