Wonderful singing. Let's end our service with a word of prayer. Dear God, Heavenly Father, how is you? Thank you so much again, Lord God, for allowing us to be in your house. We thank you so much for loving us, Lord God, for sending your son Jesus Christ on the cross. And Lord, now that we have salvation free and fully paid for, Lord God, by your son, we can enter into heaven, Lord God, because you loved us first. And I do pray, Lord God, that you please just bless every aspect of the service. Please bless the preaching of your word most of all. I pray that you please just be with pastor as he preaches your word. I pray that you please help him and fill him with your Holy Spirit. I also do pray that you please just be with us in the congregation that you would please help us to be attentive all ears, Lord God, and open hearts, Lord God, that we may receive your word with gladness. And I pray that we would leave here changed because of your word being preached unto us, Lord. I pray now these things in Jesus' name, Amen. You may be seated. Song number five, When I survey the wondrous cross. Song number five there in your hymnals is our second song. Song number five, When I survey the wondrous cross. Sing it on that first. When I survey the wondrous cross on which the prince of glory died, my riches gave, I count the cross. Then pour content upon my pride. For it is more than I should boast. Save in the death of Christ my God. All loving things that journey holds, I sacrifice them to his blood. Sleep from his head, his hands sorrow and the glory go down. Dare such love and sorrow be for thoughts composed so rich a crown. A crown of nature mine. That for a present heart is all. Love so amazing divine. My heart my heart. All right, great singing. Thank you so much for being here this morning. Welcome to First Works Baptist Church. Just a few announcements before we sing our next song, which will be song number 90 if you want to get that ready in your song books. Jesus Lover of My Soul, song number 90 in your song books. If you do not get a bulletin, go in and raise your hand and one of the ushers can get one for you. There's a few announcements on there. Of course, our services are as follow. Sunday morning is at 10 30. Sunday evening is at 5 p.m. And then we have a Thursday night Bible study at 7 o'clock. We are currently studying the book of Ecclesiastes on Thursday nights. So I want to encourage you to be here for that. And then you see the soul winning times and teams, the list of expecting mothers and the important reminders. Please make sure that you are supervising your children in the building. No children should be in the mother baby room alone without their parents. And men, if you are taking care of your kids, if you're, you know, kind of taking them out of the service to distract them for a little bit, make sure you don't use the mother baby room. You can use the fellowship hall that you can utilize there. And there's speakers as well as a screen in that room so you can use. And then some of the upcoming church events. Today after the service will be my wife's baby shower sponsored by Miss Ashley. And so if you have any questions about that, you can see my wife for more details. Or not my wife. See Miss Ashley for more details. My wife just knows that she's having a baby shower. On Friday, May 28th, we're going to have a men's prayer meeting. And I haven't asked them, can we have it at your house? You good with that? Alright. Put him on the spot. That way he can't say no. He'll probably tell me no afterwards though. Friday, May 28th, and that'll be at 6 o'clock. We typically will have dinner for everyone who comes and then we'll pray together, fellowship a little bit. So that'll be on the 28th. Sunday, June 6th, we have the June birthday breakfast in honor of everyone whose birthday is in June. Sunday, June 20th is the Father's Day service. And we'll have a gift for all the dads on that day. And so bring your fathers, bring someone's dad on that day so we can honor them. The service will be geared towards dads. And so looking forward to that. Sunday, June, July 4th is the July birthday breakfast. And we're also going to have something special for the 4th of July as well after the service. Quiet time resumes from 3 p.m. to 4 15 in the main auditorium and mother baby room. No food or drink allowed in the main auditorium except for water and coffee.

Ah Deuteronomy 4 Bible reads Now therefore hearken O Israel unto the statutes and unto the judgments which I teach you them that you may live and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you shall not add unto the word which I command you neither shall you diminish ought from it you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal Peor for all the men that follow Baal Peor the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you but ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day behold I have taught you statutes and judgments even as the Lord my God commanded me that you should do so in the land with you go to possess it keep therefore and do them but this is your wisdom and your understanding in the side of the nations we shall hear all these statutes and say surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people for what nation is there so great breath God so nigh unto them as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for what nation is there so great which has statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law which I set before you this day only take heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life but teach them my sons and my sons sons especially the day that that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb when the Lord said unto me gather me the people together and I'll make them hear my words that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth and that they may teach their children and ye came near and stood under the mountain and mountain burned with fire into the midst of heaven with darkness clouds and thick darkness the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire you heard the voice of the words but saw no similitude only he heard a voice and he declared unto you his covenant which he commanded you to perform even ten commandments and he wrote them upon two tables of stone the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments that you might do them in the land with you go over to possess it take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves for you saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in horror but in the midst of the fire lest ye corrupt yourselves and make you a graven image similitude of any figure likeness of male or female the likeness of any beast that is on the earth the likeness of any winged fowl that flyeth in the air the likeness of anything that creepeth on the ground the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth lest I lift up thine eyes unto heaven and when thou seest the Sun and the moon and the stars even all the hosts of heaven should it be driven to worship them and serve them which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all the nations under the whole heaven but the Lord hath taken you brought you forth out of the iron furnace even out of Egypt to be unto him a people of inheritance as ye are this day furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes and swear that I should not go over Jordan that I should not go in unto that good land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance but I must die in this land I must not go over Jordan but ye shall go over and possess that good land take heed unto yourselves lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which he made with you and make you a graven image or the likeness of anything which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee the Lord thy God is a consuming fire even a jealous God when thou shalt beget children and children's children and you and you shall have remained long in the land and shall corrupt yourselves and make a graven image of likeness of anything and shall do evil on the side of the Lord thy God and broke him to anger I call heaven earth to witness against you this day you shall soon utterly perish from off the land where until you go over Jordan to possess it you shall not prolong your days upon it but shall utterly be destroyed and the Lord shall scatter you among the nations and you shall be left few in number among the heathen whether the Lord shall lead you and there you shall serve gods the work of men's hands wooden stone which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell but if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God thou shalt find him if thou seek him with all thy heart with all thy soul when art in tribulation and all these things that come upon thee even in the latter days if thou turn to the Lord thy God and shalt be obedient unto his voice the Lord for the Lord thy God is a merciful God you will not forsake thee neither destroy thee nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which you swear unto them for ask now of the days that are past which before thee since it's the day that God created man upon the earth and asked from the one side of heaven unto the other whether there have been any such thing as this great thing is or hath been heard like it did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of thought of the fuck speaking out of the midst of the fire as thou hast heard and live or I've gotta say to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation by temptations by signs and by wonders by war and by a mighty hand by a stretched out arm and by great terrors according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes unto thee it was showed that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God there was none else beside him out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice that he might instruct thee and upon earth he showed thee his great fire now heardest his words out of the midst of the fire because he loved thy fathers therefore he chose their seed after them and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt to drive out nations from before the greater and mightier than thou are to bring thee in to give thee their land for an inheritance as it is this day know therefore this day and can sit and consider it in thine heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above and upon the earth beneath there is none else I shall keep that for his statutes and his commandments which I command thee this day that may go well with thee and with thy children after thee that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth which Lord thy God giveth thee forever then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the Sun rising that the Slayer might flee thither we should kill his neighbor unawares and hated him not in times past and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live namely these are in the wilderness in the plain country of the Reubenites and Ramoth and Gilead of the Gadites and Golan and Bashan of the Manassehites and this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel these are the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which Moses spake under the children of Israel after they came forth out of Egypt on this side Jordan in the valley over against Beth Peor the land of Sihon king of the Amorites who dwelt at Heshbon who Moses and the children of Israel smote after they were come forth out of Egypt they possessed his land in the land of Og king of Bashan two kings of the Amorites which were on this side Jordan toward the Sun rising from Aroer which is by the bank of the river Arnon even to Mount Sihon which is Hermon and all the plain on this side Jordan eastward even unto the sea of the plain under the springs of Pisgah let's pray dear Lord God just thank you for your word thank you for this opportunity to gather to hear priests just ask that you would be with our pastor now please just fill me with your spirit that he would preach over boldly to us and pray that the congregation would be edified in Jesus name we pray amen amen all right we are in Deuteronomy chapter number four and look down at your Bibles at verse 26 it says I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over Jordan to possess it you shall not prolong your days upon it but shall utterly be destroyed and the Lord shall scatter you among the nations you shall be left few in number among the heathen whither the Lord shall lead you and there shall you serve gods and the work of men's hands wood and stone which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell but if from thence thou shall seek the Lord thy God thou shalt find him if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul and what I want to preach on this morning is the subject of the Israeli occupation the Israeli occupation now the reason I'm preaching this is because of the recent events that have unfolded in the Middle East and as we know there's been an ongoing war between Israel and Palestine over the occupancy of the land there and recently we saw that Israel sought to basically evict six Palestinian families as well as invade what the Palestinians were referred to as a holy place of the Palestinians which resulted in war and violence and of course the casualties of innocent people now this isn't anything new okay Israel has had the agenda to expel the Palestinians out of Palestine since the early 1900s and has really succeeded in that conquest now the second reason I'm preaching this is because more often than not the vast majority of Christians today are often on the wrong side of the issue okay when it comes to this specific topic now let me just start off by saying this is that I'm not saying that we're for Islam or the Quran we obviously understand as Bible believing Christians that Islam and the Quran are wicked they're completely anti God but here's the thing we should inside with Israel because the number one adversary of the Israelites are not the Palestinians the number one adversary of the Israelites is God himself and I'm gonna prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt this morning and look a lot of people they'll listen to a sermon like this and they'll get offended and they'll say hey you know I don't know if this is right I don't know if this is actually biblical but the reason for that is because Christians have been blinded by this ideology known as Zionism today okay and people want to claim that when you know when I when they hear something like this Oh pastor me he is just anti-semitic that's what they'll say and many have said that already they say oh he's just anti-semitic but here's the thing I have some many people in my church okay there's some many people in our church I'm not anti-semitic I'm actually anti Zionist now go to Hebrews chapter 3 if you would Hebrews chapter number 3 hold your place there in Deuteronomy chapter 4 why am I against Zionism well first of all let me define Zionism for you Zionism is not an ideology that is founded on the Bible the Bible does not teach or declare or show any form of Zionism whatsoever and in fact Zionism is simply a political movement that seeks to re-establish develop and protect a group of people that actually hate the Lord Jesus Christ that's what Zionism is okay this is not a movement that is based on the Bible but yet people who are pro-israel want to claim that these principles are actually founded upon biblical scriptures which is completely false okay the reason people believe this is because Zionism has infiltrated political and Christian groups throughout the years and let me explain something to you okay Zionism is simply the devil's alternative for Jesus Christ okay you said well what do you mean by that well Zionism's agenda is to get Israel back into the land right that is the main purpose of Zionism is to get them back into the land give them that power give them that authority hand over that land to them and who's the only one who's actually sanctioned to do something like that it's God right God is the only one who can bring back Israel back into the land the nation of Israel back into the land via believing on the Lord Jesus Christ okay and so what we have here is Zionism seeking to be an alternative to that and say well you don't have to believe on Jesus Christ to get back into the land we'll just create a political movement that states that you deserve that land without Jesus without believing on the Lord Jesus Christ okay so is our Zionism accomplishes for Israel will only Jesus Christ is supposed to accomplish I know that's offensive to a lot of people out there but that's fact okay and in fact look at Hebrews chapter 3 verse 17 it says but with whom was he referring to God grieved with 40 years so we're talking about someone that God is grieved with he's angry with he's upset at was it not with them that had sin whose carcasses fell in the wilderness and to whom swear he that they should not enter into his rest but to them that what believe not so we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief the common thing the common theme that we see throughout the Old Testament is that Israel was not allowed to enter into the promised land that God had promised to Abraham because of their unbelief okay he didn't make an exception he didn't say well you're still my people and you know I still love you you're the apple of my eye therefore come and take your land no in fact he said you need to obey me you need to believe on me and because you don't believe you're not going to enter into that rest or enter into the land how did Zionism infiltrate political and Christian groups well from a political standpoint as I mentioned Zionism isn't founded upon the Bible the founder of Zionism is a man by the name of Theodore Herzl okay who basically asserted that the only way to protect the Jewish people was for them or for them to flee from Europe and have a state of their own and this was accomplished after World War one with the destruction of the Ottoman Empire Belfort declared gave a declaration expressing British policy stating to Lord Rothschild 1917 that hey you know since the Ottoman Empire the Turkish Empire has been destroyed let's use this as an opportunity for Israel to regain that land once again and of course this idea was implemented in 1947 with World War two and the so-called Holocaust and yes I said so-called Holocaust okay which was a springboard used to galvanize the world into believing that the Jews needed a state it caused everyone to empathize with the Israel according to the flesh right to think that well they deserve this land because they're being persecuted throughout all of Europe throughout all the world and therefore they need this and then in 1947 you have the UN declaring two states Palestine as well as Israel but only Israel actually got that end of the bargain okay the Palestinians did not and of course 1948 Israel is declared as a nation once again now none of these events that I just mentioned here with Belfort and the Rothschild and Theodore Herzl none of these events or people were endeavors that were encouraged by God or the Bible you can't look at these events that took place from 1917 up until 1948 where Israel was established and say well we can find that in the Bible let me point you to a specific scripture in the Bible the sanctions what took place throughout these years it's not gonna happen but it can happen through Zionism because remember Zionism is an alternative to Jesus Christ it's alternative to the Bible it's an alternative ideology to the doctrine found in the Word of God but let me just say this is that even prior to this political movement to foment the ideology of Zionism in the world there was a movement a spiritual movement prior to this to stimulate the minds of Christians to embrace Zionism okay because all this is taking place during the 1900s well prior to that the 1800s you have a man by the name of John Nelson Darby who is considered to be the father of dispensationalism okay you have in the early 1900s CI Schofield and others infiltrating Christian churches Darby created his own Bible that had zionistic ideologies already embedded into its theology I mean he's changing words left and right in order to fit Zionism and be pro-israel they you know teaching the pre-tribulation rapture well here's the thing is that the vast majority of Christians throughout history have always rejected the Jews as being God's chosen people they've always never adhered to a pre-tribulation rapture they've always rejected any false doctrine even linked to an ideology of dispensationalism and so a lot of people thought well we're not gonna listen to this this guy's from the Plymouth Brethren he's not a Christian this guy's nuts so he wasn't really that successful at being able to infiltrate churches via this false doctrine known as Zionism but here's the thing CI Schofield was very successful and CI Schofield created a reference Bible with you know zionistic ideologies embedded into the commentary and he placed that within the King James Bible is it because he loved the King James Bible is it because he believed it was the Word of God no because he knew that it was the most widely used Bible of Christians of Bible believing fundamentalists and therefore he wanted to use that because he knew it was gonna be in the hands of many Christians throughout the country so they took this Bible to see the Schofield reference Bible they dispersed it amongst pastors and preachers and Bible colleges and what's the result of that well the result is that now you have Bible believing fundamental Baptist Christians and full support of Jews according to the flesh pervading Palestine and even setting up military garrisons and oppressing okay and killing innocent men women and children you know what's sad about this is that you have Bible believing safe people who are completely for Israel doing everything that they've done over so far even within the last couple of months seeking to justify the murder of innocent men women and children folks this is wicked as hell this ideology has no place in Christian churches it cannot be founded upon the Bible Zionism is anti God it's anti Christ is what it is okay now ask yourself this you know but you don't have to answer this is a rhetorical question I have to say that because sometimes people actually answer is it right for the Israelis to occupy Palestine according to the Bible I go ahead answer that no it's not so what really why do Christians believe that they should you know if you can't really find it in the Bible if it's not clearly spelled out in the Word of God if it's not stated in the Word of God if Zionism the ideologies thereof are not found in the Bible why do Christians hold to this so strongly okay well I'll tell you why it's because of the fact that dispensationalism and Zionism has completely transformed the mind of fundamental Baptist Christians into thinking well it is in the Bible and they'll take verses completely out of context you know making up their own doctrines etc let me give you the reasons why Christians believe Jews deserve the Holy Land now let me make myself very clear is that I don't hate Jews at all okay I don't hate them I don't despise Jews now here's the thing the Jews they hate Jesus the Jews that they completely despise them and and the ones who adhere to the Talmud and they love the Talmud they believe that Jesus is burning in hell in his own escriment they call Jesus a fool they call him Baal and Beelzebub they call him all manner of evil they despise him they spit on the ground every time his name is mentioned yeah I hate those people because do not I hate them all or they hate thee that's what David said I hate them with perfect hatred but you know I'm sure there's Jews out there that are completely just duped by this as well I'm sure there's Jews out there that are there that are capable of being saved as well because they can believe still okay that's still possible so I'm not anti-semitic don't call me anti-semitic call me anti-zionist are you anti-israel yeah I'm anti-israel according to the flesh reason number one why Christians believe Jews deserve the Holy Land well it was given to them by God right haven't you heard that Jews belong in Israel because you know it was given to the God gave him that land go to Hebrew chapter 11 if you would Hebrew chapter 11 now I mentioned John Nelson Darby the father of dispensationalism causing many to espouse this ideology of Zionism C.I. Schofield really propagating that and fomenting that to fundamental Christian churches but the the main culprit for independent fundamental Baptist was a man by the name of Peter Wuckman and he is a hyper dispensationalist he was a heretic he believed all kinds of weird doctrines but he not only espoused Zionism and dispensationalism he taught it fervently he stood by it and was able to infiltrate a lot of churches via his false doctrine now let me ask you this you know they often say this well the number one reason is this because God gave him that land well who did he give it to we give it to Abraham right he gave the land to Abraham you know they made the promises were made to Abraham and his seed well look at Hebrew chapter 11 and verse 15 because a lot of times when people read the Bible they take it you know they take the Old Testament principles as being as literal as possible right and although there's some times that that is the case but other times it's not look at Hebrews 11 15 and truly if they have been mindful of that country from whence they came out they might have had opportunity to return but now they desire a better country now who's they referring to Abraham Isaac and Jacob to which the promises were made of the promised land but you know what Abraham Isaac and Jacob all had the biblical spiritual sense to know that that physical land was simply symbolic of a better country where is that that is it says and heavenly wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God for he hath prepared for them a city and it's not in Israel it's in heaven so before you start spouting off and saying well God gave that promise to Abraham God gave that promise to his descendants God gave that promise to Abraham Isaac and Jacob to own that land you might want to reference Abraham to see if that's true because what we see is Abraham actually saying that he sought for a better country that is in heavenly okay now keep in mind what we read in Deuteronomy chapter 4 and verse 27 says the Lord shall scatter you among the nations and you shall be left and few in number among the heathen whethersoever the Lord lead you let me just give you an overview of the Israeli occupation in the Bible right because we can simply look at the history of Israel throughout the Bible and see if God just allowed them to you know inherit that promised land even though they serve false gods even though they reject God even though they reject the Lord Jesus Christ because that's exactly what took place in 1948 we don't see a group of people returning to Israel known as the Jews because they believed on the Lord Jesus Christ there's not like a revival taking place in Israel right now of Jews who believe on Jesus right but somehow that's the exception to every other example that we see in the Old Testament folks God doesn't change he's the same yesterday today and forever more so the same way that he has dealt with people in the Old Testament is the same exact way that he's dealing with us today it's the same exact way that he's dealing with the Jews today folks now let me give you an overview of the Israeli occupation in the Old Testament of course we understand that God called Israel out of Egypt by the being led by the hand of Moses they were in the wilderness for 40 years they went into the promised land and then you have the system of the judges now the system of the judges was a very dark time for the nation of Israel due to the fact that they were caught in this vicious cycle of serving God forsaken God serving false gods being oppressed being given over to a foreign nation to oppress them for years and decades and then they would repent get right with God and that cycle would continue okay now during this time they're under the system of a theocracy in other words God is their king he's the one who's ruling over them he's the sovereign over a physical people in the land Israel then wanted a want to be like every other nation they wanted a physical king and therefore Saul was ordained to take that position Saul got away from God David took over after him David established Israel and established Jerusalem as being the the capital of Israel after him you have Solomon and Solomon's sons unfortunately divided Solomon's son divided Israel ten kingdoms to the north two kingdoms to the south those ten kingdoms that were in the north apostatized they set up their own alternative religion aside from God they forsook God and what did God do he allowed them to be taken captive by the Assyrian army and go into captivity because of the rejection of God so he didn't look at those ten tribes and say well you know you guys you know you're still Israel I know you're you're in the groves and you're worshiping false gods and you you've completely rejected me I know you've apostatized but let me just let you stay in the land no he ordained he ordained the Assyrians to come and take them captive and oppress them and scatter them abroad because of the rejection of God it's what we see in the book of Judges it's what we see in the time of of Solomon's son they get right with God okay and of course we know that Solomon's the one who builds the temple prior to that but then the temple in Jerusalem is destroyed why is it destroyed because God allowed it to be destroyed because the rejection of God and what happens who is it destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar and the nation of Babylon Babylon comes in completely destroys Jerusalem takes them captive and God says you shall be gone for 70 years to give the land rest why because they're not adhering to God in his word they're worshiping false gods read the book of Jeremiah where all that is completely is highlighted to its fullest extent or we see God explaining in the book of Jeremiah why he's allowing the Babylonians to come and just completely destroy them it's because they forsook God that's why for 70 years they're taken into captivity okay well shortly thereafter people start getting right with God they want to seek after the Lord and God ordains King Cyrus of Persia he puts it in his heart to rebuild the temple and that's where we find the first wave of Jewish exiles coming back to Jerusalem with the permission of course of King Cyrus later on we see that the Daniel prophesied in Daniel chapter 11 the destruction of the temple once again because of the rejection of God and it was destroyed by a man by the name of Antiochus Epiphanes okay now we see this okay these are clearly laid out in the Old Testament of moments when Israel were serving God they were for the Lord but then a generation rises up that rejects God and that rejection resulted in their destruction of them their people Jerusalem they're taken into captivity they're taken into they're exiled out of their land because God told him that he would do that in the book of Deuteronomy if that's what they did and we see that happening over and over again in the Old Testament now what is the straw that broke the camel's back okay because look they were severely punished in the Old Testament various times I mean when he's sending the Babylonians the Assyrians and Tychus Epiphanes I mean they're going in there and just completely decimating Israel okay which you look at them you say well that's a severe punishment but let me say this it's not as severe as what we're actually going to look at right now because God is pleading with his people in the Old Testament and the ultimate plea comes when Jesus Christ is manifest in the flesh wouldn't you say that's like his ultimate plea when the Word of God is made flesh he dwells a among them they see him they see them with their own eyes the Bible calls it the time of their visitation when the Word of God when God is made manifest in the flesh through Jesus Christ right the Word of God comes to this world to die on the cross and he sets up a ministry to witness to the lost sheep of the House of Israel right to the Jew first and also to the Greek this doesn't mean that he didn't care for Gentiles this doesn't mean that he didn't care for those who were outside of the nation of Israel but he was prioritizing Israel because of the fact that unto them were committed the oracles of God the promises were given to them through Abraham right and so God came Jesus Christ came to this earth and this is the straw that broke the camel's back you say well what happened then what do you think happened they rejected him no they didn't folks he came into his own and his own received him not okay he preached the Word of God unto them for three and a half years and they completely rejected him it was at that point at the end of his ministry where he was crucified the gospel went out to different nations Gentiles began to believe on him and the kingdom of God was taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof that's what the Bible says but this is the straw that breaks the camel's back I mean it's one thing when God is sending prophets to you to tell you get right with God it's another thing when the boss comes himself right it's one thing when the supervisor comes to talk to you right it's one thing when the supervisor comes and says you're not doing your job hey the boss is upset you're not doing your job you need to correct this it's another thing when the boss actually comes out of his office and comes talk to you personally and you know what Jesus Christ is the boss because he's the Lord Jesus Christ who came to this world who preached the Word of God unto them and what do they do they not only rejected Jesus Christ they murdered him they crucified him on the cross and to add insult to injury what do they say they say his blood be on us and on our children so the nation of Israel is a cursed nation of God but it was a curse that they fully embraced themselves because they said his blood be on us and on our children now prior to this of course Jesus Christ is omniscient because he's God he knows everything he knew that this was going to happen he had the foreknowledge of the rejection that he was gonna face and because of this knowledge he prophesied of what was gonna happen because of that he didn't say well I know you guys rejected us and times past you rejected my father you rejected me you rejected God and we let you go into captivity but we're in the New Testament so it's a little different now okay we're gonna let you off the hook this time 1948 is right around the corner and we'll work things out somehow all Israel shall be saved somehow okay is that what he said no and in fact he prophesied of the coming destruction that was gonna take place in 70 AD which is when Emperor Titus came in completely destroyed the temple and scattered the Jews all over the world okay and in fact this is prophesied in Luke chapter 21 which is a passage that is parallel to Matthew 24 mark 13 this literally took place in 70 AD but it's gonna take place again because it's a dual prophecy it's gonna take place also in the end times and it says in Luke 21 verse 24 and they shall fall by the edge of the sword and shall be led away what captive into all nations and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled sounds like Jesus Christ is a little anti-Semitic no he's just anti Israel according to the flesh who rejected him that's what it is so he told him he said this is what's gonna happen if you reject me I'm gonna allow you to be taken captive and to all nations because you rejected Jesus Christ now why is that punishment far more severe than what we see in the Old Testament well because of the fact that in the Old Testament they knew him as the Lord they knew him as God but then his name was made manifest in the New Testament as Jesus Christ I mean he was right there and to whomsoever much is given of him shall be much required the punishment shall be some so much more severe go back to Deuteronomy chapter 4 look down at your Bibles in verse 26 and look this isn't something the Jews and Israel cannot look at this and say I can't believe this happened to us why is this why why why why why why no God warned him of this thousands of years prior he warned every generation thousands of years prior that this would happen verse 26 is I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day okay look he said I'm calling heaven and earth to witness against you just so just so no one claims that I never said this before you know cuz God is omniscient so he knew there's gonna be some Christians out there God didn't say that oh hold on a second God called heaven and earth to witness against them that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it you shall not prolong your days upon it but shall utterly be destroyed and the Lord shall scatter you among the nations now what took place after 70 AD well between 70 AD and 1984 1948 you have a period of 1800 years where the Jews are scattered into all nations being thrown out of those nations as well over a hundred countries am I getting that number correct 109 countries that have removed Israel you have removed Jews from their nation because of what their predatory lending practices and more specifically the rejection of Jesus Christ they didn't have a nation to call their own and you know what it's prophesied right here folks the Lord shall scatter you among the nations and ye shall be left in few in number among be heathen whether the Lord shall lead you and there ye shall serve God's the work of men's hands wood and stone which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell but if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God thou shall find him if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul so he says this I'll scatter you but if you make the decision to seek God and who's God Jesus right there's no name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved that name is Jesus if you don't have Jesus you don't have the father folks no they worship God the father you can't have God the father without Jesus because he specifically said that if you come to him if you want to go to God you got to go to him first right and he told them that he says if you seek me out you believe on me I'll bring you back and people want to claim that 1948 was a fulfillment of that promise but folks they do not believe on the Lord Jesus Christ at all and in fact they add insult to injury and actually hate the Lord Jesus okay go to go to Galatians chapter 3 if you would Galatians chapter 3 I'm gonna reach you from Genesis chapter 12 verse 1 this is a common scripture that Zionist Christians like to use it says in verse number 1 now the Lord had said unto Abraham get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred and from thy father's house unto a land that 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 by the way thee is singular so the blessing is coming upon Abraham and I will bless thee verse 3 says I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that cursed thee and indeed shall all the families of the earth be blessed now this is 100% true because of the fact that we are the families of the earth the Gentiles are the families of the earth and we are blessed because of Abraham because Abraham is the father of faith as they like to call him and we are spiritually descended from Abraham father Abraham had many sons and many sons had father Abraham I am one of them and so are you and not the Jew I'm just kidding and let's just praise the Lord right now people want to say this through time because by the way you know John Elsondarby infiltrated the churches and stated no this is to the physical descendants of Abraham not the spiritual descendants because you can't deny the fact that he's referring to spiritual descendants they want to say no it's to the physical descendants look at Galatians chapter 3 verse 13 because we got to use the New Testament to shed light on the old can't just use the Old Testament you can't just go to Genesis chapter 12 and say there you have it there's our doctrine no you need the New Testament to bring some light upon the old okay the Old Testament the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed revealed through Jesus Christ it says in Galatians 3 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us for it is written curse that is everyone that hangeth on a tree that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Jews is that what it says no might come on the Gentiles through who through Zionism nope through Jesus Christ that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith brethren I speak after the manner of men though I be but a man's covenant yet if it be confirmed no man does annulth or addeth thereto now to Abraham and his seed where the promise is made and by the way in these modern versions it says to Abraham and his descendants it changes the word seed to descendants he says not to Abraham and seed where the promise is made he saith not unto seeds as of many but as of one and to thy seed which is Christ so when we use the New Testament to shed light on Genesis 12 and the promises that are made to Abraham we see that the promise is made to Abraham in the seed and the New Testament clarifies that seed as being Jesus Christ verse 29 and if ye be Christ oh wait there's more and if ye be Christ then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise so technically the promises for us are you saying you deserve the the nation that that physical land no because we like Abraham have the same mentality that we seek for a better country establish upon better promises with a better mediator known as Jesus Christ and so the promise that we see in Genesis chapter 12 is a great promise but hold on a second you need the New Testament to define what that promise is and who it's given to it's not to the physical descendants because we're gonna look at what Jesus said regarding the physical descendants in just a bit spoiler alert John chapter 8 so did God give Abraham the land yeah but it was symbolically representing a better country which is heaven you think God really cares about a piece of dirt in the Middle East folks he owns the cattle on the Thousand Hill he owns all the silver and gold the world belongs to him the fullest or it belongs to him and you know what he doesn't care about that because one day he will actually inherit that entire land when he destroys the Antichrist and his false prophet and the Battle of Armageddon he establishes his millennial reign in Revelation chapter 19 and then you're gonna have the Battle of Gog and Magog thereafter in Revelation chapter 20 the all unbelievers are cast into the lake of fire along with Satan death and hell you have the new heaven the new earth and then the meek shall inherit the earth so he's not concerned with that physical land as of now because he's gonna get it one day anyways reasons why Christians believe Jews deserve the Holy Land God gave it to them well God gave it to Abraham and to his seed and his seed is Christ and if we be Christ then are we Abraham seed and heirs according to the promise go to Romans chapter 2 if you would Romans chapter number 2 reason number 2 why Christians believe Jews deserve the Holy Land well because it's not just a religion it's a nationality and this is a an ideology that was propagated by Theodore Herzl when he created Zionism he said well it's not just a religion it's a nationality and this is why they can you know say things like well this is anti-semitic this is racism because they consider it to be a nationality folks being a Jew is a religion it's adhering to tenants only found in the Talmud not in the Bible okay he said well you know I know a messianic Jew there's no such thing look look up messianic Jew in the Bible you're not gonna find it because once you're in Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile that's what God said he has made both Twain one new man the Bible says there is neither Jew nor Gentile and in fact let me just add to that when you get saved according to the Bible God actually views you as an actual Jew okay a spiritual Jew this sounds so heretical I just I don't know we got to pray for Israel well let's prove it from the Bible look at Romans 2 by the way this is the passage that convinced me right here I read this in 2009 and I still wasn't I didn't believe in replacement theology because I didn't know what it was that that concept was not introduced to me until very later on and but I remember reading this and thinking myself oh wow we're spiritual Jews I mean cuz you just read the book of Romans you see that and it says it planning right there right it says in Romans 2 28 for he is not a Jew which is one outwardly now when it says which is one outwardly what is it talking about it's talking about the flesh okay the yarmulke the jerry curl sideburns God says that's not a Jew 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 and in the spirit not in the letter look what it says here who's praise is not of men but of God now when it says whose praise is not a man but of God what does that mean well to praise something means to acknowledge it right it means to validate right we we praise God because we acknowledge that he's worthy okay and so when we praise something it means we acknowledge it so when it says that the praise is not a man but of God it's saying that God acknowledges inward Jews those who have been circumcised in the heart a synonym for that would be those who are saved he views them as actual Jews according to the Bible I remember when I read this in 2009 I had just gotten saved part two years before and it stood out to me and I remember reading I'm like okay we're spiritual Jews and I was doing visitation with one of my church members and I was young at that time and I remember being in the car with them and looking back obviously he believed in replacement theology or covenant theology and somehow we got in the discussion of Jews or something like that and then he told me he said this he says you know brother Bruce you know we're actual Jews I said yeah spiritual Jews right Romans 2 28 he was like yeah yeah and I was like what's the big deal but I didn't know it was a big deal due to the fact that you know Zionism and dispensationalism the preacher relation rapture all these things were tenants that fundamental Baptists were cleaving to and were willing to fight over and and expel those who didn't believe in that right but clearly we see here that God is saying he is not a Jew and I heard someone say this well yeah yeah but that's spiritual Jew well that's the most important one like but then yeah let's talk about spiritually yeah well spiritually is the most important part God is the spirit hello you know they say it's almost like minimize the importance of the of the truth that's being given here God is saying this is the most important thing because this is what I recognize as being a Jew go to Hebrews 9 excuse me Romans 9 go to Romans 9 now folks if you want a crash course on replacement theology just read the book of Romans a couple times and you'll find that according to their definition Paul is one of the most anti-semitic people there is because the the book of Romans teaches let me just give you a crash course on all the passages that teaches replacement theology okay I'll give you a crash course here you go there it is this whole thing teaches it no folks in the Old Testament God told Moses let me just wipe all these people out I'll make a new nation of you what was he saying saying let me just replace them come on look at look at Romans 9 verse 4 says who are Israelites to whom pertaineth the adoption and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises whose are the fathers and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came who is over all God bless forever amen so look folks you know this is why I tell people we shouldn't hate Jews unto them we're committed to the oracles of God you know Peter James John a lot of the disciples a lot of Christians at that point worse you know nationally known as Jews right let me say this is that Peter never identified himself as just being a Jew he was a Christian he was a believer okay but it says that's concerning the flesh Christ came who is over all God bless forever amen and someone someone said this yeah but Jesus was a Jew haven't you heard that yeah but you know what far more often in the Gospels you have him referring to himself as the son of God and as the son of man more than just saying that he's a Jew why because the emphasis is the fact that he's the son of God and he's also the son of man because he's 100% God and 100% man okay look at verse 6 not as though the Word of God had taken an effect oh here's the kicker for they are not all Israel which are of Israel hmm how do you explain that neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children but in Isaac shall thy seed be called that is they which are the children of the flesh these are not the children of God I mean how many how many ways layers can you cut from this to explain God is saying that those who are Jews according to the flesh Israel according to the flesh the Bible says they're not the children of God that is they which are the children of the flesh these are not the children of God but the children of the promise are counted for the seed the Bible says okay so you want to say well you know being a Jew is not just a religion it's a nationality no it's a religion it's a religion based off of what's referred to as Judaism which is based off of the Talmud which is based off of the Kabbalah which is based off of Satan okay go to John chapter 4 and I hate Judaism and let me say this I hate all religions that teach a false way to heaven but it just so happens that Judaism is one of the most damnable ones because the last time I checked even though I don't agree with Muslims in the Quran the last time I checked Muslims still view Jesus Christ as being a prophet of the Lord they don't esteem him to the level that we do because we know that he is God we know that he's the son of God but at least Islam doesn't go out right and just disrespect Jesus Christ at least they say he's a prophet whereas the Talmud okay that Jewish encyclopedia known as the Talmud hates Jesus Christ claims that he learned black magic okay they blaspheme his name it's the only book that actually blasphemes the Holy Ghost which if I remember correctly that's the way you damn a soul to hell that's anyway that's one of the ways you can make a reprobate right is by blaspheming the Holy Ghost they believe that Jesus Christ is not just burning in hell folks he's burning in hell in his own escrimon they say he deserved to die that he was a fool that his mother was a whore I mean no one wants to talk about those things now do you now here's the funny thing is that Jews they only want to say they believe in the Bible the Torah the Pentateuch which are the first five books in the Old Testament they only want to say that they believe in that when it pertains to them getting the lamb but anything after that they just completely throw the the Pentateuch out and they go with the Talmud and I'll prove it to you I went to when I was out sowing I witnessed to a Jew and he was a Jew by any stretch of the imagination I mean he he wouldn't even talk to me until he put on his little thing on and he gave me a yarmulke to put on because he didn't want to talk to me unless I had it on I didn't put it on I just said current kind of grabbed I was like what am I supposed to do with this he came out and I began witnessing to him giving him the gospel because you know he he's an unsafe person I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt I was giving him the gospel and and and I and he's like well you know we believe in the Old Testament so I started going through all the things in the Old Testament that they don't do you know like the animal sacrifices actual circumcision keeping the Sabbath the actual keeping of the Sabbath and when he was cornered and recognized that he wasn't doing any of those things he said this well you know more important than the Old Testament is the Talmud that's the one that you need to bring oh so you don't really believe in the Bible now do you you only use it when it's convenient for you to claim the land that you want right it's only convenient for you when you want to dupe Christians into thinking that you deserve that land but once everything else comes up oh at that point throw the Bible out bring in the Talmud because that's what really what we adhere to okay because they know Christians know the Bible they don't know the Talmud they don't know the damnable things that are said in the Talmud about Jesus Christ and they would be furious if they found out what it actually says you're in John chapter 4 reason number 3 I need a I need to hurry up here I'm almost out of time why Christians believe Jews deserve the Holy One because they need a place to worship how are they gonna worship the Lord how are they gonna come back to God if they don't have a place of worship this is another ideology that was thrown out there by Theodore Herzl who said well they need a specific place to worship the Lord they're scattered over all the nations they can't do that look at verse 19 of John chapter 4 the woman saith unto him sir I perceive that thou art a prophet our fathers worship in this mountain and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship Jesus saith unto her woman believe me the hour cometh when ye shall neither in this mountain nor at Jerusalem worship the Father ye worship ye know not what we know what we worship for salvation is of the Jews but the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth for the Father seeketh such to worship him God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth what is he saying you don't need a physical land to go worshiping right because we worship God in spirit and in truth now look we worship God in a local New Testament Church which is sanctioned by God but you know we could also worship God in our own homes we could worship God anywhere we go in our cars as we're worshiping the Lord as we're singing unto him we're praying unto him we don't need a specific land to do to execute these things go to John chapter 8 if you would John chapter 8 oh we need a land to be able to worship God here's what they're not telling you is that it's not capital G God it's a different God because folks let me just teach you a principle that the Bible shows okay when you respond to the light that God gives you he gives you more light any person who has come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in this room responded to the light that God initially had given to that individual the reason you even knew of the gospel is because of the fact that you responded to the light God gave you more light you didn't reject the information you didn't reject the truth and eventually brought you to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ this is how it works so there's no one out there in the jungles of Africa what if there's a guy in the jungles of Africa who just wants to seek after God and what about them you know if they die will they go to hell yes they will because if that were a true thing if that was if that really happened and there's some guy in the jungles of Africa who was seeking the God of the Bible God would send a missionary how do you know that because God is faithful and God will give light more light to those who actually do something with the light that God already gives them so for them to say well they're seeking God well really then how come God is not allowing himself to be found of them well maybe it's because of the fact that they're not really seeking the true God of the Bible because the true God of the Bible is not found at the Wailing Wall right isn't that what they're doing gesticulating and just bowing to some wall this did God ever say to do something like that no you know what it is is that they're bowing to that wall because they don't want to bow to the Lord Jesus Christ that's right this is so rude you are so mean I can't even hold a candle to what Jesus Christ actually said and if you think this is rude let's go to John chapter 8 verse 44 this is a statement that Jesus made to the Jews okay don't miss this because I try to preach as hard as I can I try my best guys I do my best to do my homework to study the Bible to lift up my voice like a trumpet to cry out loud and spare not and show the Jews their transgression but nothing can hold a candle to what we're about to read right now and just know this like I'm preaching in front of my church Jesus preached this in front of all his enemies talk about boldness he preached this in front of the Jews who hated him who sought to kill him right verse 44 ye are of your father the devil okay I haven't even said that yet he's the one who said that ye are of your father the devil and the lust of your father will you do he was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him when he speaketh a lie speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it and who is a liar but he did deny that Jesus is the Christ right he is Antichrist to deny the father and son that's the Bible that's what the Bible says so Jesus you know this Jesus that people want to believe in that he's so nice and cuddly long-haired Pantene Pro V he wears a dress and all these things okay if that's what you want to believe that Jesus looks like what look what he said well that's not the Jesus I believe in but the Jesus of the Bible said John 8 44 he says you're of your father the devil why is he saying that he he's basically telling him you worship Satan you worship the devil that's who that's who brought you forth and in fact what did John the Baptist say the Baptist what do you say generation of vipers a viper is a serpent and the serpent is a representation of Satan himself who with warned you to flee from the wrath to come go to Acts chapter 7 Acts chapter 7 I might be a little long-winded this morning but I want to get over I want to get this up this content in talk about the occupation of Israel the Israeli occupation and this false attitude that people have Christians have to say well they should have that land because the Bible says so it does not say it let's look at what the Bible actually says about who the Jews actually worship look at Acts chapter 7 and verse 38 this is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in Mount Sinai with our fathers who received the lively oracles to give unto us to whom our fathers would not obey but thrust from them and in their hearts turn back again into Egypt that's what we're talking about right rejection of God they want to go back to Egypt saying unto Aaron make us gods where are these Jews are this is Israel yeah this is Israel make us gods to go before us for as Moses which brought us out of the land of Egypt we want not what has become of him now this is basically similar to what happened when Jesus Christ first came we want to serve false gods because this Jesus they reject we don't know what's becoming this isn't this is a carpenter son this is someone who's born of fornication that's what they're saying he says in verse 41 and they made a calf in those days and offered sacrifice unto the idol and rejoiced in the works of their own hands then God turned and gave them up to worship the host of heaven by the way when the Bible says he gave them up means he made them a reprobate nation yeah as it is written in the book of the prophets oh ye house of Israel have you offered to be slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of 40 years in the wilderness yay ye took up the tabernacle of God no Moloch and the cross no the star of your God rem fan figures which he made to worship them and I will carry you away beyond Babylon the star of REM fan the star six-pointed star of REM where have I seen that before oh that's right the star of David right which by the way a lot of fundamental Baptist literally have on their platform right which is insane that they literally have a devil-worshipping star of REM fan the tabernacle of Moloch on their platform it's insanity folks Amos chapter 5 verse 24 says this but let judgments run down as waters and righteousness as mighty stream have you offered them to be sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness 40 years old house of Israel you have borne the tabernacle of Moloch and she on your images the star of your God which ye made to yourselves so this is something that took place in the Old Testament they were worshipping REM fan back then yeah but not anymore they're worshipping the God of the Bible well then why are they taking up the star of impact still why is literally the Nate the flag for the nation of Israel is the star of REM fan hello I mean what does that tell you it tells you that they're completely open over the fact that they don't worship the God of the Bible they're worshipping Satan because REM fan is a devil therefore I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus saith the Lord whose name is the God of hosts by the way Rothschild means red star want to throw that out there go to Revelation chapter 2 now look folks if the Jews sought to if they're really looking for the truth all they have to do is turn to Christ and in fact the Bible tells us in second Corinthians chapter 3 but their minds were blinded verse 14 until this day remain at the same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament which veil is then away in Christ but even unto this day when Moses is red the veil is upon their heart that's why we shouldn't you know look at Jewish encyclopedias and commentaries to understand the Bible because they're blind when they read it nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord the veil shall be taken away now the Lord is that spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty you say man this is this is crazy so these these Jews are going to like a synagogue they're not really worshipping God isn't that what they're doing look at Revelation 2 by the way this is Jesus saying this again let me just make that disclaimer real quick this isn't John just coming up with this himself Jesus is addressing the seven churches which are in Asia look at verse 8 and unto the age of the church of Smyrna right these things saith the first and the last which was dead in his life I know thy works and tribulation and poverty but thou art rich and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews and are not but are of the synagogue of Satan ouch he doesn't say the synagogue of God synagogue of the Lord Jesus Christ he didn't say this is my synagogue he says that's the synagogue of Satan that's what he said and in Revelation chapter 2 he also refers to them as Nicolaitans because he never he never calls them Jews he says them which say they're Jews and are not but are the synagogue of Satan but then he talks about the Nicolaitans I believe he's personally referring to the Jews revelation 3 9 says behold I will make them of the synagogue of Satan look Islam doesn't use a synagogue Mormons don't use a synagogue no one in this world uses a synagogue rather than Jews behold I will make them of the synagogue of Satan which say they are Jews and are not but do lie behold I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee why do Christians believe that Jews deserve the Holy Land well go to 1st Thessalonians chapter 2 reason number 4 the last one here is because they're being persecuted they've been persecuted everywhere they go therefore they need that land because they're being persecuted and in order to protect the Jewish people is to help them to flee from from Europe to call state of their own because they're being persecuted well you know what before you help them you should ask this why are they being persecuted right not just say okay they're suffering persecution no why are they being persecuted predatory lending practices and the rejection of Jesus Christ because here's the thing no it's because they're God's chosen people hold on a second yay all that will live godly in what Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution persecution for righteousness sake the Bible says and so if you're suffering a persecution that's not because of Jesus it's not because of righteousness sake for God's sake then you know what it is it's for some other reason that God is not ascribed and said well we need to give them that land think about this folks if if if they're so blessed of God then why were they kicked out of a hundred and nine countries over the span of 1800 years think about that not be and by the way they weren't kicked out because they were preaching the gospel you know my church was blown up and I was practically kicked out of El Monte because of my preaching of God's Word okay they it's not for that reason at all what does the Bible say look at first Thessalonians 2 verse 14 I posted this verse on Instagram and people read and a bunch of people got mad at the unfollowed and stuff and they're just like but you know no one no one really interpreted this scripture for me to tell me what it really means you know why because the scripture interprets itself folks what you love when the Bible is written with such clarity that no one can gainsay what it's saying look what it says in verse 14 for ye brethren became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen even as they have of the Jews look at verse 15 who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and have persecuted us and they please not God they please not God no they're God's chosen people no the Bible says that they don't please God look what it says why I have them and kicked out of 109 countries over the past 1800 years what says here and are contrary to all men that's why so as they're occupying Palestine you know they're they're doing this lawful thing quote unquote of occupying Palestine they've even surpassed that and gone into different borders to conquer more land why because they're contrary to everyone folks they run Hollywood all the pedophile rings and all the prostitution folks NWA came from Jews music all the filth of this world that's where it stems from right there why because they're contrary to all men the Bible says forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved why is God so angry with the Jews because they're trying to forbid Christians from getting Gentiles saved right yeah to fill up look what it says to fill up their sin always for the wrath has come upon them to the uttermost his punishment his wrath upon them goes to the uttermost go to Deuteronomy 28 this is where we're gonna finish off it's a hard pill to swallow for a lot of people but it's good for you it's like a it's like a b12 vitamin popping in just I'm energized right now I can go for like another hour if I want because there's so much the Bible says about this subject look at Deuteronomy 28 verse 14 now I encourage anybody who's listening to this sermon to read Deuteronomy 28 the entire chapter we can't even read the entire because it's so long but it's it's worth just sitting down and reading a few times over you will not be confused at all you'll know exactly who he's talking about right here let's turn to verse 14 he says in verse 14 if thou shall not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day to the ran over to the left to go after other gods to serve them but it shall come to pass if thou will not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe to do all the commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee now as we read this ask yourself this is the nation of Israel a cursed nation well let's find out verse 16 cursed shalt thou be in the city and cursed shall thou be in the field what is saying anywhere you go cursed shall be thy basket and I store cursed shall be the fruit of thy body and the fruit of the land the increase of thy kind and the flocks of thy sheep cursed shall thou be when thou comest in and cursed shall thou be when thou goest out I think he's trying to get something across here the Lord shall send upon thee cursings vexation and rebuke and all that thou set his thine hand unto for to do until thou be destroyed until thou perish quickly because of thy wickedness of thy doings whereby thou has forsaken me the Lord shall make the the pestilence cleave unto thee until he have consumed thee from off the land whether thou goest to possess it the Lord shall smite thee with the consumption and with the fever and with the inflammation and with an extreme burning and with the sword and with blasting and with mildew and they shall pursue thee until thou perish thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass and the earth that is under thee shall be iron and the Lord shall make the rain of thy ladder pop powder and dust from heaven excuse me from heaven shall they come down upon thee until thou be destroyed the Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies thou shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways from before them and shall be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth look at verse 26 the Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt and with the emerods and with the scab and with the itch wherefore whereof thou canst not be healed the Lord shall smite thee with madness and blindness and astonishment of heart thou shall grope as noonday as the blind gropeth in darkness thou shall not prosper in thy ways and thou shall be only a present spoiled evermore and no man shall save thee thou shall be trow the wife and another man shall lie with her thou shall build in house and thou shall not dwell therein thou shall plant a vineyard and thou shall not gather the grapes thereof thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes then thou shall not eat thereof thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face and shall not be restored to thee thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies and now shall have none to rescue it then let me say this who is this for Israel so when people say well the promises were made to Israel amen there you go verse 32 thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people and thine eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all the day long and there shall be no might in thine hand the fruit of thine land and all thy labors shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up and now shall be only oppressed and crushed always so that thou shall be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see the Lord shall smite thee in the knees and in the legs with the sore botch that cannot be healed from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head the Lord shall bring thee and thy King which thou shall set over thee unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known and there shall thou serve other gods wood and stone and thou shall become an astonishment a proverb and a byword among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee folks it looks to me that they shouldn't be there right so by process of elimination what we just read shows us that they not only should they not be in Israel they should be still scattered throughout all nations as a curse so if the nation of Israel is in that physical land we cannot accredit that to God because according to these verses and by the way just read the rest of the chapter I mean I we don't have time to go through the whole chapter according to this you're calling God a liar because if they're there and you're saying that it's God who did it then you're saying that Deuteronomy chapter 28 should just completely ripped out of the Bible and it holds no place today but we know that's not true the Israeli occupation of Palestine is wicked not because the Palestinians are righteous but because of the fact that they are forcing themselves to be in a place where God has not sanctioned them to be they are a cursed nation who hates the Lord Jesus Christ and are suffering the consequences of their actions and their ancestors actions well it's not their fault well you know what their parents should never have said his blood be on us and on our children amen let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer father we thank you so much for your word and we're thankful for the clarity in the Bible I don't think anybody can walk away from a sermon like this and not see the truth now they may not like the way I said it they may not like my attitude they may not like my disposition but they definitely cannot argue with the facts and from Genesis to Revelation this is a true statement we're so thankful that there were Jews in the Old Testament who preached the gospel to different nations we're thankful for the disciples we're thankful for the Jews that got saved and preached Christ and him crucified but Lord there was a group that sought to crucify him and did so and and curse themselves because of Jesus Lord and I pray God that you would help us Lord to understand this I pray that many more Christians would wake up you know there's a world crowd out there and they want to get on people for not checking the facts when it comes to vaccines and all these other things but for some reason when it comes to this subject they just want to turn a blind eye to it I pray that we wouldn't have that attitude Lord may we scour the Bible study to show ourselves approved unto God and prove all things and hold fast that which is good in Jesus name we pray amen amen number 10 right there in your hymnals near the cross as
