Why do people, why are people constantly pushing this narrative that Israel is just a major part of end times prophecy that Daniel's 70th week is just for them what is the deal with that? Well look at Revelation 2 and we're going to read verse 9 again and then we're going to go to Revelation 3 He says here, I know thy works in 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 now keep in mind that Jesus is the one saying that okay, look at chapter 3 if you would chapter 3, of course this is a continuation of those letters and in chapter 3 verse 7 he addresses the church of Philadelphia and he says in verse 7 into the angel of the church in Philadelphia write these things saith he that is holy he that is true he that hath the key of David he that openeth and no man shutteth and shutteth and no man openeth I know thy works behold I have set before thee an open door and no man can shut it for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word and is not denied my name verse 9 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 the Bible says now what's interesting is that when you look at these seven letters that are clearly being written to seven churches that existed at one point but no longer exist in the first century AD you see that when you start studying these letters you start realizing that a lot of this is essentially God briefing believers of what's going to take place in the end of the world the fact that you know there's going to be false apostles as we see being addressed to the church at Ephesus the fact that there's going to be tribulation as we see being addressed to the church that's in Thyatira the church that's in Smyrna and you know is it any coincidence that the main adversary that's being addressed to the seven churches are Jews the synagogue of Satan you know it's no coincidence that you have tribulation being mentioned you have false apostles being mentioned you have soul wanting being mentioned and then oh no but you know the whole thing about Jews that has nothing to do with end times it's not your interpretation it's like I sent this verse to a guy who was asking me about you know why do I believe this and I sent them Revelation 2-9, Revelation 3-9 and he said well that's the wrong interpretation so he told me and this is what I answered him I only sent you the verse though I didn't give an interpretation so he read that and automatically came up with an interpretation right? because he's like oh that's a wrong interpretation of that verse and I'm like I didn't give you an interpretation I just sent you the verse so you know checkmate and so you know obviously what I'm about to preach this morning does not fit the mainstream narrative of Christianity many Christians believe that the Jews are God's chosen people and that that seven year period that we see in the book of Revelation it's only designated for Israel only for the Jews but I'm going to show you this morning why it's not you see Israel and the Jews they definitely have a role in end times however it's not the role that mainstream Christians have been pushing for the last 200 years and this morning by way of introduction I want to go over some of the lies that people have been teaching of Israel's role in end times and then I'm going to explain what's actually going to happen to them what does the Bible actually say about Israel and about the Jews when dealing with end times prophecy now go with me if you would to Jeremiah chapter 30 this morning we're going to go all over the place both Old and New Testament so get ready get your pencils ready get your sheets of paper ready because we are going to go through a lot of portions of scripture this morning go to Jeremiah chapter 30 lie number one the seven year period is the time of Jacob's trouble okay now how many have heard that phrase before or have heard that said you know hey that seven year period we're not going to be here for that because that's the time of Jacob's trouble now what's funny about these people who repeat this rhetoric is that they don't even know where it says that in the Bible they're just kind of repeating the prophecy teacher of the week you know they're repeating whatever famous pastor saying out there it's the time of Jacob's trouble and the time of Jacob's trouble is a phrase that's found in the Bible but it's not about end times and the reason he calls it the reason people want to ascribe it to end times is because Jacob is obviously referring to Israel okay now let me take you to this passage of scripture in just a bit there's a false teaching that the seven year period in the end times is a seven year tribulation number one and that it's only for the Jews but let me explain something to you the seven year period nowhere in the Bible does it describe it as being seven years of tribulation it describes it as being three and a half years of tribulation and three and a half years of God's wrath but it's not seven years of tribulation designated only for the Jews the idea is that God will impose tribulation on the Jews for seven years so that at the end of those seven years they will be saved not by believing on Jesus Christ by faith but by looking upon him when he comes in Revelation 19 on a white horse so think about this every single person throughout history when they wanted to get saved they had to believe on the Lord and in the New Testament on the Lord Jesus Christ by faith they had to believe on him by faith confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in their heart that God has raised him from the dead and then they got saved but just all of a sudden according to these people in the end times oh well that's not for the Jews the Jews have to look at Jesus because this is what they teach they believe that when Jesus returns which is the third coming in Revelation 19 on a white horse at the battle of Armageddon to establish his millennial reign all the Jews are going to look up and say oy vey and drop all their shekels look upon him because they require a sign so you know God is essentially just giving them what they want which is a sign they need to visibly see Jesus Christ in order to be saved so they think that by looking upon Jesus in Revelation 19 that's how they're going to get saved but here's the problem with that interpretation or that doctrine number one it's not in the Bible but number two it obviously doesn't work because he came the first time and a bunch of people saw him for 33 years and Israel in general as a whole did not believe on him so how do you know that? because it says he came into his own and his own received him not so you think that all of a sudden you know he came on a donkey humble going into Jerusalem and they rejected him because four days later they're saying crucify him but all of a sudden he comes on a white horse they're just going to be like oh yeah he is the Savior since it's not going to happen so keep in mind that's the doctrine that's being pushed is that this seven years is seven years tribulation only designated for the Jews to purify them to get them ready so that at the end of those seven years they're humble enough that when they look upon Jesus Christ with their own eyes they're going to believe on him not by faith but by sight okay now look at Jeremiah chapter 30 where are they getting this from? Jeremiah chapter 30 verse number one let's just start reading verse number one it says the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying Thus speaketh the Lord God of Israel saying write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book for lo the days come saith the Lord that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah saith the Lord and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers and they shall possess it and these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel concerning Judah for thus saith the Lord we have heard a voice of trembling of fear and not of peace ask ye now and see whether a man doth travail with child wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins as a woman in travail and all faces are turned into paleness look at verse seven alas for that day is great so that none is like it it is even the time of Jacob's trouble but he shall be saved out of it and lo and behold that's your text verse to prove that Daniel's 70th week is only for the Jews because it says it right there right? obviously it doesn't say it right there I'm being facetious here but here's the thing is that the seven year period get this is seven years well look at verse seven alas for that day is great I don't know if you know this but a day and seven years are two complete opposite things there right? a day is a day and seven years is seven years so the time of Jacob's trouble according to Jeremiah chapter 30 verse 7 is actually something that takes place in a day now what is being referred to here though? well if you read back in chapter 29 and if you know the history behind what's taking place in the book of Jeremiah King Nebuchadnezzar is coming to take the children of Israel and Judah captive into Babylon for 70 years for their disobedience to God so they're taken into captivity and this is the famous verse in Jeremiah 29 verse 11 where he says I know the thoughts that I think of you thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end and he's explaining to them in chapter 29 how he's going to take them by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar they're going to go into captivity for their disobedience well in chapter 30 he's further describing that captivity and saying that in that day is going to be the time of Jacob's trouble why? because they're being killed they're being pillaged and they're going to be taken into Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar for their disobedience to God's word and then he says but he shall be saved out of it now why is that or what is that referring to? it's referring to the fact that after 70 years of captivity they're going to come back to the land so these people who want to repeat this rhetoric of oh the time of Jacob's trouble you know you need to learn the history behind that phrase in the context of Jeremiah chapter 30 and what's taking place they're being taken into captivity this has nothing to do with end times prophecy because first and foremost the time of Jacob's trouble based upon their interpretation is 7 years whereas Jeremiah chapter 30 verse 7 says that it happens in a day because in a day is when they're pillaged, they're taken, captive they're killed, they're destroyed and Nebuchadnezzar essentially takes them into Babylon for 70 years so what do we see here? we see that this phrase is just something that people throw out there just to kind of add credibility to the pre-tribulation rapture narrative to the Zionist narrative that's being constantly pushed behind the pulpits of America but it's not true and here's the thing folks is that don't just listen to a phrase and automatically think okay yeah that's for sure doctrine you know people do this all the time Abraham's bosom automatically means it's the second compartment of hell you know what I mean? no Abraham's bosom is the chest cavity of the patriarch Abraham but all of a sudden people build up this doctrine that Abraham's bosom is actually this geographical location right next to hell where the saints of the Old Testament went and then Jesus Christ brought them out of that even though nowhere in the Bible does it ever teach such a doctrine but they use that phrase to try to add credibility just like they're using Jacob's name to try to add credibility to the so-called 7 year tribulation okay now go to Revelation chapter 7 so again this isn't a 7 year tribulation nowhere in the Bible does it teach that Christians by the way won't go through tribulation because another aspect of this teaching is that oh don't worry Christians none of us are going to be here during that time before the tribulation even starts we're going to be out of here brother and what they're referring to is that we're going to experience the rapture prior to that 7 year period because the 7 year period is only designated for God's elect who they refer to as the Jews so this is often taught in conjunction with the doctrine that believers will be raptured before the tribulation and one of the common things that they'll say is like well you know the church isn't mentioned after Revelation chapter 3 so you have the 7 churches which are in Asia chapter 2 and chapter 3 and so chapter 4 is the rapture and then the church isn't mentioned thereafter well here's the thing though is that a church is made up of believers which are also referred to as saints and Revelation chapter 13 talks about the Antichrist making war with the saints well what are the saints doing there if they've already been raptured Revelation 14 talks about the patience of the saints oh there goes that word again what are you guys doing here we left already Revelation 13 verse 10, Revelation 14 not only that but in Revelation chapter 22 in verse 16 let me read this to you it says here I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches I am the root and offspring of David and the bright and morning star you see a lot of people who believe in the dispensational teaching of Jews they often say don't read the book of Revelation that's only for the Jews well here Jesus said I want you to testify of these things in the churches well if it's not for us then why do we need to know about it why is this information even relevant to us if we're not even going to be here I'll tell you why because we are going to be here you see the Bible specifically tells us that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God the Bible says that we're not appointed to wrath but that we are appointed to tribulation Jesus Christ while he was here in John chapter 16 is admonishing the believers and saying let not your hearts be troubled neither let it be afraid he says that he's overcome the world that in the world they shall suffer tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world so he's constantly telling believers you're going to go through tribulation you're going to go through affliction you're going to go through persecution you're going to go through hardships you're not going to go through wrath because God is not going to pour out his wrath upon believers because he that believeth on the son hath everlasting life he that believeth not the son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him and so if you're saved you're not going to suffer God's wrath but you will suffer tribulation because yea all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution so one of the common themes of the Bible but very much in the New Testament is tribulation for Christians, persecutions and afflictions but yet you have this group of Christians out there that say oh don't worry we'll be out of here before all that takes place you know before the tribulation before the antichrist comes and before the four horsemen of the apocalypse takes place before all that happens we're going to be out of here we're going to be in heaven and they mock people like us like you guys can stay but I'm going up I can't wait till that day when I'm like weren't you supposed to be leaving by now did you miss your train did you miss your flight and you say well what's the problem if they believe something like that well obviously you know it doesn't necessarily render them damnable heretics but pastors who teach this are doing their members a disservice because if it were to happen in their lifetime there's a lot of believers that are going to stumble they're going to fall because they don't know how to handle that tribulation because they were taught their entire lives that they weren't supposed to be here when that takes place and so that's what's wrong with this doctrine Daniel's 70th what should we call the seven years Daniel's 70th week the seven year period three and a half years of tribulation that is imposed upon believers by the Antichrist and then after those three and a half years we're out of here because the Bible does actually teach that that after the tribulation Jesus will come and rapture us and then once we get raptured then there's three and a half years of God's wrath where God is punishing this world for their iniquities for their idolatry for their fornication and murder and at the end of those three and a half years completing those seven years the battle of Armageddon takes place where Jesus goes to war with the Antichrist and the false prophet he destroys them and then he sets up his millennial reign a thousand year reign of Jesus Christ so line number one the seven year period in the book of Revelation is not for the Jews or should I say not exclusively for the Jews because everyone experiences everything that's taken place in the seven year period specifically in the first three and a half if you're a believer but everyone's going to experience it not just Gentiles not just Jews everyone does okay line number two the Jews are the 144,000 of Revelation okay now look at Revelation chapter 7 now this is a huge teaching in old IFP churches and in fact there's an old IFP pastor named Jim Vineyard and he as far as I know was a safe person but man he worshipped the Jews for sure because he would make these yearly pilgrimages to Israel to essentially bless and like financially bless the Israeli soldiers can someone help the young lady outside she's out the door right there and so he would go there and buy pizzas and hand them out to all the Israeli soldiers and the reason he did that was because he literally thought and he's in heaven now because he died like I don't know like 10 years ago or so but he literally thought that the Israeli soldiers would be the 144,000 of the book of Revelation one day that's what he thought and so here is the misconception regarding the Jews and the 144,000 is that they'll never say it's the 144,000 of Israel they'll say it's the 144,000 Jews but that is biblically inaccurate look at verse number four of Revelation 7 it says and I heard the number of them which were sealed and they were sealed the 144,000 of all the tribes of the children of Jews no it says of Israel and in fact in this list there's only 12,000 Jews because Jews are of Judah look at verse five of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand, of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. Okay well yeah, I just, when we see Jews we're referring to all of Israel. Well here's the problem though, Dan's not mentioned here. So obviously it's not all of them, right? Now go to Revelation chapter 14, you say well who are these 144,000? You're saying it's not the Jews, are you just saying that they're Israelites? Okay then they're Israelites. Well here's the thing is that the common narrative regarding the 144,000 is that there are 144 Jews who will be existing on the earth in the modern state of Israel at that time that will be saved and then begin to evangelize, okay? And I know that sounds like sweet and nice and everything but it's not accurate, okay? You say who are they? Well they are Israelites for sure. And based upon the fact that it can clearly be stated what tribe they are from, it's an indicator that they're not part of the modern state of Israel since those tribes don't exist today. Where did they come from? The Old Testament! Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on. You're telling me that there's 144,000 Israelites of the Old Testament that are going to exist in the future? Yeah, you got it right. God brings them back supernaturally, okay, and this is a special forces type of group here that God has given the privilege to come in the future to preach the gospel to different people throughout the world. Now let me prove it to you that they begin in heaven. It says in verse number one of Revelation 14, and I looked and lo a lamb stood on Mount Zion. Now let me just make myself very clear here, the lamb is who? Jesus Christ. Where's Mount Zion? It's in heaven. It's in heaven. And with him, 144,000, having his father's name written in their foreheads. You say, well, that just means that they went to heaven afterwards. No, because in Revelation chapter seven, they were not sealed in their foreheads as of yet. Whereas in Revelation 14, Revelation seven, they were not sealed in their foreheads. Revelation 14, they're in heaven already having the seal, okay? Having his father's name written in their foreheads, and I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunder, and I heard a voice of harpers harping with their harps, and they sung as it were a new song before the throne and before the four beasts and the elders, and no man could learn that song but the 144,000 which were redeemed from the earth. Let me also say this regarding the seal to prove that they started here, because they have physical bodies, because the reason they're being sealed in their foreheads is because In Revelation chapter nine, a band of locusts are going to be released into this earth to torment men, I think I got the number right, for five months at least, I think it says for five months, and they're not able to die. So they go and torment men for five months, but the only people they're not permitted to touch are those who have the seal of God on their foreheads. So if we have them in heaven, right? And then we have them coming to earth and they haven't been sealed as of yet, they're getting sealed, it's kind of showing us that they have physical bodies that they're returning. You say well that's kind of a stretch to say they have physical bodies while they're here, you know, what were they doing in heaven? Well here's the thing folks is that the Bible also talks about the two witnesses that will be returning as well, and that they're going to be killed later on. Not only that, but there's believers that are going to come back as well, right? Because at the rapture, those who have already died, they meet their bodies in the air. So it's not far fetched to think that's what's going to happen, that is what's taking place. But look at verse number four, these are they which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. So now it's going to give the qualifications of these 144,000 and why God esteemed them, or what's special about this group. He says for they are virgins, these are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He go with, these were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile, for they are without fault before the throne of God. So the fact that it says that they are the firstfruits of God essentially implies that these are some of the first Israelites that got saved in the Old Testament, okay? They don't have their resurrected bodies yet, because they can still be killed, and they come from the Old Testament. Now who are these people? Well obviously it's kind of given us the characteristics and what they're known for, but this is possibly just groups of people from each tribe of the Old Testament who just served God, were holy, they somehow reached some sort of level of godliness that God saw fit to essentially use them in the end times. They obviously, you know, they didn't experience some of the pleasures of this world, you understand? So there's certain pleasures that they went without because they were a part of this group. And so God is honoring this group in such a way that He's going to allow them to return once again, to come and preach the gospel in the end of the world. He seals them so that the scorpions can't get them, the locusts, well scorpion tails don't get them. And then obviously they go into the millennial reign thereafter and receive their glorified bodies. Now go to Jeremiah chapter 23. You see the mainstream narrative is that no, these are all Jews, but no, we just saw now that it's the 12 tribes and even then we have the tribe of Dan missing because the tribe of Joseph and Manasseh is being kind of split up there. That's why it's still 12, but the tribe of Dan is not there. So it's Israelites, but even then it's not all Israelites because the tribe of Dan is missing. Lie number three, and here's one of the biggest ones. This lie is constantly being perpetuated and is often the wild card when you're arguing or should I say discussing this topic with a Zionist Christian. Because here's the thing folks, there's overwhelming evidence in the Bible to show that the Jews are not God's chosen people, they're not the elect, that Jesus said they are of the synagogue of Satan, they're lying about being Jews. I mean we can point to John 844, we can point to Matthew chapter 25, we can go to Galatians 3, Galatians 4, Romans 2, Romans 9, Romans 10. We can go all over the place to show what the Bible actually teaches that they're not God's chosen people. 1 Peter chapter 2 that says that Gentile believers are God's chosen people. And then when they have nothing left, they pull out this card and they're like yeah but all Israel shall be saved though. Lie number three, all of the modern state of Israel shall be saved at the third coming of Christ. Because that's what they imply. And they interpret all Israel shall be saved as all the modern day Christ rejecting Jews being justified by faith in Christ. So you can say, you can show them all this evidence. And here's what I often show people because people are constantly quoting the Old Testament regarding the promises that were given to Israel, they're the apple of his eye, pray for Jerusalem, Genesis chapter 12, and I always think to myself why don't you ever quote what Jesus said about the Jews though, because Jesus is God. Like he's like the most important person in the Bible. I mean we're talking about Jesus, there's no name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. You know, I mean God said of Jesus, God the Father said of Jesus Christ his son, you know that there's Moses and Elijah but when you talk about his son he says, hear ye him, at the Mount of Transfiguration. He said hear ye him. Jesus said oh ye fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken and beginning of Moses and all the prophets he expounded in all the scriptures to things concerning himself. He says Moses wrote of me. He said before Abraham was I am. So like Jesus' words is the most authoritative aspect of the Bible, right? But they never quote Jesus when dealing with the Jews. They never talk about what Jesus said and this is something that I just kind of like realized because I'm always quoting Jesus what Jesus said and they're always going back to the Old Testament and I'm thinking like why don't you repeat what Jesus said? You know why? Because Jesus had nothing good to say about the Jews. And this is the only thing they'll say about Jesus when it comes to the Jews, Jesus was a Jew. That's the only thing they'll say and in fact I talked to this guy last night because you know I was doing a little bit of research and I found in the Jewish encyclopedia what the Jews believe about Jesus and I've said this multiple times but I've never actually quoted what they actually said. Where's my phone at? And you know the Jews believe that Jesus is actually in hell, burning in his own boiling excrement and you know you tell that to people and they're just like oh but they're God's chosen people you know. You can kind of show them some of the most blasphemous things they said about Jesus and they don't really care. But I found in the Jewish encyclopedia that the Jews basically are quoting Jesus but this quotation doesn't come from him when he's on earth, it's actually coming from hell. So it's one of those like Lazarus and the rich man type deals here and this is what Jesus said according to the Jewish encyclopedia of the Jews. Further their well-being, do nothing to their detriment, whoever touches him touches even the apple of his eye. So I sent this to the guy and he's just like oh yeah that's from Zechariah. I'm like Jesus never said that. I'm like he never said that. And they never want to reference what Jesus says about the Jews because they know how disrespectful Jesus was towards the Jews. He said some of the most aggressive, disrespectful statements and they know it will look bad if they criticize the statements because you know Jesus is God, he's the savior. And so there's this constant struggle with people where they want to esteem the Jews but they don't want to really quote what Jesus is saying about them because their argument basically falls apart because anytime you bring Jesus into the equation, who cares what anybody says? Even if you bring up statements from the Old Testament at the end of the day, not that they contradict, we go with what Jesus said. And so they'll always pull out yeah but all Israel shall be saved. And so they're saying it doesn't matter who they are now and what they're guilty of, what blasphemies they committed and the fact that they take credit for crucifying Jesus Christ and you know all of these wicked and filled with iniquity statements that they have put out there about Jesus. At the end of the day the Bible does say all Israel shall be saved. And that's supposed to be like a card that's like oh man, uno. You got me. Uno. Because they're basically implying in spite of all that they're still all going to be saved. God has a plan for them and they're all going to be saved at the very end. Now I had to turn to Jeremiah 23, I'm going to read you from Isaiah 45 and verse 17, just one verse here that says, but Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation. Ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. Look at Jeremiah 23 and verse number 6, it says, in his days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely and this is his name whereby he shall be called the Lord our righteousness. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that they shall no more say the Lord liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. But the Lord liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country and from all countries whether I had driven them and they shall dwell in their own land. Now go to Romans chapter 11 and then we're going to go to Romans chapter 9. So Romans 11 is what they're quoting but what they don't realize is that the concept of all Israel being saved is found in the book of Isaiah and it's also found in the book of Jeremiah as we just clearly saw, right? Now let me just briefly explain something is that what they believe is that when the Bible says in Revelation 1.7, Behold, he cometh with clouds, every eye shall see him and they also which pierced him, they ascribe Revelation 1.7 as taking place in Revelation 19 when he comes on a white horse because of the fact that it says that them also which pierced him and they obviously ascribe that to being the Jews and they think, okay, that's when they look upon him and then that's when they get saved. Now we know that Revelation 1.7 is actually just talking about the rapture that takes place in Revelation 7. Now look at Romans 11, we're just going to look at a couple of verses here. Look at verse 26, I'm sorry verse 25, it says, For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. So keep that in mind, it says the Israelites are blind until when? Until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in, in other words, until the times that the Gentiles are fulfilled and then essentially what it's saying is that that blindness will be taken off. Then it says in verse 26, And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. So this is their text verse, now go to chapter 9 if you would, chapter 9, like are you avoiding these concepts? No, I'm going to explain to you very clearly, first of all what it means, but before I even explain what it means, I'm going to show you how logically inconsistent that doctrine of theirs is. And I'm talking about majorly inconsistent. Look at Revelation 9 verse 25, As he saith also in Osi, Osi is referring to Hosea, that's the New Testament way of saying Hosea, I will call them my people which were not my people, and her beloved which was not beloved, and it shall come to pass in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there shall they be called the children of the living God. Verse 27, As I is also quiet concerning Israel, though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, listen to this, a remnant shall be saved. Now can someone explain to me, how can you have all Israel being saved, but only a remnant getting saved? Can someone explain that to me? Because those two ideas are mutually exclusive. Because a remnant is a small part of the bigger group. So how are you going to say, well all Israel shall be saved, they're all going to be justified, but the Bible also says, oh no no, only a remnant, a small portion, a leftover, right? A small group of people are going to be saved. Now what the Christian Zionists will do is they'll just go with Romans 11. And just ignore this. Nothing to see here. What Christians who actually love the Bible will do is reconcile both. Because these two are opposing ideas my friend. You cannot say that all the nation of Israel is going to get saved when the Bible is also clearly teaching that only a remnant, only a small group will be saved. Which is what they believe. They believe that no, the entire nation of Israel is going to get saved. All the Jews that are in the current Christ-rejecting modern state of Israel, they're all going to be saved. Wrong. It actually says that a remnant shall be saved, and in Romans chapter 9 it's actually in context of salvation. In fact, look what it says in verse 28. For he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. He says, and as Isaiah said before, except the Lord of Sabioth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodomah and been like into Gomorrah. Now go to Zechariah chapter 13, Zechariah chapter 13, I'll give you time to look for it. I'll give you time to go to the table of contents, look for there, or to just flip all the way through until you see the Z. And I didn't say Zephaniah, okay, Zechariah. So are those contradictory statements? Because it says all Israel shall be saved, but the Bible also says that only a remnant shall be saved. So they can't be contradicting each other, because we know it's the word of God and the Bible does not contradict. So we have to reconcile what it actually refers to. Well here's the thing folks, is that obviously their interpretation of Romans 11 26 is completely wrong because it takes away from what the gospel actually is. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth. And you believe by faith. We walk by faith, not by sight. So they interpret Romans 11 26 as taking place in Revelation 19 when they see it, whereas we know based upon God's word, everyone gets saved the same exact way. From the Old Testament all the way to the very end of history, even until the end of the millennial reign, everyone gets saved by believing on Jesus Christ by faith. That's what the Bible teaches. There's no different gospels in the Bible. There's no dispensational salvations in the Bible. Salvation has always been by grace through faith in the Lord in the Old Testament and then you can add on to the New Testament Jesus Christ. Now that is wrong, right? But they believe that they're all going to get saved because that's not biblical. So are you saying that a remnant of Israel is going to be saved in the end times? Yes. Look at Zechariah chapter 13 and look at verse number 8. Zechariah 13 verse 8 says, And it shall come to pass that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die, but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried, and they shall call on my name. And I will hear them, and I will say, It is my people, and they shall say, The Lord is my God. You say, what's the difference? The difference is these people who are the Jews of Israel are getting saved the same way everyone else is getting saved throughout the tribulation. They're getting saved by virtue of the fact that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Nothing special, they don't get a special treatment, they don't get a special revelation of God, all they get is what everyone else gets, which is the gospel. And the Bible is simply telling us here that all Israel, within all Israel, you're going to have a remnant. And look, that actually fits the context of Romans 11 because we see in Romans chapter 11 that even in Elijah's day there were 7,000 prophets who had not bowed the knee to Baal, which was a remnant. And he even goes on to say, and even now there's an election according to grace, right, talks about how the rest are blinded, that there's an election based upon the grace referring to the salvation, and how even in Paul's day there were saved Israelites. Let me ask you a question, were all Israelites saved in Paul's day? Were all Israelites saved in Jesus' day? So all Israelites aren't saved today, and guess what, all Israelites are not going to be saved in the end times as well. It's always going to be a remnant. Because to say that all of them are going to be saved is just as ridiculous to say that the whole world is going to be saved, right? Because not everyone is going to accept Jesus Christ. Not everyone is going to believe on the Lord. We know that a small group of people, in comparison obviously to the rest of the world, is going to get saved. Obviously we know there's going to be billions of people in heaven, but let me just say this, there's going to be trillions of people in hell. More people in hell than there will be in heaven. And in like manner, guess what, there will be more Israelites in hell than there will be in heaven. And the Bible is clear about that, it says a remnant shall be saved. A small group. And guess what, at that point the promises apply to them, why? Because now they have the most important element, which is Jesus. The covenant doesn't apply to people who don't want Jesus. It's like they want all the promises without the main product. Like we want all the promises given to us by God but we just don't want Jesus. Well then you can't have it. Simple as that. So Jews are going to be saved by virtue that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. The way they get saved is through faith in Christ, not through looking upon Him in Revelation 19. Now go to Daniel chapter 8, Daniel chapter 8. So those are like the three main lies of Israel and end times prophecy. One being that it's the time of Jacob's trouble, and let me say this, they are going to be in trouble for sure. You know, Easter egg there. They are definitely going to be in a lot of trouble, okay? Two, that the Jews are the 144,000, wrong, it's 144,000 Israelites who come from the Old Testament. And three, that the entire modern state of Israel is going to be saved, wrong, a remnant shall be saved. And it's not through some miraculous avenue that's exclusive only to them, it's through the gospel. The way everyone else gets saved. And by the way, if he's saying I will call them my people which were not my people, how can that apply to the Jews if the Jews are God's chosen people? That would imply that they weren't God's people at that time. If he's saying I will be their God, it's implying that he's not their God right now. So therefore they can't be God's chosen people. Will they worship God? No they don't because God says you don't worship. Because they don't worship God because they don't have the Son. So let's talk about what their role in the next 40 minutes, I'm just kidding, I'm going to talk about the role of Israelites in the book of Revelation, what is their role going to be? Number one, they will aid the Antichrist. And if you are a Zionist Christian you're going to hate this but it's just fact and it's biblically sound. But they will aid the Antichrist in coming into power. Well say, you say how do you know that? Well first and foremost the most obvious answer is that the Jews are still waiting for a Messiah. And is it any coincidence that Christians are so delusional today and they worship Israel and they worship the Jews so much in spite of the fact that you show them all these clear scriptures? Obviously this narrative is constantly being pushed for a reason. They're going to aid the Antichrist in coming into power. Now let me read to you a couple of verses before I get into the book of Daniel. John 5, 43, authoritative, the whole Bible is authoritative but this is especially because it's the words of Jesus. He says, I come in my Father's name and ye receive me not. If another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. So he came into his own, his own received and not and he's telling them if someone else comes in their own name, that person you are going to receive and you know what, that's indicative of the Antichrist. Because Antichrist doesn't necessarily mean that he's anti-Jesus although we know he is. Antichrist means he comes in the place of Christ. 1 John 2, 18, little children, it is the last time and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come. Even now are there many Antichrists whereby we know that it is the last time. Verse 22, who is the liar? Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is Antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son. So if Jews deny Jesus Christ, by biblical definition, what are they? Liars. And Antichrists. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. By the way, that applies to Muslims too. Like well, you know, they believe in God, they just don't believe in Jesus. They don't believe in God because they don't have the true God of the Bible, they don't have the true God because they don't believe in Jesus. So how do we know that they will aid the Antichrist in coming into power and taking that position? How do we know that? Well, one thing you'll notice when you read the book of Daniel for example, and even parts of the book of Revelation, is that there's sacrifices taking place. Isn't that weird? You say, well how do you know they're taking place? Well because of the fact that, the book of Daniel is always talking about the fact that the sacrifices and the oblations will cease. So if they're ceasing, that means they were instituted at some point before that. Who's doing that? The Jews are. Because the Jews are the only ones who practice that in the temple. The sacrifices of, we're talking about the animal sacrifices here. In Daniel chapter 8 and verse number 11, Now I want you to just pay attention to that phrase, that the sacrifices were taken away. Just remember that. The sacrifices were taken away. Obviously that implies that they're being instituted, but it's very significant that by the Antichrist they were taken away. Now go to chapter 11 if you would, chapter 11, I'm gonna read to you, I'm gonna continue reading from Daniel chapter 8 and verse 24, it says, Referring to the fact that he will gain power not only through a nation, but also through Satan. Okay? And he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. Now when we compare that to Revelation 13, Revelation 13 tells us that he makes war with the saints and overcomes them, right? It goes on to say that through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand and he shall magnify himself in his heart, referring to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, that he shall oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. It says, and by peace shall destroy many, and he shall also stand up against the prince of princes, but he shall be broken without hand. So this verse right here is essentially collectively talking about what's gonna take place with the Antichrist, the fact that he's gonna proclaim himself to be God, by peace he shall destroy many, very much true, and then he's gonna come up against Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ is just gonna destroy him. It says he shall be broken without hand. So Jesus doesn't even have to like lift up his hands. He doesn't have to catch phase or anything. You know, people have to say they don't want that smoke, well the Antichrist is getting that smoke because he's literally being burnt to a crisp, if you know the story, okay? Alright now look at Daniel 11 verse 20. Then shall stand up in the estate a razor of taxes and the glory of the kingdom, but within few days he shall be destroyed neither in anger nor in battle. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, this is the Antichrist, to whom they shall not give the honor of the kingdom. Now let me explain a couple things here before I proceed. The book of Daniel is obviously referring to the Antichrist here in this particular passage but it's a dual fulfillment because there was an Antichrist even in Daniel's day or what he's prophesying about in their near future who's known as Antiochus Epiphanes. And this Antiochus Epiphanes essentially executed a lot of what's taking place here but even he was a foreshadowing of the Antichrist that will come according to 1 John chapter 2, right? The Antichrist will come is obviously referring to the main Antichrist so these verses can't still be applied to what's going to take place in the future. And it says here that a vile person shall stand up in verse 21 and they shall not give the honor of the kingdom. Now what does that mean? It means that when the Antichrist comes on the scene he doesn't come already ruling the entire world because the kingdom is not given unto him and in fact there are 10 kings according to the book of Revelation, right? And the role that the Antichrist plays is that he's going forth conquering and to conquer but we know that the kingdom is not given unto him yet. And the best way to explain it or the best way for you to understand how the Antichrist is going to operate is you got to look at the way the major kings in the Bible operated. For example you have King David. Now King David was anointed king but he didn't become the physical king for a long time. He was anointed king to become king and then there came a point where then he actually became, he took the throne and became king. Well in like manner with the Antichrist the Bible says in Revelation chapter 6 that he sits on a white horse, he has a bow in his hand, a crown is given unto him and he's going forth conquering and to conquer but he's not the ruler of the world yet. So essentially the honor of the kingdom, that new world order, isn't given to him as of yet at that point. Let's read on. But he shall come in peaceably. We read that he's going to make a covenant with many for one week. And if you're here on Thursday, one week is indicative of what? Seven years. He shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. This is why all the Christians are going to just worship him, the false Christians, Christians who aren't saved, they're going to love the Antichrist because he's going to obtain the kingdom by flatteries. You're like, do you really think, come on, do you really think mainstream Christians are really going to like the Antichrist? Well, how are they liking the Jews right now, right? I mean they're willing to ignore every portion of scripture. So I don't think the Antichrist is going to have a hard time at all. He's going to come on the scene and they're going to be like, you had me at hello. Yeah, you had me at shalom. You had me at shabbat. Verse 22, and with the arms of a flood shall they be overthrown from before him and shall be broken, yea, also the prince of the covenant. So obviously what's being indicated here is that going forth conquering and to conquer with the flood is often indicative or symbolizes an army, okay? He's conquering. Verse 23, and after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully for he shall come up and shall become strong with a small people. So according to the Bible, he's going to deceive a certain group of people, he's going to be promoted and he's going to become strong with a very small people. This is referring to Israel, it's referring to the Jews. Which is why we know that it's referring to a Jewish Antichrist because first and foremost what is he doing causing the oblations to cease? Why are they even instituted in the first place? He's obviously working in cahoots with them. He's becoming strong with them. He's flattering them. Oh yeah, let's institute those sacrifices again and worship the God of our fathers and just kind of show that we need to revive Judaism and he's becoming strong with them. And obviously we know why, it's because they have all the money, amen? And is it any coincidence that he's going forth conquering and to conquer and the Jews by and large are responsible for all the major wars throughout history? Look at Daniel 11 and verse 31. Now here's a very interesting verse right here. Verse 31 says, So keep in mind, what's taking place here? It's basically something that Antiochus Epiphanes did but it's also something that the Antichrist would do in the end times. So what takes place is that if we were to look at it from Daniel's 70th week, he confirms the covenant with many for one week, the sacrifices are instituted and then the oblations cease at a certain point and then the abomination of desolation is set up. So keep that in mind. Very important. Abomination of desolation is set up, sacrifices are no longer done. Look at verse 32. This is this right here. Those who do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. So here's the distinction between two groups. Those who do wickedly against the covenant and those who do know their God. Now let's just go ahead and skip to the future here and go to the book of Revelation. You don't have to turn there yet. I'm saying the events of the book of Revelation. How would a group do wickedly against the covenant? Or should I ask, what is the covenant that's being referred to here? It's referring to the new covenant. How would you do wickedly against that covenant? I'll tell you how. By reinstating the animal sacrifices. Because to reinstate the animal sacrifices is essentially rejecting the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Because once Jesus Christ died and resurrected, he caused the oblations to cease. Because no longer needed sacrifices. So why are these oblations and sacrifices ceasing in the antichrist day? Well because of the fact that he comes back to life and he says, I am God. We don't need those sacrifices anymore. Because here's a major point that I was thinking about like, why is he causing the sacrifices to cease? I'll tell you why. Because he's mimicking Jesus Christ. Because what did Jesus do? Once he resurrected from the grave, the new testament began, the new covenant. And once that started, meats, drinks, diverse washings, incarnal ordinances were done away with. They were imposed upon the people until the time of reformation, reformation referring to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. So the reason they're ceasing in the book of Revelation as well, as we see here in the book of Daniel, is because of the fact that it's at that point that the antichrist says, you don't need to do sacrifices anymore, I've already sacrificed myself for you, I died and came back to life. Because he's mimicking Jesus Christ. And so the people who are doing wickedly against the covenant are the Jews. The mere fact that they're reinstating the animal sacrifices is a wicked thing to do. Why? Because Jesus Christ is the lamb of God who should take away the sins of the world and he was already sacrificed once and for all. If anyone keeps doing animal sacrifices, they're saying that sacrifice is not valid. He died, he only had about 12 disciples. He was a troublemaker. I mean I'm quoting people, that's what they say. He's a troublemaker, that's not a large following. That's what they said. Now they're not doing animal sacrifices right now. You know why? Because they don't have a temple. Oh but there's a third temple coming. And once that third temple is built, the animal sacrifices are going to be reinstated, which is essentially then doing wickedly against the new covenant. And what happens? He, referring to the antichrist, will corrupt them by flattery. He's like, oh yeah, let's oive, let's reinstate these animal sacrifices and you know, worship the God of the Bible and you know, just kind of corrupt them and just flatter them. Up until the point he receives the deadly wound to the head, his deadly wound is healed, he comes back to life, he sets up the abomination of desolation and now he's like, you don't need the animal sacrifices, this is the, not the new covenant, this is the new world order. Now thankfully it says, but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits. Who's that talking about? Believers. They're like, I ain't buying into all this crap, I ain't participating in no animal sacrifice, I'm not going to sacrifice no red heifer! It says in verse 33, and they that understand among the people shall instruct many, yet they shall fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoils many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be hoping with a little help, but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. Listen to this, and some of them of understanding shall fall to try them and to purge and to make them white even to the end of time because it is yet for a time appointed. Isn't it interesting that in verse 35 it says that and it's kind of synonymous with what we see in Zechariah chapter 13? He says in verse 36, and the king shall do according to his will, he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for that is determined shall be done. Listen to this, this is how we know he's going to be a Jewish anti-Christ. Verse 37, neither shall he regard the God of his fathers. Who's it talking about? Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Referring to the fact that he comes from that physical nation. He's not going to regard the God of his fathers because who is the God of his fathers is Jesus. Nor the desire of women, so he's a sodomite. Nor regard any god, for he shall magnify himself above all, but in his estate shall he honor the God of forces, apparently he likes Star Wars, and a God of whom his fathers knew not Shall he honor with gold and silver and with precious stones and pleasant things, the Bible says. So this is proof, my friends, that the anti-Christ will be a Jewish anti-Christ. He's not esteeming the God of his fathers, he's flattering the Jewish people to reinstate the animal sacrifices, and he's becoming strong with the very small people, who do you think that's referring to? Pygmies or something? It's referring to a physical nation that everyone considers to be a small nation. They always talk about, oh you got this little piece of land over there and who knows how they're defending themselves and God's with them. They're that small people, well guess what, that's how he becomes strong with. The anti-Christ is playing the Israelites and the Jews, modern day Jews, especially if he's here now, in order to come into power. Now go to Luke 21, Luke 21, I got two more quick points okay, so just hold on okay, just bear with me. He's like man, so you told us all these lies about Israel, it just sounds like everything's bad, well it's not bad because the remnant shall be saved. You know we love that remnant, and you know that remnant will love us, and when we are in heaven, we're not going to be saying shalom shabbat, we're going to be saying glory to God. We're going to be saying hallelujah to Jesus Christ. And you know what, we're going to be like, oh you're a Jew who got saved, he's going to be like don't call me that, don't call me Jew, I'm a Christian, I'm a believer. Here's another thing that's going to happen to Israel, is that Israel according to the flesh, meaning the physical state, will be destroyed. It'll be destroyed. And we're talking about Christ rejecting Israelites in the end times. Look at verse 20 of Luke 21, Luke 21 is an end times passage that can parallel with Mark 13, Matthew 24, and Revelation chapter 6, it says in Luke 21 verse 20, and when you shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh, referring to the abomination of desolation, then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let them which are in the midst of it depart out of it, and let not them that are in the countries enter there into, for these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled, but woe unto them that are with child and to them to give suck in those days, for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. Now who are this people, referring to the Israelites, because that's where it starts. The abomination of desolation is not going to be set up in America, it's not going to be set up in, you know, Russia, the abomination of desolation is going to be in Jerusalem, because that's where he's going to reign from, and at which point he's going to proclaim himself to be God, and the Israelites, the vast majority of them, are going to reject him because they don't want a messiah, they don't want a divine messiah, they want a political messiah, and then vengeance is going to be executed upon them, because anybody who doesn't worship the antichrist gets killed. But particularly, it says here, these be the days of vengeance, who's executing, who is striking vengeance upon the Israelites, it's God, because it says that all things which are written may be fulfilled, because God promised to get them back. He promised to pay them back for all of their rejection, their blasphemies towards Jesus Christ, the fact that they crucified him, and they're just not willing to believe on Jesus Christ, now the days of vengeance are taking place. He says in verse 24, and they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and they shall be led away captive into all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. Referring to the fact that once the abomination of desolation is set up, aside from the fact that Christians are going to be persecuted and killed, unsaved Jews are going to be killed as well. This is the days of vengeance. And he says it's going to take place until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled, and when you look at the numbers, you see that it's for forty and two months, three and a half years. At the end of those three and a half years, Jesus comes back, and then you have the battle of Armageddon. Look at verse 25, and there shall be signs in the sun and in the moon and in the stars upon the earth, distressed of nations with perplexity, the sea and waves roaring, men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. So people are going to be having heart attacks during the time, because when Jesus Christ comes, it's such a terrifying sight. It's so epic, and so grand, you know, bodies are flying up in the air to being raptured, you have people who never took care of themselves, they're going to be like, men's hearts failing them for fear means heart attack. So a lot of chaos, he says in verse 27, and then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with power and great glory, and when these things begin to come to pass, men look up and lift up your heads for your redemption, draweth nigh. So vengeance upon this people, but lift up your heads for your redemption, draweth nigh. I'm making the distinction between those who do wickedly against the covenant, and those who do know their God. Pretty simple, right? You say, man, that's just sad, you know, like, we'll go to Hebrews eight, let's end on a good note here. Which these are all good notes, amen. Are you anti-Semitic? Is that what you are? Well, a Semite is anybody who speaks like Arabic, Hebrew, it's not just Jews, folks. So I'm not anti-Semitic because I love people and I want them to be saved. I want Jews to be saved, they just don't, they just hate the Lord. I'm not anti-Semitic, but they are anti-Christ. So why don't we get on them for doing that? Instead of calling me anti-Semitic, why don't we really focus on the problem and see that they're anti-Christ. Which is worse than just being a racist, actually. Because you're playing with your soul, and you're going to damn your soul to hell. Because the Bible says, if any love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let them be anathema, meaning let them be cursed. Now here's the last thing regarding the Israelites in the end times, is that the saved Israelites will inherit the millennial reign, they're going to inherit it. So if you're in Hebrews chapter 8, let me explain something here regarding all Israel being saved. All Israel being saved is a concept that essentially teaches that an entire nation will be reserved. If I tell you, I'm going to invite you to a party and I say I've reserved you a seat, I didn't say I preached the gospel to a chair. I've saved you a seat, I'm not saying I preached the gospel, I'm saying I'm saving this, I'm reserving this for you. Well in the millennial reign, the land will be reserved for saved Israelites. That's what that means, when all Israel shall be saved. He said, well how do you know that? Isn't that kind of a stretch? No, because in Jeremiah chapter 6, where we see the concept of reprobate silver shall men call them, for the Lord has rejected them, it actually talks about the nation of Israel becoming so polluted with paganism and idolatry, he says the bellows are burned and the refiner melteth in vain. So in order for God to purify the land, he had to literally get rid of the unbelieving Israelites. We're talking about Jeremiah's day. You see, Babylon, when people went into Babylon, that was God's way of purifying the land by getting rid of unbelieving Israelites who rejected the God of the Bible. You understand what I'm saying? So in the end times, the way the land will be purified, because Jesus will be in Israel, he will be in Jerusalem, that's where he's going to be reigning from in the millennial reign, but in order for the deliverer to come out of Zion and to remove ungodliness from Jacob, unsaved Israelites need to be evacuated, not evacuated, they need to be kicked out. What's the word, evicted? And obviously they're used to that already, and so it's going to be the final eviction of the Jews because ungodliness will be removed from Jacob, meaning unsaved Israelites will be removed and then at that point, all Israel shall be saved who are the Israel of God. And this is why Jesus told his disciples, the 12 disciples, that they shall sit on the 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel, saved Israelites. Look at Hebrews 8 verse 10, for this is the covenant that will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their mind and write them in their hearts and I will be to them a God and they shall be to me a people and they shall not teach every man his neighbor and every man his brother saying know the Lord for all shall know me from the least to the greatest. So that shows that they don't know the Lord right now. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and the sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. So if he's saying he will be to them a God, it's showing us that he's not their God right now. And so he's saying, you know, people often criticize us and say, man, you preach so hard against the Jews, it's like you hate them or something. What I actually hate is when people love other nations at the exclusion of Jesus. That's what I hate. I hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans. And I hate when people try to use the Bible to justify that. And I hate the fact that they would defend a nation by rejecting clearly what Jesus said. That's what I hate. Because any saved Jew will no longer identify themselves as a Jew anymore, because in Christ there's neither Jew nor Gentile. So at that point, it doesn't matter who they are. But if they claim to be a believer in Christ, but they exalt their nationality more than the Lord Jesus Christ, I hate that. And so, you know, I hope, you know, Jews get saved. And I know the Jews will get saved in the end times, very small remnant. But you know what? They agree with us, though. Those Jews agree with us. Any Jew who's gotten saved agrees with us. So how do you know that? Well, because I learned this doctrine from saved Jews, Paul, Peter, John, I don't know I don't know if you know this, but they are ethnically Jews. And they don't even like to call themselves that, they just call themselves believers and disciples of Christ. So get this, I learned this doctrine from saved Jews, you know, this anti-Semitic doctrine, I learned it from them. And in fact, I got most of my teaching from the most anti-Semitic person in the world basically, according to the Jews, Jesus, because at the end of the day, it's not anti-Semitic. It's anti heresy. It's anti false doctrine. You know, we're preaching against the Antichrist. And so that is Israel's role in end times. Let's pray. Father, we thank you so much for your word, Lord, thank you for the promises of God. And we do pray for Jews to be saved, Lord, we pray for them to be saved, just as we would pray for the Palestinians to be saved. And we don't hate either or Lord, but those who hate you, those who mock you and blaspheme your name, let them be a curse. That's what the Bible says. And so if we have to choose between the nationality and the Lord, we always go with the Lord. Because at the end of the day, you are God, you're a Lord, you're a Savior, and you require to have the preeminence above everything else. And so help us to have a greater understanding of your word. And we love you, Lord. And we thank you. We pray these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Song number 119 is our last song, Till the Storm Passes By. Song number 119, song number 119, Till the Storm Passes By. We'll see you on that first verse. In the dark of the midnight, have I hid my face while the storm passes by.
