Hello, and welcome to
"Behold the Lamb" presents.
00:00:41.74\00:00:44.29
I am, Chris Shelton, your host
00:00:44.30\00:00:45.67
and we are excited
to join you for again
00:00:45.68\00:00:49.23
for another
spiritual, Bible, study.
00:00:49.24\00:00:52.01
Today's message is a
second in a two part series
00:00:52.02\00:00:55.04
that we have entitled
00:00:55.05\00:00:56.44
"Is It Time for
the Jews to Return?"
00:00:56.45\00:00:59.60
In part one, we began to examine
00:00:59.61\00:01:01.93
popular theories being
tossed around as to the event
00:01:01.94\00:01:05.80
soon to take place in our world
00:01:05.81\00:01:07.79
as foretold in scripture.
00:01:07.80\00:01:09.36
And what part the
literal Jewish nation
00:01:09.37\00:01:12.16
will play in this fulfillment.
00:01:12.17\00:01:14.39
You know, will there
be a time or possibly,
00:01:14.40\00:01:17.44
is it now a time for all,
Jews, to return to Israel.
00:01:17.45\00:01:21.49
And if they return what
is this say to rest of us
00:01:21.50\00:01:25.97
in the world about
our Lord's second coming.
00:01:25.98\00:01:28.69
Is this truly a sign a prophecy
00:01:28.70\00:01:31.04
being fulfilled
that we should be
00:01:31.05\00:01:33.55
focusing our time
and energies upon?
00:01:33.56\00:01:36.78
Will the, Jews, have
a pivotal part to play
00:01:36.79\00:01:39.95
in the future of
fulfillment of Daniel 9:27
00:01:39.96\00:01:43.47
where the, Bible, mentions
00:01:43.48\00:01:45.36
a one week period
of prophetic time.
00:01:45.37\00:01:47.99
Or you know, what about
the thousand year millennium
00:01:48.00\00:01:50.25
as spoken of in
the Book of Revelation.
00:01:50.26\00:01:52.78
How would the, Jews,
fit into this prophecy,
00:01:52.79\00:01:55.96
and is it true that
all, Jews, will be saved.
00:01:55.97\00:01:59.87
Once again so many questions
00:01:59.88\00:02:01.87
that so many people are
looking for answers too.
00:02:01.88\00:02:06.83
So let's get out our, Bibles,
00:02:06.84\00:02:08.73
and see what the, Lord, has
to say about these questions
00:02:08.74\00:02:11.92
as we study along
with, Pastor Kenny Shelton.
00:02:11.93\00:02:15.08
But first we are blessed
00:02:15.09\00:02:16.29
to visit the,
3ABN Worship Center,
00:02:16.30\00:02:18.53
and listen to a song entitled
00:02:18.54\00:02:20.76
"Shepherd of Love"
as sung by Derrick Hall.
00:02:20.77\00:02:24.46

-Shepherd
-Shepherd of Love, Love
00:06:19.04\00:06:37.14
Thanks for joining us
here again "Behold the Lamb."
00:06:39.11\00:06:41.39
Oh, we have such
an exciting study
00:06:41.40\00:06:43.69
and this is part two.
00:06:43.70\00:06:45.26
May if you missed part
one, "Oh, Bless Your Heart"
00:06:45.27\00:06:48.13
you want to go back and get it,
00:06:48.14\00:06:49.50
because it's very
imperative that we will.
00:06:49.51\00:06:52.89
We've a foundation,
we used the first part
00:06:52.90\00:06:55.41
in order to
establish some facts.
00:06:55.42\00:06:57.73
Now we're gonna come
through on the second part,
00:06:57.74\00:06:59.80
and it's entitled "Is It Time
for the Jews to Return" where?
00:06:59.81\00:07:03.34
Palestine, to going
back and many, Jews, are
00:07:03.35\00:07:07.46
and they say, it's
because, Jesus, is soon to come.
00:07:07.47\00:07:10.81
We need to establish
who really is, Israel,
00:07:10.82\00:07:14.62
because so many
promises were made to what?
00:07:14.63\00:07:16.81
To Israel! And some people say,
00:07:16.82\00:07:19.06
well, you know, it
has to be the bloodline.
00:07:19.07\00:07:20.69
We're looking
in scripture today,
00:07:20.70\00:07:21.97
we're going to find out,
00:07:21.98\00:07:23.44
because so many different
subjects are involved here,
00:07:23.45\00:07:28.39
and we're gonna have
prayer first and that's we do.
00:07:28.40\00:07:30.16
We're gonna just give
you in a little nutshell
00:07:30.17\00:07:32.60
of what we've
discussed in our first part.
00:07:32.61\00:07:34.70
Remember this is part two.
00:07:34.71\00:07:36.20
And as we do, you'll
jott these things down.
00:07:36.21\00:07:38.80
If you don't have it,
be sure and give us a call.
00:07:38.81\00:07:40.58
So we get these DVDs to
you 'cause you want to study,
00:07:40.59\00:07:44.02
you want to show your friends,
00:07:44.03\00:07:45.45
because I'm telling you,
00:07:45.46\00:07:46.43
there is some truths
that need to be uncovered,
00:07:46.44\00:07:49.26
if you haven't
studied this before.
00:07:49.27\00:07:50.71
Let's ask, God, for
His blessing, shall we?
00:07:50.72\00:07:52.70
As we go to Him in prayer,
00:07:52.71\00:07:54.04
I'm going to
kneel and where you can.
00:07:54.05\00:07:55.71
Why don't you
kneel with me and pray?
00:07:55.72\00:07:57.29
Merciful, Father, in Heaven,
00:07:59.71\00:08:00.72
we thank you for
the privilege of prayer.
00:08:00.73\00:08:02.45
We ask now for the
power of thy Holy Spirit.
00:08:02.46\00:08:05.16
Come near to our hearts.
00:08:05.17\00:08:06.14
O, Lord, take my heart,
00:08:06.15\00:08:07.19
take my mind,
take my whole being.
00:08:07.20\00:08:09.30
We pray that heaven will speak,
00:08:09.31\00:08:10.57
we will be able to hear
and those who are listening,
00:08:10.58\00:08:13.12
open the ears, the mind,
00:08:13.13\00:08:14.33
the eyes of each and every one
00:08:14.34\00:08:15.67
get all those
preconceived ideas,
00:08:15.68\00:08:17.50
all those teachings that maybe
00:08:17.51\00:08:19.23
we've had all of our life.
00:08:19.24\00:08:20.27
Lay them aside and
let, God, speak to us.
00:08:20.28\00:08:23.14
Thank you for hearing,
thank you for answering,
00:08:23.15\00:08:24.95
and thank you for sweet people
00:08:24.96\00:08:26.77
who love, Jesus,
00:08:26.78\00:08:27.77
who is willing to
take this time in study,
00:08:27.78\00:08:29.76
in Jesus' name, amen.
00:08:29.77\00:08:34.44
Well, again
sometimes it's important for us
00:08:34.45\00:08:36.17
and I've
mentioned every program.
00:08:36.18\00:08:37.41
I continually want
to do, because you think
00:08:37.42\00:08:39.29
you are going to remember
all the stuff that we cover.
00:08:39.30\00:08:41.92
Boy, we're really going to
cover today by, God's grace.
00:08:41.93\00:08:44.38
So sometime the pencil
is good, just jott down.
00:08:44.39\00:08:46.47
Oh, those who have short
hand just put it down to, okay.
00:08:46.48\00:08:49.85
Again we are studying
here, this is part two
00:08:49.86\00:08:51.50
"Is It Time for
the Jews to Return"
00:08:51.51\00:08:53.73
to go back, or really
who really is an Israelite.
00:08:53.74\00:08:58.77
In last part, the first
part we study this right here.
00:08:58.78\00:09:01.36
We made the statement,
read it from scripture
00:09:01.37\00:09:03.29
"All of,
Israel, shall be saved."
00:09:03.30\00:09:05.70
Wow, is that true or false?
00:09:05.71\00:09:06.94
All of, Israel, shall be saved.
00:09:06.95\00:09:08.89
There is movements in the land.
00:09:08.90\00:09:10.14
Point number
two, we talked about
00:09:10.15\00:09:11.43
there is
movements in the land today,
00:09:11.44\00:09:13.03
aiming to restore the
Jewish nation in Palestine.
00:09:13.04\00:09:17.44
So all these things
are in progress right now,
00:09:17.45\00:09:20.36
because they believe
that, Jesus, is coming,
00:09:20.37\00:09:22.42
He is going to
show up over there,
00:09:22.43\00:09:23.52
so we need to be
studying these things
00:09:23.53\00:09:25.35
to see whether
they will be saved.
00:09:25.36\00:09:27.34
We also study
where the new covenant
00:09:27.35\00:09:29.73
was made with,
Israel, and not the Gentiles.
00:09:29.74\00:09:33.34
So what do we gonna do?
00:09:33.35\00:09:34.57
Well, you have to be
sure, you get part number one,
00:09:34.58\00:09:36.75
because that's
very, very important.
00:09:36.76\00:09:38.22
Number four,
most the Protestant,
00:09:38.23\00:09:40.29
many Protestant groups are
00:09:40.30\00:09:41.62
keeping an eye on this movement.
00:09:41.63\00:09:43.96
They are keeping an eye on,
00:09:43.97\00:09:44.94
because they
believe that the, Bible,
00:09:44.95\00:09:47.00
some of the
prophecies point to this,
00:09:47.01\00:09:49.61
the coming of, Jesus,
00:09:49.62\00:09:50.63
and showing up over in Israel.
00:09:50.64\00:09:52.13
Well, what do you think
about as you study this,
00:09:52.14\00:09:53.98
this lesson with us?
00:09:53.99\00:09:55.75
We looked at, also the teachings
00:09:55.76\00:09:57.86
of various
groups, Protestant groups,
00:09:57.87\00:10:00.77
and they are calling
attention right now to what?
00:10:00.78\00:10:03.00
To the Second Coming of, Jesus,
00:10:03.01\00:10:04.70
and we should all be doing that,
00:10:04.71\00:10:06.17
because He is soon to
come in the clouds of glory,
00:10:06.18\00:10:09.07
and we need to be ready.
00:10:09.08\00:10:10.91
And they call
attention to four things
00:10:10.92\00:10:13.08
we've mentioned
in our first study.
00:10:13.09\00:10:14.64
They call attention to
the purpose of His coming,
00:10:14.65\00:10:17.86
the manner of His
coming, the signs of His coming,
00:10:17.87\00:10:21.84
and the events that are
connected with His coming.
00:10:21.85\00:10:25.87
These are all good things.
00:10:25.88\00:10:27.50
But we'll now step
to another part here.
00:10:27.51\00:10:29.79
We're talking
about some teachings here
00:10:29.80\00:10:31.45
that we talked about.
00:10:31.46\00:10:32.82
We call it interdenominational
movements that's going on.
00:10:32.83\00:10:37.19
And so that means a
lot of different people
00:10:37.20\00:10:39.05
from different backgrounds
and different church groups
00:10:39.06\00:10:41.55
are involved in this
and their thinking is a long
00:10:41.56\00:10:44.45
this line that we set
up in our first study.
00:10:44.46\00:10:47.11
Really who is an Israelite?
00:10:47.12\00:10:48.90
Or the promises of
that, God, has made,
00:10:48.91\00:10:51.90
it's going to be fulfilled
just through the bloodline,
00:10:51.91\00:10:54.14
or it's going to be
through the, Gentiles,
00:10:54.15\00:10:55.59
the New Testament Church,
00:10:55.60\00:10:56.94
this is what we
have to figure out.
00:10:56.95\00:10:58.69
Also we found
that many of the things
00:10:58.70\00:11:00.66
that we talked about
deals with the prophecy
00:11:00.67\00:11:03.04
which must be examined.
00:11:03.05\00:11:04.63
And we're gonna have to exam
them closer than ever before.
00:11:04.64\00:11:06.96
For instance, we
were talking about here,
00:11:06.97\00:11:09.34
we just said, the Second Coming.
00:11:09.35\00:11:11.19
So these are doctrinal teachings
00:11:11.20\00:11:13.88
that this way we're
spinning this much time on,
00:11:13.89\00:11:16.31
because there is many
misconceptions in the world
00:11:16.32\00:11:19.29
about the coming of,
Jesus, and so it's mentioned
00:11:19.30\00:11:22.19
in this prophecies
about the, Jews, returning.
00:11:22.20\00:11:26.11
Again the Second Coming,
00:11:26.12\00:11:27.26
it's talking
about the seven years,
00:11:27.27\00:11:29.52
the last week of the seventies,
00:11:29.53\00:11:31.58
some of you've been studying
this prophecy of Daniel 9.
00:11:31.59\00:11:34.12
You have the
rapture that's involved,
00:11:34.13\00:11:36.14
you have the
antichrist, that's involved
00:11:36.15\00:11:38.19
three-and-half
year period there.
00:11:38.20\00:11:40.36
You have a death decree.
00:11:40.37\00:11:41.51
You have the
great time of trouble.
00:11:41.52\00:11:43.40
You have the millennium
which is involved here.
00:11:43.41\00:11:45.97
You have the-where it says,
00:11:45.98\00:11:47.22
the whole world is
going to be converted.
00:11:47.23\00:11:49.02
You have the thousand
years of that called peace.
00:11:49.03\00:11:52.06
And then you also have
the destruction of the wicked.
00:11:52.07\00:11:54.63
You see how many things
that we've talked about here.
00:11:54.64\00:11:57.12
These are doctrinal subjects
00:11:57.13\00:11:59.29
that are involved
in this one teaching
00:11:59.30\00:12:01.13
talked about the second coming.
00:12:01.14\00:12:02.76
So we need to be
clear on this information.
00:12:02.77\00:12:05.49
Now what we went over
00:12:05.50\00:12:07.13
and what you've been
reading from scripture
00:12:07.14\00:12:08.70
is an important
that to be truth.
00:12:08.71\00:12:11.40
Is it contrary the scripture,
00:12:11.41\00:12:12.79
or does it go
along with scripture.
00:12:12.80\00:12:15.20
What was contrary to scripture?
00:12:15.21\00:12:18.30
What if all these teaching
and millions are involved
00:12:18.31\00:12:20.68
in this process
that we're gonna go back
00:12:20.69\00:12:23.24
and rapture in
the thousand years
00:12:23.25\00:12:25.83
and seven year
period and all this thing.
00:12:25.84\00:12:27.96
If they really believe
it with all their heart,
00:12:27.97\00:12:30.75
friend, they may have
find out if it's not truth,
00:12:30.76\00:12:33.75
that they're gonna
be very disappointed.
00:12:33.76\00:12:35.97
They may give up
their Christian experience,
00:12:35.98\00:12:38.09
because they put
everything into this,
00:12:38.10\00:12:41.09
but they've not
been putting enough time,
00:12:41.10\00:12:42.74
maybe into study of God's word.
00:12:42.75\00:12:45.17
Many believe in the,
second coming of Jesus today,
00:12:45.18\00:12:48.13
but listen to this, this
is the thing that gets people.
00:12:48.14\00:12:50.13
They are going to be unprepared,
00:12:50.14\00:12:52.22
that's exactly
what the devil wants.
00:12:52.23\00:12:54.96
He wants us to be
unprepared for His coming.
00:12:54.97\00:12:59.06
Now some people write,
they don't like the word
00:12:59.07\00:13:01.33
when I use a prepare.
00:13:01.34\00:13:03.44
But, you know what,
bless my poorer heart,
00:13:03.45\00:13:05.63
I'm just going to use
it over and over and over
00:13:05.64\00:13:07.30
'cause I believe
that we have to prepare.
00:13:07.31\00:13:10.56
Isn't that funny when
you going to have supper
00:13:10.57\00:13:13.03
you prepare, you go
to school you prepare,
00:13:13.04\00:13:15.49
you go to-- you need
to work, you prepare.
00:13:15.50\00:13:17.36
Everything that you do in life,
00:13:17.37\00:13:20.71
you prepare for it.
00:13:20.72\00:13:21.85
You prepare for vacation,
you prepare to go here,
00:13:21.86\00:13:24.61
and that's all fine,
00:13:24.62\00:13:26.20
except when you
talk about prepare
00:13:26.21\00:13:27.81
for the, coming of Jesus,
00:13:27.82\00:13:29.08
and you say, well, we
don't want to prepare,
00:13:29.09\00:13:30.66
we're just going
to kind of set it out.
00:13:30.67\00:13:32.29
And when He comes He
is going to take us on.
00:13:32.30\00:13:33.62
No, you got to prepare,
so I'm gonna use it again.
00:13:33.63\00:13:35.65
We've got to prepare
for the, coming of Jesus.
00:13:35.66\00:13:38.03
We also figured as we
study that we must study
00:13:38.04\00:13:41.20
the purpose of
the, coming of Jesus.
00:13:41.21\00:13:43.70
We must study
the, promises of Jesus,
00:13:43.71\00:13:46.08
and the, prophecies of Jesus,
and we put these together,
00:13:46.09\00:13:49.10
we will find out the real truth
00:13:49.11\00:13:50.51
that we want to
really get in today
00:13:50.52\00:13:52.30
to the real meat of the word.
00:13:52.31\00:13:54.68
That the first, problem,
I must say the first problem
00:13:54.69\00:13:57.75
we talked about the
beliefs of other folks.
00:13:57.76\00:14:00.24
Now we're gonna be talking about
00:14:00.25\00:14:01.22
the beliefs in the Bible.
00:14:01.23\00:14:03.33
The first problem we come up
00:14:03.34\00:14:04.43
with is one in
the very beginning
00:14:04.44\00:14:05.95
because in Genesis Chapter 13,
00:14:05.96\00:14:08.23
you read your, Bible,
and when you have time,
00:14:08.24\00:14:10.44
read verses like 14 through 17
00:14:10.45\00:14:12.98
because this was the promise
00:14:12.99\00:14:14.56
that was given to
Abraham, you remember?
00:14:14.57\00:14:17.03
It says that
00:14:17.04\00:14:18.01
"All the families of the earth
00:14:18.02\00:14:19.91
should be
blessed through," whom?
00:14:19.92\00:14:21.90
Good, "through Abraham."
00:14:21.91\00:14:23.53
Now let see, some of
you didn't get that already.
00:14:23.54\00:14:26.77
Because you say, well,
no, that's just the bloodline.
00:14:26.78\00:14:28.71
No, the, Bible,
doesn't read that way.
00:14:28.72\00:14:30.41
It says that
00:14:30.42\00:14:31.45
"All the families of the earth
00:14:31.46\00:14:34.24
should be blessed."
00:14:34.25\00:14:35.83
Problem number one
then, so the territory
00:14:35.84\00:14:38.83
and the promise includes, what?
00:14:38.84\00:14:41.26
The whole world everybody in it,
00:14:41.27\00:14:44.24
not just a group this--
We've got to contemplate
00:14:44.25\00:14:46.98
this now though may you've been
00:14:46.99\00:14:48.32
taught the other
way, contemplate it.
00:14:48.33\00:14:50.49
This promise was
not to be fulfilled
00:14:50.50\00:14:52.97
in the bloodline or the descent,
00:14:52.98\00:14:56.06
you know, taking
about there, or the race.
00:14:56.07\00:14:59.43
Anyway you put it,
it's bigger than that,
00:14:59.44\00:15:01.55
it includes the whole world.
00:15:01.56\00:15:03.47
Now you don't talk,
but it would accomplished,
00:15:03.48\00:15:06.18
through notice this and
I'm going to read scripture.
00:15:06.19\00:15:08.53
It's going to be accomplished,
00:15:08.54\00:15:09.99
this promise
was given to Abraham
00:15:10.00\00:15:11.36
will be accomplished through
the righteousness of, Christ.
00:15:11.37\00:15:16.45
The righteousness, what?
00:15:16.46\00:15:18.06
By faith, our faith,
00:15:18.07\00:15:20.49
which includes all
nations of the world.
00:15:20.50\00:15:23.42
Let me read a passage on that,
00:15:23.43\00:15:24.74
it might help you,
Romans Chapter 4 verse 13.
00:15:24.75\00:15:28.69
Bible, says this, "The promise,
00:15:28.70\00:15:30.37
that he should be
the heir of the world,
00:15:30.38\00:15:33.24
was not to Abraham."
00:15:33.25\00:15:35.69
We have been reading
that the promises were what?
00:15:35.70\00:15:38.30
Through
Abraham, through Abraham,
00:15:38.31\00:15:40.34
but here it says, here "that
it should heir of the world,
00:15:40.35\00:15:42.99
was not to
Abraham, or to his seed,
00:15:43.00\00:15:47.34
through the law,
00:15:47.35\00:15:48.53
but through the
righteousness of faith."
00:15:48.54\00:15:53.10
The heir of these promises,
00:15:53.11\00:15:54.56
it comes through the
righteousness of faith.
00:15:54.57\00:15:57.36
What does that mean
00:15:57.37\00:15:58.34
righteousness of faith, faith?
00:15:58.35\00:16:00.19
You think about the world,
00:16:00.20\00:16:01.74
you know, it was
lost because of, what?
00:16:01.75\00:16:04.21
Sin, good, sin!
00:16:04.22\00:16:05.59
It's going to be
restored through, what?
00:16:05.60\00:16:07.55
Abraham's seed.
00:16:07.56\00:16:09.78
A people that would be holy,
00:16:09.79\00:16:11.20
a people that would be righteous
00:16:11.21\00:16:13.16
like in the beginning.
00:16:13.17\00:16:15.46
It's very interesting,
he's talking about what?
00:16:15.47\00:16:17.34
Jesus Christ here,
00:16:17.35\00:16:19.41
that we must
accept Him in our hearts,
00:16:19.42\00:16:21.19
in our life, we
must be born again.
00:16:21.20\00:16:24.75
It's very interesting meaning
00:16:24.76\00:16:27.16
and I-- you got to be respectful
00:16:27.17\00:16:28.65
about the meanings of Jews,
they're gonna believe that,
00:16:28.66\00:16:30.28
Jesus, has even come yet.
00:16:30.29\00:16:32.86
But it says, the
righteousness what?
00:16:32.87\00:16:34.83
A faith, through faith.
00:16:34.84\00:16:37.15
Righteousness of
Christ, is how these promises
00:16:37.16\00:16:40.06
then are going to be fulfilled
00:16:40.07\00:16:42.25
in His people or in Israel.
00:16:42.26\00:16:44.46
So let's open our minds now.
00:16:44.47\00:16:46.29
It's interesting
how, God, chose Abraham.
00:16:46.30\00:16:50.31
Have you ever thought about it?
00:16:50.32\00:16:52.20
God chose Abraham.
00:16:52.21\00:16:53.97
Why did He choose
Abraham of all the people?
00:16:53.98\00:16:57.43
Interesting
what the, Bible, says
00:16:57.44\00:16:58.68
there in Genesis 20:18.
00:16:58.69\00:17:00.95
The, Bible, simply says
00:17:00.96\00:17:01.94
"Because thou
hast obeyed my voice."
00:17:01.95\00:17:05.96
Listen carefully "Because
thou hast obeyed my voice."
00:17:05.97\00:17:10.79
And then verse 16 you drop down,
00:17:10.80\00:17:12.46
it says this, "It tells that,
00:17:12.47\00:17:13.77
that "He obeyed, God,
00:17:13.78\00:17:15.95
when he was told
to sacrifice his son."
00:17:15.96\00:17:20.69
Very interesting,
00:17:20.70\00:17:21.67
so "Because thou
has done this thing"
00:17:21.68\00:17:25.25
God, says "and not
withheld thine only son."
00:17:25.26\00:17:29.70
So, God, said, I
am going to bless,
00:17:29.71\00:17:31.21
Abraham, and his seed,
because he obeyed my voice.
00:17:31.22\00:17:35.73
So, so far we're
having some problems
00:17:35.74\00:17:37.78
with-it's the
blessings, it's gonna be
00:17:37.79\00:17:39.89
just on a certain
race or certain group,
00:17:39.90\00:17:41.92
because first
of all it was what?
00:17:41.93\00:17:43.59
The blessings were to
be to be to all the what?
00:17:43.60\00:17:45.81
Included the world.
00:17:45.82\00:17:48.02
It wasn't going to
come through Abraham.
00:17:48.03\00:17:49.35
Was that, Abraham, and his seed,
00:17:49.36\00:17:50.57
but really what was it through?
00:17:50.58\00:17:51.86
It said through the,
righteousness of Christ.
00:17:51.87\00:17:55.51
Through what? Through faith!
00:17:55.52\00:17:57.25
And now we come to the point,
00:17:57.26\00:17:58.80
God, said, I am going
to bless you, Abraham,
00:17:58.81\00:18:00.61
because you were what?
00:18:00.62\00:18:02.23
Obedient! So would
the promise has come
00:18:02.24\00:18:05.13
through a group,
that's not obedient? No.
00:18:05.14\00:18:07.08
Would it come through a
group that's not faithful? No.
00:18:07.09\00:18:09.72
Not accepted,
righteousness of Christ,
00:18:09.73\00:18:11.82
never been converted,
don't believe the, Jesus.
00:18:11.83\00:18:14.35
No, the answer is
pretty simple, isn't it?
00:18:14.36\00:18:17.04
No, it couldn't happen that way.
00:18:17.05\00:18:20.16
Have you thought
about, you put, Abraham, here
00:18:20.17\00:18:22.36
and what he went through?
00:18:22.37\00:18:24.25
It was designed by, God.
00:18:24.26\00:18:27.19
Oh, so what?
00:18:27.20\00:18:28.17
So, Abraham,
could better understand
00:18:28.18\00:18:30.42
the plan of salvation
and the plan of redemption.
00:18:30.43\00:18:34.00
As, Abraham, was
going to offer, what?
00:18:34.01\00:18:35.86
His only son.
00:18:35.87\00:18:37.33
Take that in mind, he is God,
00:18:37.34\00:18:38.91
is willing to give up
his son to come down here.
00:18:38.92\00:18:41.70
So it's all designed by, God.
00:18:41.71\00:18:43.74
See I am thankful.
00:18:43.75\00:18:44.95
I don't know about
you, but I'm very thankful
00:18:44.96\00:18:46.55
as I study this scripture,
00:18:46.56\00:18:47.69
the many promises
that are in scripture,
00:18:47.70\00:18:50.47
and the
fulfillment of these promises
00:18:50.48\00:18:52.50
as you read them
here, especially, listen,
00:18:52.51\00:18:55.00
especially in the Old Testament
00:18:55.01\00:18:56.99
are explained in
the New Testament.
00:18:57.00\00:18:59.70
See sometimes they are difficult
00:18:59.71\00:19:00.95
just take the Old
Testament, say, oh, was it?
00:19:00.96\00:19:03.55
They are explained
in the New Testament
00:19:03.56\00:19:05.63
for those who want to.
Let me give an example.
00:19:05.64\00:19:08.12
In Galatians Chapter 3 verse 16.
00:19:08.13\00:19:11.40
It says, "Now to, Abraham,
00:19:11.41\00:19:13.26
and his seed were
the promises made."
00:19:13.27\00:19:15.69
You will say, well,
that's got to be there.
00:19:15.70\00:19:17.21
Well, listen now.
00:19:17.22\00:19:18.38
"He saith not to
seeds, as of many,
00:19:18.39\00:19:23.11
but as of one, And that to
thy seed, which is Christ."
00:19:23.12\00:19:30.65
Wow! All these promises
is going to be given to us
00:19:30.66\00:19:33.25
in eternal life and
all the promises that,
00:19:33.26\00:19:35.12
God, has made His word
is going to be through what?
00:19:35.13\00:19:37.35
Not a man, but it's
going to be through what?
00:19:37.36\00:19:39.73
Through, Jesus Christ!
00:19:39.74\00:19:41.25
The seed-- did you get
it, Abraham, and his seed
00:19:41.26\00:19:45.08
where the promises made
00:19:45.09\00:19:46.36
but he saith not to
the seeds as of many,
00:19:46.37\00:19:49.40
but unto one and thy
seed which is Christ.
00:19:49.41\00:19:53.98
It's starting to make me
00:19:53.99\00:19:54.98
think along the line just here,
00:19:54.99\00:19:56.75
just a little bit here
that, God, has the big picture
00:19:56.76\00:19:59.47
that we need to
be looking at here.
00:19:59.48\00:20:01.69
And so the seed then is who?
00:20:01.70\00:20:03.23
Good, Christ! Will all
the blessings be fulfilled,
00:20:03.24\00:20:08.00
but it's gonna
be fulfilled through
00:20:08.01\00:20:09.52
those who follow
and accept Christ.
00:20:09.53\00:20:12.59
You have to follow
Him and you have to be,
00:20:12.60\00:20:15.40
have to accept Him
as, Lord, the Savior.
00:20:15.41\00:20:18.03
See He promises
to the overcomer.
00:20:18.04\00:20:20.11
We got to be an overcomer.
00:20:20.12\00:20:21.09
You know, Revelation 21:7 says,
00:20:21.10\00:20:24.19
"The overcometh
shall inherit all things,
00:20:24.20\00:20:27.19
I will be his, God,"
00:20:27.20\00:20:28.91
and notice "He shall be my" good
00:20:28.92\00:20:31.39
"He shall my
Son." Oh, that's good.
00:20:31.40\00:20:34.44
So the promise here
then includes everything,
00:20:34.45\00:20:37.51
everyone and I just,
I just present this too?
00:20:37.52\00:20:40.47
Could we really
ask for anything more,
00:20:40.48\00:20:43.83
than what, God, has promised
00:20:43.84\00:20:45.06
and what, God, is doing for us.
00:20:45.07\00:20:46.20
Could we really just
stand, ask for anything more,
00:20:46.21\00:20:48.46
oh, not at all.
00:20:48.47\00:20:50.40
God said, I am
going to be with you.
00:20:50.41\00:20:51.68
I am going to bless you.
00:20:51.69\00:20:54.07
Now listen, where did
the name, Israel, come from?
00:20:54.08\00:20:56.74
Let's-- you know, I can
get down to the netted grid.
00:20:56.75\00:20:58.94
We build it up, we talk
about the different things
00:20:58.95\00:21:00.95
and even that
the passive scripture
00:21:00.96\00:21:02.68
seemed to
indicate that only Israel,
00:21:02.69\00:21:04.77
you know, it's going to saved,
00:21:04.78\00:21:06.57
all of, Israel, be saved.
00:21:06.58\00:21:08.81
Who really is Israel?
00:21:08.82\00:21:10.54
And where did
the name come from?
00:21:10.55\00:21:12.35
Well, Bible,
says in Genesis 32:28.
00:21:12.36\00:21:15.65
Let me just read that for you,
00:21:15.66\00:21:16.63
he said, "And he said,
00:21:16.64\00:21:17.67
Thy name shall
be called no more"
00:21:17.68\00:21:19.52
you know, come on "no
more Jacob, but" what?
00:21:19.53\00:21:22.78
"But Israel as for a
prince has thou power with God
00:21:22.79\00:21:28.18
and with men,"
listen to the words
00:21:28.19\00:21:30.43
"and hast prevailed."
00:21:30.44\00:21:33.00
Because, what?
00:21:33.01\00:21:34.03
Getting hold of
the hand of, God,
00:21:34.04\00:21:36.31
he says, thy
name no more, Jacob,
00:21:36.32\00:21:38.50
any more, but it's Israel.
00:21:38.51\00:21:40.34
So Israel been must
be what? An overcomer.
00:21:40.35\00:21:44.12
Israel has to be, what?
00:21:44.13\00:21:46.18
They had to prevail
with, God, and with men,
00:21:46.19\00:21:51.26
that's what the, Bible, says.
00:21:51.27\00:21:53.21
And so they have that power,
00:21:53.22\00:21:54.56
so there has to be
something dealing with power,
00:21:54.57\00:21:57.00
has to be
something that's dealing with
00:21:57.01\00:21:59.76
Jew yank up by Jacob in Israel.
00:21:59.77\00:22:02.07
There has to be
something special
00:22:02.08\00:22:03.50
that's going on here in our mind
00:22:03.51\00:22:04.82
as we read these here.
00:22:04.83\00:22:06.64
And it's interesting,
little bit later on,
00:22:06.65\00:22:09.34
because we're trying
to, we're trying to isolate,
00:22:09.35\00:22:11.61
Israel, with a
certain little group,
00:22:11.62\00:22:13.73
or people, or race.
00:22:13.74\00:22:16.32
But, God, is opening up to us.
00:22:16.33\00:22:18.41
You remember later
descendants of Jacob,
00:22:18.42\00:22:21.42
the grand son of
Abraham, you know, what he said,
00:22:21.43\00:22:24.88
they were known as
the tribes of Israel.
00:22:24.89\00:22:29.55
That's interesting thought,
00:22:29.56\00:22:30.53
though you've been
doing some studies,
00:22:30.54\00:22:31.73
you remember the
12 tribes of, Israel.
00:22:31.74\00:22:33.73
And remember
when we say, Israel,
00:22:33.74\00:22:34.77
I'm going to mention
again a little bit later
00:22:34.78\00:22:36.14
but it deals with character.
00:22:36.15\00:22:40.36
You will fit under one
of the tribes of Israel.
00:22:40.37\00:22:44.13
Let me make this bold statement.
00:22:44.14\00:22:45.57
Everyone will have to
be-Ooh, be careful now.
00:22:45.58\00:22:48.14
There had to be an, Israelite,
00:22:48.15\00:22:49.52
before they enter
the portals of glory.
00:22:49.53\00:22:52.98
You're gonna say,
ooh, boy, how does--.
00:22:52.99\00:22:54.87
Don't get confused about
it, you need to listen it.
00:22:54.88\00:22:57.49
So the term,
Israel, as used what?
00:22:57.50\00:22:59.59
In scripture here,
it's used not merely to
00:22:59.60\00:23:02.75
identify a
certain group of people,
00:23:02.76\00:23:05.82
it's more than that.
00:23:05.83\00:23:07.68
But rather, what? Good.
00:23:07.69\00:23:09.70
You just say, character.
00:23:09.71\00:23:11.91
That's what it
talk about in scripture.
00:23:11.92\00:23:14.37
Sure, it applies
to a certain race,
00:23:14.38\00:23:17.53
and sure we say, well, it's not,
00:23:17.54\00:23:19.14
it's not applied that wa
all throughout scripture.
00:23:19.15\00:23:23.74
And so we have to
balance it out with the word.
00:23:23.75\00:23:26.11
In the, Bible,
Israel, is described there
00:23:26.12\00:23:29.26
or it tells us
about the character,
00:23:29.27\00:23:32.64
or the spiritual
condition of man.
00:23:32.65\00:23:35.60
So an, Israelite, then and what?
00:23:35.61\00:23:37.40
And character.
00:23:37.41\00:23:38.56
You got to weigh him up here.
00:23:38.57\00:23:40.22
If you are an, Israelite,
how is your character?
00:23:40.23\00:23:42.74
If you are a part of the 12
tribes you're gonna fit under
00:23:42.75\00:23:44.90
one of those tribe
your characteristic,
00:23:44.91\00:23:47.15
after all, all you
take to heaven is what?
00:23:47.16\00:23:48.89
Good, your character.
00:23:48.90\00:23:51.25
An, Israelite, then is
one who prevails with, God,
00:23:51.26\00:23:56.55
and man, that's
what the, Bible, say.
00:23:56.56\00:23:58.52
You will say, well, I
haven't been quite getting that.
00:23:58.53\00:24:00.72
Listen, in the New Testament,
Paul, puts it this way
00:24:00.73\00:24:03.18
and it becomes very clear.
00:24:03.19\00:24:04.82
In Galatians
Chapter 6 verse 15 and 16.
00:24:04.83\00:24:09.14
Here is what Paul said,
he said, "In Jesus Christ,
00:24:09.15\00:24:11.74
neither
circumcision availeth any thing,
00:24:11.75\00:24:14.97
nor uncricumcision,
but a new creature."
00:24:14.98\00:24:19.59
Oh! "And as many as
walk according to the rule,
00:24:19.60\00:24:23.32
peace be on the, and mercy,
and upon the Israel of God."
00:24:23.33\00:24:29.58
Paul said, the Israelite is not,
00:24:29.59\00:24:31.42
I'm not talking
about just a race,
00:24:31.43\00:24:33.82
or what they did
or what they held up
00:24:33.83\00:24:35.87
as-- this is God's family.
00:24:35.88\00:24:38.30
He said, that so
the, Israel of God,
00:24:38.31\00:24:40.81
are those who obtain
00:24:40.82\00:24:42.60
an experience of becoming, what?
00:24:42.61\00:24:45.33
A new creature, a new
creation in Jesus Christ,
00:24:45.34\00:24:49.08
those who have been, what?
00:24:49.09\00:24:50.66
Converted! Wow!
00:24:50.67\00:24:53.80
Friend, are you
new creation in Christ?
00:24:53.81\00:24:56.38
Have you been converted?
00:24:56.39\00:24:58.22
You are an Israelite.
00:24:58.23\00:25:00.61
That's what, God says.
00:25:00.62\00:25:01.81
Promises to all the family
and it's through the sink,
00:25:01.82\00:25:04.40
not just the
mankind, but it's through,
00:25:04.41\00:25:07.25
Jesus Christ, what? By faith.
00:25:07.26\00:25:09.37
By obedience to His word.
00:25:09.38\00:25:11.22
By accepting Him
as, Lord and Savior.
00:25:11.23\00:25:13.53
Those promises
apply to us today.
00:25:13.54\00:25:16.90
Let me just read
a couple of quick--
00:25:16.91\00:25:19.14
I think some
couple of verses in just,
00:25:19.15\00:25:22.03
oh, now become so clear to us.
00:25:22.04\00:25:24.43
Romans, you have your, Bible
00:25:24.44\00:25:25.66
turn with me Romans Chapter 2,
00:25:25.67\00:25:28.14
and then we're gonna
go to Romans Chapter 9.
00:25:28.15\00:25:30.35
So let's read a
couple of verses there
00:25:30.36\00:25:32.27
that makes us so clear.
00:25:32.28\00:25:33.50
And remember at
the first program
00:25:33.51\00:25:36.10
that we did, we read some
of the passages of scripture
00:25:36.11\00:25:40.03
that really seemed to
indicate a certain direction,
00:25:40.04\00:25:44.20
and so don't
overlook these other passage
00:25:44.21\00:25:46.22
in the New Testament that's
leading in a direction that,
00:25:46.23\00:25:49.18
God, has
intended in New Testament.
00:25:49.19\00:25:51.66
Don't overlook
them, they are clear.
00:25:51.67\00:25:53.15
How can we overlook this,
Romans Chapter 2:28 and 29
00:25:53.16\00:25:58.27
'cause it was going through
00:25:58.28\00:25:59.33
this the righteousness by faith.
00:25:59.34\00:26:01.68
And here is what
verses 28 and 29 says,
00:26:01.69\00:26:05.39
there in Romans Chapter.
00:26:05.40\00:26:06.67
Where am I? At Romans Chapter 2.
00:26:06.68\00:26:08.06
Okay, Romans Chapter 2,
00:26:08.07\00:26:09.45
I'm gonna read verses 28 and 29.
00:26:09.46\00:26:11.74
It says, "For he is not a Jew,"
00:26:15.79\00:26:19.55
notice "He is not a
Jew, which is one outwardly,
00:26:19.56\00:26:23.72
neither is that circumcision,
00:26:23.73\00:26:26.21
which is outward in the flesh.
00:26:26.22\00:26:29.15
But he is a Jew, which is" What?
00:26:29.16\00:26:31.30
"One inwardly, and circumcision
00:26:31.31\00:26:34.89
is that of the
heart, and in the spirit,
00:26:34.90\00:26:39.12
and not in the letter,
whose praise is not of men,
00:26:39.13\00:26:42.91
but" What? "But of God."
00:26:42.92\00:26:44.99
Well, these are powerful hymn.
00:26:45.00\00:26:47.35
Paul, is pointing
out who is a real Jew?
00:26:47.36\00:26:49.59
Who is a real Israelite here?
00:26:49.60\00:26:51.62
He says, not all
these outward things here
00:26:51.63\00:26:53.41
but it's what? It's
not the bloodline, is it.
00:26:53.42\00:26:56.26
He is talking
about the new heart
00:26:56.27\00:26:57.86
experience to be
converted, to live by faith,
00:26:57.87\00:27:01.41
to be obedient to God's word.
00:27:01.42\00:27:03.84
And then in Romans Chapter 9,
00:27:03.85\00:27:06.02
we had more time we'll
spend with, Romans Chapter 9,
00:27:06.03\00:27:08.44
this is homework for you.
00:27:08.45\00:27:10.11
You jott this down, you
begin to really study what?
00:27:10.12\00:27:12.36
Because the world
is being led astray
00:27:12.37\00:27:14.76
by the lies of the devil.
00:27:14.77\00:27:17.33
Every subject matter
that we talked about,
00:27:17.34\00:27:19.44
we first came on here.
00:27:19.45\00:27:20.68
The devil has twisted
it, he has mingled it,
00:27:20.69\00:27:23.17
he has confused the minds
00:27:23.18\00:27:24.63
and till even somebody
who says they understand it,
00:27:24.64\00:27:26.92
they get confused sometime.
00:27:26.93\00:27:29.11
But, you know, the
gospel is simple enough
00:27:29.12\00:27:31.06
that a child can understand.
00:27:31.07\00:27:33.40
And the devil has
complicated and twisted it.
00:27:33.41\00:27:36.11
And in order to try, to
have to make any kind of sense,
00:27:36.12\00:27:38.74
you have to take
things out of context.
00:27:38.75\00:27:40.89
You've got to twist it
again to try to make it say,
00:27:40.90\00:27:42.78
well, you wanted to say.
00:27:42.79\00:27:44.19
Friend, don't do that,
00:27:44.20\00:27:45.17
let the, Bible,
interpret itself.
00:27:45.18\00:27:47.19
What it say? Just
read the, word of God.
00:27:47.20\00:27:48.93
Notice with me Romans
Chapter 9 verse 6 through 8.
00:27:48.94\00:27:52.10
Now I know there are
times where we got to hurry
00:27:52.11\00:27:54.39
but all stay with me on this.
00:27:54.40\00:27:56.30
You said, oh, I just-oh, now,
00:27:56.31\00:27:58.09
let the, spirit of God,
00:27:58.10\00:27:59.22
come into your
heart, into your mind.
00:27:59.23\00:28:01.08
Quit saying I
can't understand it.
00:28:01.09\00:28:02.80
Now you can understand it.
00:28:02.81\00:28:04.42
If you invite the Holy Spirit
00:28:04.43\00:28:06.14
to give you proper understanding
00:28:06.15\00:28:07.69
and then you are
willing to put some effort
00:28:07.70\00:28:10.26
in the studying the word of God.
00:28:10.27\00:28:11.75
He will make it clear to you.
00:28:11.76\00:28:13.07
Starting with verse
6, Romans Chapter 9.
00:28:13.08\00:28:16.62
"Not as though the word of God,
00:28:16.63\00:28:18.02
hath taken none effect.
00:28:18.03\00:28:21.68
For they are" Listen
"For they are not all Israel,
00:28:21.69\00:28:27.35
which are of Israel."
00:28:27.36\00:28:30.26
When we say that is very clear
00:28:30.27\00:28:31.99
what it's talking about, we say,
00:28:32.00\00:28:33.20
oh, I don't get that
because all that which is,
00:28:33.21\00:28:35.62
Israel, is not, Israel.
00:28:35.63\00:28:37.54
That means, you've
got something there
00:28:37.55\00:28:38.78
that you know,
they might be born again
00:28:38.79\00:28:40.15
the love of, Jesus,
and you've got those in,
00:28:40.16\00:28:41.38
enter just like in your church.
00:28:41.39\00:28:42.91
You've got some
who are born again,
00:28:42.92\00:28:44.04
you've got some who are not.
00:28:44.05\00:28:46.37
Well, I belong to
such and such church,
00:28:46.38\00:28:47.79
you've got some who love, Jesus,
00:28:47.80\00:28:48.98
and you've got some who maybe,
00:28:48.99\00:28:49.96
they're not loving, Jesus.
00:28:49.97\00:28:50.96
You follow what I
am talking about here.
00:28:50.97\00:28:52.89
Those verse 7 with me,
00:28:52.90\00:28:55.16
"Neither, because they
are the seed of Abraham,
00:28:55.17\00:28:57.99
are they all children"
00:28:58.00\00:29:01.07
they says, well,
because we are Abraham seed,
00:29:01.08\00:29:02.85
we are heirs according to word.
00:29:02.86\00:29:03.95
The, Bible, said,
"Neither because they are
00:29:03.96\00:29:05.82
the seed of Abraham,
are they all children
00:29:05.83\00:29:09.44
but, in Isaac shall
thy seed be called."
00:29:09.45\00:29:11.92
" Verse 8 "That is,
00:29:11.93\00:29:13.57
which are the
children of the flesh,
00:29:13.58\00:29:16.90
these are not
the children of God,
00:29:16.91\00:29:18.99
if you are child of flesh today,
00:29:19.00\00:29:20.88
you are not a child of, God,
00:29:20.89\00:29:22.71
but the children of the promise
00:29:22.72\00:29:24.74
are counted for his seed."
00:29:24.75\00:29:27.13
Now notice in verse 6, it says,
00:29:27.14\00:29:29.17
"For they are not all
Israel, which are of Israel."
00:29:29.18\00:29:33.38
So what does that say,
00:29:33.39\00:29:34.41
not all the
descendents really what?
00:29:34.42\00:29:38.29
Belong to Israel in
the spiritual sins."
00:29:38.30\00:29:42.13
And then it goes on the promise,
00:29:42.14\00:29:44.28
it's simply limited to those
00:29:44.29\00:29:46.28
who meet
conditions of the covenant
00:29:46.29\00:29:49.77
and it includes
faith and it includes,
00:29:49.78\00:29:52.14
what? Obedience.
00:29:52.15\00:29:55.12
Righteousness of Christ.
00:29:55.13\00:29:58.05
And then it talks about
00:29:58.06\00:29:59.03
there, are the children of God,
00:29:59.04\00:30:00.60
but the children of promise
are counted for his seed.
00:30:00.61\00:30:03.45
Remember this, jott it down.
00:30:03.46\00:30:05.07
Remember, spiritual
blessings are not inherited,
00:30:05.08\00:30:10.40
you know, we talk by
inherited by natural descent.
00:30:10.41\00:30:14.41
So what does that
say, spiritual blessing,
00:30:14.42\00:30:16.73
well, I am going to
get spiritual blessing
00:30:16.74\00:30:17.95
because I am of
the bloodline, no.
00:30:17.96\00:30:21.58
You will not. You
must be a child of God.
00:30:21.59\00:30:23.41
You had to have
faith and obedience.
00:30:23.42\00:30:26.08
You remember talk
about the bloodline,
00:30:26.09\00:30:28.01
remember, Abraham,
'cause you know the story
00:30:28.02\00:30:30.21
about, you know, he had
the bond slave, or servant.
00:30:30.22\00:30:35.15
And so he had two sons,
00:30:35.16\00:30:36.20
we'd just condense
it down here real quick.
00:30:36.21\00:30:38.21
Abraham had
what-- it says two sons.
00:30:38.22\00:30:40.56
Now remember,
out of the two sons,
00:30:40.57\00:30:41.85
they were his
blood, were they not?
00:30:41.86\00:30:43.70
One was by the bonds,
they call him the bond son
00:30:43.71\00:30:46.98
in the, Bible,
that means slavery.
00:30:46.99\00:30:49.62
And the other
one was called, what?
00:30:49.63\00:30:53.28
I didn't hear somebody.
00:30:53.29\00:30:54.43
The first thing is what?
00:30:54.44\00:30:55.41
Ishmael, we talk about, Ishmael.
00:30:55.42\00:30:57.45
Ishmael, was the
son of human devising.
00:30:57.46\00:31:02.24
He was the son of,
listen, human effort.
00:31:02.25\00:31:05.50
But, Isaac, was what?
00:31:05.51\00:31:06.73
He was the son of promise.
He was the son of faith.
00:31:06.74\00:31:10.87
But they were both bloodline,
00:31:10.88\00:31:12.80
but only one of
them, did you notice only,
00:31:12.81\00:31:14.83
Isaac, received the promise.
00:31:14.84\00:31:17.75
It doesn't mean
00:31:17.76\00:31:18.73
that, Ishmael,
was excluded from it.
00:31:18.74\00:31:21.21
It just simply said,
God, chose whom He will
00:31:21.22\00:31:24.44
to carry on His
work. All can be involved.
00:31:24.45\00:31:29.59
Isaac, was chosen of
God, not Ishmael, not Ishmael.
00:31:29.60\00:31:34.33
Abraham, Sarah,
think about this,
00:31:34.34\00:31:37.47
it was a miracle
birth, was it not?
00:31:37.48\00:31:39.66
It was such a miracle
birth that then notice,
00:31:39.67\00:31:42.83
the promise was
accepted by what?
00:31:42.84\00:31:45.49
By faith! Think about,
00:31:45.50\00:31:46.97
Abraham, think about the seed,
00:31:46.98\00:31:48.30
think about who
is really, Israel.
00:31:48.31\00:31:51.82
The promise that, God,
gave them was a miracle
00:31:51.83\00:31:54.93
and they had to
accept it by what?
00:31:54.94\00:31:56.87
Good, by faith.
00:31:56.88\00:31:58.61
It enabled them to conceive,
00:31:58.62\00:32:00.63
Sarah to conceive, to have what?
00:32:00.64\00:32:02.33
Isaac, son of promise.
00:32:02.34\00:32:04.74
And Paul kind of explains
it this way in scripture.
00:32:04.75\00:32:07.39
He said, it was a,
listen, a supernatural rebirth.
00:32:07.40\00:32:12.43
It was a supernatural, what?
00:32:12.44\00:32:14.45
Rebirth and
what can happen here.
00:32:14.46\00:32:18.72
That's what they're
Gentiles, we as Gentiles.
00:32:18.73\00:32:22.85
You know, we have
to, we have to become
00:32:22.86\00:32:25.79
children of, Abraham,
00:32:25.80\00:32:27.08
the Bible, is
talking about here.
00:32:27.09\00:32:28.79
And heirs according to
the promise right here.
00:32:28.80\00:32:32.01
As we read that we become
that supernatural rebirth,
00:32:32.02\00:32:35.87
the Gentiles, we
become seeds of Abraham.
00:32:35.88\00:32:38.92
Boy, this, I tell
you it really gets deep
00:32:38.93\00:32:40.95
when you begin to
study, amen, this is wonderful.
00:32:40.96\00:32:44.71
Have you had,
have you been reborn,
00:32:44.72\00:32:46.73
have you had rebirth experience?
00:32:46.74\00:32:49.46
You really know what
is about to be born again,
00:32:49.47\00:32:51.35
we love Jesus, love your heart,
00:32:51.36\00:32:52.85
your soul, and your mind.
00:32:52.86\00:32:55.73
This is what so
important in the world
00:32:55.74\00:32:57.36
that we live in here.
00:32:57.37\00:32:58.35
First of all is,
experience with Jesus Christ.
00:32:58.36\00:33:01.06
And so we, as we
read these things,
00:33:01.07\00:33:02.79
they are all good but remember,
00:33:02.80\00:33:04.58
remember what, John the Baptist,
00:33:04.59\00:33:05.76
even said, Remember,
00:33:05.77\00:33:08.29
we take law of
promise in the Old Testament
00:33:08.30\00:33:10.00
and they are
explained in the what?
00:33:10.01\00:33:11.62
Good, in the New Testament.
00:33:11.63\00:33:13.03
John the Baptist, said,
like this in Matthew 3:9,
00:33:13.04\00:33:15.75
he said, "And think not to
say within yourselves," notice
00:33:15.76\00:33:20.06
"we have Abraham to our father,
00:33:20.07\00:33:23.09
for I say unto
you," John was saying
00:33:23.10\00:33:25.00
"And I say unto you, that
God, is able of these stones
00:33:25.01\00:33:29.43
to raise up
children unto Abraham."
00:33:29.44\00:33:33.31
Wow! That kind of opens up
00:33:33.32\00:33:34.62
the whole new line
of thought, doesn't it?
00:33:34.63\00:33:37.89
I tell you, God, God,
has some real information
00:33:37.90\00:33:40.46
for the, children of
God, who is willing to really
00:33:40.47\00:33:42.70
get into the word,
they begin to study.
00:33:42.71\00:33:45.23
Now what really determines
00:33:45.24\00:33:47.08
whether we are a
child of Abraham or not?
00:33:47.09\00:33:49.35
What really determines it?
00:33:49.36\00:33:51.36
The, Bible, is clear in
Galatians Chapter 3 verse 7.
00:33:51.37\00:33:54.69
It says, "Know ye therefore
00:33:54.70\00:33:56.23
that they which are of," What?
00:33:56.24\00:33:58.62
"Of faith, the same are
the children of Abraham."
00:33:58.63\00:34:03.01
Now how can we
overlook this clear passage?
00:34:03.02\00:34:05.99
How can we really debate that?
00:34:06.00\00:34:07.32
Say, no, it has to
be the Jewish race.
00:34:07.33\00:34:09.78
You're gonna be an Israelite,
00:34:09.79\00:34:10.76
you got-- The, Bible, said here.
00:34:10.77\00:34:12.92
"Know ye not that
they which are of, what?
00:34:12.93\00:34:15.86
Good, of faith.
00:34:15.87\00:34:17.00
The same are they,
what? Children of Abraham.
00:34:17.01\00:34:20.75
Are you at faith today?
00:34:20.76\00:34:21.90
Then you are,
John, of Abraham, right?
00:34:21.91\00:34:24.04
Part of the family of God.
00:34:24.05\00:34:25.02
Heirs according
to, what? The promises.
00:34:25.03\00:34:28.30
So then we go
back and repeat again.
00:34:28.31\00:34:30.79
So must we be blood,
00:34:30.80\00:34:33.88
must we be born in
a certain nationality
00:34:33.89\00:34:37.42
in order to be
Abraham's seed, do we?
00:34:37.43\00:34:40.97
This is powerful.
00:34:40.98\00:34:41.95
Listen the
Galatians 3:28 and 29.
00:34:41.96\00:34:44.84
Now I am not
going to read all 28,
00:34:44.85\00:34:46.37
I'm going to set it up
here real quick, so you can see.
00:34:46.38\00:34:48.68
Remember he starts out that
00:34:48.69\00:34:49.66
it said that
there is neither, what?
00:34:49.67\00:34:52.42
Jew, nor Greek.
00:34:52.43\00:34:54.87
It start out,
talking about nationalities.
00:34:54.88\00:34:57.00
In God's side, there
is neither Jew, nor Greek.
00:34:57.01\00:34:59.58
And then it goes on
in verse 29 it says,
00:34:59.59\00:35:01.49
"And if you be Christ's,
00:35:01.50\00:35:04.10
then you are Abraham's," What?
00:35:04.11\00:35:06.61
"You are Abraham's seed,
00:35:06.62\00:35:08.37
and heirs
according to the promise."
00:35:08.38\00:35:10.59
What if we missed, what if
you missed all these years?
00:35:10.60\00:35:14.27
Oh, we won't be looking over,
00:35:14.28\00:35:15.51
we're not gonna be
seeing what's going on,
00:35:15.52\00:35:16.98
listen, those
people, the majority of them
00:35:16.99\00:35:19.49
blessed are precious heart,
00:35:19.50\00:35:20.91
they don't
believe in, Jesus Christ,
00:35:20.92\00:35:22.83
they don't believe
that He is coming back
00:35:22.84\00:35:24.86
that He even came the first time
00:35:24.87\00:35:26.86
and received to be
heirs according to promise,
00:35:26.87\00:35:29.11
we ought to
righteousness in the faith,
00:35:29.12\00:35:30.47
accept Jesus, we
need to be converted,
00:35:30.48\00:35:32.40
we need to be
obedient. That's not happening.
00:35:32.41\00:35:36.28
Our eyes needs to
upon, Jesus Christ.
00:35:36.29\00:35:38.04
Our eyes need to be upon
the word of, God, right here.
00:35:38.05\00:35:40.34
Quit worrying about
some kind of bloodline
00:35:40.35\00:35:42.39
those who have what?
00:35:42.40\00:35:43.37
Probation has already ended,
00:35:43.38\00:35:45.93
and really to get into
the word of, God, here,
00:35:45.94\00:35:47.66
and say, my, what does God say.
00:35:47.67\00:35:49.18
God says, you can't
get any clearer than this.
00:35:49.19\00:35:51.94
If you are Christ,
00:35:51.95\00:35:53.44
are you Christ? Are you Christ?
00:35:53.45\00:35:56.97
Have you accepted
Him as, Lord and Savior?
00:35:56.98\00:36:00.00
The, Bible, says this.
Then you are Abraham's seed.
00:36:00.01\00:36:06.96
The Jew will tell me
today, well, you are not Jew,
00:36:06.97\00:36:08.88
you don't have the blood of Jew,
00:36:08.89\00:36:10.18
you don't have.
00:36:10.19\00:36:11.16
The, Bible say, that's
above the Jewish bloodline.
00:36:11.17\00:36:16.34
You're Abraham, I
am Abraham's seed,
00:36:16.35\00:36:18.73
and I am heir
according to the promise.
00:36:18.74\00:36:21.09
Interesting, when you
mention that the promises made.
00:36:21.10\00:36:23.73
I hope we have time to
talk a little about this
00:36:23.74\00:36:26.08
before our time runs out.
00:36:26.09\00:36:28.13
But they'll say, yeah, but
what about all those promises
00:36:28.14\00:36:30.04
which was made to the, Israel,
00:36:30.05\00:36:31.88
and, you know what?
00:36:31.89\00:36:32.86
Listen, they are all
going to be fulfilled
00:36:32.87\00:36:34.85
through the New
Testament Church.
00:36:34.86\00:36:38.32
All of those promises
that, God, has made, what?
00:36:38.33\00:36:40.42
Because we of what?
00:36:40.43\00:36:41.83
We are Abraham's
seed, because I've accepted,
00:36:41.84\00:36:44.01
Jesus Christ, because of what?
00:36:44.02\00:36:46.13
Because of Jesus
Christ, He is the seed.
00:36:46.14\00:36:49.57
And all we can be
part of the family,
00:36:49.58\00:36:50.99
God here it says, I am
heir according to the promises.
00:36:51.00\00:36:54.63
I can receive the promises
00:36:54.64\00:36:55.91
just like the
Jews or anyone else.
00:36:55.92\00:36:58.82
I will make this clear
and I will come back. Listen.
00:36:58.83\00:37:00.80
A Jew today, he gets to heaven
00:37:00.81\00:37:03.33
just exactly like you
are going to get there
00:37:03.34\00:37:05.27
or I get there.
They must be born again.
00:37:05.28\00:37:10.20
Please keep that in mind.
00:37:10.21\00:37:11.73
There is no
shortcuts for anyone.
00:37:11.74\00:37:14.77
We've got to accept Jesus.
00:37:14.78\00:37:18.90
To me that's powerful passage
there, Galatians 3:28-29.
00:37:18.91\00:37:22.77
Jott that down and read
when you have more time.
00:37:22.78\00:37:25.93
And we say, okay, that's
plan is it plan, church plan.
00:37:25.94\00:37:30.16
Those who are,
Christ, are spiritual, what?
00:37:30.17\00:37:35.54
Israel. Spiritual Israel.
00:37:35.55\00:37:38.88
If you are in, Jesus
Christ, that's what it says,
00:37:38.89\00:37:41.94
not the fleshly,
not the literal, Israel,
00:37:41.95\00:37:47.04
but it says, they
were spiritual Israel.
00:37:47.05\00:37:49.42
So those
promises will be fulfilled
00:37:49.43\00:37:51.28
through us. Praise God.
00:37:51.29\00:37:57.05
So we talked about
one who is a Jew by birth.
00:37:57.06\00:38:01.89
And I want to make it clear.
00:38:01.90\00:38:03.01
You are not automatically,
00:38:03.02\00:38:04.91
you don't automatically
receive the promises,
00:38:04.92\00:38:09.11
the divine promises.
00:38:09.12\00:38:10.26
You don't automatically receive
00:38:10.27\00:38:12.16
a-I want to call it a free pass.
00:38:12.17\00:38:15.83
You don't receive that
because of your bloodline.
00:38:15.84\00:38:19.44
As we went through
this, we see that it deals
00:38:19.45\00:38:21.26
with the,
righteousness of Jesus Christ,
00:38:21.27\00:38:24.47
those who
accept, Jesus, by faith.
00:38:24.48\00:38:27.90
You're gonna be heir
according to the promise.
00:38:27.91\00:38:31.95
Exactly, the
Jew, will receive it,
00:38:31.96\00:38:34.29
exactly the way, the Gentile,
00:38:34.30\00:38:36.63
obtains the
blessings. No different.
00:38:36.64\00:38:41.54
Let's speak real
plain, shall we once again?
00:38:41.55\00:38:46.11
Blood relationship to Abraham.
00:38:46.12\00:38:50.07
If you are able, let's
say you are able to go back,
00:38:50.08\00:38:52.98
and you're able to
trace your family tree.
00:38:52.99\00:38:55.79
People are
interested in family tree,
00:38:55.80\00:38:57.67
who, what, when,
where in bloodlines.
00:38:57.68\00:39:00.18
If you could go back
00:39:00.19\00:39:01.45
and you could trace that amount
00:39:01.46\00:39:03.85
and somehow you found
that, somehow down through time
00:39:03.86\00:39:06.78
that somehow you
were kin of Abraham.
00:39:06.79\00:39:10.31
Oh, boys, you sense, ooh,
boy, I will tell you listen.
00:39:10.32\00:39:13.25
You know, how much that's worth
00:39:13.26\00:39:14.67
if when it comes to salvation
about what the papers worth
00:39:14.68\00:39:17.76
it's written on.
00:39:17.77\00:39:19.75
That's pretty plan, isn't it?
00:39:19.76\00:39:22.16
It doesn't matter.
00:39:22.17\00:39:23.14
The, Bible, teaches
"It doesn't matter."
00:39:23.15\00:39:27.43
Don't forget Matthew 3,
00:39:27.44\00:39:28.62
read verse 7 through
9 when you have time.
00:39:28.63\00:39:30.15
Here is a biggie,
I call him biggie,
00:39:30.16\00:39:31.58
sometimes, shocking sometime,
00:39:31.59\00:39:36.38
and we need to be shocked
00:39:36.39\00:39:37.39
when we are studying scripture,
00:39:37.40\00:39:38.44
'cause it gets and say,
well, I didn't realize that.
00:39:38.45\00:39:40.57
Let me, let me
look here a little bit.
00:39:40.58\00:39:42.68
Now what is the point of
even going through a lot of it,
00:39:42.69\00:39:45.31
because it deals
with so many what?
00:39:45.32\00:39:48.49
Subjects! So many subject
that people misapprehend.
00:39:48.50\00:39:54.68
They are not contemplating,
they are not studying them,
00:39:54.69\00:39:56.58
because they have
this thing in their mind.
00:39:56.59\00:39:58.59
This is why it's going to be,
00:39:58.60\00:39:59.69
because it has to go like this
00:39:59.70\00:40:01.08
in order to take place.
00:40:01.09\00:40:05.69
And therefore, what?
00:40:05.70\00:40:06.67
We are not learning and putting
00:40:06.68\00:40:07.72
into our heart and
mind, what truth is,
00:40:07.73\00:40:09.69
and when the enemy appears.
00:40:09.70\00:40:12.94
When the enemy appears
00:40:12.95\00:40:14.00
dear friend,
you're gonna be fooled.
00:40:14.01\00:40:16.13
That's a burden we have
here at Behold the Lamb.
00:40:16.14\00:40:18.21
We don't want
anybody to be fooled.
00:40:18.22\00:40:20.09
If you want to be
lost, that's your choice.
00:40:20.10\00:40:23.22
You don't have to serve,
God, if you don't want to.
00:40:23.23\00:40:27.88
But we plead and
we beg just say look
00:40:27.89\00:40:30.64
at least open your ears,
00:40:30.65\00:40:31.93
and your mind, and your heart,
00:40:31.94\00:40:33.50
and spend a few
moments to study this,
00:40:33.51\00:40:35.85
because this touches on
all of different subjects
00:40:35.86\00:40:40.01
about the dozens,
and we are getting off,
00:40:40.02\00:40:43.99
we are not studying
what truth is anymore.
00:40:44.00\00:40:45.59
We are studying what?
00:40:45.60\00:40:47.06
Some of the teachings of man,
00:40:47.07\00:40:50.52
and we realize where
that's going to lead us.
00:40:50.53\00:40:53.98
Here is the biggie,
now listen carefully.
00:40:53.99\00:40:57.84
The enemy has
done what to our minds.
00:40:57.85\00:40:59.70
He has confused him.
00:40:59.71\00:41:01.96
He likes to confuse the mind,
00:41:01.97\00:41:03.39
because that's the only
way that he can get to, who?
00:41:03.40\00:41:06.07
To get to you.
00:41:06.08\00:41:07.64
The Holy Spirit, how
can Holy Spirit get to you?
00:41:07.65\00:41:10.85
Through what?
Good, through the mind.
00:41:10.86\00:41:12.76
Do you see what
the devil is working
00:41:12.77\00:41:14.11
on the mind all the time?
00:41:14.12\00:41:16.27
Anything that we
can take into our body
00:41:16.28\00:41:18.14
to confuse the mind, whether be,
00:41:18.15\00:41:19.87
you know, pills or
we're drinking things
00:41:19.88\00:41:22.09
or we're smoking things,
00:41:22.10\00:41:23.07
somebody need to stay with me.
00:41:23.08\00:41:24.21
Eating too much of
things that it does, what?
00:41:24.22\00:41:29.17
It confuses the mind.
00:41:29.18\00:41:30.15
People says, oh, no, it didn't.
00:41:30.16\00:41:31.65
You know and I know, well,
be carefully about I know here.
00:41:31.66\00:41:36.42
You know, of course, I know.
00:41:36.43\00:41:39.10
Let say you have a
great big meal, what happens?
00:41:39.11\00:41:42.75
Do you think
properly, do you feel right?
00:41:42.76\00:41:45.88
Say, you've overeaten.
00:41:45.89\00:41:47.82
Your mind becomes
dull a lot of times
00:41:47.83\00:41:49.85
and you want
just kind of lay down
00:41:49.86\00:41:51.06
and take a nap and so, you know,
00:41:51.07\00:41:53.24
the enemy will
even try to confuse us
00:41:53.25\00:41:54.97
even on things that
are good within themselves
00:41:54.98\00:41:57.65
and maybe the good
food that we are eating.
00:41:57.66\00:42:00.23
But we maybe
overdoing, so I am saying,
00:42:00.24\00:42:01.65
he is trying to
confuse the minds,
00:42:01.66\00:42:03.38
so that we can't
comprehend spiritual things,
00:42:03.39\00:42:06.19
so we need to be careful.
00:42:06.20\00:42:09.16
The things that
we take into our body
00:42:09.17\00:42:11.64
that affect our what? Our mind.
00:42:11.65\00:42:13.22
Everything does of who we are.
00:42:13.23\00:42:16.91
That's why, God's last day,
00:42:16.92\00:42:18.00
people have a health message
that we need to be studying
00:42:18.01\00:42:22.21
and apply to our
hearts, into our life
00:42:22.22\00:42:24.74
that we maybe fit vessels
for the Holy Spirit to dwell in.
00:42:24.75\00:42:31.58
God is well aware
what's taking place
00:42:31.59\00:42:34.54
and what the enemy is doing,
00:42:34.55\00:42:35.67
much more than we
would could ever be.
00:42:35.68\00:42:39.13
And he wants to warn us here
00:42:39.14\00:42:40.41
in these last days regarding
these, prophecies of Israel.
00:42:40.42\00:42:47.39
As the devil confuses
the mind of the, Christians
00:42:47.40\00:42:50.11
and the Jews, and
many denominations today.
00:42:50.12\00:42:53.52
Remember there
are couple of--well,
00:42:53.53\00:42:54.58
I've mentioned quite regularly
00:42:54.59\00:42:55.56
but Revelation Chapter
14 verses 6 through 12.
00:42:55.57\00:42:59.03
Revelation Chapter
18 verses 1 through 4.
00:42:59.04\00:43:02.57
We find that some of
our minds are confused,
00:43:02.58\00:43:04.95
but there is a specific message
00:43:04.96\00:43:06.74
that is given and it
announces that, what?
00:43:06.75\00:43:11.24
Babylon is fallen.
00:43:11.25\00:43:14.07
Babylon is always denotes, what?
00:43:14.08\00:43:16.11
Come on, you
know, all these things
00:43:16.12\00:43:17.73
but, lets put them together
one, two, three, confusion.
00:43:17.74\00:43:21.71
Confusion, what?
00:43:21.72\00:43:22.93
Not just anything in the world,
00:43:22.94\00:43:24.49
the spiritual
things, the world spiritual.
00:43:24.50\00:43:28.61
The, Christian world has been,
00:43:28.62\00:43:30.41
what we're drunk with these
false doctrine and teachings,
00:43:30.42\00:43:34.29
the wine that
we've been drinking,
00:43:34.30\00:43:35.71
false doctrine and teaching.
00:43:35.72\00:43:37.23
Our minds have become confused.
00:43:37.24\00:43:39.70
Everywhere in scripture that
literal or mystical Babylon,
00:43:39.71\00:43:45.77
it's always an enemy of God.
00:43:45.78\00:43:48.60
Babylon, enemy of God,
00:43:48.61\00:43:49.86
Babylon, enemy of God, always.
00:43:49.87\00:43:53.44
And friend, in Revelation,
00:43:53.45\00:43:56.65
let me just be
real clear on this.
00:43:56.66\00:43:58.30
You say, well,
Babylon, that was then,
00:43:58.31\00:43:59.98
hey look, Babylon,
just means confusion
00:43:59.99\00:44:02.22
and it's talking
about in religious things
00:44:02.23\00:44:04.41
and so I'll make this statement.
00:44:04.42\00:44:05.79
All religions, all
apostate religions,
00:44:05.80\00:44:11.41
religious organizations,
00:44:11.42\00:44:13.03
all of their leaders
in any of the movements.
00:44:13.04\00:44:19.21
You see, they've
fallen away from truth,
00:44:19.22\00:44:21.99
have been drinking
at the well of Babylon.
00:44:22.00\00:44:26.44
If they are
teaching false doctrines,
00:44:26.45\00:44:29.30
you've been
drinking a Babylon's well.
00:44:29.31\00:44:33.19
And, God, is going
to hold us accountable.
00:44:33.20\00:44:35.44
Apostate means, you've
fallen away from what is truth.
00:44:35.45\00:44:39.69
Maybe you don't care anymore.
00:44:39.70\00:44:42.42
Religious
organizations we've fallen
00:44:42.43\00:44:45.09
and the Three Angels
Message or Revelation 14,
00:44:45.10\00:44:48.22
a Second Angel's Message,
Babylon is falling, listen,
00:44:48.23\00:44:51.20
come out of
her, what? My people.
00:44:51.21\00:44:55.33
So God's people must be,
00:44:55.34\00:44:57.03
many of them must be in Babylon
00:44:57.04\00:44:59.14
or he would not call them out.
00:44:59.15\00:45:01.59
I hope somebody
is hearing this now.
00:45:01.60\00:45:04.14
Do you hear that
over there? Listen.
00:45:04.15\00:45:06.92
He is calling them out.
00:45:06.93\00:45:09.20
So we not participate in, what?
00:45:09.21\00:45:11.36
Their sins and
their false doctrines,
00:45:11.37\00:45:13.38
and false
teaching and God's people
00:45:13.39\00:45:15.58
has to stand up
in the last days,
00:45:15.59\00:45:17.59
and to be heard.
No they're afraid.
00:45:17.60\00:45:21.91
This is not a time
for fear dear friends.
00:45:21.92\00:45:24.85
That Second Angel's
Message has to be given.
00:45:24.86\00:45:26.90
First Angel's
Message has to be given.
00:45:26.91\00:45:28.69
Third Angel's
Message has to be given.
00:45:28.70\00:45:33.07
How far we've fallen
away from, God, God, help us.
00:45:33.08\00:45:37.47
God is going to deal
with these churches today.
00:45:37.48\00:45:43.52
The churches that
He is talking about.
00:45:43.53\00:45:47.42
The ones they are
fulfilling the prophecies
00:45:47.43\00:45:49.75
in the Book of Revelation
00:45:49.76\00:45:50.90
that, John, is
talking about here.
00:45:50.91\00:45:56.44
And I will say
this dear friends,
00:45:56.45\00:45:57.87
many of these apostate churches
00:45:57.88\00:45:59.45
have knocked the
spirit of God's people
00:45:59.46\00:46:02.55
who keep the
commandments of God.
00:46:02.56\00:46:05.38
Oh, big statement
you better believe it.
00:46:05.39\00:46:10.03
See all these future promises
made to the seed of Abraham,
00:46:10.04\00:46:15.04
I want to get it
squared way in our minds now.
00:46:15.05\00:46:18.12
The promises of the
future inheritance and power,
00:46:18.13\00:46:21.45
these promise of
restoration of Israel.
00:46:21.46\00:46:24.80
Everyone dear
friend, will be fulfilled,
00:46:24.81\00:46:26.98
not in a race,
not in the nation,
00:46:26.99\00:46:29.52
but through faith, what?
00:46:29.53\00:46:30.75
In Jesus Christ,
what my, Bible says.
00:46:30.76\00:46:33.36
Those who have
accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
00:46:33.37\00:46:36.80
Salvation is between, what?
00:46:36.81\00:46:38.83
You and God! It's very personal,
00:46:38.84\00:46:43.05
it's not that you have to race.
00:46:43.06\00:46:44.64
It's not a
kingdom, it's not national,
00:46:44.65\00:46:47.64
it's not a-- it's not nation
00:46:47.65\00:46:49.72
but its individual
between you and God.
00:46:49.73\00:46:54.24
Remember
whatever you might think
00:46:54.25\00:46:55.70
that you don't
have that free pass
00:46:55.71\00:46:57.77
because of
genealogy. I can tell you that.
00:46:57.78\00:47:00.02
The word does
not ever teach that.
00:47:00.03\00:47:03.23
We've just got
ourselves confused,
00:47:03.24\00:47:04.40
the devil
confused our mind on it.
00:47:04.41\00:47:08.14
You say, well, why, why?
00:47:08.15\00:47:09.16
Because the persons
think, they have a free pass,
00:47:09.17\00:47:11.17
they think they
can get away from God.
00:47:11.18\00:47:14.98
They don't, they
don't, they can find salvation
00:47:14.99\00:47:17.19
apart from,
Christ, and they cannot.
00:47:17.20\00:47:20.27
It's in Christ.
00:47:20.28\00:47:23.31
Remember, God, saves
people individually, personal.
00:47:23.32\00:47:27.90
Let's just examine a few moments
00:47:27.91\00:47:29.57
that we have left,
about Jesus' work Himself
00:47:29.58\00:47:31.76
while He was here
on earth with Israel.
00:47:31.77\00:47:33.28
You remember what,
Jesus, told the woman.
00:47:33.29\00:47:35.40
Remember what He told
her at the woman of Canaan.
00:47:35.41\00:47:38.37
She came to Him and
to heal her daughter.
00:47:38.38\00:47:41.67
You remember what
was talked about there
00:47:41.68\00:47:43.30
in Matthew 15:24.
00:47:43.31\00:47:44.57
Here is what,
Jesus, said to her.
00:47:44.58\00:47:46.09
He said, "But he
answered and said,
00:47:46.10\00:47:47.59
I am not sent"
listen very carefully
00:47:47.60\00:47:50.14
"But unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel."
00:47:50.15\00:47:56.30
Jesus, was telling
when she came for miracle,
00:47:56.31\00:47:58.21
she came for healing.
00:47:58.22\00:47:59.19
Jesus, said that
I've come to do what?
00:47:59.20\00:48:01.67
I am sent back
to the lost sheep,
00:48:01.68\00:48:04.37
talking about
what the Jews lost.
00:48:04.38\00:48:07.78
Wow! What was, Jesus, saying?
00:48:07.79\00:48:12.22
He said,
primarily, this is His goal,
00:48:12.23\00:48:14.37
He was sent to,
what? To the Jews.
00:48:14.38\00:48:17.05
But remember He never
ever deny the Gentile,
00:48:17.06\00:48:20.84
the blessings that He
offered to His people.
00:48:20.85\00:48:23.80
He is making a statement
here because of salvation.
00:48:23.81\00:48:26.03
We're gonna read when you say,
00:48:26.04\00:48:27.28
salvation is of the Jewish rule,
00:48:27.29\00:48:28.80
what's that mean.
00:48:28.81\00:48:30.34
Jesus, was
pointing in that direction.
00:48:30.35\00:48:33.49
Jesus, knew the probation
was getting ready to close,
00:48:33.50\00:48:35.49
but the Jews as a
nation and they came here
00:48:35.50\00:48:37.72
and disciples
and He counseled them
00:48:37.73\00:48:39.52
to what work would the Jews do.
00:48:39.53\00:48:41.51
Let me just read that,
00:48:41.52\00:48:42.52
Jesus, was sent to the lost
sheep of the house of, what?
00:48:42.53\00:48:45.34
Of Israel. Read it when you can.
00:48:45.35\00:48:47.84
Okay, when you get
Jeremiah 50 verse 6, read that.
00:48:47.85\00:48:51.11
God's speak of His people
00:48:51.12\00:48:52.33
has been, what? Lost Sheep.
00:48:52.34\00:48:54.10
Isaiah 53:6, He
talks about His sheep,
00:48:54.11\00:48:57.63
like sheep, we like
sheep, we've all done, what?
00:48:57.64\00:49:00.29
We've gone astray.
00:49:00.30\00:49:03.04
And so in Acts 13:46,
notice what this says.
00:49:03.05\00:49:06.80
It says, "Necessary
that the word of God,
00:49:06.81\00:49:09.17
should first have
been spoken to you."
00:49:09.18\00:49:11.34
But notice this "But
seeing ye put it far from you,
00:49:11.35\00:49:15.20
and judge yourselves," What?
00:49:15.21\00:49:16.80
Unworthy of everlasting life,
00:49:16.81\00:49:19.30
lo, we turn to,"
What? To the Gentiles."
00:49:19.31\00:49:22.59
First what? It
was come out to Jews.
00:49:22.60\00:49:24.18
The Jews didn't
accept, Christ, right here.
00:49:24.19\00:49:27.29
He said what?
00:49:27.30\00:49:28.27
Because you didn't want
to hear the word of God.
00:49:28.28\00:49:29.56
It was first
spoken you but you seeing
00:49:29.57\00:49:31.59
you didn't want any part of it.
00:49:31.60\00:49:33.08
He said, right here
and you judge yourself,
00:49:33.09\00:49:35.13
notice, unworthy
of everlasting life.
00:49:35.14\00:49:37.92
So apart from, Jesus, what,
there is no everlasting life.
00:49:37.93\00:49:41.06
We've got to accept Him
into our heart and life.
00:49:41.07\00:49:43.26
Lord, he say, we turn, what?
00:49:43.27\00:49:44.95
We turn to the Gentiles.
00:49:44.96\00:49:47.57
Wow! And Acts 18:6 say,
00:49:47.58\00:49:51.76
"From henceforth
I will go unto the,"
00:49:51.77\00:49:53.73
What? "To the Gentiles."
00:49:53.74\00:49:56.10
And again Acts 28:28 it says,
00:49:56.11\00:49:59.05
"Be it known therefore unto you,
00:49:59.06\00:50:00.29
that the salvation of God
is sent unto the Gentiles,
00:50:00.30\00:50:04.24
and that they will hear it."
00:50:04.25\00:50:07.01
They will hear the
word, they will respond.
00:50:07.02\00:50:09.43
Where did, Jesus,
first send the 12 disciples
00:50:09.44\00:50:12.59
in Matthew 10 verse 5 and 6.
00:50:12.60\00:50:14.95
Where did He first send them?
00:50:14.96\00:50:17.32
Jesus, sent the 12
and He commanded them,
00:50:17.33\00:50:19.47
saying, Go not the
way of the Gentiles,
00:50:19.48\00:50:22.56
but into any city of
the Samaritans enter ye not,
00:50:22.57\00:50:26.09
but go not again
00:50:26.10\00:50:27.50
rather to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel."
00:50:27.51\00:50:31.80
Here is the passage
that will make you stop
00:50:31.81\00:50:33.79
and think in John 4:22.
00:50:33.80\00:50:35.81
It says, Jesus,
responded to the woman.
00:50:35.82\00:50:38.07
We're talking about
Samaritan here, notice this.
00:50:38.08\00:50:39.94
About the source of salvation,
00:50:39.95\00:50:41.47
here is what, Jesus, says,
listen, why did He said it.
00:50:41.48\00:50:44.47
He said, He told His woman,
00:50:44.48\00:50:45.94
He said "You worship
what ye know not what"
00:50:45.95\00:50:50.18
How do you like
somebody say that to you?
00:50:50.19\00:50:51.63
You don't know what
you are worshipping here.
00:50:51.64\00:50:54.21
We know not what we worship
00:50:54.22\00:50:55.65
for salvation is
of what? Of the Jews.
00:50:55.66\00:50:58.59
What does that means
salvation is of the Jews?
00:50:58.60\00:51:01.74
See Samaritans, He is saying
the Samaritans didn't even,
00:51:01.75\00:51:04.23
they didn't know
what they worship, why?
00:51:04.24\00:51:06.30
Because they were
combination of apostate Hebrews
00:51:06.31\00:51:10.20
and they were part of the
00:51:10.21\00:51:11.65
Hellenism combined together.
00:51:11.66\00:51:14.64
And so they
worshipped Him as Mark 7:7 says,
00:51:14.65\00:51:17.37
they worshipped, Jesus, in vain.
00:51:17.38\00:51:19.22
He was trying to
get their attention.
00:51:19.23\00:51:20.89
Jesus, offers them a superior,
00:51:20.90\00:51:24.40
the Jews religion
is superior to theirs,
00:51:24.41\00:51:27.46
if they had followed it.
00:51:27.47\00:51:29.87
Remember the, Jews,
were chosen to be, what?
00:51:29.88\00:51:32.54
Witnesses to the world.
00:51:32.55\00:51:34.68
But what do you
means superiority,
00:51:34.69\00:51:35.85
it mean we have to beat you.
00:51:35.86\00:51:36.90
Superiority here
if you look it up
00:51:36.91\00:51:38.51
and you study
here. It means this.
00:51:38.52\00:51:40.74
God, has chosen
the Hebrew people
00:51:40.75\00:51:43.65
as His
representatives to the earth.
00:51:43.66\00:51:45.59
He trusted them with
the Ten Commandment law,
00:51:45.60\00:51:48.93
and that the Messiah
was going to be a Jew.
00:51:48.94\00:51:52.32
There was a better way that
He approved of their teaching
00:51:52.33\00:51:56.31
and what they're
doing, absolutely not.
00:51:56.32\00:51:57.37
He came, He said oh, I
came the lost house of Israel.
00:51:57.38\00:52:01.02
So quickly here our few moments.
00:52:01.03\00:52:02.18
How does, a Gentile,
become a spiritual Israelite?
00:52:02.19\00:52:05.79
How does, a Gentile,
00:52:05.80\00:52:07.05
then become a
spiritual Israelite?
00:52:07.06\00:52:11.71
This is something for sure,
00:52:11.72\00:52:13.29
anyone who has
faith in, Jesus Christ,
00:52:13.30\00:52:16.27
we've been reading as what?
00:52:16.28\00:52:17.76
We have faith in, Jesus Christ.
00:52:17.77\00:52:18.79
You're been born
again, you're an Israelite,
00:52:18.80\00:52:20.55
that's just as that simple.
00:52:20.56\00:52:22.28
Israel and the
children of Christ
00:52:22.29\00:52:25.21
are synonymous in scripture.
00:52:25.22\00:52:27.63
You're a child
of God, you're what?
00:52:27.64\00:52:29.04
You're an Israelite.
00:52:29.05\00:52:31.57
Literal, we talk
about literal Israel
00:52:31.58\00:52:33.42
is only a symbol of what?
00:52:33.43\00:52:35.86
Spiritual
Israel here, just like,
00:52:35.87\00:52:38.79
I remember the land of Canaan,
00:52:38.80\00:52:42.37
you know, he had the
literal land of Canaan,
00:52:42.38\00:52:43.95
but it was a symbol of what?
00:52:43.96\00:52:45.59
The heavenly Canaan,
yes, that you're sure.
00:52:45.60\00:52:48.37
Romans 11 read
verse 17 through 23.
00:52:48.38\00:52:51.58
It speaks of an olive tree,
here quickly an olive tree,
00:52:51.59\00:52:54.10
olive tree is who? Is Israel.
00:52:54.11\00:52:56.78
Some of their
branches were broken off.
00:52:56.79\00:52:59.44
The natural ones that
mean they were breadline,
00:52:59.45\00:53:02.05
broken off that's
a tribe of Israel,
00:53:02.06\00:53:03.66
because of what?
Because of unbelief.
00:53:03.67\00:53:06.81
The Gentiles and
the other nations
00:53:06.82\00:53:08.45
were grafted into
those places, what?
00:53:08.46\00:53:12.52
They became
Israel, the branches,
00:53:12.53\00:53:14.93
notice this the
branches that were broken off
00:53:14.94\00:53:17.98
and you know what, they may
be grafted into individually.
00:53:17.99\00:53:22.14
We've been grafted
into the part of the family,
00:53:22.15\00:53:24.08
God, we're Abraham's seed.
00:53:24.09\00:53:26.75
But they only can be
grafted in as we exercise,
00:53:26.76\00:53:29.28
faith in Jesus Christ.
00:53:29.29\00:53:31.76
So the Jew dear
friends ceased to be Israel,
00:53:31.77\00:53:34.82
because they lost connection,
00:53:34.83\00:53:36.68
you got to read
all these passages,
00:53:36.69\00:53:38.28
they lost connection with
the main stock or the wine.
00:53:38.29\00:53:43.47
Oh, boy, and their place
was taken by every nation.
00:53:43.48\00:53:48.87
Kindred, tongue and
people given in Revelation 14,
00:53:48.88\00:53:51.50
through what? Three
Angel's message again.
00:53:51.51\00:53:53.83
You accept, Jesus
Christ, you are, Israel,
00:53:53.84\00:53:56.62
and any gathering
is going on over in,
00:53:56.63\00:53:58.47
Israel, or anything is
taking place right here
00:53:58.48\00:54:00.47
will not be fulfilled,
00:54:00.48\00:54:01.63
will not have the
blessing of Bible Prophecy.
00:54:01.64\00:54:04.98
Bible doesn't
teach that dear friend.
00:54:04.99\00:54:07.48
All who enter
heaven, I want you to think,
00:54:07.49\00:54:09.09
all who enter heaven.
00:54:09.10\00:54:10.63
I've mentioned this
before, must be an Israelite.
00:54:10.64\00:54:14.76
Yeah, promises that are made to,
00:54:14.77\00:54:17.71
ancient Israel,
00:54:17.72\00:54:19.18
will be fulfilled
in, spiritual Israel.
00:54:19.19\00:54:23.48
Remember promises
that were made to,
00:54:23.49\00:54:25.40
Abraham, you
remember that concerning
00:54:25.41\00:54:27.17
the inheritance of the earth
00:54:27.18\00:54:28.95
and they were
not fulfilled in him
00:54:28.96\00:54:32.18
or his descendants.
00:54:32.19\00:54:34.36
Do you remember that why?
00:54:34.37\00:54:35.64
Because they
lived, the Bible, said
00:54:35.65\00:54:36.88
in Hebrews 11,
they lived in what?
00:54:36.89\00:54:38.82
In the country,
they lived in tents,
00:54:38.83\00:54:41.62
they all died in the faith
not receiving the promises.
00:54:41.63\00:54:45.20
Wow! Israel, the
true Israel of God,
00:54:45.21\00:54:50.14
those who enter heaven,
00:54:50.15\00:54:53.61
each one of them dear friends,
00:54:53.62\00:54:54.93
will be assigned
I believe by tribe
00:54:54.94\00:54:57.61
according to
their characteristics.
00:54:57.62\00:55:02.36
They enter in not as strangers,
00:55:02.37\00:55:05.28
not as a, Jew, not as a Gentile,
00:55:05.29\00:55:08.75
but as the Israel of
God, the New Testament Church.
00:55:08.76\00:55:12.46
They enter in as overcomers
00:55:12.47\00:55:14.61
and so as we start out
with our first passage,
00:55:14.62\00:55:17.29
so all of,
Israel, shall be saved.
00:55:17.30\00:55:20.51
Friend, I pray
that you'll take this,
00:55:20.52\00:55:22.24
you know, this little
information just scratching
00:55:22.25\00:55:24.27
and you'll begin to
work, you'll begin to study
00:55:24.28\00:55:26.17
and you're gonna find out who
00:55:26.18\00:55:27.25
the, true Israel
really is of God,
00:55:27.26\00:55:30.25
and the
preparation that it would take.
00:55:30.26\00:55:31.66
Let's pray about it right
now before we close, shall we?
00:55:31.67\00:55:34.34
That the Holy
Spirit will help us
00:55:34.35\00:55:35.43
to understand this message
is confusing the world today.
00:55:35.44\00:55:40.30
Merciful Father in Heaven,
00:55:40.31\00:55:41.39
we truly thank
you for Your word.
00:55:41.40\00:55:43.58
Much as been covered only
your Holy Spirit can help us
00:55:43.59\00:55:45.62
to understand these words.
00:55:45.63\00:55:47.30
As we do, we pray
that each one will take us
00:55:47.31\00:55:49.24
a stand for what we
know is right and truth
00:55:49.25\00:55:51.17
and we'll keep our
eyes not on our country,
00:55:51.18\00:55:53.12
not on the people,
but on Jesus Christ,
00:55:53.13\00:55:55.03
our Lord, and our Savior.
00:55:55.04\00:55:57.01
Help those we pray you
study Jesus' name, amen.
00:55:57.02\00:56:00.69
Thank you for
studying with us too.
00:56:00.70\00:56:02.93
We realize it
takes some of your time,
00:56:02.94\00:56:04.85
but we want you
to take that time,
00:56:04.86\00:56:06.32
take time and study
in prayer every day.
00:56:06.33\00:56:08.62
Remember, you know, the only way
00:56:08.63\00:56:10.04
we can bring
these programs to you
00:56:10.05\00:56:11.31
