Hello, good
morning and welcome to
00:01:01.06\00:01:02.80
Fall Camp meeting
2007, here at beautiful
00:01:02.81\00:01:06.79
Thompsonville,
Illinois. And it's good to have
00:01:06.80\00:01:10.02
our audience here
in the Worship Center.
00:01:10.03\00:01:13.30
And also good to see
you and to be with you
00:01:13.55\00:01:15.75
who are watching us at home.
00:01:15.76\00:01:17.19
It's a very good day to
be a live, isn't it? Amen.
00:01:17.20\00:01:19.41
It's a beautiful day
outside, it's a good day
00:01:19.42\00:01:20.72
to be in Christ Jesus.
A good day to know that
00:01:20.73\00:01:23.79
our sins are
forgiven, a good day to know
00:01:23.80\00:01:26.57
that Jesus is coming
soon and we're walking
00:01:26.58\00:01:29.75
this road that
leads to glory together.
00:01:29.76\00:01:32.38
And our theme for this year is
00:01:32.74\00:01:34.74
'The Year of
Victory.' We are experiencing
00:01:35.47\00:01:37.66
victory in Jesus. Now,
need to ask this question,
00:01:37.67\00:01:39.74
how many of you
had a good time already
00:01:39.75\00:01:40.89
in Camp meeting?
Amen. Amen, its universal,
00:01:40.90\00:01:43.52
all the eyes have it
and there are no nos,
00:01:43.53\00:01:46.69
praise the Lord.
We're having a really good
00:01:46.70\00:01:49.24
time and you know
it's good when the family
00:01:49.25\00:01:51.21
of God gathers
together, isn't it? Amen.
00:01:51.22\00:01:53.23
We don't get to
see each other so much;
00:01:53.24\00:01:54.88
we don't get to
experience the fellowship
00:01:54.89\00:01:57.34
that we always want.
And when Camp meeting
00:01:57.35\00:02:00.79
time comes we're
excited here at 3ABN,
00:02:00.80\00:02:02.87
because we love Camp meeting.
00:02:02.88\00:02:04.37
And you'll forgive me
I do not have my roller
00:02:04.73\00:02:06.61
skates on this
year. We're on the ground,
00:02:06.62\00:02:09.65
on terra firma, on flat
earth, but maybe we'll do
00:02:09.66\00:02:12.24
that again. Let's have
prayer and begin because
00:02:12.26\00:02:15.18
we've got an
exciting program this morning,
00:02:15.19\00:02:17.08
a Spirit blessed and
a Spirit filled program.
00:02:17.09\00:02:19.70
Let's begin with prayer.
00:02:20.00\00:02:21.53
Father God, we
thank you so very much for
00:02:21.54\00:02:24.85
Your word, which is
a lamp unto our feet,
00:02:24.86\00:02:27.65
and a light on the
path that shines before us.
00:02:28.17\00:02:30.77
We thank you Father
for the power of the word,
00:02:31.34\00:02:33.97
we thankful for
what it does in our lives
00:02:34.34\00:02:36.51
and in our hearts,
and we ask Lord that
00:02:36.52\00:02:38.66
as we hear, we
will be not just hearers
00:02:38.67\00:02:42.36
but doers of the
world. Because we know
00:02:42.37\00:02:45.31
that it is in the
doing that we are made like
00:02:45.32\00:02:48.39
Christ Jesus. So,
fill us with Your Spirit
00:02:48.40\00:02:51.37
this day, come in
and speak to us through
00:02:51.38\00:02:54.33
the music and
through the spoken word.
00:02:54.34\00:02:56.66
And we thank you
for being with us
00:02:56.67\00:02:59.42
in Jesus name, amen.
Now, I need you to do
00:02:59.43\00:03:02.95
some smile for me
'cause you look good
00:03:02.96\00:03:05.81
when you smile, praise
the Lord, that's beautiful.
00:03:05.82\00:03:08.55
About a year ago we
were looking for individuals
00:03:09.22\00:03:12.43
to help us with
our Ten Commandments
00:03:13.14\00:03:15.37
Weekend in Washington D.C.
00:03:15.38\00:03:17.01
and Danny had
asked me to be in charge
00:03:17.58\00:03:20.55
of getting music for the
Ten Commandments Weekend.
00:03:20.56\00:03:23.98
And so, we went to
D.C. and we talked with
00:03:23.99\00:03:25.70
some individuals,
and there were a lot of
00:03:25.71\00:03:28.59
people a lot of
names that we did not know
00:03:28.60\00:03:30.42
but universally everybody
said you've got to hear
00:03:31.04\00:03:34.25
this guy Gylchris Sprauve,
00:03:34.26\00:03:36.77
you've got to hear this
guy, everywhere I talked,
00:03:36.78\00:03:39.82
they said if you
want to get somebody,
00:03:39.83\00:03:41.58
get this guy,
number one, he's talented,
00:03:41.59\00:03:44.19
God has given him a
gift. But more than that
00:03:44.20\00:03:47.06
he is spiritual they
said, they said he sings
00:03:47.07\00:03:49.75
for the Lord and
he sings with the
00:03:49.76\00:03:51.71
power of the Lord. And
so, we didn't even test him,
00:03:51.72\00:03:56.85
we didn't give him a
trial; we didn't call him
00:03:56.86\00:03:59.00
in and see if his,
if his music was good,
00:03:59.01\00:04:02.12
we just took the word
of the brethren because
00:04:02.13\00:04:04.18
everybody said
he's the real deal and
00:04:04.19\00:04:07.96
he loves Jesus.
And so, we took a,
00:04:07.97\00:04:10.17
we took a flier on
him and, and praise God
00:04:10.46\00:04:12.58
he was indeed the real deal.
00:04:12.59\00:04:14.15
And so, this year
when we were looking for
00:04:14.58\00:04:16.63
individuals to come
and be part of this year's
00:04:16.97\00:04:19.41
Camp meeting as we're
sitting in the meeting
00:04:19.42\00:04:21.25
and Danny said,
well who should we invite
00:04:21.96\00:04:25.66
and the names came
to the service again.
00:04:26.23\00:04:27.91
Let's, let's bring
Gylchris again because
00:04:27.92\00:04:30.45
he writes music for
the Lord and he sings
00:04:30.46\00:04:32.89
for the Lord and
he lives for the Lord.
00:04:33.01\00:04:34.89
And there's a
blessing in his voice
00:04:35.37\00:04:37.20
and in his music.
And so, we introduce
00:04:37.21\00:04:39.39
to you again Gylchris Sprauve.
00:04:39.40\00:04:41.36
Good morning,
everyone. Good morning.
00:04:52.52\00:04:54.59
I'd like to share this
song that's become very
00:04:54.86\00:04:58.45
dear to my heart,
one that summarizes
00:04:58.46\00:05:00.95
the message of what
we do as Christians.
00:05:00.96\00:05:02.85
In heaven's eyes
there are no losers,
00:05:04.09\00:05:06.16
every single one of us
means a great deal to God,
00:05:06.83\00:05:09.98
so much so that He would
give His Son to die for us.
00:05:09.99\00:05:13.62
Who's been
inspired by the words?
00:05:14.34\00:05:15.45
A fervent prayer
rose up to heaven,
00:05:33.68\00:05:40.83
a fragile soul was losing ground
00:05:42.77\00:05:49.33
Sorting through
the earthly babble,
00:05:51.18\00:05:58.04
heaven heard the sound
00:05:59.75\00:06:04.81
This was a life
of no distinction,
00:06:07.16\00:06:13.38
no successes, only tries
00:06:16.05\00:06:21.91
And looking down
on this unlovely one,
00:06:23.59\00:06:31.94
there was love in heaven's eyes
00:06:32.41\00:06:39.90
In heaven's eyes,
there are no losers,
00:06:39.91\00:06:47.16
in heaven's eyes
no hopeless cause
00:06:48.35\00:06:55.47
Only people like you
with feelings like me
00:06:56.08\00:07:04.28
amazed by the grace we
can find In heaven's eyes
00:07:04.93\00:07:17.59
We orphan child,
the wayward father,
00:07:27.41\00:07:35.56
the homeless
traveler in the rain
00:07:36.02\00:07:42.75
When life goes by and no one
00:07:43.58\00:07:48.84
bothers heaven feels the pain
00:07:49.01\00:07:57.02
Looking down, God
sees each heart ache,
00:08:00.02\00:08:06.38
knows each
sorrow, hears each cry
00:08:07.99\00:08:14.32
And looking up, we
see compassion's fire
00:08:15.70\00:08:23.35
ablaze in heaven's eyes
00:08:24.18\00:08:30.97
In heaven's eyes,
there are no losers,
00:08:31.48\00:08:38.22
in heaven's eyes
no hopeless cause
00:08:39.45\00:08:46.59
Only people like you
with feelings like me
00:08:47.42\00:08:55.44
amazed by the grace we can find
00:08:55.89\00:09:05.92
in heaven's eyes,
there are no losers,
00:09:05.93\00:09:14.13
in heaven's eyes
there is no hopeless cause
00:09:14.14\00:09:22.86
Only people like you
with feelings like me
00:09:23.33\00:09:31.88
And we're amazed by the grace
00:09:35.29\00:09:39.78
we can find In heaven's eyes!
00:09:40.10\00:09:58.36
Amen. Amen.
00:10:00.04\00:10:01.68
Amen and amen. Thank
you, Gylchris so very,
00:10:04.52\00:10:09.49
very much. Some of
you maybed force to do
00:10:09.50\00:10:13.40
a bit of a double
take because we are
00:10:13.41\00:10:14.95
accustomed to
seeing Stephen Bohr
00:10:14.96\00:10:17.38
in the evening. He
spends much time in,
00:10:17.39\00:10:20.44
in my bedroom, in
evening as he does,
00:10:20.45\00:10:23.26
I suspect in most of viewers,
00:10:23.27\00:10:24.75
he's the last thing
that many times we watch
00:10:24.76\00:10:27.42
before we, we, we go to
bed. He is an insightful
00:10:27.43\00:10:30.94
preacher of the word. Amen.
00:10:31.30\00:10:32.84
And I've, I've got
to say this right before
00:10:32.85\00:10:34.73
I bring him out, my favorite
00:10:34.74\00:10:36.20
Stephen Bohr story.
My wife is a Panamanian,
00:10:36.21\00:10:39.14
in last summer we were in Panama
00:10:39.15\00:10:41.16
visiting her folks,
they're kind of up in age
00:10:41.17\00:10:43.64
and we'd like to
sort of keep tabs on them
00:10:43.65\00:10:45.34
and we heard that Stephen Bohr
00:10:45.35\00:10:47.48
was in Panama. And
of course he speaks
00:10:47.49\00:10:49.84
fluent Spanish. And his Church,
00:10:50.19\00:10:52.33
the Fresno Central
Church and some others
00:10:52.34\00:10:54.64
had gone way up into
the mountains to build
00:10:54.65\00:10:58.40
a Church for
the mountain people.
00:10:58.41\00:10:59.92
And you wouldn't
believe it, but up in the
00:11:00.36\00:11:02.03
mountains of Panama it
gets very cold at night,
00:11:02.04\00:11:04.26
it can drop to
30-40 degrees from an
00:11:04.27\00:11:06.85
you know, an 80
degree morning turn into
00:11:07.81\00:11:10.15
a 40 degree night, so
if you go out with shorts
00:11:10.16\00:11:12.17
and sandals and a T-shirt,
you will freeze to death
00:11:12.18\00:11:15.50
out there when the
sun goes down because
00:11:15.51\00:11:17.14
it really gets cold.
So, we went to see him
00:11:17.15\00:11:19.65
just to spend sometime with him.
00:11:20.50\00:11:21.73
And the one day that
we traveled all the way
00:11:21.74\00:11:23.88
to the mountains he
had taken to Church,
00:11:23.89\00:11:25.91
to Church down to the beach.
00:11:25.92\00:11:27.23
So, they weren't
even there, but my,
00:11:27.24\00:11:30.66
my sister-in-law being
a good Urban City person
00:11:30.67\00:11:34.65
when we got out of the
car to go to see the site
00:11:34.66\00:11:37.71
where they were building
locked the keys in the car,
00:11:37.72\00:11:40.63
I mean locked all
doors. And now, this is a place
00:11:40.88\00:11:42.76
where we're way
remote in the mountains,
00:11:42.77\00:11:44.92
no cellphone, no one
to talk to, you're just
00:11:44.93\00:11:48.89
out there by
yourself. And so I, I, I have to
00:11:48.90\00:11:52.38
blame Pastor Bohr
for allowing the old man
00:11:52.39\00:11:54.87
in me to come, to
come back to the surface
00:11:54.88\00:11:57.53
because I, I said, I
will get us into this car.
00:11:58.14\00:12:01.27
Amen. Even if
I've to use some old
00:12:01.28\00:12:03.78
New York City tricks, I
will get us into this car
00:12:03.79\00:12:06.60
because we can't call
anybody, there's no tow
00:12:07.13\00:12:10.76
service and we're in
the middle of the mountains,
00:12:10.77\00:12:12.37
the temperature is dropping,
00:12:12.38\00:12:13.35
it was 70, then 60, then 50 and
00:12:13.36\00:12:15.96
people are you
know, beginning to shiver.
00:12:15.97\00:12:17.56
Let's say I say, just
turn your backs and go away
00:12:17.57\00:12:19.98
and give me 30 minutes I
will get us into this car.
00:12:20.32\00:12:22.91
Then behold I got into that car.
00:12:23.66\00:12:25.24
We got to do some
things to get us into the car,
00:12:26.17\00:12:29.43
but I, I, I thought
it was justified because
00:12:29.44\00:12:31.91
we had to get home.
So, I blame Pastor Bohr
00:12:32.25\00:12:34.97
for bringing the
old man out of me 'cause
00:12:34.98\00:12:37.96
we went to see him
and he was not even there.
00:12:37.97\00:12:39.80
He is the speaker
for secrets unsealed
00:12:39.81\00:12:42.91
and of course the
pastor of the Fresno Central
00:12:42.92\00:12:45.96
Seventh-day Adventist Church.
00:12:45.97\00:12:47.10
He is a man of
God and a, a good man.
00:12:47.11\00:12:49.81
A good man to talk to
and he spent much time
00:12:50.28\00:12:53.12
in the word, and those
of you who have listened
00:12:53.13\00:12:55.30
to his messages
you know he's a student
00:12:55.31\00:12:57.14
of the word. Amen.
And divides the word
00:12:57.52\00:13:00.81
with insight and
we're just love to hear
00:13:00.82\00:13:04.37
him speaking so
without further ado we present
00:13:04.38\00:13:06.80
you now Pastor Stephen Bohr.
00:13:06.81\00:13:08.97
Amen. Amen.
00:13:09.64\00:13:10.95
Good morning. Good morning.
00:13:19.74\00:13:21.44
It's good to see all
of you here this morning.
00:13:22.15\00:13:24.34
Amen. Hungry for the
word, right? Amen, amen.
00:13:24.70\00:13:28.27
Before we study God's
word, let's bow our heads
00:13:28.28\00:13:30.89
and we'll ask
the Lord's guidance.
00:13:30.90\00:13:32.45
Father in heaven, we
thank you for the awesome
00:13:33.44\00:13:35.57
privilege of being here at 3ABN,
00:13:35.58\00:13:38.57
we thank you for the
privilege of Christian
00:13:40.15\00:13:42.00
fellowship for
singing praises to your name,
00:13:42.01\00:13:44.17
being able to
pray together. Amen.
00:13:44.66\00:13:46.62
And especially, the
privilege of studying
00:13:46.63\00:13:49.56
your word. We ask
Father that your Holy Spirit
00:13:49.57\00:13:52.53
will be with us this
morning, open our ears
00:13:52.54\00:13:55.64
and our eyes that we
might have understanding.
00:13:55.65\00:13:57.48
And we thank you
for hearing our prayer
00:13:58.36\00:13:59.94
for we ask it in
Jesus name, amen. Amen.
00:13:59.95\00:14:03.58
I'd like to begin
this morning by turning
00:14:04.98\00:14:07.87
in my Bible and I
invite you turn in yours to
00:14:07.88\00:14:11.17
the Book of
Revelation chapter 15,
00:14:11.87\00:14:13.88
and I want to read verse 2.
00:14:14.95\00:14:17.26
Revelation
chapter 15 and verse 2.
00:14:17.59\00:14:21.10
Here John the
Apostle inspired by the
00:14:24.14\00:14:26.44
Holy Spirit says
this, And I saw something
00:14:26.45\00:14:30.80
like a sea of
glass mingled with fire,
00:14:30.81\00:14:35.34
and those who have the
victory over the beast,
00:14:36.49\00:14:40.87
over his image and
over his mark and over the
00:14:41.90\00:14:46.11
number of his
name, standing on the
00:14:46.12\00:14:49.19
sea of glass,
having the harps of God.
00:14:49.20\00:14:52.60
The Book of Revelation
is a Book of Contrasts.
00:14:54.74\00:14:57.01
And the two arch
enemies at the end of time
00:14:58.98\00:15:02.62
that are discussed in
the Book of Revelation
00:15:02.63\00:15:05.03
are Babylon and Israel.
However in the Christian
00:15:05.04\00:15:10.39
world there is a
great debate today about
00:15:10.40\00:15:12.92
who Israel is? Most
Christians today believe
00:15:13.56\00:15:18.82
that Israel in the Book
of Revelation is speaking
00:15:18.83\00:15:23.17
about literal Israel.
What I would like to discuss
00:15:23.18\00:15:28.98
in our seminar this morning,
00:15:28.99\00:15:30.65
is this issue of
Israel. Who is Israel?
00:15:30.66\00:15:35.60
With whom is God going
to fulfill His promises
00:15:36.22\00:15:39.39
in the end time?
And I'd like to approach
00:15:39.55\00:15:43.08
this in ten points.
And I'm always worry about
00:15:43.09\00:15:49.17
mentioning the
number of points because
00:15:49.18\00:15:50.98
everybody starts
counting to see when
00:15:50.99\00:15:52.81
I'm gonna end? But I
hope that I'll be able to
00:15:52.82\00:15:57.95
keep you engaged
during the few minutes
00:15:57.96\00:15:59.99
that we have together
in our study this morning.
00:16:00.00\00:16:02.37
There is one thing
that we're going to notice
00:16:03.59\00:16:05.77
we're absolutely
certain. And that is that Israel
00:16:05.78\00:16:10.27
in Bible prophecy
is Christ's centered.
00:16:10.81\00:16:14.24
There is no Israel
outside of Jesus Christ.
00:16:14.97\00:16:18.58
Amen. Amen. Outside
of those who have been
00:16:18.59\00:16:21.74
converted to Jesus
Christ and we'll notice
00:16:21.75\00:16:25.20
that as we discuss
these ten points that
00:16:25.21\00:16:28.84
I want to share
with you this morning.
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.25
The first thing that
I want us to notice is
00:16:31.68\00:16:33.90
that according to
scripture Jesus Christ
00:16:35.05\00:16:39.89
has only one flock.
Yeah, amen. You see these days
00:16:40.54\00:16:47.09
Christians say that
God has two separable
00:16:47.10\00:16:50.78
peoples, He has the Church and
00:16:50.79\00:16:53.53
He has literal Israel.
And the Church is gonna be
00:16:53.54\00:16:57.20
raptured to heaven
and the tribulation is for
00:16:57.21\00:16:59.82
the Jews who are left
behind. In other words,
00:16:59.83\00:17:02.69
God has a plan for
Israel and He has a plan
00:17:02.70\00:17:04.91
for the Gentiles, but
I'm gonna show you this
00:17:04.92\00:17:07.18
morning that
actually God has only one plan
00:17:07.19\00:17:10.00
for one people.
Amen. The first point that
00:17:10.01\00:17:12.97
I want us to notice
is that there is only one
00:17:12.98\00:17:16.52
fold and one
shepherd. Turn with me in your
00:17:16.53\00:17:21.54
Bibles to John
chapter 10 and verse 16,
00:17:21.55\00:17:25.30
John chapter 10 and verse 16.
00:17:26.42\00:17:28.60
And then we're going
to go to the next chapter,
00:17:30.05\00:17:32.31
chapter 11, which
continues discussing
00:17:32.32\00:17:34.56
this issue of the
fold and the shepherd.
00:17:34.57\00:17:36.73
It says there in John
chapter 10 and verse 16,
00:17:37.66\00:17:40.24
Jesus is speaking,
And other sheep I have,
00:17:40.71\00:17:45.66
which are not of
this fold. By this fold,
00:17:45.67\00:17:49.72
he's referring to
Israel, literal Israel.
00:17:49.73\00:17:53.29
And other sheep I have
which are not of this fold,
00:17:54.19\00:17:57.20
them also I must
bring, and they will hear
00:17:58.11\00:18:03.93
my voice, and
there will be one flock
00:18:03.94\00:18:08.93
and one shepherd.
How many flocks does
00:18:09.53\00:18:14.02
Jesus Christ have? One.
One flock, one shepherd.
00:18:14.03\00:18:18.03
Notice John 11 verses 51 and 52.
00:18:18.64\00:18:22.00
John 11 verses 51
and 52. In John 11 Jesus
00:18:22.60\00:18:28.37
continuous discussing
this issue of the flock
00:18:28.38\00:18:31.01
and the shepherd.
And He's speaking about
00:18:31.02\00:18:33.83
the comment of
Caiphus, who said that it was
00:18:34.22\00:18:36.95
necessary for one man
to die and not that the
00:18:36.96\00:18:40.06
nation would disappear.
And Jesus says this in
00:18:40.07\00:18:44.91
John 11 verses 51.
Actually this is a comment
00:18:44.92\00:18:49.64
about what Caiphus
said, Now this he did not say
00:18:50.00\00:18:54.51
on his own authority;
but being high priest that
00:18:54.52\00:18:58.97
year he prophesied
that Jesus would die for
00:18:58.98\00:19:03.05
that nation, or for
the nation. Which nation?
00:19:03.06\00:19:05.99
The literal
nation of Israel and now
00:19:07.14\00:19:09.42
notice this And not
for that nation only,
00:19:09.43\00:19:13.94
but also that He
would, what? Gather together
00:19:15.29\00:19:20.01
in one the
children of God who were
00:19:20.35\00:19:24.78
scattered abroad. So,
does the plan of God include,
00:19:24.79\00:19:30.60
include two separable
peoples? Absolutely not,
00:19:30.61\00:19:34.66
Jesus it says here,
died for that nation
00:19:35.93\00:19:38.99
but not only for
that nation, but so that
00:19:39.77\00:19:42.67
he could gather
together that nation as well as
00:19:42.68\00:19:46.32
the other sheep, so
that there would be one
00:19:46.33\00:19:48.75
fold and one
shepherd, not two peoples.
00:19:48.76\00:19:52.87
The second point
that I want us to notice,
00:19:54.47\00:19:56.15
is that according to
scripture God has only
00:19:56.16\00:20:00.08
one Israel. And that
one Israel is not defined
00:20:00.49\00:20:06.25
by geography, it's
not defined by genetics,
00:20:07.83\00:20:12.62
it's not defined by
what your last name is,
00:20:14.11\00:20:17.56
it's defined by your
connection to Jesus Christ.
00:20:19.02\00:20:22.41
Notice Galatians
chapter 3 and verses 20,
00:20:23.91\00:20:27.42
and actually verse
16 first of all and then
00:20:27.94\00:20:30.22
we'll go to verses 26 to 29,
00:20:30.23\00:20:32.14
Galatians
chapter 3 and verse 16.
00:20:32.46\00:20:34.88
I want you to notice
that there is only one true
00:20:34.89\00:20:37.17
seed of Abraham
and that's Jesus.
00:20:37.18\00:20:39.68
It says there in
verse 16, Now to Abraham
00:20:41.43\00:20:44.97
and his seed were
the promises made.
00:20:44.98\00:20:47.42
He does not say and
to seeds as of many,
00:20:48.87\00:20:52.71
but as of one. And to
your seed who is Christ?
00:20:52.72\00:20:58.07
How many true
seeds does Abraham have?
00:20:58.08\00:21:00.38
One. One, not many
one. You say what about us?
00:21:00.84\00:21:04.33
Aren't we children of Abraham?
00:21:04.34\00:21:05.86
Yes, only if we
are linked with Jesus,
00:21:06.37\00:21:11.09
the true seed. Notice verse 26,
00:21:11.10\00:21:14.16
jumping down to
verse 26. For you are all
00:21:14.17\00:21:17.94
sons of God through
faith in Christ Jesus,
00:21:17.95\00:21:23.03
for as many of you as
were baptized into Christ
00:21:24.04\00:21:28.69
have put on Christ. Is
this centered in Christ?
00:21:29.69\00:21:33.41
Most certainly is. There
is neither Jew nor Greek,
00:21:33.98\00:21:37.91
there is neither slave
nor free, there is neither
00:21:38.52\00:21:42.40
male nor female, for
you are all one, how many?
00:21:42.41\00:21:47.86
One. One fold, one
shepherd. Says here,
00:21:48.24\00:21:51.24
you are all one in Christ Jesus.
00:21:51.25\00:21:55.32
And if you are
Christ's then you are Abraham
00:21:55.89\00:22:00.73
seed and heirs
according to the promise. Amen.
00:22:00.74\00:22:05.52
How many Israels
does God have? One.
00:22:05.53\00:22:07.81
One and how is Israel
defined? It is defined
00:22:07.82\00:22:11.59
by your
connection with Jesus Christ.
00:22:11.91\00:22:15.71
It is not defined by
the fact that you live in
00:22:16.40\00:22:19.79
Israel or your
last name is Goldberg.
00:22:19.80\00:22:22.66
It is defined by
your connection with
00:22:24.24\00:22:27.07
Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
00:22:27.08\00:22:29.67
So, God has only
one flock, one shepherd
00:22:30.25\00:22:34.76
and He has only one
Israel. Number three,
00:22:34.77\00:22:38.19
God has or Christ
has only one body.
00:22:40.26\00:22:44.81
Because if Christ
had more than one body,
00:22:46.72\00:22:48.63
He would be a monster.
Now, I want you to notice
00:22:48.64\00:22:52.56
Ephesians 2
verses 13 through 18.
00:22:52.57\00:22:56.01
Ephesians 2
verses 13 through 18.
00:22:57.01\00:22:59.80
It says here, but
now in Christ Jesus.
00:23:01.34\00:23:04.27
I'm gonna
emphasize certain phrases.
00:23:04.72\00:23:06.55
But now in Christ
Jesus, you who were once
00:23:06.56\00:23:12.27
afar off, who are
those? The Gentiles, yes.
00:23:12.28\00:23:17.38
Those of you who were
once far off have been
00:23:17.76\00:23:21.56
brought near, how?
By the Blood of Christ.
00:23:21.57\00:23:26.62
For He Himself, who is
that? Jesus, He Himself
00:23:27.46\00:23:32.89
is our peace, who
has made both one.
00:23:32.90\00:23:39.18
There you have the
word again has made
00:23:39.19\00:23:41.10
what both? The
Jews and the Gentiles,
00:23:41.11\00:23:46.53
He has made both
one, and has broken down
00:23:46.54\00:23:50.37
the middle wall of
separation. Wall to He,
00:23:50.38\00:23:53.34
who should build that
wall again? Having abolished
00:23:53.35\00:23:57.38
in his flesh the
amenity that is the law of
00:23:57.39\00:24:00.21
commandments
contained in ordinances,
00:24:00.22\00:24:02.15
so as to create in Himself.
00:24:02.50\00:24:05.61
notice once again
it's defined by whom?
00:24:05.95\00:24:09.48
Jesus, in Himself
one new man from two,
00:24:09.95\00:24:16.15
thus making peace. And
that he might reconcile
00:24:16.78\00:24:20.47
them both to God
in, what? One body.
00:24:20.48\00:24:25.70
So, how many
bodies does Jesus have?
00:24:26.41\00:24:28.34
One composed of Gentiles, and
00:24:28.35\00:24:29.78
one composed of
Jews? No, one body composed
00:24:29.79\00:24:33.90
of Jews and
Gentiles. And so it says,
00:24:33.91\00:24:36.75
once again in verse
16. And that he might
00:24:37.09\00:24:39.68
reconcile them
both to God in one body
00:24:39.69\00:24:42.15
through the cross,
thereby putting to death
00:24:42.48\00:24:45.38
the enmity. And he
came and preached peace
00:24:45.39\00:24:49.08
to you who were
afar off, and to those
00:24:49.09\00:24:52.47
who were near,
that's Gentiles and Jews.
00:24:52.48\00:24:54.95
For through Him,
there it is again.
00:24:55.31\00:24:57.36
For through him we both
have access by one Spirit
00:24:57.37\00:25:01.95
to the Father. How
many bodies does Jesus have?
00:25:02.24\00:25:06.65
One. One, how many
flocks does He have?
00:25:06.66\00:25:09.32
One. One, how many
Israels does He have?
00:25:09.65\00:25:11.92
One. One, notice First
Corinthians still on the
00:25:11.93\00:25:15.43
concept of the
body, First Corinthians 12
00:25:15.44\00:25:17.60
and verse 13. Here the
Apostle Paul states this,
00:25:17.61\00:25:23.52
For by one Spirit we
were all baptized into
00:25:24.80\00:25:29.93
one body whether Jews or Greeks,
00:25:29.94\00:25:34.56
whether slaves or
free and have all been made
00:25:35.10\00:25:39.49
to drink into one
Spirit. Do you notice the
00:25:39.50\00:25:43.02
emphasis on one in
all of these passages?
00:25:43.03\00:25:45.57
Notice Ephesians
chapter 3 and verse 6,
00:25:46.41\00:25:48.94
still on the
concept of the body.
00:25:49.31\00:25:51.04
Ephesians chapter 3
and verse 6, it says there,
00:25:51.05\00:25:55.14
That the Gentiles
should be fellow heirs.
00:25:55.80\00:25:59.36
You see the Jews are
heirs, but the Gentiles
00:26:00.00\00:26:02.59
are what? Fellow
heirs, of the what?
00:26:02.60\00:26:06.62
Of the same body,
and partakers of his
00:26:07.08\00:26:11.94
promise in
Christ, notice once again,
00:26:11.95\00:26:14.83
in Christ through the
gospel. What is the key?
00:26:14.84\00:26:19.96
The blood you have
or the Savior you serve.
00:26:20.47\00:26:23.86
It's the Savior you serve.
00:26:24.82\00:26:26.48
There is no such
thing as an Israel
00:26:26.99\00:26:29.27
outside of Jesus.
The eyes that are looking
00:26:29.28\00:26:33.13
to the Middle East, to
the literal Jewish nation,
00:26:33.14\00:26:36.95
for the fulfillment
of prophecy, prophecy
00:26:36.96\00:26:38.85
cannot be fulfilled
them. Because the amenity
00:26:38.86\00:26:42.69
is against Christ
and His people those
00:26:42.70\00:26:45.80
who have linked themselves with
00:26:45.81\00:26:47.98
Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
00:26:47.99\00:26:49.85
Now, the question
is what is the body?
00:26:49.86\00:26:51.55
It says, here that
they, Christ unites Jew
00:26:52.33\00:26:55.45
and gentile into one
body. What is the body?
00:26:55.46\00:26:57.36
Colossians 1 verses 18 and 24,
00:26:57.37\00:27:00.59
Colossians chapter
1 verses 18 and 24.
00:27:01.17\00:27:04.79
Let's notice what the body is?
00:27:05.25\00:27:06.97
That one body
composed of Jew and gentile.
00:27:06.98\00:27:09.10
Speaking about Jesus it
says, And he is the head
00:27:10.81\00:27:13.72
of the body. What's
next? He is the head
00:27:13.73\00:27:18.92
of the body the
Church: who is the beginning,
00:27:18.93\00:27:22.42
the firstborn from the
dead; that in all things
00:27:22.43\00:27:25.71
he may have the preeminence.
00:27:25.72\00:27:28.09
I now rejoice in
my sufferings for you,
00:27:29.26\00:27:31.49
and fill up my flesh
what is lacking in the
00:27:31.87\00:27:35.00
afflictions of Christ
for the sake of his body,
00:27:35.01\00:27:38.36
which is the
Church. So, what is the
00:27:38.69\00:27:43.16
body of Christ? The Church.
00:27:43.17\00:27:45.57
How many bodies does Jesus have?
00:27:45.88\00:27:47.51
One, it is composed
of Jews and Gentiles.
00:27:47.87\00:27:51.36
So, He has one
flock, one Israel, one body,
00:27:52.80\00:27:58.05
and number four,
the redeemed are found
00:27:59.03\00:28:02.72
in one city. Notice Revelation
00:28:02.73\00:28:06.59
chapter 21 and verse 2,
00:28:06.60\00:28:08.62
Revelation
chapter 21 and verse 2.
00:28:09.22\00:28:12.25
And speaking
about the New Jerusalem
00:28:12.71\00:28:14.56
and it says this, Then
I, John saw the Holy City,
00:28:14.93\00:28:20.96
New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven
00:28:21.76\00:28:26.01
from God,
prepared as a bride adorned
00:28:26.02\00:28:30.06
for her husband.
Who is the husband?
00:28:30.07\00:28:32.04
Jesus is the
husband. Who is the bride?
00:28:33.31\00:28:35.36
The bride is His
people Israel, the Church
00:28:36.68\00:28:40.97
composed of all of the redeemed.
00:28:41.49\00:28:43.35
You say, how do we know that?
00:28:43.36\00:28:44.61
Go with me to
Revelation 21 and verse 12.
00:28:45.20\00:28:47.65
Let's read about the
twelve gates of the City.
00:28:48.24\00:28:51.83
It says there in Revelation 21
00:28:52.39\00:28:54.16
and verse 12,
speaking about the Holy City.
00:28:54.17\00:28:56.34
And she had a
great and high wall with
00:28:56.35\00:29:01.00
twelve gates, and
twelve angels at the gates
00:29:01.01\00:29:05.03
and names written on
them, which are the names
00:29:05.53\00:29:08.87
of the twelve tribes
of the children of Israel.
00:29:08.88\00:29:12.34
So, the gates have
the names of the what?
00:29:12.91\00:29:15.01
Of the twelve tribes,
but notice whose names
00:29:15.78\00:29:21.57
are on the
foundations of the Holy City?
00:29:21.58\00:29:23.87
Revelation
chapter 21 and verse 14,
00:29:24.32\00:29:27.24
Revelation
chapter 21 and verse 14,
00:29:27.75\00:29:30.41
it says, Now the wall
of the city had twelve
00:29:31.24\00:29:33.41
foundations, and on
them were written the names
00:29:33.42\00:29:37.91
of the twelve
apostles of the lamb.
00:29:37.92\00:29:41.19
One city whose gates
have the names of the
00:29:42.46\00:29:46.69
sons of Jacob, of
the twelve tribes and
00:29:46.70\00:29:49.10
whose foundations
have the names of the
00:29:49.11\00:29:52.19
Holy Apostles. And
so, there is one city
00:29:52.20\00:29:55.39
composed of Old Testament
and New Testament saints.
00:29:55.70\00:29:59.55
By the way, did you
know the scripture says
00:30:01.38\00:30:03.84
that the Old
Testament saints never looked
00:30:04.16\00:30:07.59
towards the reestablishment of
00:30:07.60\00:30:09.59
literal Jerusalem;
they looked forward to the
00:30:09.60\00:30:12.84
Heavenly City. Amen.
Notice Hebrews chapter 11
00:30:12.85\00:30:16.50
and we'll read verses 9 and 10
00:30:16.89\00:30:18.73
and then we'll jump
down to verses 13 through 16.
00:30:18.74\00:30:21.66
Hebrews 11 verses
9 and 10. It says,
00:30:22.90\00:30:27.46
By faith he, that
is Abraham dwelt in the
00:30:27.47\00:30:30.48
land of promise as
in a foreign country.
00:30:30.49\00:30:34.21
Why would it be
in foreign country?
00:30:34.22\00:30:35.85
If God said that
that was gonna be his,
00:30:35.86\00:30:37.77
his homeland. Continue
saying, dwelling in tents
00:30:37.78\00:30:42.61
with Isaac and
Jacob, the heirs with him of
00:30:42.62\00:30:46.53
the same promise.
Speaking about Abraham,
00:30:46.54\00:30:49.23
it says; for he
waited for the city which has
00:30:49.24\00:30:52.43
foundations, whose
builder and maker is God.
00:30:52.44\00:30:58.34
What city did
Abraham look forward to?
00:30:59.60\00:31:01.30
The city that God
build. What city is that?
00:31:02.96\00:31:05.54
The New Jerusalem.
Verse 13, speaking about
00:31:06.46\00:31:09.70
all of these heroes
that are mentioned up
00:31:09.71\00:31:12.00
to this point it includes
Sarah, it includes Abel,
00:31:12.01\00:31:15.66
it includes
Abraham, it includes Noah.
00:31:15.67\00:31:18.45
Notice These all
died in faith, not having
00:31:18.84\00:31:23.21
received the promises,
but have, but having seen
00:31:23.22\00:31:26.87
them afar off,
were assured of them,
00:31:26.88\00:31:29.26
embraced them, and
confessed that they were
00:31:29.68\00:31:32.08
strangers and
pilgrims on the earth.
00:31:32.09\00:31:34.40
What were they?
Strangers and pilgrims
00:31:35.99\00:31:38.79
on the earth. In other
words, they were aliens.
00:31:38.80\00:31:41.94
Now, notice verse 14,
For those who say such
00:31:44.77\00:31:49.46
things declare plainly
that they seek a homeland.
00:31:49.47\00:31:54.16
Was that homeland cannon little,
00:31:54.17\00:31:56.04
little cannon
in the Middle East?
00:31:56.15\00:31:57.38
No, and truly if they
had called to mind that
00:31:57.66\00:32:01.22
country from
which they had come out,
00:32:01.23\00:32:02.83
they would have had
opportunity to return,
00:32:03.31\00:32:05.34
but now they desire
a better, these are the
00:32:05.84\00:32:09.09
Old Testament
sayings. A better that is the
00:32:09.17\00:32:12.06
heavenly country.
Therefore God is not
00:32:12.07\00:32:15.44
ashamed to be called their God,
00:32:15.45\00:32:17.18
for He has prepared
a city for them. Amen.
00:32:17.52\00:32:22.55
So, God's people are
gonna live in how many cities?
00:32:23.93\00:32:25.83
One. Earthly
Jerusalem for the literal Jews
00:32:26.63\00:32:29.85
and the heavenly
Jerusalem for the Church.
00:32:30.75\00:32:33.53
No, that city has
the names of the tribes
00:32:34.02\00:32:38.40
and the apostles,
its one city with all
00:32:38.41\00:32:41.25
of God's saints.
Number five, both the Old
00:32:41.26\00:32:48.46
and New Testament
Church are represented
00:32:48.79\00:32:51.51
by the same woman.
00:32:51.52\00:32:52.86
You see, if God had
two wives he would be a
00:32:56.84\00:32:59.07
bigamist, spiritually speaking.
00:32:59.20\00:33:03.21
He has only one
woman, one bride.
00:33:04.05\00:33:08.58
Notice Revelation
chapter 12, Revelation
00:33:09.98\00:33:13.44
chapter 12 and verses 1 and 2.
00:33:13.45\00:33:16.82
it says Now a great
sign appeared in heaven.
00:33:18.61\00:33:20.94
A woman, what does
the woman represent?
00:33:22.29\00:33:24.06
The Church, a woman
clothed with the Sun,
00:33:24.72\00:33:27.12
what does the Sun represent?
00:33:27.13\00:33:28.75
The righteousness of
Christ garments of light.
00:33:30.61\00:33:33.89
Jesus is the son
of righteousness.
00:33:35.33\00:33:37.03
So, how is this woman
defined? She is defined
00:33:37.42\00:33:39.83
by her relationship
to Jesus. By the way,
00:33:39.84\00:33:44.32
the Holy City is the,
is the bride of the lamb
00:33:44.33\00:33:49.06
and the lake of
the city is the lamb.
00:33:49.38\00:33:51.16
So, the center of
the city is Jesus.
00:33:52.44\00:33:55.11
Notice what he continues saying,
00:33:57.24\00:33:58.65
once again verse 1.
Now a great sign appeared
00:33:58.66\00:34:00.60
in heaven. A woman
clothed with the sun,
00:34:00.61\00:34:02.16
with the moon under
her feet, and on her head
00:34:02.17\00:34:04.13
a garland of twelve
stars. Then being with child,
00:34:04.14\00:34:06.74
she cried out in labor
and in pain to give birth.
00:34:06.75\00:34:09.18
What stage of the
Church is being described here?
00:34:10.32\00:34:12.22
Is this a New
Testament Church or the
00:34:12.23\00:34:13.59
Old Testament Church?
It's the Old Testament Church.
00:34:13.60\00:34:17.09
You say, how do
we know that? Because
00:34:17.10\00:34:18.26
a child hasn't been
born yet, you can't have
00:34:18.27\00:34:20.80
a New Testament
Church without the
00:34:20.81\00:34:22.06
birth of Jesus, right?
But now notice later on
00:34:22.07\00:34:26.19
in this chapter.
Actually let's read verse 5,
00:34:26.20\00:34:30.66
so you could see
who the child is?
00:34:30.67\00:34:32.07
She bore a male
child, who was to rule all
00:34:32.08\00:34:34.25
nations with a rod
of iron. And her child
00:34:34.26\00:34:36.23
was caught up to
God into His throne.
00:34:36.24\00:34:37.63
Later on, notice
that the woman now flees
00:34:37.89\00:34:40.45
to the wilderness
for twelve hundred
00:34:40.46\00:34:42.04
and sixty years,
what stage of the
00:34:42.05\00:34:44.27
Church is this? It's
the New Testament Church,
00:34:44.33\00:34:47.53
is it the same woman?
Of course, notice verse 6.
00:34:47.54\00:34:51.82
Then the woman fled
into the wilderness,
00:34:52.23\00:34:54.21
where she has a
place prepared by God that
00:34:54.22\00:34:57.37
they should feed
her there, one thousand
00:34:57.38\00:34:59.57
two hundred and sixty
days. So, God only has one
00:34:59.58\00:35:06.54
Church represented by one woman.
00:35:06.55\00:35:09.74
The Old Testament
Church that brings Jesus into
00:35:10.90\00:35:14.65
the world and the
New Testament Church
00:35:14.66\00:35:17.47
that flees to the wilderness.
00:35:17.48\00:35:18.75
There are not two
separable peoples,
00:35:18.76\00:35:20.96
there is one
people according to what
00:35:21.27\00:35:24.13
scripture teach
us. And by the way,
00:35:24.14\00:35:25.38
the number twelve
is very significant.
00:35:25.39\00:35:27.35
Why do you suppose
that God chose twelve
00:35:30.10\00:35:32.72
tribes and then Jesus
chose twelve apostles?
00:35:32.73\00:35:36.60
Because the number
twelve represents Israel
00:35:37.30\00:35:40.71
and represents
God's true people.
00:35:40.72\00:35:42.25
By choosing twelve apostles,
00:35:42.26\00:35:43.85
Jesus was saying,
I'm continuing Israel
00:35:43.86\00:35:46.95
in the Church. By
the way, have you ever
00:35:48.61\00:35:51.93
notice in Acts
chapter 1 that even before
00:35:51.94\00:35:53.96
the Holy Spirit fell
that the disciples felt that
00:35:53.97\00:35:57.50
they really needed to
elect the twelfth apostle.
00:35:57.51\00:36:00.09
Why would they make
it such a burden to name
00:36:01.55\00:36:03.31
a twelve apostle, why
did they have-to-have twelve?
00:36:03.32\00:36:06.16
Well, there's a
special reason. Jesus was gonna
00:36:06.97\00:36:09.82
begin service as high priest.
00:36:09.83\00:36:11.21
In fact, He was gonna
be invested on the day
00:36:11.69\00:36:13.71
of Pentecost as high
priest over His people.
00:36:13.72\00:36:16.16
And you see the high
priest had twelve stones
00:36:16.49\00:36:19.17
on his breastplate. He
had to represent all of
00:36:19.18\00:36:23.73
the people of God
as the high priest.
00:36:23.74\00:36:25.97
Therefore, it was
necessary to elect
00:36:26.46\00:36:28.38
number twelve. In other words,
00:36:28.39\00:36:30.51
there are twelve
tribes and there are
00:36:30.52\00:36:32.47
twelve apostles,
there is one people of God.
00:36:32.48\00:36:35.81
Amen. And it's
defined by your relationship
00:36:36.41\00:36:39.99
to whom? To
Jesus, you have to clothe
00:36:40.00\00:36:42.80
with the sun, the
woman is clothed with the
00:36:42.81\00:36:44.92
sun in the Old
Testament as well as in the
00:36:44.93\00:36:48.01
New Testament. Number six,
00:36:48.02\00:36:50.41
God's people are
represented by only one
00:36:52.44\00:36:55.60
fruit bearing tree.
Now, you've probably
00:36:56.07\00:37:00.90
read Romans 11
where it speaks about
00:37:00.91\00:37:03.04
the olive tree.
And I'm gonna read that
00:37:03.05\00:37:06.23
passage in a moment,
but I want you to catch
00:37:06.24\00:37:07.80
a picture, that olive
tree has natural branches.
00:37:07.81\00:37:11.65
The natural
branches represents the Jews,
00:37:12.96\00:37:16.20
literally speaking.
There is wild olive branches,
00:37:16.71\00:37:20.92
from a wild olive
tree that are grafted
00:37:20.93\00:37:22.99
into that natural
olive tree. Those branches
00:37:23.00\00:37:28.23
represent the
Gentiles. Now, there are several
00:37:28.24\00:37:33.81
categories here.
Number one, we'll notice
00:37:33.82\00:37:36.25
in this passage that
there are natural branches
00:37:36.26\00:37:38.59
that belong to the
natural tree that are retained
00:37:39.04\00:37:41.36
in the tree. I'm
gonna show you the reason
00:37:41.37\00:37:43.60
why they're
retained in a moment.
00:37:43.61\00:37:44.86
Then there are
some natural branches
00:37:45.54\00:37:47.28
that are cut off from that tree.
00:37:47.29\00:37:48.79
Then there are some
natural branches that
00:37:50.42\00:37:52.43
are grafted back into
the natural tree after
00:37:52.44\00:37:55.30
they're cut off. Then
you have wild olive branches
00:37:55.31\00:37:59.41
that are grafted into
the tree, but then God
00:37:59.42\00:38:01.83
warns that if, that if
you folks don't fulfill
00:38:01.84\00:38:04.54
the conditions, the
grafted branches are gonna be
00:38:04.55\00:38:07.62
cut off too. There's
only one tree composed
00:38:07.63\00:38:12.73
of natural branches
and wild olive branches.
00:38:12.74\00:38:15.78
Let's read that
passage in Romans 11 verse 17
00:38:17.00\00:38:20.01
to 26, it's a
pretty long passage,
00:38:20.02\00:38:22.15
but I think you'll be
able to make sense out of it.
00:38:22.16\00:38:23.82
Romans 11, 17 verse through 26.
00:38:23.83\00:38:27.08
Here the Apostle Paul says,
00:38:28.52\00:38:29.65
If some of the
branches were broken off,
00:38:29.66\00:38:31.49
those are the
natural branches, and you,
00:38:31.50\00:38:33.55
he is speaking to the
Gentiles, you've being
00:38:33.56\00:38:35.38
a wild olive tree
were grafted in among them
00:38:35.39\00:38:38.16
and with them became
a partaker of the root
00:38:39.51\00:38:41.76
and fatness of the olive tree.
00:38:41.77\00:38:43.23
Do not boast
against the branches.
00:38:44.02\00:38:45.99
In another words,
he sent to the Gentiles
00:38:46.00\00:38:47.18
just because you were
grafted into the tree,
00:38:47.19\00:38:49.09
don't think you're so great.
00:38:49.10\00:38:50.59
Do not boast
against the branches,
00:38:52.02\00:38:53.69
but if do you boast,
remember that you do not
00:38:54.25\00:38:56.93
support the root, but
the root supports you.
00:38:56.94\00:38:59.01
Jesus said, I am the
wine you are the what?
00:39:00.72\00:39:02.98
The branches, we
have to be linked with the
00:39:03.41\00:39:05.24
tree or with the wine.
00:39:05.25\00:39:06.56
Verse 19, You
will say then, branches
00:39:06.57\00:39:10.20
were broken off that
I might be grafted in.
00:39:10.21\00:39:12.39
And now comes to the key verse.
00:39:12.90\00:39:14.20
Well said. Because
of unbelief they were
00:39:14.21\00:39:17.44
broken off, in unbelief in whom?
00:39:17.45\00:39:19.21
In Jesus, that's
right. And you stand by faith.
00:39:20.30\00:39:23.84
In other words, you
were grafted in because
00:39:23.85\00:39:25.49
you have faith. Do
not be haughty, but fear.
00:39:25.50\00:39:29.64
For if God did not
spare the natural branches,
00:39:30.10\00:39:32.78
by the way, who did
not believe, he may not
00:39:33.09\00:39:35.86
spare you either.
Therefore consider the
00:39:35.87\00:39:39.05
goodness and severity of God:
00:39:39.06\00:39:40.56
and those who fell,
severity; but toward you,
00:39:40.94\00:39:43.85
goodness, if you
continue in His goodness.
00:39:43.86\00:39:46.59
Otherwise, you
also will be cut off.
00:39:47.03\00:39:49.21
And they also, if they
do, if they do not continue
00:39:49.64\00:39:53.06
in unbelief, will be grafted in.
00:39:53.07\00:39:55.28
What is the key
here? The key is to have
00:39:56.05\00:39:59.16
faith in Jesus. If you
don't believe in Jesus,
00:39:59.52\00:40:04.29
if you don't receive
Jesus, you're not part of the
00:40:04.30\00:40:06.77
olive tree, you're cut
off. And if you're cut off,
00:40:06.78\00:40:09.84
you're gonna die.
Because the branch
00:40:09.85\00:40:12.03
cannot survive without
being linked with the tree.
00:40:12.04\00:40:14.12
Verse 24, For if
you were cut off,
00:40:14.75\00:40:17.88
or cut out of olive
tree, which is wild by nature,
00:40:18.51\00:40:21.86
and were grafted
contrary to nature into a
00:40:22.20\00:40:24.52
cultivated olive
tree, how much more release
00:40:24.53\00:40:27.73
who are natural
branches, be grafted into their
00:40:28.21\00:40:31.29
own olive tree!
See, they were cut off
00:40:31.30\00:40:33.73
and now they
believe and they're grafted
00:40:33.74\00:40:35.64
into the tree. Verse
25, For I do not desire
00:40:35.65\00:40:39.05
brethren that you
should be ignorant
00:40:39.06\00:40:41.23
of this mystery,
lest you should be wise
00:40:41.24\00:40:43.64
in your own opinion,
that blindness in part has
00:40:43.65\00:40:46.48
happened to Israel
until the fullness of the
00:40:46.49\00:40:48.89
Gentiles has come
in and so, all Israel
00:40:48.90\00:40:52.13
will be saved. This
verse is used by people
00:40:52.14\00:40:54.42
who teach Bible
prophecy that say,
00:40:54.43\00:40:56.08
see all of literal
Israel is gonna be saved,
00:40:56.09\00:40:58.12
but the previous
verses show who Israel is?
00:40:58.39\00:41:01.03
Israel is composed
of Jews and Gentiles
00:41:02.20\00:41:05.66
who are grafted
into the one tree and who
00:41:05.67\00:41:08.11
believe in Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord.
00:41:08.12\00:41:11.42
Amen. So, there is only
one tree and it's defined
00:41:11.92\00:41:15.83
in a Christ
centered way. Number seven,
00:41:16.76\00:41:18.90
in the Kingdom there
will be only one banquet
00:41:18.91\00:41:22.73
table for all of the redeemed.
00:41:22.74\00:41:26.31
And by the way, I'll
mentioned just the verse
00:41:27.56\00:41:29.69
Luke 22 verse 30,
Jesus calls it my table.
00:41:29.70\00:41:34.01
So, this is
Christ's table. Notice,
00:41:35.91\00:41:38.11
Matthew 8 verses 11 and 12.
00:41:39.13\00:41:41.42
This is, this is
immediately after
00:41:41.43\00:41:43.76
Jesus has performed
the miracle upon the
00:41:43.77\00:41:46.08
centurion servant, was
the centurion a Gentile?
00:41:46.09\00:41:49.85
Yes, he was a Roman.
So, Jesus has performed
00:41:50.89\00:41:53.32
this miracle, He says,
I haven't found this much
00:41:53.33\00:41:55.93
faith in Israel. And
then He says to the literal
00:41:55.94\00:41:59.49
Jews there in
Matthew 8:11 and 12.
00:41:59.50\00:42:02.97
And I say to you
that many will come from
00:42:03.54\00:42:07.36
East and West,
these are the Gentiles,
00:42:07.37\00:42:09.59
and sit down with
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
00:42:10.80\00:42:15.88
these are the
literal Jews, in the kingdom
00:42:15.89\00:42:19.07
of heaven; but the
sons of the kingdom
00:42:19.08\00:42:22.55
will be cast out
into the outer darkness;
00:42:22.56\00:42:25.58
there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.
00:42:25.95\00:42:29.31
Who all is gonna be
sitting at Christ's table
00:42:31.62\00:42:33.69
in the kingdom?
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
00:42:37.13\00:42:40.68
and who else?
Those Gentiles that come
00:42:40.69\00:42:43.83
from East, and from
West and they're identified
00:42:43.84\00:42:46.77
with Jesus. Jesus
would not invite them
00:42:46.78\00:42:48.81
to his table, if
they're not identified with him.
00:42:48.82\00:42:51.04
And so, in the
kingdom there is going to be
00:42:53.24\00:42:55.57
only one table with
all of the redeemed.
00:42:55.58\00:42:59.18
Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob as well as all of
00:42:59.58\00:43:03.31
those Gentiles who
come from East and West
00:43:03.32\00:43:05.86
will be invited
to sit at that table.
00:43:05.87\00:43:07.78
Ellen White describes
that she says its miles
00:43:07.79\00:43:10.54
in length. She
says, our eyes will be so
00:43:10.55\00:43:14.29
focused and so good
that we'll be able to see
00:43:15.05\00:43:17.18
the whole table
from begin to end. Amen.
00:43:17.19\00:43:19.82
And by the way, she
says that on that table
00:43:21.78\00:43:23.87
will be almonds, pomegranate,
00:43:23.88\00:43:27.61
it's just like in
Central California.
00:43:27.62\00:43:29.04
Grapes, no McDonalds
there, only the natural,
00:43:32.01\00:43:37.72
delicious fruit
that Jesus has made.
00:43:37.73\00:43:40.88
And the amazing
thing is that we're gonna
00:43:41.39\00:43:44.09
sit down and Jesus
is gonna be the waiter.
00:43:44.23\00:43:46.53
Now, is that an
awesome privilege or what?
00:43:48.43\00:43:49.99
He's gonna do the
same thing with us
00:43:50.00\00:43:51.57
as he did with the
feet of his disciples,
00:43:51.58\00:43:53.28
he's gonna serve
us. That's gonna be an
00:43:53.29\00:43:55.51
awesome day, let's not miss it.
00:43:55.52\00:43:57.67
And the redeemed from
all ages, Jew and Gentile
00:43:57.99\00:44:01.68
will sit at the
same table. Number eight,
00:44:01.99\00:44:06.11
God has only one
spiritual temple.
00:44:07.77\00:44:10.20
And that spiritual
temple is composed both
00:44:11.77\00:44:15.32
of Old Testament saints
and New Testament saints.
00:44:16.12\00:44:19.30
Notice Ephesians
chapter 2 verses 19 through 22,
00:44:19.89\00:44:23.89
Ephesians 2:19 through 22.
00:44:24.30\00:44:27.85
God has only one
temple, he doesn't have
00:44:28.25\00:44:30.34
a literal Jewish
temple in the Middle East
00:44:30.35\00:44:32.89
and then the
Church is also a temple.
00:44:32.90\00:44:34.64
No, He has only
one temple and it's a
00:44:34.65\00:44:36.33
spiritual temple.
Notice Ephesians chapter 2
00:44:36.34\00:44:39.28
and verses 19 to 22.
Here the Apostle Paul
00:44:39.68\00:44:43.28
says this, Now,
therefore, you are no
00:44:43.29\00:44:47.21
longer strangers, he's
speaking to the Gentiles,
00:44:47.22\00:44:49.41
and foreigners, but
fellow citizens with the
00:44:50.11\00:44:54.56
saints and members
of the household of God.
00:44:54.57\00:44:57.96
And now notice
this, having been built on
00:44:58.53\00:45:01.93
the foundation of the
apostles and prophets.
00:45:01.94\00:45:05.49
What would the prophets be?
00:45:05.50\00:45:06.59
Old Testament, and the Apostles?
00:45:07.91\00:45:09.78
New Testament. So,
this temple is built on the
00:45:10.55\00:45:12.87
foundation of
apostles and prophets,
00:45:12.88\00:45:14.61
Old and New
Testament, but who is the key?
00:45:14.62\00:45:17.03
Notice it says,
Christ Jesus Himself being
00:45:17.45\00:45:21.30
the chief
cornerstone. One temple, Old and
00:45:21.66\00:45:25.66
New Testament
centered in Jesus Christ.
00:45:25.67\00:45:28.34
Verse 21, in whom,
notice, Christ centered,
00:45:28.88\00:45:32.19
In whom the whole
building, being joined
00:45:32.20\00:45:35.29
together, grows into a
holy temple in the Lord.
00:45:35.30\00:45:39.10
In whom? There it is
again, you also are being
00:45:39.54\00:45:42.98
built together for
dwelling place of God
00:45:42.99\00:45:45.41
in the Spirit. Who is at
the center of the temple?
00:45:45.87\00:45:48.95
Jesus, so what are
we to make of those
00:45:49.70\00:45:52.52
are people who say
that the literal Jewish
00:45:52.53\00:45:56.07
temple is gonna be
rebuilt in the Middle East
00:45:56.08\00:45:58.30
after the rapture of
the Church to heaven.
00:45:58.31\00:46:00.21
And there's gonna be a
nasty individual called
00:46:01.15\00:46:03.47
the Antichrist, who's
gonna sit in the literal
00:46:03.48\00:46:06.34
Jewish temple, and
he's gonna persecute
00:46:06.35\00:46:08.49
the literal Jews for
three and a half years,
00:46:08.50\00:46:11.07
and he's gonna make
this great big statue,
00:46:11.08\00:46:13.35
and he's going
to command every one
00:46:13.36\00:46:15.30
to bow to this big
statue and to receive
00:46:15.31\00:46:18.45
the tattoo on their forehead or
00:46:18.46\00:46:21.09
on their right hand.
What are we to make of that?
00:46:21.10\00:46:24.69
It goes against what
the Apostle Paul says,
00:46:25.47\00:46:27.89
because he says that
the temple is spiritual,
00:46:27.90\00:46:30.30
it is composed of
Apostles and prophets,
00:46:31.59\00:46:34.31
Old and New
Testament, and the Shekinah
00:46:34.32\00:46:36.99
is the Holy Spirit. So,
if the antichrist is gonna
00:46:37.00\00:46:41.16
sit in the temple
of God, showing himself
00:46:41.17\00:46:43.29
to be God, it must
be that the antichrist
00:46:43.30\00:46:45.52
is going to sit in the Church,
00:46:45.53\00:46:47.16
in the Christian
Church. It's an amazing thought.
00:46:48.12\00:46:52.01
And because the
Church is worldwide,
00:46:53.28\00:46:54.79
Israel is worldwide.
And the enemy of Israel,
00:46:55.23\00:46:59.13
Babylon is worldwide.
So, at the end of time
00:46:59.14\00:47:02.51
the battle is not
literal Babylon coming against
00:47:02.71\00:47:05.02
literal Jerusalem,
no, it's spiritual Babylon
00:47:05.03\00:47:08.58
coming against
spiritual Jerusalem
00:47:08.91\00:47:11.03
on a global scale.
And the issue is whether
00:47:11.04\00:47:14.56
you've given your
life fully and completely
00:47:14.57\00:47:17.02
to Jesus Christ
or not? Number nine,
00:47:17.03\00:47:20.65
the redeemed
according to Revelation come
00:47:22.72\00:47:24.70
from every
nation, kindred, tongue,
00:47:24.71\00:47:27.66
and people. And yet
they sing the same song.
00:47:28.07\00:47:35.98
It's an Old Testament
and New Testament song.
00:47:38.63\00:47:41.05
Notice Revelation
chapter 15 verses 3 and 4.
00:47:42.12\00:47:45.35
Revelation 15 verses 3 and 4.
00:47:45.74\00:47:49.27
Speaking about
the redeemed saints,
00:47:50.86\00:47:52.71
the living saints who
come from every nation,
00:47:52.72\00:47:54.99
kindred, tongue, and
people at the end of time,
00:47:55.00\00:47:57.27
we're told they
sing the song of Moses,
00:47:58.00\00:48:00.57
that's Old Testament,
they sing the song of Moses,
00:48:00.58\00:48:03.00
the servant of
God, and the song of the
00:48:03.01\00:48:05.81
Lamb saying. See,
there's only one song
00:48:05.82\00:48:08.49
sung by all of the redeemed;
00:48:10.12\00:48:11.70
it's not one song
for the Jews who come
00:48:11.71\00:48:14.09
from Moses. And
one song for the Church
00:48:14.10\00:48:16.21
that come from
Jesus. Notice what they say,
00:48:16.22\00:48:20.40
Great and
marvelous are your works,
00:48:20.41\00:48:22.26
Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are Your ways
00:48:22.27\00:48:25.30
O King of Saints.
Who shall not fear You,
00:48:25.31\00:48:27.91
O Lord, and glorify Your name?
00:48:27.92\00:48:29.99
For You alone are holy:
for all nations shall come,
00:48:30.46\00:48:34.05
notice, all
nations shall come and
00:48:34.41\00:48:36.33
worship before
You; for Your judgments
00:48:36.34\00:48:38.69
have been manifested.
So, the redeemed will sing
00:48:38.70\00:48:43.48
how many songs? One song,
00:48:43.49\00:48:45.50
Moses and the Lamb.
Finally, number ten.
00:48:46.09\00:48:51.28
The redeemed will
have only one Father,
00:48:53.07\00:48:56.61
one Father.
Notice, Galatians chapter 3
00:49:00.91\00:49:04.09
and verse 26, Galatians
chapter 3 and verse 26.
00:49:04.65\00:49:09.46
How is that we become sons
00:49:10.03\00:49:11.95
and daughters of
God? Is it because we have
00:49:11.96\00:49:16.12
literal Jewish
blood flowing through
00:49:16.13\00:49:17.47
our veins? Absolutely, not.
00:49:17.48\00:49:19.30
The Jewish thought
that. I'm gonna read a passage
00:49:20.92\00:49:23.78
in a moment.
Galatians 3:26 it says,
00:49:23.79\00:49:27.01
For you are all
the sons of God, how?
00:49:27.02\00:49:31.50
Through faith in
Christ Jesus. Do you know that
00:49:32.42\00:49:35.00
there is only true Son of God?
00:49:35.01\00:49:36.43
The only true Son of
God is Jesus Christ. Amen.
00:49:37.61\00:49:40.76
He's the only
faithful true Son of God,
00:49:40.77\00:49:42.10
but here it says that
we become sons of God too.
00:49:43.51\00:49:45.23
Do you know how it happens?
00:49:45.24\00:49:46.21
It's very simple.
We become brothers
00:49:46.49\00:49:49.01
and sisters of
Jesus and then we have the
00:49:49.02\00:49:50.96
same father. That's what
Jesus meant when He said,
00:49:50.97\00:49:55.63
I am the way the
truth and the life.
00:49:55.64\00:49:58.24
No one comes unto the Father,
00:49:58.64\00:50:00.50
but through me. In other words,
00:50:00.83\00:50:02.79
we must become
linked with Jesus,
00:50:02.80\00:50:04.89
become brothers and
sisters of Jesus through
00:50:04.90\00:50:07.37
the conversion
experience and then
00:50:07.38\00:50:09.41
we are children of
God. Notice, John chapter 1
00:50:10.34\00:50:13.92
verses 12 and 13,
John chapter 1 and
00:50:13.93\00:50:16.48
verses 12 and 13. But
as many as received him,
00:50:16.49\00:50:23.90
what's the key? Receiving him.
00:50:25.44\00:50:28.58
But as many as
received him, to them he gave
00:50:28.86\00:50:32.08
the right to become
what? Children of God,
00:50:32.09\00:50:35.61
to those who believe in
his name; who were born,
00:50:36.06\00:50:40.27
not of blood nor of
the will of, of the flesh
00:50:40.65\00:50:43.76
nor of the will
of man, but of God.
00:50:44.34\00:50:48.75
Let me read a rather
extensive passage here
00:50:49.71\00:50:52.24
from the Gospel of
John, so you catch this idea.
00:50:52.25\00:50:54.37
Do you know that it's
possible to be a literal
00:50:54.71\00:50:57.35
Jew and not really be a
Jew in God's estimation?
00:50:57.36\00:51:02.32
Do you know, there
is this fight in the
00:51:04.77\00:51:06.97
Middle East
between Jews and Arabs?
00:51:06.98\00:51:11.17
Do you know, they
talk about peace plan,
00:51:13.75\00:51:15.92
signing peace plans
and hot winds are gonna be
00:51:15.93\00:51:18.06
peace over
there? I have a perfect
00:51:18.07\00:51:19.87
formula for peace.
And if they followed it,
00:51:19.88\00:51:25.17
there would be peace instantly,
00:51:25.18\00:51:26.88
if the Jews would
accept Jesus as Messiah.
00:51:28.43\00:51:30.83
And the Arabs would
accept Jesus as Messiah,
00:51:32.21\00:51:35.07
they would be one and
they would have nothing
00:51:35.51\00:51:37.43
more to fight about.
Amen. It's that simple.
00:51:37.44\00:51:42.42
Then they would both
be children of Abraham.
00:51:43.56\00:51:45.80
Amen. Right now
neither one of them are,
00:51:46.27\00:51:48.34
according to the
Biblical definition.
00:51:48.94\00:51:50.69
John 8 verse 32
Jesus says, And you shall
00:51:51.33\00:51:54.22
know the truth, and
the truth shall make
00:51:54.23\00:51:55.73
you free. They
answered him, we are Abraham's
00:51:55.74\00:51:59.19
descendants. Actually
it says we are Abraham's
00:51:59.20\00:52:01.33
seed in the King
James. And have never been
00:52:01.34\00:52:04.25
in bondage to
anyone. How can you say
00:52:04.26\00:52:07.39
you will be made
free? Jesus answered them,
00:52:07.40\00:52:10.50
Most assuredly, I say
to you, whoever commits
00:52:10.51\00:52:13.55
sin is a slave of sin.
See he makes it spiritual.
00:52:13.56\00:52:16.42
And a slave
does not abide in the
00:52:17.76\00:52:19.35
house forever, but
a son abides forever.
00:52:19.36\00:52:22.43
Therefore if the
Son makes you free,
00:52:23.56\00:52:26.17
you shall be free indeed. Amen.
00:52:26.55\00:52:29.79
And then he says.
I know that you are
00:52:30.34\00:52:32.20
Abraham's seed; but in
a minute he's gonna say,
00:52:32.21\00:52:34.94
you are but you aren't.
00:52:34.95\00:52:36.45
I know that you
are Abraham's seed,
00:52:38.17\00:52:39.88
but you seek to
kill me, because my word
00:52:39.89\00:52:42.53
has no place in you.
I speak what I have seen
00:52:42.54\00:52:45.20
with my Father, and
you do what you have
00:52:45.21\00:52:47.55
seen with your
father. He's setting the stage
00:52:47.56\00:52:50.01
for a revolutionary statement.
00:52:50.02\00:52:51.46
They answered and said to him,
00:52:52.73\00:52:53.83
Abraham is our
father. Jesus said to them,
00:52:54.13\00:52:56.66
if you are Abraham's
children, you would do
00:52:56.67\00:52:59.08
the works of
Abraham. But now you seek
00:52:59.09\00:53:01.64
to kill me, a man who
was told you the truth,
00:53:01.65\00:53:03.75
which I heard from God:
Abraham did not do this.
00:53:03.76\00:53:06.60
Jesus' saying, if
Abraham lived today,
00:53:06.61\00:53:08.56
he would get me a big
hug and he would kiss me.
00:53:08.79\00:53:11.39
And you wanna kill
me and you say that
00:53:11.99\00:53:13.78
you're his
children. Verse 41, You do the
00:53:13.79\00:53:17.79
deeds of your father.
Then said they to him,
00:53:17.80\00:53:19.95
We were not born of fornication.
00:53:20.28\00:53:21.94
We have one father
God. Jesus said to them,
00:53:22.23\00:53:26.49
If you, if God were your Father,
00:53:26.50\00:53:28.50
you would love me;
for I proceeded forth
00:53:29.77\00:53:32.11
and came from God;
nor have I come of Myself,
00:53:32.12\00:53:35.89
but He sent Me. Why
do you not understand
00:53:35.90\00:53:38.62
My speech? Because
you are not able to listen
00:53:38.63\00:53:41.33
to My word. You are
of your father the devil.
00:53:41.34\00:53:44.28
And the desires of
your father you want to do.
00:53:46.61\00:53:49.29
He was a murderer
from the beginning,
00:53:49.58\00:53:51.34
and does not stand in the truth,
00:53:51.35\00:53:52.54
because there
is no truth in him.
00:53:52.55\00:53:54.09
When he speaks a lie,
he speaks from his own
00:53:54.10\00:53:56.23
resources, for he's a
liar and the father of it.
00:53:56.24\00:53:59.71
Is that clear? Amen. If
you are outside of Christ,
00:54:02.94\00:54:08.04
you are a child of the devil.
00:54:08.05\00:54:09.02
You, you've known me
to not be politically
00:54:09.92\00:54:12.18
correct, right?
Amen. You can't say,
00:54:12.19\00:54:15.15
I mean, I'm not the
devils, and I'm not the
00:54:15.16\00:54:17.20
Lord's, I mine. The
many of you say I mine,
00:54:17.21\00:54:20.58
you're the devil's.
Amen. It's either or,
00:54:20.59\00:54:23.91
not both and. Allow
me to close by reading
00:54:25.32\00:54:30.97
couple of statements
from the Spirit of Prophecy.
00:54:31.48\00:54:33.63
Now, that we've
noticed from scripture,
00:54:34.68\00:54:36.03
I think we've
noticed enough evidence
00:54:36.04\00:54:37.39
from scripture.
Allow me to read you the
00:54:37.40\00:54:40.29
statement Prophets
and Kings 7:13 and 14.
00:54:40.30\00:54:43.42
This is beautiful.
This is the, the plan that
00:54:43.74\00:54:46.02
God has for us.
We're Israel. Amen.
00:54:46.03\00:54:48.56
Listen, that which
God purposed to do for
00:54:48.57\00:54:51.88
the world through
Israel the chosen nation
00:54:51.89\00:54:54.27
He will finally
accomplish through His Church
00:54:54.28\00:54:57.21
on earth today. He
has let out his vineyard
00:54:57.22\00:55:01.20
unto other husbandmen;
00:55:01.21\00:55:02.71
even to His
covenant-keeping people,
00:55:02.72\00:55:05.00
who faithfully
'render Him the fruits
00:55:05.01\00:55:07.48
in their seasons.
Never has the Lord been
00:55:07.49\00:55:10.93
without true
representatives on this
00:55:10.94\00:55:12.78
earth who have made
His interests their own.
00:55:12.79\00:55:15.56
These witnesses of
God. These witnesses for God
00:55:16.22\00:55:20.42
are numbered among
the spiritual Israel,
00:55:20.73\00:55:23.77
and to them will be
fulfilled all the covenant
00:55:24.08\00:55:27.28
promises made by Jehovah to His
00:55:27.29\00:55:29.81
ancient people.
Beautiful, listen to this
00:55:29.82\00:55:33.94
statement. This is
found, there's so many
00:55:33.95\00:55:37.65
of them here, let me
see which one I'm gonna
00:55:37.66\00:55:39.30
chose just
these, these last three.
00:55:39.31\00:55:41.81
I was shown; this is Testimonies
00:55:43.27\00:55:45.67
Volume 2, 109. I
was shown that those
00:55:45.68\00:55:48.22
who are trying to
obey God and purify
00:55:48.23\00:55:51.10
their souls through
obedience to the truth
00:55:51.11\00:55:53.86
are God's chosen
people, His modern Israel.
00:55:54.20\00:55:58.48
Amen. Those are
what? Trying to obey God
00:55:58.85\00:56:02.91
and purify their
souls through obedience
00:56:02.92\00:56:05.27
to the truth.
Prophets and Kings, page 74,
00:56:05.28\00:56:09.38
Ellen White says this,
Wherein they were weak,
00:56:10.23\00:56:13.24
even to the point of failure,
00:56:15.07\00:56:16.63
the Israel of God
today, the representatives
00:56:17.50\00:56:22.00
of heaven that
make up the true Church
00:56:22.01\00:56:25.02
of Christ must be
strong, for upon them
00:56:25.03\00:56:28.60
devolves the task of
finishing the work that
00:56:28.61\00:56:32.22
has been committed
to man, and ushering
00:56:32.23\00:56:34.38
in the final, the
day of final awards.
00:56:34.39\00:56:38.15
It's our responsibility,
one final statement
00:56:38.63\00:56:41.36
Prophets and Kings 367 she says,
00:56:41.37\00:56:44.86
Those who hunger and
thirst after righteousness
00:56:44.87\00:56:51.09
were to be numbered
among the Israel of God.
00:56:51.45\00:56:56.37
Amen, amen. So, the
key is have we accepted
00:56:56.79\00:57:00.40
Jesus Christ as
our Savior and Lord?
00:57:00.41\00:57:02.30
Have we been born
again? If we have,
00:57:03.49\00:57:05.67
the final battle will be against
00:57:06.50\00:57:09.24
Jesus in the person of his body,
00:57:09.25\00:57:13.02
in the person of his people.
00:57:13.35\00:57:14.90
May we be on the
right side on that day?
00:57:15.17\00:57:18.14
