1
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,120
So, so today we are leaving this
open for a different format. 

2
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,240
This will be a little bit more 
Astoria. 

3
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:20,080
Astoria, you can share, you can 
ask questions. 

4
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,120
I want to say ahead of time, 
Kuya Armin and I were talking 

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,720
earlier that if your question 
relates to the news and 

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,000
political, we may just shift and
only answer the things that 

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,880
relate specifically to God's 
perspective and not get into too

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,040
deep. 
It's going to have to have a 

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,680
line. 
There's some places where we 

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,640
have to talk about those things,
but not to go too deep into the 

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,680
news and things like that, but 
to focus on the purpose today. 

12
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,160
So do you guys want to join me? 
So it doesn't just look like 

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,320
I'll just call you when you're 
the grafted in. 

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,320
What are you talking? 
OK, we're going to start with 

15
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,680
that. 
We're going to start with that. 

16
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,880
Let me just say something here, 
OK? 

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,360
When God made a covenant with 
Abraham, he made a covenant that

18
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,600
he was going to do something 
specific for his son and the 

19
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,720
people after him. 
There is a clear calling on the 

20
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,160
genetic Jewish people, a clear 
calling. 

21
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,520
And yet even in that calling, 
God told Avraham that even the 

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,080
foreigners in his house were to 
have a sign of the covenant. 

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,760
And we don't even have Jesus 
yet. 

24
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,840
At that time. 
It has always been God's plan 

25
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,320
that every nation, tongue and 
tribe be included in His 

26
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,520
redemption. 
Israel was not chosen because 

27
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,600
they are more special to God. 
Israel has chosen to demonstrate

28
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,600
something to the nations so that
every tongue, tribe and nation 

29
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,440
would come to know the God of 
Israel. 

30
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,800
OK, so let me tell you this, You
do not have to be Jewish to be 

31
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,919
very, very special in God's 
sight. 

32
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:14,600
Every son and every daughter 
matters, OK? 

33
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,600
I have 5 and you can't tell me 
that any one of them can be just

34
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,800
Oh, it doesn't matter. 
OK, Every single person in this 

35
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,200
place, you have full access by 
the blood of Jesus. 

36
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,280
It's never limited. 
OK. 

37
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,400
We'll start with that. 
I'll just briefly talk about the

38
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,640
key covenants that God 
established with Israel. 

39
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:50,480
Now remember, everything in the 
Bible points to what Jesus. 

40
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:59,520
Jesus is the fulfillment. 
He is the word of God, right? 

41
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:05,280
John chapter 1 tells us that He 
is the word that became flesh 

42
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:09,200
and dwelt among us. 
So everything that you need to 

43
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,880
know about the Word of God is 
found in the person of Jesus 

44
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,800
Christ and everything in the 
person of who Jesus Christ is 

45
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:26,560
can be found in the Word of God.
OK, so if somebody tells you or 

46
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,600
you have a dream because you ate
too much pizza the night before 

47
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:37,160
and you said Jesus told me that 
I am to divorce my husband and 

48
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:44,240
go marry another husband who is 
a sumo wrestler in Japan, I can 

49
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,400
promise you that Jesus didn't 
tell you that. 

50
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Why? 
Because the word of God tells us

51
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:57,400
you should not get a divorce. 
OK, so I, I think that's pretty 

52
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:05,160
simple to understand that when 
God gave us his word, it wasn't 

53
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:10,880
a suggestion. 
It was what we are to follow in 

54
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,960
order to find who he is, to know
who he is. 

55
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:22,240
So Israel in the book of 
Colossians, it says, is a 

56
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,000
shadow. 
The things that God teaches 

57
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,960
Israel in the Old Testament is a
shadow of the reality. 

58
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:39,080
The reality is Christ. 
So everything that God shows us 

59
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,160
in the Old Covenant is to point 
to Jesus. 

60
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:51,160
So I want to talk about briefly 
major covenants and the Old 

61
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,480
Testament scriptures that God 
established with Israel that are

62
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,080
very important. 
First of all is the Abrahamic 

63
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,400
covenant. 
The Abrahamic covenant. 

64
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,160
You've all heard this. 
I will bless those who bless 

65
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,160
you. 
I will curse those who curse 

66
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,000
you. 
So there is a promise to 

67
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:17,240
Abraham, the nation of Israel, 
the people of Israel, that there

68
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,480
would be a worldwide blessing 
from them that God established 

69
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,720
with them. 
Why did God establish a covenant

70
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,240
with Israel, not with anybody 
else? 

71
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:35,200
That's God's choice and he could
have chosen any other people 

72
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,600
group, but he chose Abraham and 
from Abraham comes right, the 

73
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,120
nation of Israel. 
God did not just bless Abraham 

74
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:52,440
and and it only be for the 
Jewish people. 

75
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,000
It was originally for all 
people. 

76
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,480
But because of the wickedness of
mankind, God chose Israel, 

77
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,400
right? 
The promised son of Isaac, 

78
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,000
that's where they come from. 
And he chose them in order to 

79
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,680
reveal his commitment, his 
covenant to establish that 

80
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,640
blessing. 
And we can fill in the blanks 

81
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,840
here a little bit. 
I just kind of want to give you 

82
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:22,200
an overview. 
But I will bless those who bless

83
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,360
you. 
I will curse those who curse 

84
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,960
you. 
Then there's the Mosaic 

85
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:29,800
covenant, the covenant that God 
established with Moses, the law 

86
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,200
of God, the commandments of God 
that was established on Mount 

87
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,360
Sinai. 
And in the book of Deuteronomy, 

88
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,360
it tells us about the blessings 
and the curses of obeying the 

89
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,320
law of God. 
So the law of God, does the law 

90
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:56,720
of God save you? 
No, the law of God. 

91
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,440
What's the purpose of the law of
God? 

92
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,000
What does it do? 
It tells you what sin is, right?

93
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,400
Paul later tells us in the book 
of Romans, I did not know what 

94
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,720
sin was except by the law. 
The the law tells us what sin 

95
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,000
is. 
God is a God of love and God is 

96
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,440
a God of justice. 
Amen. 

97
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,240
And because he's a God of love, 
he established law. 

98
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,960
God could have said, OK, you 
sin, you're dead right. 

99
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,320
He could do that. 
Why? 

100
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,960
He's God, He could do whatever 
he wants to, but he's a promise 

101
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,760
keeping God. 
That's why he established his 

102
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,920
covenants. 
And so when he established the 

103
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,000
covenant of the law, it was to 
point out, I am seeing what sin 

104
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,080
separates you from me. 
And if you don't identify what 

105
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,760
that sin is, you cannot repent 
of your sin. 

106
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:01,000
And so I'm going to give you an 
opportunity to repent of your 

107
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,720
sin by giving you the the the 
law, the priests, the Tabernacle

108
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,440
sacrifices. 
All of this is pointing towards 

109
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,720
the promise 1 coming, who is 
Jesus. 

110
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,000
OK, again, this is an overview. 
I'm not going to go very deep. 

111
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,560
The Davidic covenant. 
God promised David a king from 

112
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,760
his lineage whose throne would 
last forever, establishing A 

113
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,760
perpetual authority, a kingly 
authority. 

114
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640
So in, in, in the person of 
David. 

115
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,840
Look at this. 
God uses the foolish things of 

116
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,240
the world to put the wise to 
shame, right? 

117
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,600
David was a murderer. 
David was an adulterer, David 

118
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,840
disobey God on many other times 
and yet because of the covenant 

119
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:03,200
God established with him, we 
know that the the priesthood, 

120
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,000
the kingly authority, what did 
David and the prophetic 

121
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:15,000
authority that David represented
is revealed in the fullness of 

122
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,320
it through the person of Jesus 
Christ. 

123
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,040
Are you with me? 
OK, and then I'm going to read 

124
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,480
just two more. 
Next one is the land covenant. 

125
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,360
God promised the land of Canaan 
to Abraham and to his 

126
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,840
descendants as an everlasting 
possession. 

127
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,880
Here's what you need to 
understand about Israel and 

128
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:45,880
Jerusalem and the mountain where
the temple was established. 

129
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:55,720
Abraham paid for that property. 
Do you know that Abraham paid 

130
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,640
money? 
They wanted to give it to him 

131
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,280
for free. 
Am I correct with that? 

132
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,600
Yes, they wanted to give it to 
him for free, but he said no, 

133
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,400
I'm going to pay for it. 
Do you know how that important 

134
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,320
that is? 
How many believe owning land is 

135
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,200
really important? 
How many believe that if you 

136
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:19,840
have a title to that land that 
nobody could take that land from

137
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,880
you? 
OK? 

138
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,760
The highest authority in the 
universe says that land belongs 

139
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,440
to Israel. 
Title deed. 

140
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,960
OK? 
Jesus did not come from Africa. 

141
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,400
He did not come from the 
Philippines or Kalinan. 

142
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:50,040
He did not come from America, 
OK, He came from Israel. 

143
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,280
And we're, we'll explain more of
why that's so important. 

144
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,800
And then the last covenant I 
just want to give is the new 

145
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,280
covenant prophesied to bring a 
spiritual transformation through

146
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:10,520
a new relationship with God, 
including a circumcised heart, 

147
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,120
right? 
You see, circumcision in the 

148
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,840
flesh, It's a shadow of what God
ultimately wanted to do. 

149
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,880
So while there's probably health
benefits for circumcision in the

150
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,160
flesh, the fact is that was for 
Israel. 

151
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:32,000
But in the new covenant, it's 
not required anymore because God

152
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,680
wants a circumcision of the 
heart. 

153
00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:40,800
And so this new covenant that 
God established with us through 

154
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:48,920
the blood of Jesus, Jesus did 
not come to abolish the law and 

155
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,240
the words of the prophets in the
Old Testament. 

156
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,000
Are you with me? 
OK, you, you know some of these 

157
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,640
things already. 
You hear it all the time. 

158
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:04,680
He came to fulfill them because 
you and I, no matter if we, 

159
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,040
let's just assume we're all 
Jews, OK? 

160
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,960
If we're all Jews, if we're 
circumcised, if we have the law,

161
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,480
we could never obey the law 
completely, OK? 

162
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,880
I'm not going to ask how many 
people told a lie this week, OK,

163
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,600
or had an adulterous thought or 
something. 

164
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,680
See, you and I are not perfect. 
That's why we needed a savior. 

165
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:37,160
But Galatians tells us that the 
law is like a schoolmaster, a 

166
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,440
teacher that points us to 
Christ. 

167
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:47,080
So everything is a shadow 
pointing to the reality in 

168
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:54,840
Christ. 
In Romans 910 and 11, Paul 

169
00:12:54,840 --> 00:13:00,160
explains the purpose of Israel. 
Now that there is a new 

170
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,320
covenant, does God keep his 
covenant promises? 

171
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,880
Yes, he does. 
Here's the point. 

172
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,560
If God does not keep his 
covenant promises to Israel, 

173
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,960
then you under the new covenant 
cannot believe that he will keep

174
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,640
your promise, his promise to 
you. 

175
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:22,040
You can't. 
Why would you believe that? 

176
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:27,280
If if Israel is no longer his 
chosen people, he goes into 

177
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,800
that. 
There is a root in the ground, 

178
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,280
and it's called Israel. 
And because Israel, when Jesus 

179
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:40,080
came, largely, well, everybody 
who was born again at first was 

180
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,200
Jewish. 
All the disciples were Jewish, 

181
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,040
right? 
And then it all started in 

182
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,840
Jerusalem. 
And then there's persecutions of

183
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,680
the Romans. 
But Jesus said you'll receive 

184
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:59,680
power when the Holy Spirit comes
upon you the day of Pentecost 

185
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,160
right in Jerusalem. 
And then you'll be my witnesses 

186
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,000
in Jerusalem, Judea, the ends of
the earth. 

187
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,160
He already gave the Great 
Commission, and he said, this is

188
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,040
direction I want you to go in. 
And because of that, you're 

189
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,640
going to have to leave 
Jerusalem. 

190
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,520
You're going to have to be 
witnesses. 

191
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,360
You're going to have to lay your
life down for this gospel 

192
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,680
message. 
And as persecution broke out in 

193
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:33,000
Jerusalem, the believers, the 
disciples, were spread to Judea 

194
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,440
and Samaria. 
And from that point it began to 

195
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:42,040
grow. 
Eventually we read in Acts 15 in

196
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,000
a place called Antioch, where so
many Gentiles had now become 

197
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,160
born again, some are starting to
receive the baptism of the Holy 

198
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,160
Spirit, that now what do we do 
with these Gentiles in the book 

199
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,320
of Acts? 
So they say we want these 

200
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,320
Gentiles. 
They give them specific things 

201
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,840
that they want them to do, but 
they understand that they are 

202
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:11,440
not responsible to go through 
the law and circumcision like 

203
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,440
Jews did. 
And so it's by faith that their 

204
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,240
hearts are circumcised in 
Christ. 

205
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,040
And now Jews and Gentiles begin 
to make up the church. 

206
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:29,000
So the root, the beginning of 
all of this was Jewish and then 

207
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,840
Gentiles get grafted into that 
tree. 

208
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:41,840
And as that tree begins to grow,
largely Israel begins to turn 

209
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:48,640
away from accepting Jesus as 
Messiah in in history because 

210
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:56,600
Jews get horribly persecuted and
then Gentiles become the 

211
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,480
majority of the church. 
It was Jews, it turned to 

212
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,960
Gentiles. 
A guy named Saul of Tarsus, also

213
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,920
known as Paul the Apostle, gets 
born again in Acts 9. 

214
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:19,160
And Paul, his entire ministry is
to take the gospel to the 

215
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Gentile. 
He knows he's supposed to go to 

216
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,600
Rome and die and everything in 
between. 

217
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,960
He's going to preach the gospel.
He's, he had planted churches in

218
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,120
Ephesus, Philippians, 
Colossians, Thessalonians, 

219
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,360
right? 
He's preaching the gospel and 

220
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,960
now he's in Romans. 
He's even writing a letter to 

221
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,840
them. 
And, and as he's writing, he's 

222
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:48,560
encouraging them to be faithful 
and to look at his life and, and

223
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,000
live that life devoted to the 
Lord. 

224
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,920
He dies. 
The gospel goes around the world

225
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,480
throughout history. 
Israel becomes recognized as a 

226
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,800
state in 1948. 
We just jumped almost 2000 

227
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:13,560
years. 
The temple is destroyed in 70 

228
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,760
AD. 
OK, if Jews don't have a temple,

229
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,000
they can't make sacrifices. 
If they can't make sacrifices, 

230
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,359
you can't be forgiven of sin. 
And so now we're 2000 years 

231
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,520
ahead almost. 
Israel becomes a state. 

232
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,200
Now the whole world is. 
And look, Israel became a state 

233
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:43,240
after what happened. 
The Holocaust were 6,000,000, 

234
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:49,880
Jews 6,000,000. 
OK, You want to understand why 

235
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,080
Israel is going to fight to the 
death? 

236
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,880
You need to remember that every 
single one of them can tell you 

237
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,680
of family members that were 
murdered by Hitler and the 

238
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,200
Nazis. 
And there is a saying, never 

239
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,760
again. 
So I'm just trying to paint an 

240
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,600
overall picture and then go 
wherever we need to because I'm 

241
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,120
losing my voice again, but 
Israel becomes a state that is 

242
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:24,000
prophetic God is a Hebrew 
language was lost. 

243
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
It comes back to reality. 
Archaeology is being found 

244
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,920
everyday. 
I just watched a video last 

245
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,000
night, last night on YouTube and
it was a a couple named Sergio 

246
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,920
and Rhoda. 
And I would encourage you to 

247
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,720
watch their videos are really 
good. 

248
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,400
And they just uncovered like an 
administrative area where 

249
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,480
Solomon, I guess it was part of 
this temple that he had 

250
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,600
established. 
And it's super old and it's, and

251
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:58,080
it's like everything is 
constantly giving value to what 

252
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:03,480
is written in the Bible. 
And now Israel becomes a state 

253
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,520
and people are saying, well, how
do we accept Israel? 

254
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,440
Are they still chosen or does 
God replace them with the 

255
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,920
church? 
And with that, I will give that 

256
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:22,800
over to you. 
Is it OK now because some of us 

257
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:28,360
would really, really love to 
like wear start of David 

258
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:34,840
Jewelleries like earrings, rings
and we, we also observe that 

259
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,120
there are houses that they use 
the Star of David, Salem Gate 

260
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,760
Ibutang as a symbol. 
Is it OK? 

261
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,080
Is it not offensive to the 
Jewish faith? 

262
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,240
I'll answer that. 
No, it's not offensive at all. 

263
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,840
The modern state of Israel is 
democratic state. 

264
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,080
They don't believe that they are
in charge of the world or 

265
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,680
anything like that. 
And just like if I wore Filipino

266
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,000
flag, it'd be like, yay, she 
loves the Philippines. 

267
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:03,520
Never offensive. 
OK. 

268
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:09,880
I don't wear jewelry, but if you
were to go to Israel, all those 

269
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,400
Jewish people would sell you 
stuff. 

270
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,000
So it's. 
Really. 

271
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,600
Yeah, they like it. 
Another question about the 

272
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:23,520
Sabbath of the Jews is Saturday 
or it would start on the 

273
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,440
Sundowns, a Friday. 
Is there any significance on 

274
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,720
Sunday to the Jewish? 
Faith or can you like refresh us

275
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:37,720
why? 
We chose Sunday to be for the 

276
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,000
Jewish faith. 
Sunday, it means nothing. 

277
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,240
What why Sunday means something 
to us is because the the 

278
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,720
scriptures say that on the first
day of the week, Jesus rose from

279
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,480
the dead. 
So the early disciples who were 

280
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Jewish still went to synagogue. 
It's clear in the scriptures. 

281
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,080
They still gathered, they still 
went, and they still believe the

282
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,440
Torah, but to separate 
themselves from the people that 

283
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,040
were not believing as Yeshua's 
Messiah, they also met on the 

284
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,360
first day of the week. 
As believers in Messiah Jesus. 

285
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:15,000
We are the ones, we are the Jews
who see our Messiah has come. 

286
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,200
That's why Sunday is from the 
resurrection from the dead. 

287
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,560
Modern day Jews still meet on. 
If you are a Christian believer 

288
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,880
in Jesus, we still meet Shabbat.
We still meet Friday evening and

289
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,960
you still spend Saturday with 
your family. 

290
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:34,520
It is still the significant time
for modern Messianic Jews. 

291
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,480
Although maybe some meet on 
Sunday. 

292
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:40,600
They tend to meet on the Friday 
night, Saturday, mainly because 

293
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,880
now the problem is not 
separation, but identification. 

294
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:48,320
So before it was you're Jewish, 
you must do our thing and they 

295
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,320
had to separate. 
Now it's like, no, actually 

296
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,560
we're still Jewish even though 
we follow Messiah. 

297
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,160
So because of that, it's 
identification. 

298
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,840
OK, so I'm going to ask the 
question and let you guys answer

299
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,440
since I've been running my mouth
a lot. 

300
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:08,120
OK, so the first question that 
was sent, if God is love, why 

301
00:22:08,120 --> 00:22:12,480
would he pick a country and call
it the chosen country when they 

302
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,440
started a war? 
And why is the church not 

303
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,200
speaking up about the famine 
happening in Gaza? 

304
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:24,320
Go again. 
OK, so here. 

305
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:30,040
To start with, the famine in 
Gaza is a lie, OK? 

306
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,640
It's not true. 
Israel is the only country they 

307
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:43,200
feed, even their enemies, OK. 
The thing is the Hamas is the 

308
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:50,880
one stealing the goods, OK, The 
aid that were, you know, given 

309
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,720
to them. 
So, you know, it's a long story 

310
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,560
to tell. 
There's a lot of evidences, a 

311
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,280
lot of video clips, a proof to 
show that. 

312
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,680
But you have to be you have to 
join the channel of Amir Sarfati

313
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,080
in Telegram. 
OK, So you have to back read all

314
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:18,800
the thousands of news since 
October 7 of 2023. 

315
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Imagine that 232425 S over 2 
years. 

316
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:28,080
OK, so you will you can follow 
you see how the the Hamas the 

317
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,480
are the ones that are killing 
their own people. 

318
00:23:32,120 --> 00:23:38,160
OK, so Israel is doing the right
thing, and what they're really 

319
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,960
doing is they're just defending 
themselves, OK? 

320
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,280
Because if they want, nobody 
will save them. 

321
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,160
They will be gone. 
Imagine what Iran did, you know,

322
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,360
when Iran sent thousands of 
ballistic missiles, if not for 

323
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:57,400
the Lord's mercy and grace, 
giving them wisdom how to defend

324
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,000
themselves. 
OK, they won't be Israel today, 

325
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:08,080
all right, but because of God. 
Now, why is the world, a world, 

326
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,480
you know, complaining? 
Why is Israel doing this? 

327
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:17,960
You know, you know what? 
Why is why the world did not 

328
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,800
complain when Iran tried to 
destroy Israel. 

329
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,200
And now Israel is defending 
itself. 

330
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,120
The world is against it. 
You don't. 

331
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,760
We don't understand. 
Look, if somebody will hostage, 

332
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,920
you know, will kidnap my 
children, there will be no 

333
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,640
peace. 
Do you understand? 

334
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:45,640
Very simple, what Israel demands
now so that the war will end is 

335
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,600
released the hostages. 
That's number one and that for 

336
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,400
the Hamas to disarm for us long.
Hamas is there OK. 

337
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,760
That's why the two state 
solution will never work. 

338
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,520
They did that for many, many 
years, many times. 

339
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,120
But they only use that two state
solution thing to form to, to to

340
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:11,960
arm themselves and make it a 
fortress against to this for the

341
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,160
destruction of Israel. 
So the point is that there 

342
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,480
should be no, no, we're going 
into the politics now. 

343
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,640
But The thing is this very 
simple. 

344
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:28,520
Israel doesn't want war. 
They are for peace, but the 

345
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,120
neighbors, they want Israel's 
destruction. 

346
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,160
So Israel is just there to 
defend themselves who started 

347
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,560
the war? 
Not Israel. 

348
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,160
If God is love, why would he 
pick a country and call it the 

349
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,840
chosen country when they when 
they started the war? 

350
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,920
No they did not started this 
war. 

351
00:25:52,800 --> 00:26:00,200
Look at history, almost all the 
wars, OK, Israel never started 

352
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,400
each of them, but every time 
Israel won the war, remember 

353
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,840
that because God said I will 
bring you back and nobody will 

354
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,000
will, you know, take that land 
from you. 

355
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,640
Eric said God made this 
covenant, He gave it to his 

356
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,560
people. 
So the owner who created the 

357
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:25,000
whole universe said it's yours. 
So no one has the right to take 

358
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,840
it from them, not even us. 
That's why we recognize Israel 

359
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,680
as Israel, because God said it. 
Now about the chosen thing, I'd 

360
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,240
like to read this one. 
Christians should definitely 

361
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:42,040
support the nation of Israel. 
Why? 

362
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,760
Because God is supporting 
Israel. 

363
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:50,480
If you don't support Israel, 
you're not on the side of God. 

364
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,640
That's that's the point. 
OK, we must remember that 

365
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,040
Israel, the nation is a very is 
very special to God. 

366
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,360
So what is the basis can can I 
read the Scripture Deuteronomy 

367
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,880
Chapter 7, six to eight. 
It says, for you are a people 

368
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,200
holy to the Lord your God. 
The Lord your God has chosen you

369
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,040
out of all the peoples on the 
face of the earth to be his 

370
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,640
people, His treasured 
possession. 

371
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,480
Who chose Israel. 
Does he have the right to choose

372
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,240
Israel? 
Not just because he's a creator,

373
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:34,600
but because he is sovereign. 
He knows better than us if we 

374
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,640
choose, if we, you know, we 
might make the mistake for 

375
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,400
choosing the wrong country. 
OK, do you understand? 

376
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,360
Because we don't know, but God 
is sovereign. 

377
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,360
Hello, who is more intelligent 
than God? 

378
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:56,360
Raise your hand OK so when God 
says this he said it OK because 

379
00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:02,840
he knows what he's doing Amen. 
So he said listen, he said the 

380
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,960
Lord your God has chosen you out
of all peoples on the face of 

381
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,880
the earth to be his people. 
His treasured possession of some

382
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,560
people say Israel is not the 
chosen nation. 

383
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,040
No, Read Deuteronomy Chapter 7 
verse 6. 

384
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,480
Verse 7 says the Lord did not 
set his affection on you and 

385
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,520
choose you because you were more
numerous than other peoples, for

386
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,280
you were the fewest of all 
people. 

387
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,720
So God has a different basis. 
Verse 8 But it was because the 

388
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,880
Lord loved you. 
So God is love correct? 

389
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,440
And kept the oath he swore to 
your ancestors that he brought 

390
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,440
you out with a mighty hand and 
redeem you from the land of 

391
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,960
slavery, from the power of 
Pharaoh, king of Egypt. 

392
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,680
So listen. 
So the question was, if God is 

393
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,200
love, why would he pick a 
country and call it the chosen 

394
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:04,800
country when it started the war?
So again, OK, Israel never 

395
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:11,680
started the war if Hamas did 
not, you know, attack Israel 

396
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:20,120
last October 7th, 2023. 
You know, Palestine, the the 

397
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:25,720
country should dream, should be 
there still beautiful, OK, they 

398
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,160
have beautiful beaches each 
other. 

399
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,600
But now it's all rubbles, it's 
all ruins. 

400
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,320
That's because what you saw you 
reap. 

401
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,080
OK. 
So I think, I hope I answered 

402
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,040
the question And about the 
famine, it's not true. 

403
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,560
There's so much food there, OK? 
I already told you some of this 

404
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:54,040
Palestinians, they were skinny, 
but then after the war, they 

405
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,920
grew, they they gained weight, 
OK? 

406
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,720
So there's no famine there, OK? 
So don't give in to the 

407
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,120
propagandas, OK? 
So there was a question on what 

408
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,600
define Israel, because the 
scriptural Israel, biblical 

409
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,480
Israel, is that the same as the 
state of Israel? 

410
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,680
And then there's the question 
about what does Palestinian even

411
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,040
mean? 
So just a really quick history 

412
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,360
lesson and you guys can tap in 
if you want. 

413
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,360
So before 1948, when Israel 
returned to the land of Israel, 

414
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,880
and I say returned, there have 
always been Jews living on the 

415
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,760
land. 
Even during the time before 

416
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,200
1948, there have always been 
Jews on the land. 

417
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,000
In the time of Jesus, there were
well over a million Jews living 

418
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,520
on that land. 
That it was not called 

419
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,840
Palestine, it was called Judea 
and Samaria. 

420
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,320
The name Palestine comes from 
Palestina, which is a word 

421
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,720
related directly to the 
Philistines. 

422
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,080
The Philistines were a seafaring
people of the time of David the 

423
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,280
king. 
Malek David. 

424
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,680
During his time they were in war
with each other. 

425
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,440
Malek David, you put it down. 
No more war, OK? 

426
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,720
They were at war with each 
other. 

427
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,200
The Philistines were the big 
enemies of Israel. 

428
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,800
So when Hadrian. 
I'm going to fast forwarding to 

429
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,680
the Roman Empire. 
Now we've got all this fighting 

430
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,000
over the land. 
OK, So the Jews were expelled 

431
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,840
from their land in 586 BC. 
Temples destroyed. 

432
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,880
They're expelled throughout the 
nations. 

433
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,400
There were Jews everywhere. 
Then you've got the book of 

434
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,640
Nehemiah, where Nehemiah is told
that your people can now go back

435
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,880
and rebuild. 
They go back and they rebuild 

436
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,760
the temple. 
This is the first destruction, 

437
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,720
the first rebuilding. 
We've got that in our 

438
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,280
Scriptures. 
It was prophesied by Jeremiah. 

439
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,520
It will be destroyed. 
You'll return. 

440
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,080
OK. 
That was the first return. 

441
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,320
There they are on the land at 
that time. 

442
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,320
It's still the word. 
Palestina is never used for that

443
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,120
people because Palestina is the 
word Philistine. 

444
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,640
There was an area where the 
Philistines live that sometimes 

445
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,680
was referred to as Palestina. 
You'll see in literature the 

446
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,720
word goes back into ancient 
times, but it's never referring 

447
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,080
to all of Israel. 
It's simply referring to the 

448
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,320
land where the Philistines live.
So if you see the word Palestina

449
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,360
in ancient literature, it's 
always referring to that small 

450
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,760
little area where Philistine 
people live. 

451
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,480
Now architectural or 
archaeological evidence shows us

452
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,520
the Philistines do not any 
longer exist. 

453
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,000
They're gone. 
They're a wiped out people group

454
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,160
that there is no one. 
And even to this day people call

455
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,360
themselves Palestinians, cannot 
trace their history to the 

456
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,160
Philistines. 
They are not Philistines. 

457
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,040
The people living on the 
Palestinian territory, if they 

458
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,760
claim they are Philistines, they
can no longer claim they are 

459
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,800
Muslims, because Muslims, true 
Muslims, have to be descendants 

460
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,600
of Ishmael. 
So they either claim one, we're 

461
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,520
descendants of Ishmael and we're
Arabs, which is the truth, or 

462
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,320
they claim we're descendants of 
Philistines and we're 

463
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,560
Palestinians. 
One or the other cannot be both.

464
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,280
So the name Philistine was 
placed on the land. 

465
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,360
I mentioned Hadrian, the emperor
Hadrian hated the Jewish people,

466
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,200
kicked them out again. 
This is the second expelling in 

467
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,960
about 70 Adm. 
I think I've got my date right, 

468
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:10,120
70 AD after Jesus said not one 
stone will be left upon another.

469
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,480
The Jews could not imagine this 
because their temple was rebuilt

470
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,920
and beautiful and they thought 
there's no way this will happen 

471
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,520
again. 
But it happened just as Jesus 

472
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,360
said, burned to the ground, 
destroyed. 

473
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,000
You can still see we've been 
there. 

474
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,840
You can still see the burn marks
on these stones that used to be 

475
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,320
the temple. 
They're expelled again. 

476
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,680
And Hadrian says, well, who's 
the worst enemies Israel ever 

477
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,880
had? 
Ah, the Philistines. 

478
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,800
We'll name this Palestina after 
the Philistines. 

479
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,600
It was a mockery against the 
Jews. 

480
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,920
So he named the land that to 
mock them because now they 

481
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,960
weren't in their land any longer
and they're all over the world. 

482
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,520
As time went on, we're going to 
Fast forward quite a bit. 

483
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,800
The people of Israel, unlike any
other people group now, there 

484
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,640
have been many people groups 
that have been kicked out of 

485
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,280
their lands and whatever. 
And what happens over history is

486
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,520
they just, they just kind of 
disappear. 

487
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,320
They either assimilate to the 
people groups that they're in or

488
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,400
they just die out. 
You don't even hear about them 

489
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,800
anymore. 
Those are wiped out people 

490
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,320
groups. 
But the Jews, that didn't happen

491
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,920
because God gave the Jews 
certain rules that would 

492
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,880
separate them from the nation's.
People got mad at that. 

493
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,199
They didn't like that the Jews 
don't eat our pork. 

494
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,840
Who are they? 
The Jews don't sit under our 

495
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,800
tables. 
Who are they? 

496
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,520
Who are they? 
Who do they think they are? 

497
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,440
This special people, group, 
chosen nation? 

498
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,520
Who are you? 
Why did they act so arrogant? 

499
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:37,760
God chose to pull the Jews aside
and give them a little bit of 

500
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,639
separation so that he could 
bring to them of bringing back 

501
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:44,760
together. 
Because if they're across the 

502
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,920
nations and they're like, well, 
I'll just be a Filipino, I'm in 

503
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,480
the Philippines. 
We would lose all the Jews and 

504
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,400
God could not return them to 
their land. 

505
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,960
And he promised that he would. 
So they kept being separate and 

506
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,080
people got mad. 
They didn't like that. 

507
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,480
So over time, you see all these 
persecutions happening to the 

508
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,000
Jewish people. 
So many people try to wipe out 

509
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,440
the Jews. 
Why? 

510
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,520
Because all the way from, we 
always say from Haman to Hamas. 

511
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,440
Haman was what tried to wipe out
the people with estersteim to 

512
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,440
Hamas. 
From Haman to Hamas, the spirit 

513
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,000
is the same. 
The enemy wants to destroy the 

514
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,800
promise of God and keep prophecy
from happening, but he cannot do

515
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,840
it. 
He has tried so many times 

516
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,440
moving forward to the Holocaust.
We've got the Holocaust. 

517
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,680
We've got a crazy man trying to 
kill every Jewish person, even 

518
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,680
those who have only one. 
So much grandparent. 

519
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,720
I would not be here this day. 
My grandmother has a Jewish 

520
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:44,760
grandparent and she was alive 
during that time period. 

521
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,720
Do you understand? 
Every single Jew they wanted to 

522
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:52,360
destroy. 
So he failed again, Failed. 

523
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,160
Then the Jews returned to their 
land. 

524
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:59,800
Now at the time, in the 1920s, I
have a picture that we saw in 

525
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,880
the hotel when we were in Israel
in the 1920s, Jews were in the 

526
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,320
land and so were Arabs. 
They were living side by side. 

527
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,080
The land was then called 
Palestine. 

528
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,960
It was under the control of 
Great Britain, of the of the 

529
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,120
British Empire. 
So during that time no one else 

530
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,640
owned the land. 
It was called Palestine, still 

531
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,400
from Hadrian, not anything. 
It was not a country. 

532
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,600
There was no flag. 
Everyone say there was no flag, 

533
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:36,320
there was no country, there was 
no government, it did not exist.

534
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,200
There is no ancient Palestinian 
nation. 

535
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,920
The flag was created in 1965 I 
think it was. 

536
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,440
You can look it up, look up find
out in Google. 

537
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,320
When was the Palestinian flag 
created? 

538
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,640
It was only created to create a 
people group so they could fight

539
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,360
and have a cause. 
There was no people group called

540
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,040
Palestinians. 
They are Arabs. 

541
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:06,240
So in 1920s when you said I'm a 
Palestinian, in the 1920s you 

542
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,280
were almost always saying you 
are a Jew. 

543
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,960
The Palestinian Times was a 
Jewish newspaper. 

544
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,560
The Palestinian Symphony was a 
Jewish orchestra. 

545
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,880
Everything Palestinian were Jews
living on the land. 

546
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,160
You are a Davao Annual only 
because you're living in Davao. 

547
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,840
But what is your nationality? 
You're Filipino. 

548
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,240
I will not become a Filipino 
just because I moved to Davao. 

549
00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:36,160
I'm still an American but I can 
say I'm Davao Annual. 

550
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,280
I live in Davao, but am I 
changing my ethnicity because I 

551
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,320
moved to Davao? 
No. 

552
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,400
So those people who moved to 
Palestine called themselves 

553
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,440
Palestinians. 
They were both Arabs and Jews. 

554
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,880
1964 is when the flag was 
created for Palestine, just so 

555
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,240
you know that. 
So the Israelis there now, in 

556
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,200
1948, there is no such thing as 
a Palestine. 

557
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,240
They're not taking over a 
territory that belongs to a 

558
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:04,680
country. 
It is simply designed by the UN,

559
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,640
which Great Britain agreed and 
everyone agreed. 

560
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,200
Let's find a safe place for the 
Jews to come. 

561
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,000
And that's when Israel was re 
established as a nation. 

562
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,880
There was no, now I'm going to 
say one more thing. 

563
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,560
When we were in Israel, we went 
with two young ladies who their 

564
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:27,200
parents lived in the Israel of 
Palestinian territory before, I 

565
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,560
think right outside of Gaza. 
No, in were they in Gaza? 

566
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,080
Maybe it was Gaza. 
Anyways, they were in that 

567
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,080
Palestinian territory in 1948. 
When Israel comes back to the 

568
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:41,280
land, they had land that 
belonged to them. 

569
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,080
And Israel came in and they were
not Jewish, they were Arabs or 

570
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,080
something. 
Anyways, they had land that 

571
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,280
belonged to them. 
The Palestinian authorities, 

572
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:57,240
which were Arabs, said to them, 
take your deed of your house and

573
00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:00,920
your property and leave because 
we're going to destroy all these

574
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,520
Jews. 
We're going to wipe them into 

575
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,960
the ocean. 
Yeah, I'm not going to say her 

576
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,960
name, but we're going to wipe 
them into the ocean. 

577
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,720
You come back with your deed of 
your property and you can have 

578
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:12,800
it back. 
We were there with them. 

579
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,320
They were going through the the 
streets and with their mom on 

580
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:18,920
the video. 
Mom, look at this. 

581
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,600
Oh, there used to be a bakery. 
Oh, I remember this. 

582
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,600
I remember that. 
All of this. 

583
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:28,240
OK, So I said to this girl, I 
said, why don't you go to the 

584
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:31,080
Israeli authorities and tell 
them I've got a deed. 

585
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:35,360
I have a deed of my land. 
Give me some compensation. 

586
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,040
Someone's living on my land. 
And do you know what they said 

587
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,040
Israel said we can do that. 
Israel would give us 

588
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:45,120
compensation even though it's 
been what's that, 50 years or 

589
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,560
something? 
We would give compensation. 

590
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,400
Do you know why they don't get 
compensation for their land? 

591
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,440
The Arab Palestinian authorities
told them you make a deal with 

592
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,480
Israel and we'll, we will hunt 
you down. 

593
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,160
So who's keeping them from their
land? 

594
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,160
Israel. 
No, the ones that's keeping them

595
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,240
from their land is their very 
own people because they will not

596
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,880
stop until every Jew is off the 
face of the planet. 

597
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,720
And God said that will never 
happen. 

598
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:16,920
We're still here. 
We're still here. 

599
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:25,320
Fill the fire. 
Ezekiel 11/17 Therefore God 

600
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,760
says. 
Therefore say thus says the Lord

601
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:34,640
God, I will gather you from the 
peoples, assemble you from the 

602
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,080
countries where you have been 
scattered, and I will give you 

603
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:46,400
the land of Israel. 
So the Jews were scattered after

604
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:53,360
the destruction of the temple 
and 70AD all over the world. 

605
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,680
They were persecuted by many 
different people groups. 

606
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:05,080
They kept their value of who 
they were as a people because of

607
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,480
the covenants that got 
established with them. 

608
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,880
See those covenants that God 
gave them was so they would 

609
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:21,240
value what to look for and God 
revealing himself to them 

610
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:28,120
eventually as they're scattered 
all over the place, the Lord 

611
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,160
brings them back to the land of 
Israel. 

612
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,320
Well, just like Casey said is 
that people say, well, you know,

613
00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:41,480
Israel doesn't have claim to the
lamb, but archaeological 

614
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,440
evidence clearly says that they 
do. 

615
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,680
Show me any Palestinian 
archaeological evidence. 

616
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,000
There is none. 
It doesn't exist. 

617
00:41:54,480 --> 00:42:02,840
Look, Israel has been so willing
to extend peace to those who 

618
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:09,120
call themselves Palestinians, 
which is a made-up name nation. 

619
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,200
It's not. 
It's not real, but they were 

620
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,120
willing to work with them. 
And all they have done is 

621
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:25,800
attack, sent terrorists, suicide
bombers into Israel. 

622
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,840
That's why Israel built the 
wall. 

623
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,480
It's not because they didn't 
like people, but because they're

624
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:38,960
trying to keep out terrorists. 
And eventually all this 

625
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,560
continued to happen in Israel 
says we've had enough. 

626
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:50,320
So when September 7th took place
and how many people died, I'm 

627
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:58,760
sorry, October 7th took place, I
think what 1200 plus I believe 

628
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:03,680
died, were murdered when they 
died. 

629
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:08,640
That was the worst attack on 
Israel since the Holocaust. 

630
00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:13,840
You have to understand that 
prior to the Holocaust there was

631
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:19,080
no state of Israel. 
They had no way to to to defend 

632
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:24,920
themselves except God, and God 
kept them alive. 

633
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:33,880
OK, now they have their country,
they have their land, they have 

634
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,880
a military. 
I've heard some call them the 

635
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,480
only superpower in the Middle 
East. 

636
00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:42,280
Superpower. 
You know what that means? 

637
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:48,240
Don't mess with us. 
And the fact is, several 

638
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:55,360
countries have lost their 
leaders since this war in 2023. 

639
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:03,600
So we can argue about politics, 
or you can look at the reality 

640
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:08,800
of what Scripture says and what 
we're seeing happen. 

641
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:15,600
The Iranian government was 
almost completely picked off, 

642
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:22,320
and yet there is a Christian 
revival taking place in Iran 

643
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,760
right now. 
And those people love Israel. 

644
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:32,560
See, if you read your Bible and 
you you say, Lord, help me to 

645
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:38,320
understand the mystery, the 
revelation of what Israel is. 

646
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,520
It's going to become very clear 
on what God is doing and where 

647
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,680
we are in the time frame of the 
end times. 

648
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:52,160
Now that God has brought the 
people back to Israel, we can 

649
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:57,760
see an escalation of prophetic 
end time prophecy being 

650
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:03,000
fulfilled. 
Like right now, Israel is 

651
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,520
gaining back territory and land 
that was included in the 

652
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:11,120
original allotment that God gave
them for Canaan. 

653
00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:15,880
It's not all back. 
If they did that, surely there 

654
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,240
would be World War three. 
But I look at this and I'm 

655
00:45:20,240 --> 00:45:26,480
thinking, well, this is inching 
us closer towards the reality of

656
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:32,720
Christ's return because Jesus 
said he's not coming back until 

657
00:45:32,720 --> 00:45:35,080
he's being welcomed by the 
Jewish people. 

658
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,200
Blessed is he who comes in the 
name of the Lord. 

659
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:45,920
That means there has to be a 
Jewish Israel in order for the 

660
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,640
Messiah to be welcomed back. 
Can you answer this one then? 

661
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:55,680
So when, when, when September 
23rd Rapture did not take place,

662
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,640
What do you think is one of the 
major region reasons why? 

663
00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:04,680
First of all, it was just not a 
good prediction. 

664
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:12,040
Second of all, there's not a 
Jewish Israel yet a Jewish 

665
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,720
Messianic Israel. 
There's Jews who live there, but

666
00:46:17,720 --> 00:46:21,880
they're conflicted. 
Tel Aviv is one of the most 

667
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,600
ungodly cities in the Middle 
East promoting homosexuality. 

668
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:32,240
But see if you're a homosexual. 
Like it's crazy because in 

669
00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:36,840
America and Western countries, 
all the LGBTQ folks are holding 

670
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:44,840
up Palestinian flags. 
Get on a boat, go to Gaza and 

671
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,840
see how the Palestinians treat 
you. 

672
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:54,000
They will treat you horrible. 
Go to Israel in the Tel Aviv and

673
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,840
you could celebrate in the club 
your homosexuality. 

674
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,200
I'm not saying that's right. 
What I'm saying is there's a 

675
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:06,120
difference in value for life 
that Israel has that's totally 

676
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,840
different from the Muslim 
mindset and the Palestinian 

677
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,120
thinking. 
OK. 

678
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,240
So the question was can you 
define what Israel means in the 

679
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:19,600
sense that is the biblical 
Israel the same as the modern 

680
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,640
day state of Israel? 
And in that sense also, does 

681
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,240
that mean that we would 
unconditionally support the 

682
00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:28,680
government of Israel and 
everything that it does go? 

683
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:37,280
So I think we need to look at 
what Paul says is that he says 

684
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:41,680
all Israel will be saved. 
Well, that's not happened yet. 

685
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,720
And I don't believe he's talking
about all the Jews throughout 

686
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:50,760
history are going to be saved. 
Look, just because you're Jewish

687
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,320
doesn't mean you're born again. 
Hello. 

688
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,440
The law doesn't help us. 
It leaves us helpless. 

689
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,280
It points us to the Messiah. 
The Messiah is the one who 

690
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,800
fulfills the law for us and took
on the wrath of God upon 

691
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,400
himself. 
So because of what Jesus has 

692
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,080
done, that's the only way that 
we could be saved by putting our

693
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:20,600
faith in the Jewish Messiah. 
But here's here's what we need 

694
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,320
to understand. 
Paul didn't say that the church 

695
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,680
replaces Israel. 
He did not say that. 

696
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:36,320
It's like I said before, there 
was a root which was Jewish that

697
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,200
God established the covenant 
with. 

698
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:46,480
Gentiles were grafted into that 
route and eventually Israel will

699
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:51,600
come back to that route. 
But is the in between the bridge

700
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:57,360
of the Gentiles that is 
preparing the way to make Israel

701
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:02,360
jealous for their Messiah. 
So the the point is why is 

702
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:07,440
Israel important and and why is 
the church important is because 

703
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:12,760
if the church has a bad 
misunderstanding that they 

704
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:18,560
replace Israel as God's chosen 
people, then Israel has no more 

705
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,680
value then God is not blessing 
them. 

706
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,880
They are not a light to the 
nations like God said that they 

707
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,400
are, that they have no more 
valuable importance. 

708
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:37,360
And so this is the very 
teaching, supersessionism, 

709
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:45,400
replacement theology that Hitler
took and gave way. 

710
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:51,240
For him to say why he needs to 
destroy all the Jews is because 

711
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:54,240
they're not valuable anymore so 
we might as well kill them all 

712
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:59,320
because all they do is cause 
problems, which that's not true 

713
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:06,080
and so he was trying to give him
his conscience, a green light on

714
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:11,720
why it is OK to murder people. 
Paul was clearly telling us that

715
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,320
the church, Gentile church, 
doesn't replace Israel, but that

716
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:22,200
that church is grafted into the 
root, the root being a Jewish 

717
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:27,640
Messiah, a Jewish covenants that
God established with Israel long

718
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:32,840
ago. 
And now we have to understand 

719
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,760
that God is going to fulfill his
promises to Israel. 

720
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,440
He's, he's not going to ignore 
them. 

721
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,280
He's not going to say you're not
valuable, you're not important 

722
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,160
anymore. 
Again, if we believe that, we 

723
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,200
can't believe God's promises to 
us. 

724
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,520
So in relation to the government
of Israel and the state of 

725
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:59,160
Israel versus the biblical 
Israel, I would say some, a lot 

726
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,200
of believers are struggling on 
this around the world and 

727
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,160
they're saying that Israel as 
defined in the Bible is not the 

728
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,840
state of Israel. 
Then I would like to ask then, 

729
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,840
who is? 
Who is the state of who is the 

730
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,120
biblical Israel if it's not the 
state of Israel? 

731
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,880
And if your answer is then the 
church, then you can refer to 

732
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,320
the answer that was just given 
to you. 

733
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,600
But if you think that somehow 
the people of Israel means a 

734
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,640
different thing than the state 
of Israel, that's really hard to

735
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,280
to make any sense out of that. 
That's like saying, like I said 

736
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,040
last week, I do love the 
Philippines. 

737
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,000
Do you love the Philippines? 
Who loves the Philippines? 

738
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,640
OK, I love the Philippines, but 
do I love everything my 

739
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,560
government in the Philippines 
does? 

740
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,640
No. 
So is it OK to sometimes look at

741
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,760
the government of Israel and 
say, wait, is that right? 

742
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,120
Is that OK? 
Is that OK to do as a believer? 

743
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,960
Yes. 
It's OK to look critically. 

744
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:03,760
Come on, people, You can love 
Israel and the people of Israel 

745
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,280
and the Jews enough to look 
critically at the government and

746
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,200
say, are they doing the right 
thing? 

747
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:14,680
I will never sit back and say 
it's OK too kill them all. 

748
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,480
Kill all the Palestinians. 
They're not a real people 

749
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,560
anyway. 
Just destroy them all. 

750
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,880
I would never do that. 
And as a believer, if I ever 

751
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,840
hear that out of your mouth, 
even in a prayer meeting, I'm 

752
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,840
going to stop you. 
Because the Palestinian people, 

753
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:33,720
what they call Palestinians, are
people created in the image of 

754
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:38,040
Almighty God, for whom the 
Messiah, Jesus came to give his 

755
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,960
life. 
He exchanged his own life for 

756
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:46,040
every one of those Arabs, 
Muslims in that area. 

757
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,320
And we should love them just the
same. 

758
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,480
So the question about the state 
of Israel, the government versus

759
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,320
the people of Israel, they're 
very tightly connected. 

760
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,520
And yet there is a clear 
definition that we don't always 

761
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:59,680
have to support everything the 
government does. 

762
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,560
And that is OK to think 
critically, to ask critical 

763
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,280
questions. 
I saw a message this morning 

764
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,400
from our friend Ron Cantor, who 
lives 10 minutes from the Gaza 

765
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,080
order, and he was saying how 
even though the famine is really

766
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,120
made-up and a lot of things are 
exaggerated, there is a 

767
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,800
humanitarian crisis in that 
people's homes have been 

768
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,080
destroyed and people are are 
displaced from their home, 

769
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,600
moving from one place to another
to another to another, and their

770
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:30,800
children are not stable. 
There's so much danger. 

771
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,360
It's very real. 
And as believers, if we do not 

772
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:38,560
consider that is a real issue, 
but we're just like, go Israel, 

773
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,840
destroy them all. 
We are in the wrong camp, OK? 

774
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:48,280
And I don't believe any true 
godly Israeli would say even the

775
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:54,560
IDF, we've had conversations 
with IDF soldiers who struggle 

776
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,880
with the fact that they have to,
that they have to go into a 

777
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:04,240
place and they have to do a job 
to get hostages out. 

778
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,760
It's not easy. 
It's not about kill all the the 

779
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,120
enemy. 
Jesus said to treat your 

780
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:17,120
enemies, even your enemies, with
respect and love, because God 

781
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:22,440
loves even those horrible, evil,
evil people because there's a 

782
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,880
chance of repentance as long as 
he is in the picture. 

783
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:34,640
Maybe we'll add more to 
substantiate about Israel is 

784
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,480
still the same Israel. 
Yeah. 

785
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:44,280
And about the replacement 
theology, if you read Romans 

786
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:49,000
Chapter 11, it's all there now 
very basic, but I'll just in 

787
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:54,640
verse one it says I asked them 
verse 1, Chapter 11, verse one 

788
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:59,040
of Romans, it says did God 
reject his people referring to 

789
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:05,360
Israel by no means. 
So you see the Lord will never 

790
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,800
reject his people. 
Let me just jump, OK, You read 

791
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:17,000
the whole chapter when at home. 
So let me just jump directly if 

792
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:23,040
you are there, go with me to 
this is what Eric mentioned a 

793
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:27,440
while ago. 
That's Romans 11 the day verse 

794
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,440
11. 
Again I asked did they stumble 

795
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,480
so as to fall beyond recovery. 
Not at all. 

796
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,480
OK. 
Rather it says because of their 

797
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,920
transgression, our unbelief, 
salvation has come to the 

798
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:49,080
Gentiles to make Israel envious.
But if their transgression, you 

799
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:56,000
know, means riches for the world
and their loss means riches for 

800
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:01,280
the Gentiles, how much greater 
riches will their fullness 

801
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,640
bring? 
He said, I am talking to you 

802
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,840
verse 13. 
I am talking to you Gentiles. 

803
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:11,000
In as much as I am an apostle to
the Gentiles, I make much of my 

804
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:15,840
ministry in the hope that I may 
somehow arose my own people to 

805
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:20,240
envy and save some of them. 
That's what at the case he said 

806
00:56:20,240 --> 00:56:22,320
that there you know people are 
getting saved. 

807
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:29,320
Listen to this verse 15. 
It says, for if their rejection 

808
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,760
is the reconciliation of the 
world, what will their 

809
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:38,040
acceptance be but be but life 
from the dead. 

810
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,160
If the part of the door offered 
as first word is holy, then the 

811
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:48,080
whole batch is holy. 
If the root is holy, so are the 

812
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:52,200
branches. 
So now it says, if some of the 

813
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,760
branches have been broken off, 
and you, though you, a wild 

814
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,360
olive, should have been grafted 
in among the others, and now 

815
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:06,160
share the nourishing SAP from 
the olive root, do not boast 

816
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,040
over the branches. 
If you do consider this, you do 

817
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,800
not support the root, but the 
root supports you. 

818
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,520
You will say then branches were 
broken. 

819
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:19,960
Also that I could be grafted in.
Granted it says, but they were 

820
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:25,600
broken off because of unbelief. 
OK, and you stand by faith. 

821
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:30,480
Do not be arrogant, but be 
afraid, for if God did not spare

822
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:35,280
the natural branches, He will 
not spare you either. 

823
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:39,080
Now here's the thing, that's why
I said from the very start, 

824
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:43,880
where should you side? 
You side with Israel because God

825
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,360
is on that side, because God is 
faithful, God is holy. 

826
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:52,520
Now look at this. 
We were grafted in the in the 

827
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,200
olive, right? 
So why the question is this? 

828
00:57:56,200 --> 00:58:00,040
Because we don't see Israel as 
the Israel before. 

829
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,120
The Israel before was a 
spiritual Israel. 

830
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,280
They asked from God, they 
inquire from God. 

831
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,960
But the Israel today do not 
inquire from God because they're

832
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:14,600
called secular Israel. 
So that's why I said they are 

833
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,240
secular Israel now. 
But will that return to the 

834
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:24,760
origin original state where this
Israel becomes a religious 1A 

835
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,640
God loving Israel. 
Yes. 

836
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:32,160
Remember, did God reject Israel?
No. 

837
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,480
Why is that? 
Because Eric was using this as 

838
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:40,880
the, the the natural olive God. 
Because of their unbelief, God 

839
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:47,280
has to cut, cut it. 
OK, so that we Gentiles can be 

840
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:53,720
grafted in, Do you understand? 
So their loss is a blessing to 

841
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,480
us. 
Do you understand? 

842
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:01,160
So you say all they are not the 
Israel that that they used to 

843
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:03,040
be. 
It's it's not the Israel that I 

844
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,120
read from the Bible. 
Hey, hey, hey, hey. 

845
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,560
Did God allow them to be blinded
at the moment? 

846
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,720
Yes. 
Why? 

847
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,800
The question is why? 
So that you and I will get 

848
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,520
saved. 
We have the opportunity to hear 

849
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,120
the gospel and be saved. 
Let me continue. 

850
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:24,400
It says verse 25. 
Listen, you who are watching 

851
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,800
online, listen to this verse 25.
It says I do not want you to be 

852
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:30,920
ignorant of this mystery, 
brothers, so that you may not be

853
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,160
conceited. 
Israel has experienced a 

854
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,640
hardening in part. 
Now they are secular Israel. 

855
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:43,160
Why they are experiencing 
hardening in part until the full

856
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,040
number of Gentiles has come in 
and then what? 

857
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:51,400
That's what Eric said and then 
all Israel will be safe. 

858
00:59:52,240 --> 01:00:00,400
So look at me, God is waiting 
for us to finish the job if we 

859
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,920
want Israel to be back in its 
original state where they are, 

860
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,240
they love God, they, they 
acknowledge God, you know, 

861
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:13,000
hello, we have to finish the 
job, the Bible says until a 

862
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,720
number of Gentiles have come in 
the Kingdom of God. 

863
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,720
And then the focus will return 
back to Israel. 

864
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:23,800
Remember last Sunday I showed 
you the 70 weeks, the Daniel 

865
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:27,240
prophecy. 
It's divided into 3 segments. 

866
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,600
The first two segments came to 
pass already. 

867
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,680
The last part of the second 
segment was about Jesus being 

868
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:38,040
crucified. 
OK, but the last segment is the 

869
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:42,760
last seven years talking about 
this thing where God will show 

870
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:46,160
mercy to Israel, where God is 
going to graft Israel. 

871
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,960
So the focus now is on the 
Gentile world. 

872
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:53,080
That's the gap between between 
the last segment. 

873
01:00:53,280 --> 01:01:00,800
So the point is that we should 
not feel bad about Israel being 

874
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,800
secular right now. 
We should pray for them. 

875
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,160
Amen. 
We should feel bad about 

876
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,360
ourselves because we're delaying
it. 

877
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:13,040
We're part of the delay. 
Do you understand? 

878
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,360
So. 
So The thing is, oh, God has 

879
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,840
rejected Israel. 
God replaced Israel with the 

880
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,240
church. 
Wrong again. 

881
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,520
Why? 
Because they have to be in the 

882
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:30,720
state of unbelief so that the 
Gentiles can come in until the 

883
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:35,120
number of Gentiles have come in 
and then the focus will return 

884
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,760
to Israel. 
Do you understand? 

885
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:39,560
It's here now. 
Now listen. 

886
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,640
So they said, oh, I don't like 
Israel because they don't treat 

887
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:46,280
me well when I went to Israel. 
You know, they look at Gentiles 

888
01:01:46,280 --> 01:01:47,720
as, you know, this, this and 
that. 

889
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,480
Yeah. 
Because they are, they don't 

890
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,160
believe are Jesus. 
Do you understand last part? 

891
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:58,200
Like if you're with me, you jump
with me to a verse 28 concerning

892
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:00,840
the gospel. 
They are enemies for your sake. 

893
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,120
So for now you think they're 
enemies? 

894
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:07,400
They don't believe are Jesus, 
which is their Messiah, OK? 

895
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:12,000
They don't treat us well 
concerning the gospel. 

896
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,560
They are enemies for your sake, 
but OK. 

897
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:21,320
But concerning the election, 
listen, they are what beloved 

898
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:29,000
for the sake of the fathers, 
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob next for 

899
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:34,880
the gifts and the calling of God
are and I I want to hear you say

900
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:41,160
that again for the gifts and the
calling of God are you see when 

901
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:46,200
God called them, when God chose 
them as a nation in Messiah 

902
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:55,800
Delian Gino hatak bawi. 
Do you understand God is a 

903
01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:00,960
faithful God? 
So God is not what they call 

904
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,640
this bow. 
What is bow in English? 

905
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,240
Take back. 
He's not going to take back what

906
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,160
he he promised, what he gave OK 
breaker. 

907
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:10,680
So. 
Promise. 

908
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:15,440
Breaker, where are we? 
Verse 30 for you, we're once 

909
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,320
disobedient to God. 
Listen this this is the Gentiles

910
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:22,120
verse 30 for you. 
We're once disobedient to God, 

911
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,840
yet have now obtained mercy 
through their disobedience. 

912
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,640
What? 
Through their disobedience? 

913
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:33,040
Yes, that's the point. 
They are disobedient now so that

914
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,560
we can come in. 
Do you understand? 

915
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:42,480
Because how I wish you, you, you
are all into farming. 

916
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,520
So we can understand. 
You know, I can show you how to 

917
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:50,920
graph and then you put a lot of 
branches and then later, OK, 

918
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:54,920
anyway, never mind that. 
So, so that is that is why it 

919
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,760
says yet you have now obtained 
mercy. 

920
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:03,040
So we before God was dealing 
with Israel and we are pagans in

921
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:04,400
in the Philippines. 
Do you understand? 

922
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:09,000
We don't know who God is. 
We worship the anitos anitas 

923
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,680
that was that they call, we 
worship the the balitic tree, we

924
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,200
worship the rocks, we worship 
the river. 

925
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:19,280
Do you understand we were pagans
before? 

926
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:21,240
The durian tree. 
The durian tree. 

927
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:26,720
Yeah. 
OK, So do you understand? 

928
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:32,200
But you see through Israel 
again, God used Israel. 

929
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:36,040
It's their book. 
This book is their book. 

930
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,800
So how can we not side with 
them? 

931
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:44,160
Are we? 
We're so ungrateful if we don't 

932
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,880
bless them and hold them in 
prayers. 

933
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:51,680
Do you understand? 
Without Israel, we're not saved.

934
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:56,520
But they have to go through 
unbelief. 

935
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:01,040
Listen to me so that we can come
in so that there is time. 

936
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,280
Because the Bible says once they
believe, it's the end. 

937
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,640
If they believe before, we're 
not saved. 

938
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,160
So there is no point not loving 
them and praying for them. 

939
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:24,360
God has never replaced Israel as
his chosen people. 

940
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,520
God did not replace them with 
the church. 

941
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:31,240
Listen to this. 
If God replaced them, no Israel,

942
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:35,720
then God is not faithful. 
And the Bible says Jesus is 

943
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:37,920
going to come back. 
Do you believe that? 

944
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:43,160
And he's going to come back as 
not as a baby, but the King of 

945
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:47,240
kings and Lord of Lords, that's 
a mighty warrior, and he's going

946
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,840
to establish his millennial 
Kingdom. 

947
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:58,520
Do you believe that? 
Where in the Philippines, in 

948
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,480
America? 
Where is going? 

949
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:05,320
Where will Jesus rule from what 
country? 

950
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:12,520
What specific place in Israel? 
So is there Israel right now? 

951
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:19,800
Yes, because the same Israel. 
You see the point is this, God 

952
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:23,920
is not done with Israel until 
today. 

953
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:31,280
Israel must exist remains until 
today so that the Lord can 

954
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,280
fulfill his promise because he's
going to come back and rule from

955
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:38,040
Jerusalem. 
So that Jerusalem, where Israel 

956
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,160
is situated right now is the 
same Israel. 

957
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:42,200
Amen. 
Amen. 

958
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:46,040
Where Jesus is going to rule. 
And I want to finish this before

959
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:50,080
I return. 
I'm, I'm, I feel the fire right 

960
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:57,560
now. 
OK, Listen to this Jeremiah 31, 

961
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,320
verses 35 to 36, you know. 
Oh, you have it there. 

962
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,200
Yeah, I have it. 
Yeah. 

963
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,280
You see, it's good not to 
prepare. 

964
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:13,120
So you see, you just flow. 
All right, So listen, Jeremiah 

965
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:18,840
31, verses 35 to 36, it says 
this is what the Lord says. 

966
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,920
Who says who said this? 
It's the Lord He said, He who 

967
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:28,400
appoints the sun to shine by 
day, who decrease the moon and 

968
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:33,920
stars to shine by night, who 
steers up the sea so that it's 

969
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:39,320
waves roar. 
The Lord Almighty is his name in

970
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:44,080
in verse 36. 
Only if this decrease vanish 

971
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:50,440
from my sight, declares the 
Lord, will Israel ever cease 

972
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:58,080
being a nation before me. 
So never, never. 

973
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,320
God will never change his mind. 
That's right. 

974
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,000
He is the same yesterday, today 
and forever. 

975
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,320
When he says you are my chosen 
nation, you will remain to be a 

976
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,400
chosen. 
But God is not done with them 

977
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,080
yet. 
That's right. 

978
01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,520
Amen. 
OK, so we OK, that's it. 

979
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,680
I've taken so much time already.
That's good. 

980
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:23,359
And if you read on Kuya Armin 
right after that, it says I will

981
01:08:23,359 --> 01:08:26,840
not cast off Israel for all they
have done. 

982
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,760
So even if Israel messes 
completely up, God will not 

983
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,680
reject them. 
There were two questions in the 

984
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:35,279
audience, so go ahead. 
If you have a question, you can 

985
01:08:35,279 --> 01:08:38,040
pop up whoever is the first 
person to the microphone. 

986
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,439
Go fight. 
Fight, fight, fight. 

987
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,760
Don't fight. 
We're trying to bring peace. 

988
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,520
So my question is all about the 
lost tribe of Israel. 

989
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:55,520
So I've heard that Afghans or 
even Pakistanis, some of them 

990
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,880
are lost tribe. 
They are, they said they came 

991
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:03,439
from Pashtun tribe. 
But we know that they are 

992
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:07,479
Muslims now and some of them are
Talibans. 

993
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:11,399
So my question. 
Would be are they still part of 

994
01:09:11,399 --> 01:09:15,399
the House of Israel because now 
they deny their. 

995
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,840
Roots and they hate Israel as we
know. 

996
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,240
So we there's not much about the
lost strike. 

997
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,520
So that goes my question. 
Thank you. 

998
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:29,080
Yeah, that's a good question. 
I think there's a lot of mystery

999
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,120
to it. 
But I also think that this is 

1000
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:36,800
one of the reasons why God gave 
covenants for Israel to keep, 

1001
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,359
because what else would separate
them? 

1002
01:09:40,359 --> 01:09:44,760
How else would we know? 
I mean, even though we know DNA 

1003
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:50,120
testing today, it's not going to
confirm if somebody's kept the 

1004
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:56,240
covenants or not. 
So I would say that probably 

1005
01:09:56,240 --> 01:10:02,040
most of that has been lost. 
Is it possible that God could 

1006
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,720
bring that out? 
It is very possible. 

1007
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:09,760
You know, I, I had adna test and
I was preaching at a church in 

1008
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,080
Florida. 
I'm from the state of New York. 

1009
01:10:12,480 --> 01:10:16,440
And when I was preaching at this
church, I ended up being in a 

1010
01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:22,480
conversation with somebody that 
apparently also did adna test. 

1011
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,640
And I was related to that person
in that church. 

1012
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:31,640
And it was the craziest thing I 
had ever seen because I'm from a

1013
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:35,440
totally, it's like from Manila 
to Davao, the distance. 

1014
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:39,040
And yet I don't know these 
people at all. 

1015
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:43,520
But you know, I, I'm saying that
only because I think that God 

1016
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:50,040
could bring about supernatural 
understanding to help identify 

1017
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,560
Jewish people. 
But probably because they've 

1018
01:10:53,560 --> 01:11:01,000
married into Pagan culture, 
society, idolatry and all those 

1019
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:04,840
things, it's going to be hard to
tell who is who. 

1020
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:09,320
And yeah, did you have some? 
So there have been some what 

1021
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,680
were considered to be lost 
tribes that have been discovered

1022
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,920
and the reason they were 
discovered is because they were 

1023
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:18,280
retaining some of the Jewish 
traditions within their people. 

1024
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,880
For instance, a group from 
Ethiopia and we actually met 

1025
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:26,040
Ethiopian Jews in Israel and the
way they can prove their 

1026
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:30,240
ancestry, they would be the sons
and daughters of Solomon and 

1027
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,680
Queen of Sheba. 
And the reason they can prove 

1028
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,440
that is because within their 
communities they continue to 

1029
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:40,280
retain certain festivals, 
certain traditions. 

1030
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:44,840
And that's why the traditions 
were given is so that the people

1031
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:49,320
would retain communities. 
So in Jewish culture, it is 

1032
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:54,240
fully understood that if you are
Jewish but you decide to go out,

1033
01:11:54,480 --> 01:11:58,760
go, you're not part of the 
nation of Israel anymore, you 

1034
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,880
can do that. 
But if you're part of the 

1035
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:05,640
community and you continue to be
a part of the community and you 

1036
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,440
move your whole community to 
Ethiopia, we will find you 

1037
01:12:09,440 --> 01:12:13,280
because you're a community. 
So everything is relationally 

1038
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,520
connected in the Jewish 
traditions. 

1039
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:19,920
And This is why Kuya Armin that 
throughout the nations, people 

1040
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,560
would say we worship the God of 
the trees, the God of the sky, 

1041
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:28,520
the God of the, but God calls 
himself not the God of things. 

1042
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:33,000
He calls himself the God of 
Avraham, Yitzhak and Yakov 

1043
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,600
people, individuals who are 
faithful to him. 

1044
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,560
God is very personal. 
So will there be more lost 

1045
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,320
tribes that are found? 
Maybe, maybe not. 

1046
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,520
That's not something I think we 
have to do because God has 

1047
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:49,280
clearly shown he is perfectly 
able to bring all of the Jewish 

1048
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:52,440
people that he needs back in the
land to make a nation. 

1049
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,280
So if there are individual Jews,
I've had discussions with Jews 

1050
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,720
that say I have no desire to 
move to Israel. 

1051
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,680
OK, sure. 
Then you're not an Israeli. 

1052
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,520
You will never be an Israeli 
because you chose not to move to

1053
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:05,720
Israel. 
And that's fine. 

1054
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:07,880
I have no desire to move to 
Israel. 

1055
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,840
We have no desire to move to 
Israel. 

1056
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,640
We'll go there. 
We'll come home, you know, so 

1057
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:15,720
that's OK. 
So the Lost Tribes, I don't 

1058
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,360
think need to be a highlight. 
That's not the most important 

1059
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:20,640
thing. 
You know, we have a nation. 

1060
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,160
We have a people. 
And the fact that Jesus came 

1061
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:27,800
already now they need to be 
found in Christ, even if they 

1062
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:31,920
are Jewish, you know, because 
being Jewish is important and 

1063
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:37,400
valuable as it is being Gentile.
But without Christ, neither one 

1064
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,640
of us are important. 
And in that sense, right? 

1065
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:45,000
Because without Jesus, you, you 
can't go to heaven, you know? 

1066
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:49,200
So it's it's there's a mystery 
side to and I think it's it's 

1067
01:13:49,440 --> 01:13:54,680
cool to search into, but 
ultimately, yeah, this one here.

1068
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,160
So does that help? 
Good. 

1069
01:13:57,440 --> 01:13:58,600
Awesome. 
OK. 

1070
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:02,160
We have another question. 
If God made a covenant to bless 

1071
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:06,160
Abraham's descendant, is 
Ishmael, his first born son, 

1072
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,400
included in that covenant? 
If not, why? 

1073
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:14,480
OK, so Genesis 12 through 17 
gives a a rundown of the 

1074
01:14:14,480 --> 01:14:18,880
covenant and why Yitzhak or 
Isaac is the chosen son. 

1075
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:26,040
God did not turn away Ishmael. 
He actually says to Hagar. 

1076
01:14:26,200 --> 01:14:30,880
He says I've heard you, I hear 
your cry, and I will make a 

1077
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,840
great nation out of you. 
Now if you look at the Arab 

1078
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:39,360
nations, what do they have? 
That is an actual physical 

1079
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:43,640
representation that God kept His
promise to Ishmael and to Hagar 

1080
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:48,880
under the ground they have. 
Oil. 

1081
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:53,000
And it's made them wealthy. 
It's made them billionaires. 

1082
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:58,000
God kept his promise to Ishmael 
also, and he continues to have a

1083
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:01,920
heart for the people of the 
Ishmaelite, so to speak. 

1084
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:04,480
Those Muslims are on the heart 
of God. 

1085
01:15:04,480 --> 01:15:08,840
He will not forget them. 
But the covenant is specifically

1086
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:12,320
God says. 
In fact, Avraham asks God in 

1087
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:17,360
Genesis, he says but can't 
Ishmael just be the one because 

1088
01:15:17,440 --> 01:15:20,080
Yitzhak was not born yet or 
Isaac was not born yet. 

1089
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,000
He said can't Ishmael be the 
one? 

1090
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:26,080
And God says no, your wife 
Sarah, why? 

1091
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:30,520
Because Sarah was the wife. 
She was not a concubine or 

1092
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,600
something else. 
God chose not just Avraham but 

1093
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,000
Sarah. 
She was important in the 

1094
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:38,320
covenant. 
And so he says Nope, I know you 

1095
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:40,240
did it this way, but this is the
way I do it. 

1096
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:43,760
She's the wife and I chose her 
and I have not changed my mind, 

1097
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:48,800
even if she changed her mind. 
So the promise God says to 

1098
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,520
Avraham, Nope, not going to do 
that. 

1099
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,680
The promise will come for 
through Sarah, just like I said,

1100
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,800
what happened, and through her 
son that she will have. 

1101
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,440
But then he says you can go to 
Genesis 12 through 17, He says, 

1102
01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:05,320
but Ishmael will be blessed 
before me and I will make a 

1103
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:07,680
great nation. 
So yes, there's another promise 

1104
01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:10,560
for Ishmael. 
Yes, there's another promise 

1105
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,840
that ultimately if you bless 
those people, you can be blessed

1106
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:18,360
so reach the Muslims. 
But the covenant goes through. 

1107
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:25,080
My question is, I am totally 
like all in favor of Israel 

1108
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,280
blessing their enemies. 
And like you said, like they 

1109
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,920
shouldn't be killing the people 
of Gaza. 

1110
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:35,920
But like when did that change? 
Because God told Joshua to go in

1111
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:40,080
and kill everybody and like 
completely take the land. 

1112
01:16:40,440 --> 01:16:44,640
And now we're saying like we we 
shouldn't be killing them, but 

1113
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:49,600
like, how does that make sense 
of like where God was in the Old

1114
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:52,000
Testament versus where we are 
now? 

1115
01:16:53,440 --> 01:16:55,280
Everything has to do with 
Messiah. 

1116
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,800
So the people of Israel had to 
retain stability and had to 

1117
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:06,400
retain their identity so that 
Messiah would come every bit of 

1118
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:08,920
wiping somebody out. 
And all of that was not because 

1119
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,440
God didn't love those people, 
but those nations were a 

1120
01:17:12,440 --> 01:17:15,920
hindrance to the people of 
Israel from remaining in the 

1121
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,760
covenant. 
And God had to watch over the 

1122
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:24,000
covenant so that you can be 
saved, because Messiah had to 

1123
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:28,280
come to a people who were 
keeping the 10 commandments. 

1124
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,560
If they were not, imagine this 
Jesus. 

1125
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,960
Messiah would have to be born 
into a family that's worshipping

1126
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,280
idols. 
And if that's the case, as a 

1127
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:42,200
child, how could he honor his 
father and mother and worship 

1128
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,120
idols? 
He would be breaking one 

1129
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,440
commandment and fulfilling the 
other. 

1130
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,840
He would either have to honor 
his parents and worship the 

1131
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,680
idols or have to honor God and 
not honor his parents. 

1132
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:56,960
So meaning that there had to be 
an establishment of a clear 

1133
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,960
nation of Israel and that's the 
only reason when Messiah came, 

1134
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:04,400
Jesus said do to others as you 
would have them do to you, even 

1135
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,960
your enemy. 
If they smite smite you on one 

1136
01:18:06,960 --> 01:18:09,240
cheek, turn the other one. 
Why? 

1137
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:13,360
Because Jesus brought to us 
everything God was wanting to 

1138
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,280
have in in all of creation from 
all of time. 

1139
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,000
Jesus is the ultimate answer to 
all of that. 

1140
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:27,960
Jesus also talks about the 
hardness of your hearts is why 

1141
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:32,080
the law was given. 
So if you look in the law, 

1142
01:18:32,080 --> 01:18:36,000
there's a law that says thou 
shall not commit adultery, but 

1143
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:41,120
then Jesus takes it higher. 
Even if you think of a woman or 

1144
01:18:41,120 --> 01:18:44,360
a man to lust after them, you 
commit adultery in your heart. 

1145
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:49,440
So the holy standard was much 
higher and God allowed certain 

1146
01:18:49,440 --> 01:18:53,360
things to happen, like she said 
to for Israel to keep that 

1147
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:57,040
covenant because through that 
covenant would become the 

1148
01:18:57,040 --> 01:19:01,520
redemption for the entire world.
But because the world was so 

1149
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:06,680
wicked, I mean, remember God 
destroyed the whole earth in a 

1150
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:10,440
flood because of the wickedness 
of the world. 

1151
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:14,480
And he said, I don't want to do 
that, but I want to show you 

1152
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:19,720
that this is what I'm capable of
and what I have to do because of

1153
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:24,240
my righteous judgment. 
God wasn't judging us according 

1154
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:27,080
to each other. 
He was judging us according to 

1155
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:31,840
himself. 
So I think in order to hold that

1156
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:36,600
standard of holiness of 
righteousness, it was something 

1157
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:38,760
that could not be attained by 
man. 

1158
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:43,880
No matter how much sacrifice 
Israel gave in the temple, no 

1159
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:48,760
matter how much requirements of 
the law they fulfilled, they 

1160
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,520
would never be able to 
completely erase sin. 

1161
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:58,400
So it was a stain. 
God allowed even like the 

1162
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:04,160
multiple wives that David had. 
It wasn't God's perfect desire, 

1163
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:09,080
but he allowed it. 
He permitted it for that time 

1164
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:12,600
period, you know, but ultimately
now. 

1165
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:18,200
We we clearly know that the 
covenant that we have now, the 

1166
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:23,920
new covenant, is so much more 
clear on what is right and what 

1167
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:28,360
is wrong than it was before. 
You mentioned about idolatry, 

1168
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,280
about God's holiness, and it 
must be established. 

1169
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:37,200
So in the Old Testament survey, 
it was true that there were 

1170
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,240
instructions from the Lord to 
kill them all. 

1171
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,000
Now, it's not like that, 
correct? 

1172
01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:44,920
That's your question. 
OK. 

1173
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:50,720
So if you try to study it, those
specific instructions were 

1174
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:55,880
connected to witchcraft, 
idolatry, because they they were

1175
01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:00,480
so deeply rooted in that. 
And then God wanted them wiped 

1176
01:21:00,480 --> 01:21:03,520
out. 
Now listen, it's not because 

1177
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:08,240
they are not Jewish people that 
wipe them all out. 

1178
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:09,480
Genocide. 
No, no, no, no. 

1179
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:14,640
Remember the, the, the real 
opposing forces is God versus 

1180
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,640
Satan. 
And these people, there are 

1181
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:23,000
people who, who they gave 
themselves under the enemy and, 

1182
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:27,280
and so God says remove them. 
OK, now, now, now here's the 

1183
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,280
thing. 
And then God, of course, now 

1184
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:32,800
it's, it's changed. 
Now I want to give you just one 

1185
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:37,800
example so we can go on. 
Remember Moses, when he got the 

1186
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:42,160
10 commandments, he returned, 
what happened to the people down

1187
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:45,800
while they were waiting? 
They mailed, they made the 

1188
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,720
golden calf, correct? 
And then he was so angry and 

1189
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,040
etcetera. 
And so they, they were divided, 

1190
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:55,240
right? 
So who's on that side and who is

1191
01:21:55,240 --> 01:22:00,400
on our side? 
So they had those people who 

1192
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,200
support idolatry stay on one 
side. 

1193
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:04,600
And then what was the 
instruction? 

1194
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:12,920
Do you remember, ma'am, God said
wipe them out. 

1195
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:20,280
But look at this, these are all 
Jewish people meaning to say my 

1196
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:25,920
point is this, this is my point.
God is a holy God and he's 

1197
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:29,280
jealous with all of these idols.
He hates idols. 

1198
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,440
But now we don't kill idolaters.
Times have changed. 

1199
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,280
We we have mercy. 
Jesus died already. 

1200
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:39,760
We just lead. 
We lead them to the cross, tell 

1201
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:41,840
them the truth and then they 
would repent. 

1202
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,880
But during those times there 
it's different. 

1203
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,320
And so the only solution for 
that. 

1204
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:52,920
No, it's like that. 
And I hope you got the point. 

1205
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:54,960
That makes sense. 
OK. 

1206
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:59,120
Thank you. 
Ezekiel 2311 Say to them, this 

1207
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:03,160
is again Old Testament. 
Say to them, as I live, says the

1208
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:08,360
Lord God, I have no pleasure in 
the death of the wicked, but 

1209
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:13,600
that the wicked turn from his 
way and live turn, turn from 

1210
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:17,800
from your evil ways. 
For why should you die? 

1211
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:26,880
Oh, House of Israel? 
So God, God wants mercy, God 

1212
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:30,160
wants grace. 
God wants, but he also wants 

1213
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:33,920
justice. 
And he cannot be a God of love 

1214
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:38,760
unless he's a God of justice. 
And so God's justice was so 

1215
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:44,880
confusing back then, but yet now
it's very clear as we're able to

1216
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,320
look back and understand how 
wicked man was. 

1217
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:51,320
It wasn't that God was 
confusing, it was that man was 

1218
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:56,160
wicked but good. 
Question on that is what's in it

1219
01:23:56,160 --> 01:24:00,680
for us? 
I think, you know, God told 

1220
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:04,680
Ezekiel, I look for someone to 
stand in the gap, but I found 

1221
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:08,040
nobody. 
So intercession in the church is

1222
01:24:08,040 --> 01:24:12,880
extremely important. 
I'm very convinced that prayer 

1223
01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:18,040
that when churches pray, when 
individuals pray, that it moves 

1224
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:22,320
the heart and the hand of God. 
So when we have a right 

1225
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:28,000
perspective of Israel and we 
pray for them, we're asking God 

1226
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,800
to come and move. 
If you look at the multiple wars

1227
01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:36,960
that Israel's endured, you will 
see the hand of God you you will

1228
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:42,280
see God fighting for them when 
when it looked like they should 

1229
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:49,920
have been completely wiped out. 
But there's so when we pray for 

1230
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:53,480
the peace of Jerusalem, we're 
praying that the Prince of Peace

1231
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:59,200
would establish himself in the 
Jewish people, that they would 

1232
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:03,440
know their Messiah, that they 
would be restored, they would be

1233
01:25:03,440 --> 01:25:05,760
healed, they would be protected,
right? 

1234
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:11,440
So we pray for Israel because 
we're all so blessed when we do 

1235
01:25:11,440 --> 01:25:13,680
so, OK? 
I want you to think about this. 

1236
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,000
There's so many answers to your 
questions. 

1237
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,040
Why do we side? 
Why do we support? 

1238
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:22,680
Why do we pray for Israel? 
OK, One is God used them so we 

1239
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:26,000
can be safe. 
Is that true? 

1240
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,520
Yes. 
OK, but I want to add something.

1241
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,920
I'm going to bring you back to 
the foundation. 

1242
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:35,400
Is that OK? 
The foundation is this. 

1243
01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:40,080
Listen, listen to this. 
Who wants blessings? 

1244
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:45,960
All right, God has a plan. 
The blesser has a plan. 

1245
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:50,760
He's not going to bless you 
unless it goes through somebody.

1246
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:57,960
He's not going to bless the 
Philippines unless the blessings

1247
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,640
will go through course through 
Israel. 

1248
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:05,400
Let me read to you Genesis 12. 
It says verse 2. 

1249
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,960
I will make you referring to 
Israel. 

1250
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:11,200
I will make you into a great 
nation and I will bless you. 

1251
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:16,000
I will make your name great. 
They are known worldwide, right?

1252
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,800
And you will be a blessing. 
Who? 

1253
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:24,440
Israel. 
Almost all the technology today 

1254
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,840
comes from them. 
Hello. 

1255
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:31,320
They are the what we call the 
startup nation. 

1256
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:34,000
Listen to verse three. 
I will bless those who bless 

1257
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:35,520
you. 
OK. 

1258
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,000
Is that enough reason for you to
bless Israel? 

1259
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:41,320
I will bless those who bless 
you. 

1260
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:47,440
And listen to the next part. 
And whoever curses you, I will 

1261
01:26:47,440 --> 01:26:48,720
curse. 
Yeah. 

1262
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,000
Now who wants to curse from God?
Who wants curse? 

1263
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:55,400
No one. 
So is that enough reason for you

1264
01:26:55,400 --> 01:27:00,120
to bless Israel? 
And it says and all peoples on 

1265
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:04,640
earth will be blessed through 
who? 

1266
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,280
Through you. 
If that is not enough, I'm going

1267
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,360
to close with this last verse 
for that question. 

1268
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:18,480
Joel chapter 3123. 
God, OK, look, look at me, look 

1269
01:27:18,480 --> 01:27:20,040
at me. 
Make it simple. 

1270
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:25,640
God is going to judge the 
nations, even us, according to 

1271
01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:30,560
how we treat Israel. 
How do you look at Israel right 

1272
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,160
now? 
Do you, do you have respect? 

1273
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:37,520
Do you have you know, do you, do
you honor God for choosing them,

1274
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:42,800
for loving them? 
Listen, in those days and at the

1275
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:46,280
time when I restored the 
fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

1276
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,720
I will gather all nations and 
bring them down to the Valley of

1277
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:52,880
Jehoshaphat. 
There I will put them on trial 

1278
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:57,880
for what they did to my 
inheritance, my people Israel, 

1279
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:01,320
because they scattered my people
of among the nations and divided

1280
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:06,680
up my land, etcetera, etcetera. 
So the point is the same 

1281
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:10,560
principle. 
You know, every time they want 

1282
01:28:10,560 --> 01:28:13,560
to divide the land of Israel, 
they want to take part of the 

1283
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:20,840
land from Israel, whoever which 
the countries that support for 

1284
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:24,720
dividing the land of Israel, 
they will have a catastrophic, 

1285
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:28,560
you know, tornado, tsunami, 
whatever, OK? 

1286
01:28:29,480 --> 01:28:33,440
It's proven in history in just a
matter of hours, something will 

1287
01:28:33,440 --> 01:28:38,160
happen to those countries. 
So do not join those who are 

1288
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:42,160
against Israel, especially those
who want to divide the land of 

1289
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:43,120
Israel. 
Amen. 

1290
01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,240
It is God himself who said it's 
mine. 

1291
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:50,840
What, what would you say is the 
most blessed nation in the world

1292
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:59,000
financially? 
America, What is the number one 

1293
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:04,280
nation that stands with Israel? 
America, America, look at the 

1294
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:10,000
nations that do not support 
Israel and look at the 

1295
01:29:10,000 --> 01:29:17,400
communism, the socialism, the 
overrun of Islam in Europe right

1296
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:20,280
now. 
Look at the nations surrounding 

1297
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:21,720
Israel. 
They hate Israel. 

1298
01:29:21,720 --> 01:29:26,080
What's happening to them? 
I'm just saying it's very clear 

1299
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:30,920
and it's very obvious what the 
Lord says and how we can see it 

1300
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:34,680
physically before our eyes. 
As a Christian, should we 

1301
01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:38,280
observe or celebrate also the 
celebration that Israel 

1302
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:40,120
observed? 
OK, so the feast. 

1303
01:29:40,480 --> 01:29:42,080
All right. 
Do you want me to answer or you 

1304
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:44,560
got that? 
Yeah, I want you to answer that.

1305
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:49,400
But I wanted to say something 
because I was thinking of this 

1306
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:53,040
at the end of Pastor Armand. 
What he was sharing is that 

1307
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:58,400
blessing Israel doesn't mean you
have to wear to lead, doesn't 

1308
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:03,600
mean you have to have a 
yarmulke, doesn't matter mean 

1309
01:30:03,600 --> 01:30:09,400
when you pray, you know, OK, 
Doesn't mean you have to get 

1310
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:11,960
weird. 
Now, I'm not saying it's wrong, 

1311
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:16,360
OK. 
I, I mean, if you want to wear 

1312
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:20,640
it to leave when you pray, I 
know people who do that that 

1313
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:24,520
aren't Jewish. 
Eric doesn't do that. 

1314
01:30:25,520 --> 01:30:29,360
But it's, it's whatever. 
I, I don't, I don't care. 

1315
01:30:29,360 --> 01:30:33,880
But what I don't want is for us 
as gentiles. 

1316
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:38,800
And this is what I think Paul 
teaches, that you don't have to 

1317
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:44,200
become Jewish, OK? 
Your Messiah has done that for 

1318
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:49,600
you, OK? 
So the external things of trying

1319
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:54,680
to look spiritual are less 
important than what you do in 

1320
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:59,120
your heart before God anyhow, 
practically speaking. 

1321
01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:03,880
Yeah, I think the hyper romance 
with the Jewish traditions is 

1322
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:08,040
just as unsafe as the hyper 
hatred towards them. 

1323
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:12,360
So there is a balance. 
I have seen Filipinos that go so

1324
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:18,040
hyper Israel that they memorize 
things in Hebrew and they chant 

1325
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:21,280
and and things like that, that 
look, we live in the 

1326
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:23,840
Philippines. 
If you want to reach Filipinos, 

1327
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,640
don't chant in Hebrew. 
They don't understand it OK. 

1328
01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:29,040
God speaks Cebuano. 
Are you kidding? 

1329
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:33,520
Yeah, so that's an extreme, but 
then you've got the other 

1330
01:31:33,520 --> 01:31:37,080
extreme, because we're Gentiles,
we don't do anything related to 

1331
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:38,840
Israel. 
There is a balance and there's 

1332
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:43,480
some beauty in understanding 
that everything of the feast has

1333
01:31:43,480 --> 01:31:47,640
a picture of Jesus in it. 
So if you can find those things 

1334
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:50,840
and they're valuable to you, 
then yes, go for it. 

1335
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:54,680
We actually as a family do most 
of the holidays, most of the the

1336
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:58,400
festivals and traditions, but 
sometimes we're traveling and 

1337
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:00,640
sometimes we don't. 
And there's times like, you 

1338
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,760
know, Shabbat, I usually try to 
say Shabbat Shalom, let's bless 

1339
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:07,040
each other in some type of way, 
whatever, you know, But we're 

1340
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:09,800
not so hyper vigilant about 
hyper vigilant meaning, you 

1341
01:32:09,800 --> 01:32:12,200
know, sober on on, you know, 
like too much. 

1342
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:17,280
It's what means something to 
you, what is valuable to your 

1343
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:20,120
growth in the Lord. 
And understanding these things, 

1344
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:22,800
they're in the Bible. 
So understanding them is 

1345
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:24,760
important. 
I think passing them to your 

1346
01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:29,200
children can bring a beauty and 
value to like for instance, 

1347
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,840
there's some people struggle 
with the idea of Christmas, OK, 

1348
01:32:31,840 --> 01:32:38,160
because Jesus was not born on 
December 25th and he never had a

1349
01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:40,000
Christmas tree, just so you 
know. 

1350
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:46,000
But on the other hand, any time 
of the year that brings up Jesus

1351
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:50,640
and they're singing heart, the 
herald angels sing what glory 

1352
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:55,280
Jesus. 
If you're going to sing about 

1353
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:58,200
Jesus in the mall, I'm 
celebrating that holiday. 

1354
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:02,920
I don't care what it is. 
OK, so I'm not a crazy Christmas

1355
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:07,120
person until I realize if Jesus 
is in it, let's do it. 

1356
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:08,680
So that's to me, it's about 
meaning. 

1357
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:12,440
The most meaningful one to most 
Christians is Passover around 

1358
01:33:12,440 --> 01:33:16,000
the time of April, because it's 
very clearly shows from 

1359
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:19,000
beginning to end the story of 
our Messiah and deliverance. 

1360
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,560
That's usually the most 
meaningful. 

1361
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:24,440
So the Feast of Tabernacles is 
the one that's coming up next 

1362
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:29,080
week. 
It will start the 7th. 

1363
01:33:29,360 --> 01:33:32,720
I don't remember exactly. 
Anyways, it goes into the 10th, 

1364
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:35,440
into Davis''s birthday. 
So what we do is you just kind 

1365
01:33:35,440 --> 01:33:39,080
of build like a little structure
outside of your house, and for 

1366
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:42,160
seven days you live in that 
structure outside of your house.

1367
01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:44,360
You eat in it, you drink in it, 
you sleep in it. 

1368
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:47,640
That's your structure. 
And Jews will create these 

1369
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:52,080
structures, beautiful flowers 
and fruits and all. 

1370
01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:56,280
And basically the idea is we 
were once travellers in the 

1371
01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:59,640
wilderness going from, you know,
the people of Israel, right? 

1372
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,920
Looking for the promised land, 
travelling, looking for the 

1373
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:05,760
promised land. 
And we did not have a home. 

1374
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:11,200
And so God became our open sky. 
He became our home, so to speak.

1375
01:34:11,480 --> 01:34:13,480
OK, it starts October 6th, she's
saying. 

1376
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:17,880
So during those seven days, 
you're celebrating the fact that

1377
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,200
no matter where you are, your 
wilderness and your struggle, 

1378
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:24,960
you can look up and say God is 
my shelter and my shield and my 

1379
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:28,160
protection. 
Every Suka they called Suka, 

1380
01:34:28,480 --> 01:34:31,840
suka. 
Every suka, it's called asuka in

1381
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:33,760
Hebrew. 
It's that those buildings, every

1382
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:36,040
building should have openings to
the sky. 

1383
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,840
That is because it's not your 
ultimate shelter. 

1384
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:43,000
Your ultimate shelter is Psalm 
91, verse 1. 

1385
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:48,440
He who dwells in the secret 
place of the Most High will 

1386
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:51,240
abide in the shadow of the 
Almighty. 

1387
01:34:51,400 --> 01:34:54,280
He is our ultimate shelter. 
And that's what the Feast of 

1388
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,400
Tabernacles is about. 
Amen. 

1389
01:34:57,480 --> 01:35:02,960
We have one question here. 
Does God love Adolf Hitler and 

1390
01:35:02,960 --> 01:35:07,960
every other person who wanted 
Israel eradicated or destroyed? 

1391
01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:13,600
Well, I would say simply, of 
course God love Adolf Hitler and

1392
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:17,960
every person who even persecuted
Israel. 

1393
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,160
Why? 
Because He created them in His 

1394
01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:23,320
image. 
They were not an accident. 

1395
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:27,120
God did not create people to 
destroy His people. 

1396
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:34,800
People are programmed by hatred.
They are influenced by other 

1397
01:35:34,800 --> 01:35:37,040
people to believe what they want
to believe. 

1398
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:44,280
Hitler and other people who hate
Israel like we have alive today,

1399
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:48,840
right? 
Those people were trained that 

1400
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:52,080
way. 
So if you that's why the Bible 

1401
01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:55,720
says train up a child and the 
way they should go. 

1402
01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:59,960
So if you don't train them 
properly, not just to know 

1403
01:35:59,960 --> 01:36:04,400
Jesus, but to love Israel, then 
I think they're going to have a 

1404
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:10,480
bad perspective of Israel. 
And so ultimately he was so 

1405
01:36:10,480 --> 01:36:14,960
confused Hitler that he did 
horrible things to Jewish 

1406
01:36:14,960 --> 01:36:21,200
people, but he was created in 
the image of God, as was Judas, 

1407
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:27,640
as was anybody who turned away 
from God in history. 

1408
01:36:28,320 --> 01:36:31,680
OK, do you have to. 
I think it's important to 

1409
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,760
understand that because we got 
to understand that God loves 

1410
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:42,720
everybody, but God's justice is 
also going to be a reality. 

1411
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:47,320
And so just because God loves 
you doesn't mean that he's going

1412
01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:53,080
to allow you and I to do things 
that would be detrimental to our

1413
01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:55,240
lives and to the lives of other 
people. 

1414
01:36:55,680 --> 01:37:00,480
So He will bring justice. 
He's full of love and he's full 

1415
01:37:00,480 --> 01:37:05,960
of justice. 
And he he acts in both 

1416
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:11,440
situations the way he knows is 
best for you and I. 

1417
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:19,400
But he's given us commandments 
to help us to understand that by

1418
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:23,240
loving God first, we're going to
be able to love our neighbor as 

1419
01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:27,040
we love ourself. 
If we hate God, we're going to 

1420
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:30,960
hate our neighbor. 
If we make up a false God, we're

1421
01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:36,600
going to put that into this. 
If we love ourself more than we 

1422
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:40,160
love other people, it's going to
affect others. 

1423
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:41,560
So. 
You know, all these things we're

1424
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,640
talking about are extremely 
important, but if you're going 

1425
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:47,360
through a difficulty or 
struggle, how does this relate 

1426
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:49,760
to me? 
And I want you to understand 

1427
01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:54,640
that the same God who fights for
Israel to keep his promises no 

1428
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:58,840
matter what, that he's faithful 
even when Israel is not 

1429
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:00,600
faithful. 
He's your God. 

1430
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:04,200
He'll answer your prayers. 
He'll follow through for your 

1431
01:38:04,200 --> 01:38:06,920
needs. 
And when you watch God behave 

1432
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:09,680
for Israel, you just go. 
That's my God. 

1433
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:13,000
That's the one I trust. 
Go ahead, David. 

1434
01:38:14,480 --> 01:38:16,840
So this is not actually my 
question. 

1435
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:21,320
The question was in Romans 11, 
verse 25 to 27. 

1436
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:25,200
It says I do not want you to be 
ignorant of this mystery, 

1437
01:38:25,200 --> 01:38:28,240
brothers and sisters, so that 
you may not be consided. 

1438
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:32,080
Israel has experienced a 
hardening in part until the full

1439
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,400
number of the Gentiles has come 
in. 

1440
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:36,720
And in this way all Israel will 
be saved. 

1441
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:39,160
As it is written. 
The Deliverer will come from 

1442
01:38:39,160 --> 01:38:41,440
Zion. 
He will turn godlessness away 

1443
01:38:41,440 --> 01:38:45,240
from Jacob, and this is my 
covenant with them when I take 

1444
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:50,080
away their sins. 
So what he was asking is, is 

1445
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:54,760
this verse saying that Israel 
will literally just their sins 

1446
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:57,360
be taken away from them and they
will just be saved? 

1447
01:38:57,640 --> 01:39:00,920
Do they need to repent or what 
is this saying? 

1448
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:06,440
What does it mean? 
Yeah, there's only one way to be

1449
01:39:06,440 --> 01:39:10,160
saved and it's to put in your 
faith in the finished work of 

1450
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:12,600
Jesus. 
Many times when we're reading 

1451
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:16,280
Scripture, we don't want to read
it as like close up like this. 

1452
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:19,360
We want to read it out like 
this, meaning looking at the 

1453
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:23,440
whole big picture. 
OK, so the big picture is no one

1454
01:39:23,440 --> 01:39:27,160
Jew or Gentile can be saved 
without the finished work of 

1455
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:31,920
Jesus on the cross. 
But the Bible gives us clear 

1456
01:39:32,240 --> 01:39:35,760
promise that the Jewish people 
will recognize the Messiah. 

1457
01:39:35,760 --> 01:39:39,240
Read Zechariah. 
There's a prophecy specifically 

1458
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:45,400
about the Jewish people saying 
Oh no, we were wrong. 

1459
01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:49,880
This Messiah that we thought was
not ours is the one. 

1460
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:54,280
And it says in Zechariah they 
will look on the 1:00 they have 

1461
01:39:54,280 --> 01:39:59,880
pierced, meaning Jesus, and they
will repent and they will mourn 

1462
01:39:59,880 --> 01:40:04,280
for him like 1 mourns for an 
only son. 

1463
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:08,640
So Israel will repent in the 
same way every other person 

1464
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:12,160
repents and they will be saved 
in the same way every other 

1465
01:40:12,160 --> 01:40:15,280
person is saved. 
But we are not told that about 

1466
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:17,160
any other nation, only about 
Israel. 

1467
01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:20,200
We know for sure that Israel 
will be saved. 

1468
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:26,000
I'm going to give the I'll give 
the scriptures what Atticus is 

1469
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:29,520
shared. 
It's in Zechariah chapter 12, 

1470
01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:35,880
verses 10 to 14. 
OK, so they will realize that 

1471
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:40,240
the Jesus that the Gentiles knew
is their Messiah. 

1472
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:45,120
So they will cry on him. 
I mean clan after clan, OK, They

1473
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,600
will mourn. 
OK, meaning to say they will 

1474
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:50,320
repent and receive Jesus. 
Amen. 

1475
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:59,160
We're done. 
Bye now. 

1476
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:01,280
Was this helpful for a lot of 
you today? 

1477
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:02,640
Yeah. 
Good. 

1478
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,600
I'm sure there are more 
questions. 

1479
01:41:05,920 --> 01:41:08,160
OK. 
Don't be afraid to ask 

1480
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:13,520
questions, even if it seems 
like, you know, it's something 

1481
01:41:13,520 --> 01:41:16,800
that's just way out there. 
Seriously, we want you to 

1482
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:19,440
understand Israel. 
It's not going to intimidate us.

1483
01:41:20,440 --> 01:41:26,200
We are very happy to help as 
much as we can and help you to 

1484
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:31,400
understand Israel properly. 
I, I know this that when I 

1485
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:37,840
started to, when I first read 
the Bible, I only read the New 

1486
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,720
Testament because that's what I 
was taught. 

1487
01:41:41,480 --> 01:41:46,120
I, I only read from the book of 
John for a while and I was told 

1488
01:41:46,120 --> 01:41:48,320
just read from this. 
Know who Jesus is. 

1489
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:52,680
You'll get it all. 
But the problem is people were 

1490
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:55,200
trying to build me a building 
without establishing a 

1491
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:58,880
foundation. 
Once I understood the 

1492
01:41:58,880 --> 01:42:03,840
foundation, the purpose of the 
law, the purpose of the 

1493
01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:11,000
prophets, what they were saying,
then understanding who Jesus is 

1494
01:42:11,360 --> 01:42:14,360
took on a whole greater 
revelation. 

1495
01:42:15,400 --> 01:42:19,440
And I want to encourage you that
the better you understand the 

1496
01:42:19,440 --> 01:42:22,800
totality of the word of God. 
I brought this. 

1497
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:27,320
This is my biggest Bible I have.
It's a new King James Version 

1498
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:30,840
right here, OK. 
It is a big Bible. 

1499
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:36,000
It's thick study Bible. 
That's a lot of information 

1500
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:40,040
right there. 
Can I encourage you start from 

1501
01:42:40,040 --> 01:42:45,240
the foundation read through. 
I've been reading the Bible 

1502
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:51,360
through for over 25 years and 
I'm still trying to understand a

1503
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:54,960
lot of it. 
OK, I'm I'm listening to them 

1504
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:58,960
today and the question and I 
love it because it's giving us 

1505
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:02,720
insight. 
The better you understand 

1506
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:05,800
Israel, I'm telling you, the 
better you're going to 

1507
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:13,160
understand the Scriptures Israel
is, if you, if you count how 

1508
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:16,600
many times God uses the name 
Israel. 

1509
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:22,680
I don't know how many it is, but
I'm sure it's hundreds and 

1510
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:29,120
hundreds of times to where it's 
important to understand and be 

1511
01:43:29,120 --> 01:43:34,640
able to dissect what Israel is, 
why God says they're important, 

1512
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:39,480
and who they are for us today. 
So read the scripture, go 

1513
01:43:39,480 --> 01:43:44,240
deeper, ask, listen, you have 
the Holy Spirit, who's your 

1514
01:43:44,240 --> 01:43:48,400
teacher. 
He will teach you all things. 

1515
01:43:48,440 --> 01:43:51,560
I don't get this guy. 
There are times I read the Bible

1516
01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:53,960
and I go, God, this frustrates 
me. 

1517
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:56,120
I don't understand what this 
means. 

1518
01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:59,120
Why? 
What do you mean by that? 

1519
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:03,920
It doesn't make any sense to me.
I will talk like that, not 

1520
01:44:03,920 --> 01:44:07,480
because I'm I'm being rude, but 
because I really want to 

1521
01:44:07,480 --> 01:44:14,000
understand the truth. 
And I promise you, discerning 

1522
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:19,240
Israel properly will help you 
understand who Jesus is, the 

1523
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,240
Scriptures, so much
