Like the Sons of Issachar, Part Two

100:00:00.450 --> 00:00:02.250So the Bible says, buy the truth and200:00:02.250 --> 00:00:02.750sell it not.300:00:02.830 --> 00:00:04.190That means you and your heart have to400:00:04.190 --> 00:00:05.550be hungry for the truth.500:00:06.170 --> 00:00:08.910As human beings, we like comfortable lies.600:00:09.390 --> 00:00:11.210We tell little lies to each other, tell700:00:11.210 --> 00:00:13.390little lies, most dangerous of all, to ourselves.800:00:13.730 --> 00:00:15.590Then we begin telling little lies to God900:00:15.590 --> 00:00:17.650when we compromise and rationalize and we try1000:00:17.650 --> 00:00:19.570to find little loopholes in our relationship with1100:00:19.570 --> 00:00:19.850God.1200:00:19.970 --> 00:00:22.070And then you become deception prone.1300:00:22.430 --> 00:00:24.150The Bible says, buy the truth.1400:00:24.330 --> 00:00:25.830So that should be your heart posture.1500:00:26.330 --> 00:00:28.110Welcome to the CityLight Church

Spirit is already2500:00:50.030 --> 00:00:51.930working in our hearts and minds.2600:00:52.250 --> 00:00:55.130As you listen to today's teaching, remember that2700:00:55.130 --> 00:00:57.690you are deeply loved by God, that you2800:00:57.690 --> 00:01:00.330are surrounded by His grace, and that He2900:01:00.330 --> 00:01:02.210has a real hope and a future for3000:01:02.210 --> 00:01:02.530you.3100:01:06.090 --> 00:01:07.650We just got back from a trip to3200:01:07.650 --> 00:01:08.130Guatemala.3300:01:09.750 --> 00:01:11.030And by just, I mean, you know, last3400:01:11.030 --> 00:01:11.770month we were there.3500:01:13.150 --> 00:01:14.870Like we didn't fly in last night into3600:01:14.870 --> 00:01:15.430JFK.3700:01:15.810 --> 00:01:17.510But it's still fresh in my mind.3800:01:18.610 --> 00:01:20.250And that was like my 10th trip over3900:01:20.250 --> 00:01:22.410there, and we've been there for 17 years.4000:01:23.290 --> 00:01:25.310Put up over 50 buildings there, and I've4100:01:25.310 --> 00:01:27.570really been involved with the McCombs and missions4200:01:27.570 --> 00:01:28.110work there.4300:01:29.130 --> 00:01:31.830And I noticed they're very different from us.4400:01:32.230 --> 00:01:35.790Different in their mentality, different in their whole4500:01:35.790 --> 00:01:39.050ideology, and their whole psychology is just different.4600:01:40.270 --> 00:01:42.250And so I asked Pastor Mike up there,4700:01:42.470 --> 00:01:45.550or down there I should say, what are4800:01:45.550 --> 00:01:46.850the people thinking about?4900:01:47.230 --> 00:01:48.610Like what do they think about?5000:01:49.730 --> 00:01:50.770And he said, oh, that's easy.5100:01:52.210 --> 00:01:52.570Corn.5200:01:54.720 --> 00:01:55.620And I chuckled.5300:01:55.680 --> 00:01:56.920I thought he was kind of messing with5400:01:56.920 --> 00:01:57.100me.5500:01:57.100 --> 00:01:59.760He said, no, they think about corn all5600:01:59.760 --> 00:02:00.320the time.5700:02:02.320 --> 00:02:04.560This is, so you know, this isn't Guatemala5800:02:04.560 --> 00:02:04.960City.5900:02:05.100 --> 00:02:07.199This is eight hours away in the Mayan6000:02:07.199 --> 00:02:08.900Mountains, the remote villages.6100:02:10.560 --> 00:02:13.620Where when we first got there in 2010,6200:02:14.140 --> 00:02:16.080I would take a picture from my digital6300:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.000camera, and the whole village would run around6400:02:19.000 --> 00:02:20.880to see a picture of themselves for the6500:02:20.880 --> 00:02:22.340very first time on the digital camera.6600:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.760Five years later, they got the cheap Chinese6700:02:26.760 --> 00:02:29.380smartphones they got for $6, and they're taking6800:02:29.380 --> 00:02:30.380pictures of me in China.6900:02:30.400 --> 00:02:31.200I've already seen that.7000:02:31.260 --> 00:02:32.080You don't got to show me.7100:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.900I'm glad now you can be a slave7200:02:35.900 --> 00:02:37.260like us to digital stuff.7300:02:38.900 --> 00:02:40.780But they think about corn all the time,7400:02:40.860 --> 00:02:42.540because that's what their whole life and their7500:02:42.540 --> 00:02:44.620whole economy and everything revolves around.7600:02:44.760 --> 00:02:46.260So they think about when the corn is7700:02:46.260 --> 00:02:48.500coming, how to harvest the corn, when to7800:02:48.500 --> 00:02:50.060sell the corn, and it's about corn.7900:02:50.920 --> 00:02:52.840And now that I had that piece of8000:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.140information, I knew how to tailor my message8100:02:56.140 --> 00:03:00.560to be really, really relatable, which was include8200:03:00.560 --> 00:03:01.940a lot of corn analogies.8300:03:03.020 --> 00:03:05.320Which interestingly enough, there are several really good8400:03:05.320 --> 00:03:06.240ones in the Gospels.8500:03:08.770 --> 00:03:11.750But I think about our congregation, y'all8600:03:11.750 --> 00:03:12.930are not thinking about corn.8700:03:14.350 --> 00:03:17.210And here we have quite a diversity.8800:03:17.850 --> 00:03:19.810And I'm not talking about diversity of race8900:03:19.810 --> 00:03:20.390or ethnicity.9000:03:20.390 --> 00:03:24.530I'm talking about diversity of problems, diversity of9100:03:24.530 --> 00:03:29.790ideologies, diversities of where you find yourself in9200:03:29.790 --> 00:03:30.170life.9300:03:31.250 --> 00:03:33.770And so in the natural, it is completely9400:03:33.770 --> 00:03:37.170impossible for me to speak directly to your9500:03:37.170 --> 00:03:39.270heart when so many of you are all9600:03:39.270 --> 00:03:41.110over the spectrum in what you're dealing with9700:03:41.110 --> 00:03:41.950today and tomorrow.9800:03:43.090 --> 00:03:46.150But the person who can meet you is9900:03:46.150 --> 00:03:46.850the Holy Spirit.10000:03:48.350 --> 00:03:51.970I could be talking about apples, and you10100:03:51.970 --> 00:03:53.590really need to hear about bananas.10200:03:54.290 --> 00:03:56.930And I'm talking about apples, but the Holy10300:03:56.930 --> 00:04:01.270Spirit comes to you and, And that's why10400:04:01.270 --> 00:04:02.770I can preach a message and have so10500:04:02.770 --> 00:04:05.070many different people going through various different things.10600:04:05.170 --> 00:04:07.430If you plug in, the Lord will meet10700:04:07.430 --> 00:04:08.770you exactly where you are.10800:04:09.010 --> 00:04:11.170This is supposed to be a supernatural time.10900:04:11.250 --> 00:04:12.530I'm just seeing a lot of new faces.11000:04:12.930 --> 00:04:15.010You did not arrive to a church-based11100:04:15.010 --> 00:04:15.690TED Talk.11200:04:16.470 --> 00:04:18.110I'm not going to dole out some nice11300:04:18.110 --> 00:04:18.709information.11400:04:19.630 --> 00:04:22.490This is about encountering the Holy Spirit, and11500:04:22.490 --> 00:04:23.110he's here.11600:04:24.530 -->

real to them in Jesus' name.12200:04:40.230 --> 00:04:40.630Amen.12300:04:42.030 --> 00:04:42.590Amen.12400:04:42.590 --> 00:04:42.750Amen.12500:04:43.590 --> 00:04:45.570Many of you know my testimony that I12600:04:45.570 --> 00:04:47.970came to faith when I was 16 years12700:04:47.970 --> 00:04:51.410old, and I got baptized and baptized in12800:04:51.410 --> 00:04:54.010the Holy Spirit and got saved.12900:04:54.470 --> 00:04:56.470August 14, 1992.13000:04:57.410 --> 00:04:59.610What I never shared was that a couple13100:04:59.610 --> 00:05:02.990of weeks before that, I wasn't even thinking13200:05:02.990 --> 00:05:04.450about getting saved or church.13300:05:04.630 --> 00:05:05.850Like, how did I end up at that13400:05:05.850 --> 00:05:06.170church?13500:05:07.010 --> 00:05:10.850I was at a house party, which was13600:05:10.850 --> 00:05:13.610really like my second house party, and it13700:05:13.610 --> 00:05:15.730was just as disappointing as the first house13800:05:15.730 --> 00:05:16.090party.13900:05:16.950 --> 00:05:19.650You know, I'm an unsaved guy, no Christianity14000:05:19.650 --> 00:05:21.390in me, and I'm invited to a house14100:05:21.390

people swinging from the light bulbs,14500:05:28.910 --> 00:05:30.530crashing through windows.14600:05:30.790 --> 00:05:31.690House parties are great.14700:05:31.770 --> 00:05:32.970You get to tear up a place, and14800:05:32.970 --> 00:05:33.890it's not even your house.14900:05:33.950 --> 00:05:34.730This is a great deal.15000:05:35.750 --> 00:05:37.010It was so tame.15100:05:38.370 --> 00:05:39.810Anybody else here disappointed?15200:05:40.410 --> 00:05:41.930Don't share your story if you're not.15300:05:42.710 --> 00:05:44.190Like, oh no, I had a great house15400:05:44.190 --> 00:05:45.390party when I was 17.15500:05:46.710 --> 00:05:50.570By the time the fire trucks came, and15600:05:50.570 --> 00:05:53.790I'm at this house party, and the house15700:05:53.790 --> 00:05:58.210party was the young lady that was telling15800:05:58.210 --> 00:05:58.990me about Jesus.15900:05:59.210 --> 00:06:01.330It was in Rego Park, a house on16000:06:01.330 --> 00:06:02.070Weatherill Street.16100:06:04.470 --> 00:06:06.450And I went to lie down on this16200:06:06.450 --> 00:06:08.530couch, really just plop down on the couch,16300:06:08.610 --> 00:06:10.050and as my hands slipped, it slipped between16400:06:10.050 --> 00:06:12.790the cushions, and it touched this little track.16500:06:15.190 --> 00:06:17.490And I opened it, and it's really in16600:06:17.490 --> 00:06:18.810the format of a comic book.16700:06:20.650 --> 00:06:22.410And then about two pages in, I realized,16800:06:22.530 --> 00:06:24.430oh, this is one of those religious tracks.16900:06:25.030 --> 00:06:26.410But it really got me.17000:06:26.790 --> 00:06:28.210And I read the whole thing in about17100:06:28.210 --> 00:06:28.830five minutes.17200:06:30.790 --> 00:06:32.950And even though my 16-year-old mind17300:06:32.950 --> 00:06:38.130was going, what a cheesy, hokey, religious comic17400:06:38.130 --> 00:06:41.730book, illustrated, but there's so much scriptural truth17500:06:41.730 --> 00:06:43.810in here that it pierced my heart.17600:06:45.010 --> 00:06:46.530And that was sometime the end of July.17700:06:47.990 --> 00:06:49.830But I know I went to my friend,17800:06:49.870 --> 00:06:53.230I said, Elena, I can't stop thinking about17900:06:53.230 --> 00:06:53.670this thing.18000:06:53.770 --> 00:06:55.030I want to go to your church.18100:06:55.110 --> 00:06:55.990I want to get baptized.18200:06:56.210 --> 00:06:57.630I want to give my life to Jesus.18300:06:57.630 --> 00:07:00.190And it was two weeks later that I18400:07:00.190 --> 00:07:01.870was in Bed-Stuy at Beulah Church of18500:07:01.870 --> 00:07:03.750God in Christ, giving my life to Jesus,18600:07:03.910 --> 00:07:05.930getting filled with the Holy Spirit, being called18700:07:05.930 --> 00:07:07.570to ministry just a few weeks later.18800:07:09.230 --> 00:07:09.630Amen.18900:07:11.630 --> 00:07:15.210So at first I didn't want to get19000:07:15.210 --> 00:07:17.790this for the church when the church first19100:07:17.790 --> 00:07:18.370started out.19200:07:18.450 --> 00:07:19.950I believe in the power of these things.19300:07:20.610 --> 00:07:23.070But I was 26 and so young and19400:07:23.070 --> 00:07:23.950cool and hip.19500:07:24.830 --> 00:07:26.530I wasn't, but in my head I was.19600:07:28.150 --> 00:07:29.550I mean, I thought I was because my19700:07:29.550 --> 00:07:30.650mommy told me I was.19800:07:34.250 --> 00:07:35.890My mommy told me I was the coolest,19900:07:35.990 --> 00:07:36.750most handsomest.20000:07:37.110 --> 00:07:38.130She wouldn't lie to me.20100:07:40.250 --> 00:07:42.030I'm just wondering if my son is chuckling.20200:07:48.200 --> 00:07:49.540So, you know, I'm trying to have like20300:07:49.540 --> 00:07:51.400a contemporary church and I'm going, I can't20400:07:51.400 --> 00:07:53.240use these tracks from the 80s.20500:07:53.520 --> 00:07:55.680In 2002, I'm like, it's just an old20600:07:55.680 --> 00:07:56.400hokey track.20700:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.060But now it's 2026.20800:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.060Now when you use a 40-year-old20900:08:02.060 --> 00:08:04.480piece of material, it's not old and hokey,21000:08:04.820 --> 00:08:05.780it's classical.21100:08:07.640 --> 00:08:09.220It's ironically hip.21200:08:10.760

the Bible highlights these Sons of Issachar27400:10:43.880 --> 00:10:45.820and it says they had wisdom, they had27500:10:45.820 --> 00:10:46.520discernment.27600:10:46.860 --> 00:10:48.720They knew how to read between the lines27700:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.320and they knew understand what God was doing27800:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.340and what they should do in response.27900:10:58.030 --> 00:10:59.610A great quality to have.28000:11:00.690 --> 00:11:02.790Because most people don't know.28100:11:03.910 --> 00:11:06.550Most people go to a thought leader or28200:11:06.550 --> 00:11:08.630social media or the news and they go,28300:11:08.750 --> 00:11:10.570tell me how to feel about what's happening28400:11:10.570 --> 00:11:11.090right now.28500:11:12.170 --> 00:11:14.390Israel at this time was finding itself in28600:11:14.390 --> 00:11:15.410a tumultuous place.28700:11:15.750 --> 00:11:18.190Saul had just come down, King David was28800:11:18.190 --> 00:11:18.750coming up.28900:11:19.030 --> 00:11:20.910They were in a transitional phase.29000:11:20.910 --> 00:11:23.310But the Sons of Issachar knew what was29100:11:23.310 --> 00:11:24.710really going on behind the scenes.29200:11:24.930 --> 00:11:26.290They knew what God was trying to do.29300:11:26.710 --> 00:11:28.230They knew not to go against what God29400:11:28.230 --> 00:11:30.550was trying to do but undergird and help29500:11:30.550 --> 00:11:31.670the move of God.29600:11:31.890 --> 00:11:32.150Amen.29700:11:33.190 --> 00:11:35.150So we all want to be like the29800:11:35.150 --> 00:11:35.970Sons of Issachar.29900:11:36.070 --> 00:11:38.930In other words, we want to be wide30000:11:38.930 --> 00:11:40.270opened and alert.30100:11:41.450 --> 00:11:43.630And we want to know what's really happening.30200:11:44.590 --> 00:11:49.030And that is especially difficult today because we're30300:11:49.030 --> 00:11:50.570being lied to all the time.30400:11:51.910 --> 00:11:54.830If you're here and you don't know that30500:11:54.830 --> 00:11:58.590the media absolutely hates you, you're going to30600:11:58.590 --> 00:11:59.890have a hard time with this message.30700:12:00.850 --> 00:12:02.350It used to be that old joke, how30800:12:02.350 --> 00:12:03.830do you know a lawyer is lying?30900:12:03.910 --> 00:12:04.630His lips are moving.31000:12:06.350 --> 00:12:12.440Lawyers now may be going to say, not31100:12:12.440 --> 00:12:14.200our pastoral Christian lawyers.31200:12:17.740 --> 00:12:19.760Not our holy ghost lawyers.31300:12:22.480 --> 00:12:24.860But really it should be, how do you31400:12:24.860 --> 00:12:26.460know if a media person is lying?31500:12:27.140 --> 00:12:28.080Their lips are moving.31600:12:29.500 --> 00:12:30.920I mean, they always lied when I was31700:12:30.920 --> 00:12:33.740a kid except the lies now are on31800:12:33.740 --> 00:12:34.160steroids.31900:12:35.420 --> 00:12:36.940Now, before they were at least, they put32000:12:36.940 --> 00:12:38.080some effort into the lies.32100:12:38.180 --> 00:12:40.240Now they'll just lie with no effort.32200:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.000You know, there was two Muslims that bombed32300:12:44.700 --> 00:12:46.600by Gracie Mansion last week.32400:12:46.860 --> 00:12:49.100Do you know what the headlines were

factory?33200:13:04.740 --> 00:13:07.060What got into these two?33300:13:07.180 --> 00:13:08.620But you know, you're lying.33400:13:09.640 --> 00:13:11.560Why are you presenting it right from the33500:13:11.560 --> 00:13:12.760gate it's so false?33600:13:13.380 --> 00:13:14.980I'm going to scratch under the surface and33700:13:14.980 --> 00:13:15.480realize, oh.33800:13:16.600 --> 00:13:17.880There was even more that they put.33900:13:17.980 --> 00:13:19.680You could not believe how many lies were34000:13:19.680 --> 00:13:21.820packed into just the headline let alone when34100:13:21.820 --> 00:13:23.060you get then into the body of the34200:13:23.060 --> 00:13:23.360article.34300:13:24.620 --> 00:13:27.480So, we have to trust the Lord to34400:13:27.480 --> 00:13:29.160open our eyes and you have to ask34500:13:29.160 --> 00:13:30.760God, keep me away from deception.34600:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.200If you're not humble enough to say, Lord,34700:13:34.300 --> 00:13:36.620keep me from deception, you will be deceived.34800:13:36.980 --> 00:13:38.700Some of you, you may be deceived right34900:13:38.700 --> 00:13:40.760now and you don't even know it

00:13:44.060it.35300:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.000It's like bad breath.35400:13:47.100 --> 00:13:48.580You're the last to know you have it.35500:13:50.480 --> 00:13:51.180I'm deceived.35600:13:51.300 --> 00:13:52.900You only find out when you get delivered.35700:13:53.040 --> 00:13:54.660Oh, when you come out of the matrix,35800:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.620the things pop out of you and you35900:13:56.620 --> 00:13:59.100go, oh, that was all a lie.36000:14:01.620 --> 00:14:03.880So, the Bible says, buy the truth and36100:14:03.880 --> 00:14:04.380sell it not.36200:14:04.440 --> 00:14:05.820That means you and your heart have to36300:14:05.820 --> 00:14:07.140be hungry for the truth.36400:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.860As human beings, we like comfortable lies.36500:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.840We tell little lies to each other, tell36600:14:12.840 --> 00:14:14.420little lies, the most dangerous of all, to36700:14:14.420 --> 00:14:15.000ourselves.36800:14:15.340 --> 00:14:17.220Then we begin telling little lies to God36900:14:17.220 --> 00:14:19.300when we compromise and rationalize and we try37000:14:19.300 --> 00:14:21.180to find little loopholes in our relationship with37100:14:21.180 --> 00:14:21.480God.37200:14:22.260 --> 00:14:24.960The deceit then comes layer upon layer and37300:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.880then you become deception prone.37400:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.920The Bible says, buy the truth, prize the37500:14:31.920 --> 00:14:32.280truth.37600:14:33.500 --> 00:14:35.580Make it your great quest and then sell37700:14:35.580 --> 00:14:35.980it not.37800:14:36.400 --> 00:14:38.020So, that should be your heart posture.37900:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.120Don't ever think, I'm so smart, I know38000:14:40.120

00:14:48.360So, we got to be like the sons38400:14:48.360 --> 00:14:48.880of Issachar.38500:14:48.920 --> 00:14:51.360Here's Jesus in Matthew, I believe.38600:14:51.520 --> 00:14:53.580He rebuked

moving.42900:16:18.160 --> 00:16:19.800And for that, you have to now be43000:16:19.800 --> 00:16:21.420more clever than ever before.43100:16:21.520 --> 00:16:21.760Why?43200:16:22.040 --> 00:16:24.080Because you can't pop on the news.43300:16:24.580 --> 00:16:29.860If you're still popping on MSNBC, CNN, and43400:16:29.860 --> 00:16:32.920yes, Fox News, if you're popping that on43500:16:32.920 --> 00:16:34.940and just letting the cable news wash over43600:16:34.940 --> 00:16:36.940you, you're going to be deceived.43700:16:38.360 --> 00:16:39.540But that's easy.43800:16:39.540 --> 00:16:41.580That's how we used to get our news43900:16:41.580 --> 00:16:43.280back many decades ago.44000:16:43.840 --> 00:16:45.540Now you've got to be like a detective.44100:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.020You've got to get news from all over44200:16:48.020 --> 00:16:51.320the place, piece it together, see how it44300:16:51.320 --> 00:16:51.680all records.44400:16:53.520 --> 00:16:55.520It's sad to say, but you almost have44500:16:55.520 --> 00:16:58.060to become those conspiracy theorists where they come44600:16:58.060 --> 00:16:59.280in and they've got the charts on the44700:16:59.280 --> 00:17:01.700walls and everything and the different strings.44800:17:02.560 --> 00:17:04.599Ah, there was a second shooter in the44900:17:04.599 --> 00:17:05.200grassy knoll.45000:17:05.819 --> 00:17:06.700Maybe not.45100:17:08.900 --> 00:17:10.839I'm exaggerating, but you get my point.45200:17:11.599 --> 00:17:14.040But a little bit of detective work is45300:17:14.040 --> 00:17:14.760worth it.45400:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.500Otherwise, you just become another mindless drone who45500:17:18.500 --> 00:17:20.359gets your information from memes.45600:17:20.660 --> 00:17:22.160The algo's got you figured out.45700:17:22.359 --> 00:17:23.780It knows what's going to get you most45800:17:23.780 --> 00:17:24.260emotional.45900:17:24.420 --> 00:17:24.700Why?46000:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.260Because when you're emotional, you keep doom scrolling.46100:17:27.600 --> 00:17:29.620When you're emotional, you keep flinking whether you're46200:17:29.620 --> 00:17:31.980happy emotional, whether you're angry emotional.46300:17:33.020 --> 00:17:34.580If it realizes it sent you too many46400:17:34.580 --> 00:17:36.400angry emotional memes, you ever wonder why then46500:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.600you get the random animal meme?46600:17:37.960 --> 00:17:38.940To make you happy.46700:17:39.880 --> 00:17:41.000You're like, look at all this.46800:17:41.180 --> 00:17:42.200The world is falling apart.46900:17:42.460 --> 00:17:43.760Oh, a little girl playing with a kitten.47000:17:44.300 --> 00:17:46.280Just to make you happy, send that dopamine47100:17:46.280 --> 00:17:48.360in, then go again, getting you mad, getting47200:17:48.360 --> 00:17:48.680you mad.47300:17:49.140 --> 00:17:51.520If that's how you're getting your news, you're47400:17:51.520 --> 00:17:52.360going to get deceived.47500:17:52.800 --> 00:17:53.800You've got to do a little bit of47600:17:53.800 --> 00:17:54.180work.47700:17:54.180 --> 00:17:57.180And it's important to know what's happening because47800:17:57.180 --> 00:18:01.060it affects our lives, especially here in New47900:18:01.060 --> 00:18:01.540York City.48000:18:02.980 --> 00:18:04.800So one of the things we talked about48100:18:04.800 --> 00:18:05.960was globalism.48200:18:06.900 --> 00:18:08.420Globalism is not of God.48300:18:10.040 --> 00:18:12.180Globalism is a satanic agenda.48400:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.600You see that throughout the scriptures.48500:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.640We saw the scripture in Acts 17 where48600:18:16.640 --> 00:18:18.720God set up the boundaries around nations.48700:18:19.480 --> 00:18:21.020God wants nations.48800:18:23.950 --> 00:18:26.210When they were all trying to get unified48900:18:26.210 --> 00:18:29.310apart from God back at the Tower of49000:18:29.310 --> 00:18:32.810Babel, God stopped it, separated their languages and49100:18:32.810 --> 00:18:34.050scattered them around the earth.49200:18:34.710 --> 00:18:37.330The only kind of unity that can truly49300:18:37.330 --> 00:18:40.650come is through Jesus, not man's efforts at49400:18:40.650 --> 00:18:41.510becoming one.49500:18:43.580 --> 00:18:45.420It talks about the AntiChrist and how he49600:18:45.420 --> 00:18:46.520rules the whole world.49700:18:46.600 --> 00:18:47.940How does he rule the whole world?49800:18:48.220 --> 00:18:49.240Through globalism.49900:18:49.580 --> 00:18:50.860And that's where it's heading.50000:18:50.860 --> 00:18:53.520I even talked about Bad Bunny.50100:18:53.620 --> 00:18:54.400Now we have new people.50200:18:54.580 --> 00:18:59.240Is it because he sang only in Spanish?50300:18:59.380 --> 00:18:59.720No.50400:19:01.980 --> 00:19:04.540Is it because he had those promiscuous dancers?50500:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.500No.50600:19:06.520 --> 00:19:08.440Those first two things are problematic, but that's50700:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.340not my beef.50800:19:10.540 --> 00:19:13.760My beef is that he said, God bless50900:19:13.760 --> 00:19:14.420America.51000:19:15.120 --> 00:19:17.180Who has the slogan, God bless America?51100:19:18.100 --> 00:19:20.760We have every Latin American country here.51200:19:20.820 --> 00:19:21.040Chile.51300:19:21.760 --> 00:19:23.500Do you have God bless America, even though51400:19:23.500 --> 00:19:24.500you're in South America?51500:19:25.040 --> 00:19:25.240No.51600:19:26.060 --> 00:19:26.500Guatemala.51700:19:26.620 --> 00:19:28.160Do you have God bless America, even though51800:19:28.160 --> 00:19:29.000you're in Central America?51900:19:29.200 --> 00:19:29.400No.52000:19:30.000 --> 00:19:31.920God bless America is a United States slogan.52100:19:32.220 --> 00:19:33.720So he says, God bless America.52200:19:33.940 --> 00:19:36.600And then he lists every single nation in52300:19:36.600 --> 00:19:37.740Central and Latin America.52400:19:38.920 --> 00:19:40.180So what's the big deal?52500:19:40.320 --> 00:19:42.420He paused.52600:19:43.080 --> 00:19:45.740He's communicating what's already been defined and what's52700:19:45.740 --> 00:19:48.200trying to get propagated, a Pan-American agenda,52800:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.140where the entire Western Hemisphere becomes one nation.52900:19:52.600 --> 00:19:56.060God bless America at the United States' number53000:19:56.060 --> 00:20:00.020one sporting event, a sporting event created by53100:20:00.020 --> 00:20:02.240the United States on the premier platform.53200:20:02.800 --> 00:20:04.520And then he says this, which if you53300:20:04.520 --> 00:20:08.080know what's up, it horrifies you, but you're53400:20:08.080 --> 00:20:09.900not allowed to act horrified because he's singing53500:20:09.900 --> 00:20:10.360and dancing.53600:20:10.360 --> 00:20:12.280There's a big sign behind him that says,53700:20:12.740 --> 00:20:16.200the only thing that can overcome hate is53800:20:16.200 --> 00:20:16.560love.53900:20:17.500 --> 00:20:19.340And when I saw that sign, I thought,54000:20:19.420 --> 00:20:20.800I'm sorry, I had all the bad thoughts54100:20:20.800 --> 00:20:21.480I just

theory.55900:21:05.120 --> 00:21:07.900You find where critical theory comes from.56000:21:08.240 --> 00:21:10.100It is from the doctrine of Marxism.56100:21:10.500 --> 00:21:11.820If you're hearing this for the first time56200:21:11.820 --> 00:21:14.360and you don't understand that our country is56300:21:14.360 --> 00:21:19.580under attack by Marxist ideologies that have, by56400:21:19.580 -->

capitalism, is it perfect?64300:24:24.950 --> 00:24:25.170No.64400:24:25.170 --> 00:24:26.390When are you going to have perfect?64500:24:26.470 --> 00:24:27.250When you get to heaven.64600:24:27.390 --> 00:24:29.430I'm sure Christ has a governmental system that's64700:24:29.430 --> 00:24:29.710muah.64800:24:30.270 --> 00:24:33.430But right now, capitalism has lifted more people64900:24:33.430 --> 00:24:37.450out of poverty, out of illiteracy, by every65000:24:37.450 --> 00:24:39.690single metric that makes a first world nation65100:24:39.690 --> 00:24:40.550a first world nation.65200:24:40.810 --> 00:24:42.690Electricity that doesn't go out for six hours65300:24:42.690 --> 00:24:43.010a day.65400:24:43.710 --> 00:24:44.970Capitalism has done that.65500:24:45.430 --> 00:24:46.790Not the other isms.65600:24:48.030 --> 00:24:48.310Amen.65700:24:50.700 --> 00:24:52.760So I haven't even started today's message yet.65800:24:53.620 --> 00:24:54.900I'm just doing the recap.65900:24:55.900 --> 00:24:57.600Or maybe I saved the best recap for66000:24:57.600 --> 00:25:01.900last, because it was globalism, and then it66100:25:01.900 --> 00:25:04.400was racism, and then it was feminism.66200:25:06.380 --> 00:25:07.860There's a lot of these isms to go66300:25:07.860 --> 00:25:09.320through, but feminism landed third.66400:25:13.000 --> 00:25:14.460Don't look at me so harshly.66500:25:15.480 --> 00:25:16.280I said feminism.66600:25:19.460 --> 00:25:22.960I feel like we're about to have a66700:25:22.960 --> 00:25:23.160duel.66800:25:29.720 --> 00:25:31.420I'm going to skip the whole recap on66900:25:31.420 --> 00:25:31.880feminism.67000:25:33.540 --> 00:25:35.080I'm just going to tell you right now67100:25:35.080 --> 00:25:36.540that it's not working.67200:25:38.180 --> 00:25:40.800That statistically speaking, women right now, these are67300:25:40.800 --> 00:25:44.340stats, right now they're more depressed, more anxious,67400:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.940more unmarried, and more frustrated than any other67500:25:46.940 --> 00:25:47.700time in history.67600:25:49.800 --> 00:25:52.540And when I say feminism, I'm not talking67700:25:52.540 --> 00:25:55.600about the first line of feminism, which is67800:25:55.600 --> 00:25:57.540equal pay for equal work.67900:25:57.840 --> 00:25:58.740We're all for that.68000:25:59.120 --> 00:26:01.740I'm not talking about valuing a woman as68100:26:01.740 --> 00:26:02.480much as a man.68200:26:02.940 --> 00:26:04.380We're all for that.68300:26:04.980 --> 00:26:08.020We're talking about the brainwashing and propaganda that68400:26:08.020 --> 00:26:11.000has now resulted in women hating men and68500:26:11.000 --> 00:26:11.960men hating women.68600:26:12.700 --> 00:26:14.920And them not rushing to get married at68700:26:14.920 --> 00:26:16.540all, and birth rates plummeting.68800:26:16.820 --> 00:26:17.680That's a problem.68900:26:18.760 --> 00:26:20.400And that started with feminism.69000:26:20.400 --> 00:26:22.920You know what, I pastored in the East69100:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.580Village when a show that's literally Ruin Nations69200:26:26.580 --> 00:26:27.240came

people are getting divorced all70600:26:57.240 --> 00:26:57.700the time.70700:26:57.720 --> 00:26:59.300And I asked, what was the difference?70800:26:59.340 --> 00:26:59.960You know what they

All77700:29:58.280 --> 00:29:58.980right, I'll just start.77800:30:02.540 --> 00:30:05.740Let me start by saying that I quickly77900:30:05.740 --> 00:30:10.600found out after October 7 that if I...78000:30:10.600 --> 00:30:11.960Oh, let me just also say this.78100:30:12.060 --> 00:30:13.700I was raised in Forest Hills, Queens.78200:30:14.940 --> 00:30:15.980I don't even know what that means.78300:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.020That means I am always, at any given78400:30:19.020 --> 00:30:22.000point, half a step away from...78500:30:22.940 --> 00:30:25.160Hey, hey, hey,

up?78900:30:31.300 --> 00:30:32.400Roslyn, Long Island.79000:30:33.060 --> 00:30:34.980So all of my current friends that I79100:30:34.980 --> 00:30:37.600actually like, that I actually enjoy, are all79200:30:37.600 --> 00:30:38.020Jewish.79300:30:39.020 --> 00:30:41.580But I found out that if I even79400:30:41.580 --> 00:30:45.180say, huh, I don't know about what Netanyahu's79500:30:45.180 --> 00:30:46.160doing over there.79600:30:46.200 --> 00:30:46.540I'm not sure.79700:30:46.540 --> 00:30:48.080Are you an anti-Semite?79800:30:49.260 --> 00:30:51.640Why, no, I'm just questioning what the state79900:30:51.640 --> 00:30:53.080of Israel and the government...80000:30:53.080 --> 00:30:54.360That sounds anti-Semitic.80100:30:54.720 --> 00:30:57.300Wait a second, you mean I can't question80200:30:57.300 --> 00:31:00.680anything that Israel is doing because now I'm80300:31:00.680 --> 00:31:01.620an anti-Semite?80400:31:02.520 --> 00:31:04.060I would love to have that kind of80500:31:04.060 --> 00:31:04.440privilege.80600:31:04.900 --> 00:31:06.980Talk about white privilege, this kind of privilege.80700:31:07.060 --> 00:31:09.140I'd love to have Jewish privilege, where if80800:31:09.140 --> 00:31:10.660you ever point your finger at me, I80900:31:10.660 --> 00:31:11.860just go, anti-Semite!81000:31:11.860 --> 00:31:13.320And you're like, no, I don't want to81100:31:13.320 --> 00:31:14.360be debanked!81200:31:21.450 --> 00:31:23.710I think it's healthy to be able to81300:31:23.710 --> 00:31:25.110talk about some of these things.81400:31:25.510 --> 00:31:27.810As cringy as it gets, just hang on,81500:31:28.250 --> 00:31:29.890inhale real deep, sip some water.81600:31:30.830 --> 00:31:32.630But if we're going to be people who81700:31:32.630 --> 00:31:35.010have an understanding of the times, we need81800:31:35.010 --> 00:31:37.410to know scripturally what our stance should be.81900:31:37.470 --> 00:31:41.110Because right now, most people, they're so battered,82000:31:41.150 --> 00:31:42.930they're not even realizing the severity of the82100:31:42.930 --> 00:31:43.450situation.82200:31:43.930 --> 00:31:46.190We are at war with Iran.82300:31:47.450 --> 00:31:48.550That's a big deal.82400:31:49.570 --> 00:31:52.710I grew up in the 80s, my parents82500:31:52.710 --> 00:31:54.890weren't saved, but they had these weird, like82600:31:54.890 --> 00:31:56.830they had the Mayan calendar, then they had82700:31:56.830 --> 00:31:58.790these New Age books, and then they had82800:31:58.790 --> 00:32:01.670this book next to it that said, Israel,82900:32:01.870 --> 00:32:03.910America, and Iran in the End Times.83000:32:04.350 --> 00:32:06.070That's the title of the book that was83100:32:06.070 --> 00:32:06.930out in 1985.83200:32:07.350 --> 00:32:09.290I can still see it in my closet.83300:32:10.450 --> 00:32:11.890This is an important time.83400:32:12.710 --> 00:32:15.870And we're being told, most Christians, this is83500:32:15.870 --> 00:32:18.750how most Christians are, they do not separate83600:32:18.750 --> 00:32:21.970the modern state of Israel and the modern83700:32:21.970 --> 00:32:24.990government of Israel from ancient Israel.83800:32:25.650 --> 00:32:28.290They think that if they support Netanyahu and83900:32:28.290 --> 00:32:31.350the crew, they're like cheering on David.84000:32:33.800 --> 00:32:36.380They're cheering on, it's like the same person.84100:32:36.540 --> 00:32:37.180It's not.84200:32:37.480 --> 00:32:40.480Just because they have the same name doesn't84300:32:40.480 --> 00:32:41.620make you the same person.84400:32:42.420 --> 00:32:44.440Like my plumber, his name is Jesus.84500:32:46.720 --> 00:32:48.080I love my plumber.84600:32:48.340 --> 00:32:49.060He's honest.84700:32:49.320 --> 00:32:50.100Isn't he great, babe?84800:32:50.340 --> 00:32:52.460He's always smiling, always with a spring in84900:32:52.460 --> 00:32:54.620his step, looks you in the eyes, great.85000:32:54.800 --> 00:32:56.500By the way, if you're in Nassau County,85100:32:56.900 --> 00:32:57.700Jesus is your boy.85200:32:59.480 --> 00:33:01.660But when Jesus comes into my house, I85300:33:01.660 --> 00:33:03.300don't fall prostrate and worship him.85400:33:03.900 --> 00:33:05.320That's for another Jesus.85500:33:06.580 --> 00:33:09.080So it's wisdom to understand, oh, you got85600:33:10.000 --> 00:33:13.080maker of heaven and earth, God Almighty, Jesus,85700:33:13.840 --> 00:33:16.340and you got Jesus, my awesome, competent plumber.85800:33:17.480 --> 00:33:19.960Now what if my plumber started to behave85900:33:19.960 --> 00:33:23.360like he was the Son of God, Jesus,86000:33:24.240 --> 00:33:26.480and he started to demand worship, and I86100:33:26.480 --> 00:33:28.760would go, brother, I love your plumbing work,86200:33:29.380 --> 00:33:31.680but the mental asylum is close by, you86300:33:31.680 --> 00:33:32.700need to get yourself there.86400:33:32.700 --> 00:33:34.200If you can, I'll take you there myself.86500:33:36.040 --> 00:33:38.620So when you support Israel, because this is86600:33:38.620 --> 00:33:40.600how Christians think right now, this is how86700:33:40.600 --> 00:33:45.080they've been brainwashed, to support whatever Israel wants86800:33:45.080 --> 00:33:49.760is what Israel gets, lest we somehow curse86900:33:49.760 --> 00:33:51.580Abraham, and you've seen this now.87000:33:52.140 --> 00:33:53.000Have you seen this stuff?87100:33:53.080 --> 00:33:54.440Am I just talking to people who just87200:33:54.440 --> 00:33:55.180only read the Bible?87300:33:55.180 --> 00:33:55.980Just want to make sure.87400:33:56.920 --> 00:34:00.300I'm sure you've seen senator after senator, usually87500:34:00.300 --> 00:34:03.240Christian, usually with just enough of an understanding87600:34:03.240 --> 00:34:05.180of the scriptures to be very, very dangerous,87700:34:05.460 --> 00:34:07.600not a deep understanding, but just enough of87800:34:07.600 --> 00:34:10.100an understanding to be dangerous, and they love87900:34:10.100 --> 00:34:10.920Genesis 12.88000:34:12.199 --> 00:34:14.320They love where God says to Abraham, I88100:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.040will bless those who bless you and curse88200:34:16.040 --> 00:34:17.739those who curse you, and they go, we88300:34:17.739 --> 00:34:20.320just have to support whatever Israel does, lest88400:34:20.320 --> 00:34:21.179we be cursed.88500:34:22.940 --> 00:34:24.840So Netanyahu wants to set a hospital on88600:34:24.840 --> 00:34:27.820fire, we just bless that in Jesus' name.88700:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.340Do you understand how sick that sounds?88800:34:33.449 --> 00:34:36.050So do not allow anyone to manipulate you.88900:34:36.770 --> 00:34:39.130There's pastors out there with nice bright smiles89000:34:39.130 --> 00:34:41.230and two flags, each with a Star of89100:34:41.230 --> 00:34:41.870David on them.89200:34:44.250 --> 00:34:46.449The Star of David, people think that David89300:34:46.449 --> 00:34:48.170went to sleep in like Star of David89400:34:48.170 --> 00:34:51.810pajamas, and that Star of David has nothing89500:34:51.810 --> 00:34:52.429to do with David.89600:34:52.570 --> 00:34:55.590It was actually invented in the 800s, over89700:34:55.590 --> 00:34:57.5501,500 years from when David lived.89800:34:58.630 --> 00:35:00.250But it's called the Star of David to89900:35:00.250 --> 00:35:01.730invoke a certain sentimentality.90000:35:04.010 --> 00:35:07.130If the Apostle Paul came today and visited90100:35:07.130 --> 00:35:09.590temples and synagogues, you know what he would90200:35:09.590 --> 00:35:09.830say?90300:35:09.990 --> 00:35:11.670And the Apostle Paul is a Pharisee, a90400:35:11.670 --> 00:35:12.510doctor of the law.90500:35:13.150 --> 00:35:15.250He would say, what kind of a strange90600:35:15.250 --> 00:35:17.610pagan religion is this?90700:35:18.350 --> 00:35:20.250This is unrecognizable.90800:35:21.570 --> 00:35:25.710In order to have biblical Judaism, you need90900:35:25.710 --> 00:35:26.610two things.91000:35:26.670 --> 00:35:27.530You need a temple.91100:35:28.090 --> 00:35:28.990There isn't one.91200:35:29.110 --> 00:35:30.210Why do you need a temple though?91300:35:30.410 --> 00:35:33.870Because that's where the sacrificial system was performed.91400:35:34.190 --> 00:35:36.050The sacrificial system, by the way, that all91500:35:36.050 --> 00:35:38.210pointed to Jesus and was fulfilled in Christ.91600:35:38.950 --> 00:35:41.250That's why Christ cut it off after His91700:35:41.250 --> 00:35:41.730resurrection.91800:35:43.130 --> 00:35:44.830But you don't have a temple and you91900:35:44.830 --> 00:35:46.650don't have a sacrificial system, so you don't92000:35:46.650 --> 00:35:51.110have biblical Judaism, you have something that's changed92100:35:51.110 --> 00:35:53.290so much and now it's Talmudic Judaism.92200:35:54.690 --> 00:35:56.870A far cry from biblical Judaism.92300:35:57.210 --> 00:35:58.530Why is this important and what does this92400:35:58.530 --> 00:36:00.270have to do with the problem you're facing92500:36:00.270 --> 00:36:00.670Wednesday?92600:36:04.360 --> 00:36:07.180Well, with the problem you're facing Wednesday, nothing92700:36:07.180 --> 00:36:07.560really.92800:36:09.240 --> 00:36:11.480But sometimes when you get a good dose92900:36:11.480 --> 00:36:14.140of Scripture, a good dose of Holy Ghost93000:36:14.140 --> 00:36:16.340anointed truth, it can snap you.93100:36:17.800 --> 00:36:19.100That's what I pray happens to you.93200:36:20.120 --> 00:36:21.640But I don't want my people deceived.93300:36:24.100 --> 00:36:26.060And now there's entire Christians who are cheering93400:36:26.060 --> 00:36:27.040on the war in Iran.93500:36:27.120 --> 00:36:29.300Imagine being a Christian cheering on any war93600:36:29.300 --> 00:36:31.620where we're not explicitly defending ourselves.93700:36:31.920 --> 00:36:33.380The only war I will cheer on is93800:36:33.380 --> 00:36:34.980if there's enemy boots on the ground here93900:36:34.980 --> 00:36:36.740and they're coming to take us away and94000:36:36.740 --> 00:36:38.560then we go to war as complete self94100:36:38.560 --> 00:36:38.960-defense.94200:36:39.540 --> 00:36:41.160Enough with these preemptive strikes.94300:36:41.160 --> 00:36:43.140Well, we're preemptively striking them.94400:36:43.220 --> 00:36:44.180They have a nuclear weapon.94500:36:44.640 --> 00:36:44.840Really?94600:36:45.260 --> 00:36:47.020In the summer we sent the bunker buster94700:36:47.020 --> 00:36:48.600like a mile down and we're told we94800:36:48.600 --> 00:36:50.240sent their nuclear program back decades.94900:36:50.680 --> 00:36:52.440Now all of a sudden Iran has nuclear95000:36:52.440 --> 00:36:52.820weapons?95100:36:55.210 --> 00:36:56.290Is this thing on?95200:36:58.540 --> 00:37:01.940All right, so oftentimes you'll hear things like95300:37:02.660 --> 00:37:05.140the Jews are God's chosen people, yeah?95400:37:06.440 --> 00:37:07.000Yeah.95500:37:07.800 --> 00:37:11.1601 Peter 2.9, he hears writing to95600:37:11.160 --> 00:37:15.660Gentiles and Jews, he's writing to Christians.95700:37:17.280 --> 00:37:19.300This would have normally only been a title95800:37:19.300 --> 00:37:21.140for Jewish people under the Old Testament.95900:37:21.780 --> 00:37:24.180He says, but you are a chosen generation,96000:37:24.880 --> 00:37:28.680a royal priesthood, a holy nation.96100:37:29.600 --> 00:37:30.240Oh, God.96200:37:31.600 --> 00:37:33.760You are a chosen generation.96300:37:34.780 --> 00:37:37.820You are a royal priesthood.96400:37:37.960 --> 00:37:40.060And Chris, you're a holy nation.96500:37:40.060 --> 00:37:42.340Ma'am, you're a holy nation too.96600:37:42.860 --> 00:37:44.300You're a chosen people.96700:37:45.340 --> 00:37:46.580You're a royal priesthood.96800:37:47.120 --> 00:37:49.740You, his own special people.96900:37:51.700 --> 00:37:53.440These are for you now.97000:37:54.220 --> 00:37:57.540Because you have been grafted into Christ.97100:37:58.420 --> 00:38:02.580The blessings of Abraham are for you now.97200:38:03.280 --> 00:38:06.460By the way, we have Jewish believers at97300:38:06.460 --> 00:38:06.920CityLight.97400:38:07.500 --> 00:38:09.500Like more than I would think, especially after97500:38:09.500 --> 00:38:10.440all the stuff I preached.97600:38:13.620 --> 00:38:15.540It's good, the truth of the gospel keeps97700:38:15.540 --> 00:38:16.020them anchored.97800:38:16.260 --> 00:38:17.740Even though in their emotions they might be97900:38:17.740 --> 00:38:19.320going, I don't know how I feel about98000:38:19.320 --> 00:38:19.680this.98100:38:22.120 --> 00:38:23.820But, I mean, you ever have an enema?98200:38:25.800 --> 00:38:27.080You're like, I don't know how I feel98300:38:27.080 --> 00:38:27.520about this.98400:38:27.540 --> 00:38:29.420But then two hours later you're like, yeah!98500:38:33.460 --> 00:38:34.420Sorry for the visual.98600:38:39.020 --> 00:38:41.760That you may proclaim the praises of him98700:38:41.760 --> 00:38:44.520who called you out of darkness into his98800:38:44.520 --> 00:38:45.840marvelous light.98900:38:47.820 --> 00:38:48.400Amen.99000:38:50.220 --> 00:38:52.560I want to show you some verses that99100:38:52.560 --> 00:38:54.960show that you are Israel.99200:38:56.260 --> 00:38:57.120You ready?99300:38:58.620 --> 00:39:04.100Number 2, Galatians 3.7 So how many99400:39:04.100 --> 00:39:05.560of you know what the greatest heresy of99500:39:05.560 --> 00:39:07.700the first century was?99600:39:07.820 --> 00:39:09.180When you read throughout the New Testament.99700:39:09.820 --> 00:39:12.580What was this heresy that they were constantly,99800:39:12.860 --> 00:39:15.080the Apostle Paul, all the writers, there was99900:39:15.080 --> 00:39:17.440one main heresy they were constantly trying to100000:39:17.440 --> 00:39:17.860correct.100100:39:18.600 --> 00:39:20.280You see it in Galatians, you see it100200:39:20.280 --> 00:39:21.700in Acts, you see it in 1 Peter.100300:39:21.820 --> 00:39:22.280It's everywhere.100400:39:25.060 --> 00:39:26.020Say it, you were going to say it.100500:39:27.320 --> 00:39:27.680Circumcision.100600:39:27.960 --> 00:39:29.480That falls into this category.100700:39:29.620 --> 00:39:30.040Very good.100800:39:30.040 --> 00:39:32.420It's just above that would be Judaizing.100900:39:33.140 --> 00:39:35.660And part of the Judaizing was, hey we101000:39:35.660 --> 00:39:38.840need all these Gentiles to become circumcised.101100:39:39.040 --> 00:39:40.740But really it was Judaizing.101200:39:40.940 --> 00:39:45.500It was Jewish believers in Christ but who101300:39:45.500 --> 00:39:48.480still had that Old Testament message of you101400:39:48.480 --> 00:39:50.780are special because of your ethnicity.101500:39:51.580 --> 00:39:54.140You are special because of your bloodline.101600:39:54.520 --> 00:39:56.760You are special because of the genetics you101700:39:56.760 --> 00:39:57.100carry.101800:39:57.100 --> 00:39:58.840And over and over again in the New101900:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.540Testament, it doesn't matter where you're from.102000:40:01.780 --> 00:40:03.600It doesn't matter what your DNA is.102100:40:03.780 --> 00:40:05.900It doesn't matter how you can trace your102200:40:05.900 --> 00:40:06.540lineage back.102300:40:06.900 --> 00:40:09.120If you're in Jesus, you are all one.102400:40:09.460 --> 00:40:11.440You're in Jesus that has several different names.102500:40:11.580 --> 00:40:13.160It's called the body of Christ.102600:40:13.360 --> 00:40:14.820It's called the church.102700:40:15.360 --> 00:40:17.340And it's also called Israel.102800:40:19.000 --> 00:40:23.860And after Jesus' resurrection, about a third of102900:40:23.860 --> 00:40:25.600all the Jews converted.103000:40:26.580 --> 00:40:27.720They turned to Jesus.103100:40:28.420 --> 00:40:29.800That's what the estimate is.103200:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.360The other two thirds refused.103300:40:32.800 --> 00:40:35.500Jesus prophesied to them what would happen while103400:40:35.500 --> 00:40:36.700he was walking among them.103500:40:37.260 --> 00:40:37.940He wept.103600:40:38.680 --> 00:40:40.960The Bible says he looked over Jerusalem and103700:40:40.960 --> 00:40:41.520wept.103800:40:42.040 --> 00:40:44.360And said, oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who stones103900:40:44.360 --> 00:40:44.940the prophets.104000:40:45.320 --> 00:40:47.740He's saying, I sent you prophet after prophet104100:40:47.740 --> 00:40:49.920to tell you to change your ways, to104200:40:49.920 --> 00:40:50.700tell you to repent.104300:40:51.060 --> 00:40:53.220And instead, you stoned the men of God104400:40:53.220 --> 00:40:53.780I sent you.104500:40:54.060 --> 00:40:56.240Now I, God in the flesh, come to104600:40:56.240 --> 00:40:58.120you and bring you a message of deliverance,104700:40:58.340 --> 00:40:59.380bring you a message of love.104800:40:59.580 --> 00:41:00.600And I know what's going to happen.104900:41:00.680 --> 00:41:01.800You're about to crucify me.105000:41:02.040 --> 00:41:03.300So I'm going to tell you, because of105100:41:03.300 --> 00:41:05.960your stiff-neckedness and because of your constant105200:41:05.960 --> 00:41:07.220rebellion, what's going to happen.105300:41:08.440 --> 00:41:09.340You're going to be destroyed.105400:41:09.820 --> 00:41:11.360And a foreign army is going to come105500:41:11.360 --> 00:41:11.980and invade you.105600:41:12.400 --> 00:41:14.500And this whole temple, which was central.105700:41:14.500 --> 00:41:17.880Picture the Empire State Building and the World105800:41:17.880 --> 00:41:19.560Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty all105900:41:19.560 --> 00:41:21.460together and multiplied by ten.106000:41:21.720 --> 00:41:22.900Like the building of buildings.106100:41:23.000 --> 00:41:24.620And he said, this whole temple will be106200:41:24.620 --> 00:41:25.060destroyed.106300:41:25.360 --> 00:41:27.440There won't be one stone left upon another.106400:41:27.680 --> 00:41:28.240And they laughed.106500:41:28.300 --> 00:41:28.900How could that be?106600:41:29.220 --> 00:41:30.740He said that around 33 AD.106700:41:31.040 --> 00:41:32.480Guess what happened in 70 AD?106800:41:33.060 --> 00:41:35.600The Roman army came in, destroyed the whole106900:41:35.600 --> 00:41:40.200temple, ransacked all of Jerusalem and scattered all107000:41:40.200 --> 00:41:40.640the Jews.107100:41:40.640 --> 00:41:42.900You know what else they destroyed that's very107200:41:42.900 --> 00:41:43.300important?107300:41:44.100 --> 00:41:45.640The temple means there's no more Judaism.107400:41:46.040 --> 00:41:48.960The temple's destroyed, the sacrificial system, the Levitical107500:41:48.960 --> 00:41:49.840priesthood destroyed.107600:41:50.240 --> 00:41:53.080There's no more Biblical Judaism, no more Torah107700:41:53.080 --> 00:41:53.600Judaism.107800:41:54.440 --> 00:41:57.040And then they destroyed the genealogical records.107900:41:58.860 --> 00:41:59.920Which are very important.108000:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.500You're not a Jew by what you believe.108100:42:01.600 --> 00:42:03.980You're a Jew by being able to trace108200:42:03.980 --> 00:42:05.140your lineage to Abraham.108300:42:05.840 --> 00:42:07.160You ever read in your Bible how we108400:42:07.160 --> 00:42:09.260can trace anybody's lineage right back to Adam?108500:42:09.900 --> 00:42:11.120Because they were very good.108600:42:11.180 --> 00:42:12.700They had a whole group of these men108700:42:12.700 --> 00:42:13.580called scribes.108800:42:13.620 --> 00:42:14.640And guess what scribes did?108900:42:14.860 --> 00:42:15.540They scribbled.109000:42:17.200 --> 00:42:18.200Ten hours a day.109100:42:18.260 --> 00:42:19.680They said they were very good at scribbling109200:42:19.680 --> 00:42:20.340and note-taking.109300:42:20.680 --> 00:42:22.940And they kept these things very meticulously.109400:42:23.040 --> 00:42:24.000That was all destroyed.109500:42:26.180 --> 00:42:27.740So, can I just use you for a109600:42:27.740 --> 00:42:27.920second?109700:42:28.760 --> 00:42:30.760You're a nice, fine, good-looking man.109800:42:31.600 --> 00:42:32.220I just want to...109900:42:32.220 --> 00:42:33.500Hey, could he be Jewish?110000:42:33.760 --> 00:42:34.640Just take a look at him.110100:42:35.640 --> 00:42:37.040I've met Jews who look like him.110200:42:37.080 --> 00:42:37.720He could be Jewish.110300:42:39.280 --> 00:42:39.680Absolutely.110400:42:40.400 --> 00:42:40.720Thank you.110500:42:40.760 --> 00:42:41.040That's it.110600:42:41.460 --> 00:42:44.100I just needed a good-looking white guy110700:42:44.100 --> 00:42:44.740with blue eyes.110800:42:47.570 --> 00:42:47.910I'm sorry.110900:42:47.970 --> 00:42:48.830Are your eyes blue or green?111000:42:49.010 --> 00:42:50.810I was too mesmerized by them to tell111100:42:50.810 --> 00:42:51.230the difference.111200:42:55.340 --> 00:42:57.400Do you know what Jewish people look like?111300:42:58.180 --> 00:43:00.640What Israelis, what Hebrews look like?111400:43:02.040 --> 00:43:02.820You don't know.111500:43:03.640 --> 00:43:04.960You can take a look at a modern111600:43:04.960 --> 00:43:06.820-day Palestinian to kind of figure out what111700:43:06.820 --> 00:43:08.560someone from the Levant region looks like.111800:43:09.820 --> 00:43:10.540They're brown.111900:43:11.380 --> 00:43:12.380They're very brown.112000:43:14.400 --> 00:43:15.780That's the part of the world they come112100:43:15.780 --> 00:43:16.020from.112200:43:18.720 --> 00:43:21.780So, now you have, say, Netanyahu, who's Polish.112300:43:23.320 --> 00:43:24.420This is going to blow some of your112400:43:24.420 --> 00:43:24.640mind.112500:43:25.400 --> 00:43:27.220By the way, this isn't like fringe, weird112600:43:27.220 --> 00:43:27.520stuff.112700:43:27.600 --> 00:43:28.540This is all out there.112800:43:28.540 --> 00:43:30.000No one has ever just presented it to112900:43:30.000 --> 00:43:31.400you, maybe, like this.113000:43:31.640 --> 00:43:32.500He's Polish.113100:43:32.980 --> 00:43:34.960He had one of those Polish last names113200:43:34.960 --> 00:43:36.460with six Zs in it.113300:43:37.840 --> 00:43:39.860Then he changed his last name to sound113400:43:39.860 --> 00:43:40.360more Jewish.113500:43:41.020 --> 00:43:42.320He's also an atheist.113600:43:42.700 --> 00:43:44.860The majority of the people who started the113700:43:44.860 --> 00:43:47.100modern nation state of Israel are atheists.113800:43:48.540 --> 00:43:50.500And they say, we're Jewish.113900:43:50.780 --> 00:43:52.520And now I can go prove it.114000:43:52.760 --> 00:43:54.800And they go, can't.114100:43:57.180 --> 00:44:00.740But the Holy Scriptures say that God promised114200:44:00.740 --> 00:44:03.100me this land 3,500 years ago and114300:44:03.100 --> 00:44:03.620I'm Jewish.114400:44:03.740 --> 00:44:04.660And I go, well, prove it.114500:44:05.120 --> 00:44:06.260Take my word for it.114600:44:06.300 --> 00:44:06.940Trust me, bro.114700:44:10.530 --> 00:44:11.810Well, you don't look Jewish.114800:44:11.950 --> 00:44:15.490Well, you know, we've been in Europe for114900:44:15.490 --> 00:44:17.490a couple of thousand years, so we got115000:44:17.490 --> 00:44:19.010a little white-eyed and blue-eyed.115100:44:19.210 --> 00:44:19.890Wait, wait.115200:44:19.970 --> 00:44:22.670So a group that's famous for never intermarrying,115300:44:23.490 --> 00:44:26.010you now look like a Scandinavian.115400:44:27.630 --> 00:44:28.130Amazing.115500:44:29.210 --> 00:44:30.990You say, so who are the real Jews?115600:44:31.150 --> 00:44:31.710I don't know.115700:44:32.110 --> 00:44:32.930Can I also tell you?115800:44:33.030 --> 00:44:33.910It doesn't matter.115900:44:35.410 --> 00:44:37.450Because right now there's only two kinds of116000:44:37.450 --> 00:44:40.530people in the world, saved and unsaved.116100:44:41.830 --> 00:44:44.090I highly recommend getting saved.116200:44:45.750 --> 00:44:48.990But when you're told as a Christian that116300:44:48.990 --> 00:44:51.750you must support endless wars in the Middle116400:44:51.750 --> 00:44:55.990East, because if you don't, you're not blessing116500:44:55.990 --> 00:44:56.490Israel.116600:44:56.610 --> 00:44:58.390And if you're not blessing Israel, by default116700:44:58.390 --> 00:45:00.410you're cursing Israel and the lightning bolt from116800:45:00.410 --> 00:45:01.270heaven is going to get you.116900:45:01.410 --> 00:45:02.810I have a problem with that.117000:45:04.410 --> 00:45:06.550By the way, if I preach this message117100:45:06.550 --> 00:45:11.810in Florida or Texas, God forbid, six people117200:45:11.810 --> 00:45:12.650would get a heart attack.117300:45:14.090 --> 00:45:15.850Ten people would have to be carried out.117400:45:15.970 --> 00:45:16.930They'd be in a coma.117500:45:17.890 --> 00:45:19.490And the rest would take out their guns117600:45:19.490 --> 00:45:20.910and be like, Yee-haw, you don't preach117700:45:20.910 --> 00:45:21.810that around here, boy.117800:45:23.490 --> 00:45:24.630God bless Israel.117900:45:25.510 --> 00:45:26.630Why God bless Israel?118000:45:26.690 --> 00:45:28.870Because my Bible says, pray for the peace118100:45:28.870 --> 00:45:29.350of Jerusalem.118200:45:29.870 --> 00:45:30.190Yeah.118300:45:30.930 --> 00:45:32.990You should have done that 2,500 years118400:45:32.990 --> 00:45:34.690ago when it was written.118500:45:36.890 --> 00:45:39.530What did people in the 16th century do118600:45:39.530 --> 00:45:40.650when it said pray for the peace of118700:45:40.650 --> 00:45:40.970Jerusalem?118800:45:41.290 --> 00:45:44.170In the 16th century, Jerusalem was in ruins.118900:45:44.670 --> 00:45:46.170I've seen pictures of what it looked like119000:45:46.170 --> 00:45:47.030in 1910.119100:45:47.030 --> 00:45:48.270You wouldn't believe it.119200:45:48.330 --> 00:45:50.730It's like seven tents around it and like119300:45:50.730 --> 00:45:52.290a little mini flea market off to the119400:45:52.290 --> 00:45:52.550side.119500:45:52.710 --> 00:45:52.990Nothing.119600:45:57.080 --> 00:45:58.360I should get to some scriptures.119700:46:01.440 --> 00:46:04.480By the way, love Jewish people.119800:46:04.760 --> 00:46:06.840I should say, love those who call themselves119900:46:06.840 --> 00:46:07.240Jewish.120000:46:10.640 --> 00:46:14.000I love those who call themselves Jewish.120100:46:15.100 --> 00:46:16.540I don't dislike them.120200:46:17.280 --> 00:46:18.340I have a great time with them.120300:46:21.440 --> 00:46:22.320Can I tell them this?120400:46:22.460 --> 00:46:22.980Not yet.120500:46:23.000 --> 00:46:23.860I'm still getting close.120600:46:23.860 --> 00:46:32.020By the way, my Jewish friends, when I120700:46:32.020 --> 00:46:33.400say I have Jewish friends, I don't have120800:46:33.400 --> 00:46:35.480like an orthodox Jewish friend.120900:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.120They would not, and I've tried, but that121000:46:39.120 --> 00:46:41.060only really lasts like five minutes.121100:46:41.680 --> 00:46:43.480In the neighborhood where we moved into in121200:46:43.480 --> 00:46:45.900Roslyn, Long Island, every neighbor, the first question121300:46:45.900 --> 00:46:47.420they ask my wife is, are you Jewish?121400:46:49.360 --> 00:46:51.020And my wife, she's so sweet and nice.121500:46:51.200 --> 00:46:51.640No.121600:46:53.760 --> 00:46:55.620And they were like, okay.121700:46:57.140 --> 00:46:58.440They were asking you.121800:46:59.380 --> 00:47:00.460Can I trust you?121900:47:00.500 --> 00:47:01.180Are you in the club?122000:47:01.640 --> 00:47:02.660Oh, you're not in the club?122100:47:03.180 --> 00:47:03.920Peace out, boy.122200:47:06.780 --> 00:47:08.160Those are not my Jewish friends.122300:47:08.200 --> 00:47:09.340Those are the ones who won't even give122400:47:09.340 --> 00:47:10.360you the time of day.122500:47:10.620 --> 00:47:14.000My Jewish friends are Americanized Jewish friends, like122600:47:14.000 --> 00:47:15.020on the Upper West Side.122700:47:15.780 --> 00:47:17.040Seinfeld Jews, I call them.122800:47:18.140 --> 00:47:19.860They're very Americanized.122900:47:21.180 --> 00:47:23.940So they can actually hear other things.123000:47:24.080 --> 00:47:25.340You're not going to trigger immediately.123100:47:28.800 --> 00:47:30.000You know what, since I said those are123200:47:30.000 --> 00:47:33.400called themselves Jews, please go to Revelation chapter123300:47:33.400 --> 00:47:39.6202 verse 9 in case you think, you123400:47:39.620 --> 00:47:42.220know, he was a nice pastor, then a123500:47:42.220 --> 00:47:45.500shock jock laid hands on him, and then123600:47:45.500 --> 00:47:47.420he got the impartation of shock jock, and123700:47:47.420 --> 00:47:48.980I can't believe all the stuff he's saying.123800:47:52.210 --> 00:47:53.870Is this helping anyone?123900:47:55.270 --> 00:47:56.910The first three rows, okay.124000:47:59.990 --> 00:48:01.850Look, this should...124100:48:01.850 --> 00:48:03.090hey, I immigrated here.124200:48:03.610 -->

here.124600:48:08.810 --> 00:48:10.610You don't even realize until you come here124700:48:10.610 --> 00:48:12.310what a gospel-rich nation this is.124800:48:13.010 --> 00:48:14.690Where I come from, it's a country of124900:48:14.690 --> 00:48:18.550630,000 people that has 120 to 150125000:48:18.550 --> 00:48:19.510known believers.125100:48:19.510 --> 00:48:21.350That's a dearth of the gospel.125200:48:21.550 --> 00:48:23.470Those are the same statistics as Middle Eastern125300:48:23.470 --> 00:48:25.690countries like Jordan or Yemen or Oman.125400:48:26.410 --> 00:48:27.810I heard

all in red, words of Christ126700:48:55.840 --> 00:48:56.280in red.126800:48:56.560 --> 00:48:58.920Jesus says, I know your works, tribulation and126900:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.340poverty, but you are rich, and I know127000:49:01.340 --> 00:49:04.020the blasphemy of those who say they are127100:49:04.020 --> 00:49:07.660Jews and are not but are a synagogue127200:49:07.660 --> 00:49:08.660of Satan.127300:49:11.560 --> 00:49:13.380So who are these people?127400:49:14.040 --> 00:49:17.680I don't know, but I know they exist127500:49:18.260 --> 00:49:20.080because Jesus said they exist.127600:49:20.660 --> 00:49:22.320He said there are fake Jews.127700:49:22.740 --> 00:49:25.080They call themselves Jews, but they're not.127800:49:25.700 --> 00:49:26.980They're the synagogue of Satan.127900:49:27.440 --> 00:49:32.540Go to Revelation 3.9. Security, can you128000:49:32.540 --> 00:49:32.940hear me?128100:49:33.720 --> 00:49:35.820I want you to come, please, with four128200:49:35.820 --> 00:49:36.980of your friends next

00:50:16.260Y'all need to laugh.129400:50:17.000 --> 00:50:18.180How many Jews do you think there are129500:50:18.180 --> 00:50:18.580in the world?129600:50:24.090 --> 00:50:24.530You guess.129700:50:26.670 --> 00:50:27.190You guess.129800:50:31.320 --> 00:50:31.800You guess.129900:50:34.360 --> 00:50:34.760Three.130000:50:40.240 --> 00:50:41.180That's a great point.130100:50:42.100 --> 00:50:42.620You're all right.130200:50:44.540 --> 00:50:46.380I just asked how many Jews because, and130300:50:46.380 --> 00:50:48.600I don't know, you all are a nice130400:50:48.600 --> 00:50:51.800little aisle here because usually when I ask130500:50:51.800 --> 00:50:53.180people how many Jews are in the world,130600:50:53.300 --> 00:50:56.480they'll say something like 500 million or 200130700:50:56.480 --> 00:50:56.900million.130800:50:58.640 --> 00:51:00.480And he said 12 million, very close.130900:51:01.300 --> 00:51:02.06015 million.131000:51:03.240 --> 00:51:04.160And nobody really knows.131100:51:04.280 --> 00:51:05.660Those who call themselves Jews, 15.131200:51:05.660 --> 00:51:08.040But usually people say something like half a131300:51:08.040 --> 00:51:08.280billion.131400:51:08.880 --> 00:51:09.400Why?131500:51:10.060 --> 00:51:15.720Because that's the impact that they have, which131600:51:15.720 --> 00:51:16.920are things you need to question.131700:51:17.800 --> 00:51:18.220Why?131800:51:20.420 --> 00:51:22.340I mean, there was a massive genocide in131900:51:22.340 --> 00:51:23.900Armenia just a few years ago.132000:51:24.160 --> 00:51:25.560None of you even heard about it.132100:51:26.780 --> 00:51:28.140Nobody talks about it.132200:51:28.640 --> 00:51:31.660But somebody sneezes in Israel, no, they need132300:51:31.660 --> 00:51:32.000our help.132400:51:32.060 --> 00:51:33.020They're our greatest ally.132500:51:36.810 --> 00:51:41.170And I just believe American money should stay132600:51:41.170 --> 00:51:41.670in America.132700:51:41.850 --> 00:51:43.270Do you know what our country would look132800:51:43.270 --> 00:51:44.950like if American money stayed in America?132900:51:45.150 --> 00:51:45.870I can show you.133000:51:46.130 --> 00:51:46.750Look at China.133100:51:47.350 --> 00:51:48.950China doesn't give to anybody.133200:51:49.830 --> 00:51:51.470And I watched some videos of the tunnels133300:51:51.470 --> 00:51:54.790they're making, the bridges, the trains, the city.133400:51:55.150 --> 00:51:57.490And you're going, wow, look what a country133500:51:57.490 --> 00:52:00.190can become when it just reinvests in itself.133600:52:00.850 --> 00:52:03.790Meanwhile, we're acting like drunken frat boys going133700:52:03.790 --> 00:52:04.610to a strip club.133800:52:05.490 --> 00:52:06.870Hey, everybody gets.133900:52:07.390 --> 00:52:09.050Israel, make it rain on you.134000:52:09.570 --> 00:52:11.670How about a few more pallets of cash?134100:52:14.640 --> 00:52:15.480Indeed, I will make...134200:52:15.480 --> 00:52:16.340Did I read this already?134300:52:17.180 --> 00:52:18.700I mean, it's the same thing as 2134400:52:18.700 --> 00:52:20.120-9, but it's worth reading twice.134500:52:20.760 --> 00:52:22.480I indeed will make those of the synagogue134600:52:22.480 --> 00:52:24.520of Satan who say they are Jews and134700:52:24.520 --> 00:52:26.140are not, but lie.134800:52:26.300 --> 00:52:28.480Indeed, I will make them come and worship134900:52:28.480 --> 00:52:31.200before your feet and to know that I135000:52:31.200 --> 00:52:32.800have loved you.135100:52:33.160 --> 00:52:35.800So again, he references the synagogue of Satan,135200:52:36.260 --> 00:52:39.000these fake Jews, pretend Jews.135300:52:41.020 --> 00:52:41.600Hallelujah.135400:52:42.620 --> 00:52:43.860All right, let's get back to the scriptures.135500:52:44.060 --> 00:52:46.220Galatians 3-7.135600:52:46.940 --> 00:52:47.980And I'll close with this.135700:52:48.740 --> 00:52:50.360And if you're confused or angry right now,135800:52:50.380 --> 00:52:51.100I have the solution.135900:52:51.560 --> 00:52:52.860Rewatch this on YouTube.136000:52:53.720 --> 00:52:56.520You'll either get unconfused or angrier.136100:53:04.690 --> 00:53:06.310You know, Paul said...136200:53:06.750 --> 00:53:09.110When people were boasting about their lineage, Paul136300:53:09.110 --> 00:53:11.890said, I'm the Jewiest Jew you ever met.136400:53:12.910 --> 00:53:14.130I'm one true Jew.136500:53:14.530 --> 00:53:15.450I'm King Jew.136600:53:16.490 --> 00:53:18.830He said, I'm of the tribe of Benjamin,136700:53:19.170 --> 00:53:20.290a Pharisee of the...136800:53:20.290 --> 00:53:21.470You know, to be a Pharisee, you had136900:53:21.470 --> 00:53:23.870to have memorized the Pentateuch, the first five137000:53:23.870 --> 00:53:24.570books of the Bible.137100:53:24.990 --> 00:53:25.870He said, I'm that guy.137200:53:26.190 --> 00:53:28.150And he lists his resume and all his137300:53:28.150 --> 00:53:28.650credentials.137400:53:28.650 --> 00:53:30.730And then to make a point, he says,137500:53:30.870 --> 00:53:32.720but I counted that all as dung.137600:53:33.610 --> 00:53:34.190Poop.137700:53:34.910 --> 00:53:35.310Crap.137800:53:36.170 --> 00:53:39.330That means nothing, because what matters is the137900:53:39.330 --> 00:53:40.570blood of Jesus.138000:53:40.910 --> 00:53:42.650And when the blood of Jesus is on138100:53:42.650 --> 00:53:44.730your life, you're brought into Israel.138200:53:45.290 --> 00:53:47.390You're brought into the body of Christ.138300:53:48.170 --> 00:53:48.610Hallelujah.138400:53:51.490 --> 00:53:54.510Therefore know that only those who are of138500:53:54.510 --> 00:53:56.250faith are sons of Abraham.138600:53:59.380 --> 00:54:01.460So who is a son of Abraham?138700:54:01.600 --> 00:54:02.260That is a Jew.138800:54:02.640 --> 00:54:04.100Do we have any people here who are138900:54:04.100 --> 00:54:04.640of faith?139000:54:05.200 --> 00:54:08.200The Bible calls you Israel.139100:54:09.260 --> 00:54:13.060Not a nation that was founded in 1948.139200:54:13.600 --> 00:54:15.520Not a government that is at war right139300:54:15.520 --> 00:54:16.780now in 2026.139400:54:17.280 --> 00:54:19.020It might have the name, but so does139500:54:19.020 --> 00:54:19.560my plumber.139600:54:19.920 --> 00:54:20.960But he's not Jesus.139700:54:22.720 --> 00:54:24.140You are Israel.139800:54:24.820 --> 00:54:26.900You are the seed of Abraham.139900:54:27.440 --> 00:54:29.540You are an heir of the promise.140000:54:30.460 --> 00:54:32.820Some of you are going back 40 years140100:54:32.820 --> 00:54:35.280and remembering, oh, I was five years old.140200:54:35.660 --> 00:54:36.760I was in kids' church.140300:54:37.160 --> 00:54:38.200And we sang that song.140400:54:38.700 --> 00:54:41.000Father Abraham had many sons.140500:54:41.400 --> 00:54:43.780Many sons had Father Abraham.140600:54:44.400 --> 00:54:46.780I am one of them, and so are140700:54:46.780 --> 00:54:47.140you.140800:54:47.480 --> 00:54:50.160So let's just praise the Lord.140900:54:51.470 --> 00:54:54.930And you go, wow, I've heard this before.141000:54:55.350 --> 00:54:57.110I am one of them, and so are141100:54:57.110 --> 00:54:57.490you.141200:54:59.910 --> 00:55:02.490Galatians 3.29, so we just saw faith,141300:55:02.610 --> 00:55:04.690not bloodline determines who belongs to Abraham.141400:55:04.990 --> 00:55:07.490This completely redefines God's people under the new141500:55:07.490 --> 00:55:07.830covenant.141600:55:08.670 --> 00:55:12.310Galatians 3.29, it says, and if you141700:55:12.310 --> 00:55:15.430are Christ's, anybody here who belongs to Christ?141800:55:16.150 --> 00:55:20.230Then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according141900:55:20.230 --> 00:55:21.130to the promise.142000:55:21.130 --> 00:55:24.770So the inheritance of God's promises now belongs142100:55:24.770 --> 00:55:25.930to those in Christ.142200:55:26.510 --> 00:55:30.110No spiritual second-class citizens exist in the142300:55:30.110 --> 00:55:30.650new covenant.142400:55:31.090 --> 00:55:33.610And here's what all those churches in Florida142500:55:33.610 --> 00:55:35.670and Texas and wherever they have the Star142600:55:35.670 --> 00:55:37.050of David and they come and blow the142700:55:37.050 --> 00:55:41.010shofar and they're cheering on defending Israel, here's142800:55:41.010 --> 00:55:42.150what they actually believe.142900:55:42.570 --> 00:55:45.030For a Christian, yeah, you're saved, and of143000:55:45.030 --> 00:55:47.470course you're saved and you're heaven-bound, but143100:55:47.470 --> 00:55:50.250see this person here who's Jewish, they're really143200:55:50.250 --> 00:55:52.370an atheist and they hate you and they143300:55:52.370 --> 00:55:54.890reject Christ, but don't worry, they still have143400:55:54.890 --> 00:55:56.610this special covenant with God.143500:55:58.630 --> 00:56:01.530Does that make any sense to you whatsoever?143600:56:02.170 --> 00:56:03.670They have a parallel covenant.143700:56:04.870 --> 00:56:06.170They still have access.143800:56:06.670 --> 00:56:09.370No, if you haven't come to Christ, like143900:56:09.370 --> 00:56:11.970anybody, whether you're a tree hugger, a druid,144000:56:12.330 --> 00:56:15.550a Hindu, you're in your sins.144100:56:15.550 --> 00:56:17.450You don't have access to the covenant.144200:56:17.830 --> 00:56:20.590That covenant only comes by the blood.144300:56:21.590 --> 00:56:23.190Come on, you can shout hallelujah.144400:56:28.260 --> 00:56:31.980Romans 9, 6-8, where Paul says, hey,144500:56:32.300 --> 00:56:33.980they're not all Israel who came out of144600:56:33.980 --> 00:56:37.180Israel, but it is not that the word144700:56:37.180 --> 00:56:39.460of God has taken no effect.144800:56:39.600 --> 00:56:55.930Romans 9, verse 6, for144900:56:55.930 --> 00:56:58.670they are not all Israel who are of145000:56:58.670 --> 00:56:59.130Israel.145100:56:59.130 --> 00:57:03.110So he's saying they're not all God's nation145200:57:03.110 --> 00:57:05.390just because they weren't born in God's nation.145300:57:06.070 --> 00:57:08.390They're not all spiritual Jews just because they145400:57:08.390 --> 00:57:09.430weren't born Jews.145500:57:11.660 --> 00:57:13.820Nor are they all children because they are145600:57:13.820 --> 00:57:14.820the seed of Abraham.145700:57:15.080 --> 00:57:17.480But in Isaac your seed shall be called.145800:57:18.000 --> 00:57:19.840That is, those who are the children of145900:57:19.840 --> 00:57:21.860the flesh, these are not the children of146000:57:21.860 --> 00:57:23.800God, but the children of the promise are146100:57:23.800 --> 00:57:25.100counted as the seed.146200:57:26.020 --> 00:57:29.960There's a distinction made there between ethnic Israel146300:57:29.960 --> 00:57:31.280and spiritual Israel.146400:57:32.020 --> 00:57:34.120Where is ethnic Israel right now?146500:57:34.200 --> 00:57:35.300Nobody knows.146600:57:37.810 --> 00:57:39.750By the way, do you know that it's146700:57:39.750 --> 00:57:40.150illegal?146800:57:40.910 --> 00:57:41.770Look it up.146900:57:42.130 -->

Christians152600:59:52.970 --> 00:59:54.810can't say anything because they think that they're152700:59:54.810 --> 00:59:58.110cursing God's people, not realizing that they're God's152800:59:58.110 --> 00:59:58.390people.152900:59:59.130 --> 01:00:00.790And by the way, everything I just said,153001:00:00.870 --> 01:00:03.430you can actually say, and it's not anti153101:00:03.430 -->

how you're forever156601:01:38.140 --> 01:01:39.960loved and nothing you could ever do will156701:01:39.960 --> 01:01:41.460separate you from the love of Christ.156801:01:45.760 -->

behaving.158001:02:05.280 --> 01:02:07.980All of a sudden, normal peaceful Dallas housewives158101:02:08.500 --> 01:02:13.460overnight have become warmongers blowing the shofar, praying158201:02:13.460 --> 01:02:15.040for the destruction of Iran.158301:02:16.200 --> 01:02:17.600Like, what happened to you?158401:02:18.220 --> 01:02:19.200You were programmed.158501:02:21.340 --> 01:02:22.820Oh, can I just say this since I158601:02:22.820 --> 01:02:24.020know how the sausage is made?158701:02:25.120 --> 01:02:26.960I'm in the business of ministry.158801:02:27.640 --> 01:02:28.600I mean, I don't see it that way,158901:02:28.640 --> 01:02:29.460but it is the biz.159001:02:30.720 --> 01:02:31.760And I've been to the back of the159101:02:31.760 --> 01:02:32.160factory.159201:02:33.200 --> 01:02:34.800You don't ever want to see how the159301:02:34.800 --> 01:02:35.520sausage is made.159401:02:36.580 --> 01:02:39.580But this whole thing of why these evangelical159501:02:39.580 --> 01:02:42.780Christians, 50 million of America, are so pro159601:02:42.780 --> 01:02:44.160-Israel and so pro-Jewish, do you know159701:02:44.160 --> 01:02:44.720why?159801:02:45.440 --> 01:02:50.760Because it was spread mainly through TBN, Daystar.159901:02:50.920 --> 01:02:51.920It was the Christian type.160001:02:51.940 --> 01:02:52.760But do you know why?160101:02:54.300 --> 01:02:55.500I know this.160201:02:56.080 --> 01:02:57.140Once again, I'm in the biz.160301:02:57.580 --> 01:03:00.040They found out it is huge for money160401:03:00.040 --> 01:03:00.500making.160501:03:01.520 --> 01:03:04.240There's whole groups of people who will never160601:03:04.240 --> 01:03:05.260give to a church.160701:03:05.800 --> 01:03:06.900Never give to an evangelist.160801:03:06.980 --> 01:03:07.760Never give to missions.160901:03:07.920 --> 01:03:10.340But tell them that if they bless Israel,161001:03:10.560 --> 01:03:11.580God will bless them.161101:03:11.580 --> 01:03:13.300They're writing out six figure checks.161201:03:13.960 --> 01:03:16.860John Hagee has raised tens of millions.161301:03:17.500 --> 01:03:19.160By the way, he'll raise tens of millions161401:03:19.160 --> 01:03:20.960for food for people for Israel.161501:03:22.140 --> 01:03:23.200Literature for people for Israel.161601:03:23.240 --> 01:03:24.940Not evangelistic literature, just books.161701:03:25.700 --> 01:03:27.800Nothing having to do with getting them saved.161801:03:28.060 --> 01:03:30.080Not even promising that we'll witness to them.161901:03:30.460 --> 01:03:31.820Just let's get them free stuff.162001:03:31.980 --> 01:03:33.560And as with a lot of these organizations,162101:03:34.040 --> 01:03:35.760they really only use 8 cents of every162201:03:35.760 --> 01:03:37.240dollar, 12 cents of every dollar.162301:03:37.240 --> 01:03:39.700And these ministries have become so wealthy and162401:03:39.700 --> 01:03:40.240so fat.162501:03:40.680 --> 01:03:44.400All because there's a lot of white Christians162601:03:44.400 --> 01:03:46.200who feel very, very guilty.162701:03:47.000 --> 01:03:50.060And they milk that guilt and make hundreds162801:03:50.060 --> 01:03:50.640of millions.162901:03:51.400 --> 01:03:53.200Thank you for coming to my TED talk.163001:04:00.130 --> 01:04:01.490Worship team, you're

from the commonwealth of Israel.163401:04:17.380 --> 01:04:19.940And strangers from the covenants of promise.163501:04:20.780 --> 01:04:22.020Having no hope.163601:04:22.080 --> 01:04:23.960He's talking about Gentiles, most of us.163701:04:24.020 --> 01:04:25.020Not Jews, Gentiles.163801:04:25.420 --> 01:04:27.080This was our sad little state.163901:04:27.700 --> 01:04:29.600We're aliens from the commonwealth of Israel.164001:04:30.160 --> 01:04:30.860We're outside.164101:04:31.880 --> 01:04:32.520That's not good.164201:04:32.520 --> 01:04:33.740You want to be in Israel.164301:04:33.820

to be a stranger from164701:04:41.140 --> 01:04:42.120the covenant of promise.164801:04:42.280 --> 01:04:44.240Having no hope and without God in this164901:04:44.240 --> 01:04:44.520world.165001:04:44.860 --> 01:04:45.820That was all of us.165101:04:46.200 --> 01:04:47.020But what happened?165201:04:47.460 --> 01:04:51.520But now in Christ Jesus, you who once165301:04:51.520 --> 01:04:53.020were far off.165401:04:53.180 --> 01:04:55.960Have been brought near by the blood of165501:04:55.960 --> 01:04:56.320Christ.165601:05:03.640 --> 01:05:06.260For he

blood.166001:05:11.460 --> 01:05:14.440You are now the apple of his eye.166101:05:14.640 --> 01:05:16.400His own precious unique possession.166201:05:16.860 --> 01:05:18.080You are his chosen people.166301:05:18.420 --> 01:05:19.720When you are a Christian, you are his166401:05:19.720 --> 01:05:20.720holy nation.166501:05:21.760 --> 01:05:23.340Who has made both one.166601:05:23.340 -->

your head.167001:05:32.440 --> 01:05:33.560A Jew doesn't believe in Jesus.167101:05:33.980 --> 01:05:35.140A third of them did.167201:05:36.040 --> 01:05:38.420All the first century believers for the first167301:05:38.420 --> 01:05:40.440seven or eight years were all Jews.167401:05:41.300 --> 01:05:42.980Gentiles didn't even know they could get saved.167501:05:43.080 --> 01:05:44.660They kind of
