- 0:06O Israel, Jehovah is our God. Jehovah is 1.
- 0:19Messianic Ministry to Israel began in 1944 when Christians
- 0:24gathered in downtown Chattanooga, TN to pray for the
- 0:29Jewish people experiencing the Holocaust and global
- 0:33anti-Semitism. The result of our two weekly
- 0:36prayer meetings was what came to be called today as Messianic
- 0:41Ministry to Israel, obedient to the Biblical mandate of
- 0:46missions, taking the Gospel of Yeshua to the Jewish people in
- 0:51accordance to Acts 18 and Romans 116.
- 0:55Messianic Ministry to Israel has discovered where God is going,
- 1:00what God is doing, and we've joined him.
- 1:03And we invite you to join us on God's mission field Israel to
- 1:09help gather the remnant of Yeshua.
- 1:12One of our spokes of ministry is radio, and we hope that you will
- 1:17be enlightened, encouraged and equipped in Messianic Ministry
- 1:21to Israel. I'm sharing from my book
- 1:25Yeshua's Israel. Do the ancient Holy Scriptures
- 1:30validate the modern Jewish and Palestinian claim to the Holy
- 1:36Land, to the Land of Israel, what some called the Land of
- 1:41Palestine? We have looked at the Holy Land
- 1:45being a central theme in the Divine Library, and we've
- 1:50examined the claim of the Zionist this land is our land,
- 1:55the claim of the Palestinians, this land is our land.
- 2:00Now we're going to look at the claim of the Lord who says this
- 2:05land is my land? There is no space or territory
- 2:11more significant to Elohim than the tiny biblical historic real
- 2:16estate called Israel. As already stated earlier, one
- 2:23of the major motifs of the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, is
- 2:28the land. The land which from the Gan
- 2:31Eden, from the Garden in Eden at the beginning of Holy Writ all
- 2:36the way to the New Jerusalem, the Kadeshah Jerusalem at the
- 2:44end of the Bible is Eretz Israel, the land of Israel.
- 2:51The ancient Jewish rabbis taught that the Holy One of Israel,
- 2:57Messiah, Messiah is the sole possessor of 13 things, silver,
- 3:05gold, the priesthood, Israel, the first born, the altar, the
- 3:14first fruits, the anointing, oil, the Tabernacle of Meeting,
- 3:20the kingship of the House of David, the sacrifices, the Land
- 3:25of Israel and the elders. The worship and religion of
- 3:33Judaism is wholly connected to and said to be compatible with
- 3:40Erin's Israel, the Land of Israel, the Torah, the Neveim,
- 3:46and the Kituveim. What is called the Tanakh, what
- 3:49Christians call the Old Testament, pronounces a divine
- 3:54significance of the Holy Land. Zechariah wrote, and I quote,
- 4:00And Jehovah will inherit Yehuda as his portion in the Holy Land,
- 4:07and will again choose Yerushalayim.
- 4:10That's Zechariah 212. The term Holy Land does indeed
- 4:17appear in the Bible. In the Holy Scriptures.
- 4:21It was not concocted by Middle Eastern tour companies to entice
- 4:26Christians to make pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but it was given
- 4:31to Moshe, who gave it to us in the Torah, in the Holy
- 4:37Scriptures. Devrim Deuteronomy 11/12 says
- 4:41this and I quote a land for which Jehovah Elohim cares.
- 4:48The eyes of Jehovah your God are always on it.
- 4:52That is the land from the beginning of the year to the end
- 4:56of the year. The Holy Scriptures speak of
- 5:00Israel as quote the land of Moriah.
- 5:04The Hebrew term Moriah means to see Yah, to see God.
- 5:09God is said to have a home in Israel.
- 5:12He lives at Beitel or Bethel. God is sighted at Mahanaim or
- 5:19God's camp. The Holy Land was given many
- 5:23titles, many attributes. It's called a good and spacious
- 5:28land in Exodus 38. The promised land in Numbers
- 5:3214-6. My land in Joel 16 is land in
- 5:38Joel 218, Beulah land or married land in Isaiah 62.
- 5:44Four, the land of the living in Psalm 142, verse 5, and myriad
- 5:51more titles of significance. From Gan Eden, the Garden in
- 5:57Eden at the beginning of Holy Writ, to Moraya where Avraham
- 6:03offered Yitzhak, to the land of Israel, to the millennial
- 6:09Kingdom, to the New Jerusalem. The land is revealed as holy and
- 6:16belonging to the landlord, and that landlord is Yehovah Shuah.
- 6:22Psalm 24 verse 3 says that I quote who may ascend to
- 6:26Yehovah's heel? Who may stand in his holy place?
- 6:31Leviticus 2523 says The land shall not be sold in perpetuity,
- 6:38for the land is mine. For you are strangers, and live
- 6:43as foreigners with me. In Joel 1/6 it says, For a
- 6:50nation has come up on my land strong and without number.
- 6:56Jeremiah 27 says, But when you entered my land, you defiled my
- 7:02land. The tenants of the land are
- 7:05always allowed entry and settlement.
- 7:08Some are custodians, while Elohim prepares its authentic
- 7:13heirs. And just because a nation in
- 7:16history took the land did not mean and does not mean today
- 7:20they are the heirs. The heirs are the true children
- 7:25of Israel, His holy remnant. Yekkel or Ezekiel, identifies
- 7:32the holy mountain of Elohim, the holy mountain of God spoken of
- 7:37in Ezekiel 28, where Satan the ruling cherub once dwelt, and he
- 7:44identifies that place as Mount Zion.
- 7:47Mount Zion, that is Yerushalayim, the locust, the
- 7:52center, the nucleus, the bullseye of Israel in Ezekiel
- 7:582040, Lucifer, his real name, Halil bin Shakar, was the first
- 8:04proprietor of the land. He lived in it, and he ruled in
- 8:09Aden, the Garden of God, until sin was found in him.
- 8:15That is Halil bin Shakar, or Lucifer.
- 8:18At that point he was exiled. Lucifer was there before Adam.
- 8:25Every precious stone in the garden was the cherub's
- 8:30covering. The cherub.
- 8:32Lucifer or Halil bin Shakar was anointed until he sinned.
- 8:37Lucifer, the ruling cherub or Halil bin Shakar was exiled from
- 8:42that land according to Ezekiel 2816.
- 8:47This principle remains until this present day as a biblical
- 8:51standard for inheritance and residence in the land Jerusalem.
- 8:58Jerusalem was and remains to be the epicenter of the world.
- 9:05When the anointed cherub Lucifer Halil bin Shakar was cast out as
- 9:10profane, Ezekiel 2816 says God then made an image of himself,
- 9:18named him Adam, and placed Adam his image within his holy
- 9:24vineyard with God's ordained perimeters.
- 9:29Adam was the sovereign monarch and the autonomous God image
- 9:33ruling over all the earth from Ghan Eden, Adam and the Holy
- 9:39Land were esteemed as the source of blessing to all the earth.
- 9:46This too remains to be a zenith motif throughout the Holy
- 9:51Scriptures until today. Sin was committed again in the
- 9:56Holy Land, instigated by the serpent, inspired by the
- 10:00sinister Terriblucifer Khalil bin Shekhar, and then executed
- 10:05by Adam and Hava. Elohim being the same yesterday
- 10:10and today and tomorrow and forever exiled his image.
- 10:16Adam and Hava were exiled from Paradise, yet Jehovah had an
- 10:23eternal plan for the image of himself written before the
- 10:29foundation of the world. He had predetermined that his
- 10:34eternal narrative would consist of coming himself to his Holy
- 10:40Land to be slain in the Holy Land to pay for the sin of his
- 10:47image. Adam and Khava and their
- 10:50descendants and to redeem them in order to reinstate man as his
- 10:57monarch of his Kingdom that would live in his Holy Land.
- 11:04Bereshit or Genesis is the story of Elohim launching his program
- 11:10after only a few verses of the horrific fall of man.
- 11:14Elohim initiated 3 colossal world wars, the war between the
- 11:19woman and the serpent, the war between the woman's seed and the
- 11:23serpent's seed, and 3rd the war between the He that is the
- 11:29champion from the woman who was to crush the head of you, that
- 11:34is the Serpent. The ground upon which the three
- 11:38wars has been and will be fought is the Holy Land of Israel.
- 11:45Abraham and Sarah living in the east were called Yonder in the
- 11:49east to return westward to come back to quote the land that I
- 11:56will show you, Genesis 1212 and 3.
- 12:00Abraham and Sarah became the world's new God images, the
- 12:06likeness of Elohim. Although of course, they would
- 12:10have to work out their faith, their salvation and redemption,
- 12:16of course with the help of God. They were God's representatives,
- 12:21the new sovereigns of the earth, and they were the resource of
- 12:25blessing to the earth. Avraham and his seed would be
- 12:31Elohim's thermostat of the earth's spiritual climate.
- 12:36Avraham and Sarah would be the anointed or Messianic figures
- 12:41living in the land, the new monarchs to bless all the
- 12:46families of the earth living outside the land.
- 12:49This Abrahamic covenant was promised to Abraham and to his
- 12:54heirs, Yizhak, Yaakov, Israel, David and eventually bin David,
- 13:04the son of David, the son of man, who was coming to reign for
- 13:101000 years over all the earth from the land of Israel as Adam
- 13:17should have reigned. That person Sha UL called in
- 13:21First Corinthians the last Adam, and that last Adam is Yeshua.
- 13:30I quote the first man. Adam became a living soul.
- 13:34The last Adam became a life giving spirit.
- 13:39The first man is of the earth made of dust.
- 13:42The second man is the Lord from heaven.
- 13:46That's First Corinthians 1545 through 48.
- 13:51The Holy Scriptures give us the history of many custodians that
- 13:56God allowed to enter and to settle and to squat in His land.
- 14:03We call these the ITE brothers, the Amorite, Amalekite,
- 14:09Canaanite, Girgashite, Hittites and Horrorites, Ishmaelites,
- 14:14Jebusites, Chadmanites, Kinozites, Kinnites, and the
- 14:19Perizite, But they did not and will never inherit the holiest
- 14:25state. They were only custodians as God
- 14:29worked His messianic plan to the people of Israel.
- 14:34We might also add the Palestinianites to that list.
- 14:39They are there today, but they are not the heirs of the land.
- 14:43They will never receive it. And we might also add modern
- 14:47Israelites. They are not the heirs of the
- 14:51land, only those who are believers in Yeshua.
- 14:55Only they will inherit God's backyard.
- 14:59Elohim tested His chosen people, called Israel, the nation of
- 15:03Israel, much more severe than he did the goyim, the nations.
- 15:08In fact, he said that he would do so in the text in the book of
- 15:12Devrim, the book of Deuteronomy. He said that he would treat them
- 15:17more harshly than the nations if they disobeyed His commands.
- 15:23His chosen people, Israel, were not chosen as Elohim's pet
- 15:28people, but rather to mirror Elohim.
- 15:34God promised to gather His remnant, those obedient in faith
- 15:38to the land, as the heirs and monarchs.
- 15:41For those disobedient to His law, Jehovah promised to
- 15:46exterminate them in cruel and seemingly inhumane ways.
- 15:52The Holy Bible is the story of Jehovah's promises, the good
- 15:57ones and the bad ones, and his fulfillment of them.
- 16:03The central and zenith motif of the Holy Scriptures is the one
- 16:08who was coming and who finally came, the landlord's Son Yeshua,
- 16:16who would redeem both man and the land and make the land the
- 16:21Kingdom of our God. There his predetermined remnant
- 16:26kings and priests would rule the world.
- 16:30Even the harvest and the agricultural festivals in the
- 16:35divine library were seen and were interpreted in light of the
- 16:40coming Son of God and the coming Son of Adam, the Son of Man who
- 16:47would be Lord of the Land. The first born of all men living
- 16:52in the land belonged to God, as did the first fruits of crops
- 16:57harvested in the land. Yeshua is the landlord's first
- 17:03born son who came to be King. He was rejected by the
- 17:08inhabitants of His Father's estate who call themselves
- 17:13Israel, just like Yeshua is rejected today in the Land of
- 17:18Israel by those who call themself Israel.
- 17:23Yeshua is coming again. This time He's coming to receive
- 17:28His inheritance and to reign in that land over all the globe as
- 17:35King Zechariah 212. No other land is notably
- 17:41significant as the Land of Israel in the Holy Scriptures.
- 17:46The land was divided according to God's determination, as
- 17:51demonstrated by the casting of lots rather than man choosing
- 17:57Numbers 2655. The 12 tribes of Elohim's
- 18:03selection were to possess the land, and the land was
- 18:08indicative of 1's relationship to and fellowship with God.
- 18:14The land was the place of refuge where one was refreshed by God.
- 18:20The land was the place of rest for man, and mysteriously, the
- 18:25place of rest for God. Psalm 9511 and Isaiah 66.
- 18:31One, even the command of the Sabbath extended to the land,
- 18:37which was indicative of 1's rest in and with God.
- 18:43Often in the Holy Scriptures, the land was personified.
- 18:48To mistreat the land was as if one was mistreating Elohim,
- 18:53personifying the land as Elohim. The estate was seen reacting
- 18:58violently to defilement, vomiting out the diseased of the
- 19:02land. Read that in Leviticus 1828.
- 19:07All other lands of the earth were viewed as unclean, Amos 717
- 19:13regarded as a grave and rancid. Ezekiel 37, their dusk
- 19:18contaminating the Holy Land. Matthew 10/14, which shares the
- 19:24glory of its landlord with no other land, no other estate.
- 19:31Israel, the Holy Land is indeed preeminent in the Holy
- 19:39Scriptures. The land reacted to man's
- 19:42disobedience to God's covenant. Deuteronomy 2824 Heavenly dew
- 19:49cease. Famine fell, drought ensued, and
- 19:53the tenants of the land suffered consequences.
- 19:57The land especially reacted to the crucifixion of its owner by
- 20:03quaking so violently. That Herod's temple was torn,
- 20:08although from top to bottom. Beloved, I'm sharing with you
- 20:12from my book called Yeshua's Israel.
- 20:17Do the ancient holy Scriptures validate the modern Jewish and
- 20:23Palestinian claim to the Holy Land?
- 20:26And you can get a copy by going to Amazon.com and simply typing
- 20:31in my name, Reggie Lissimby. I hope you will enjoy the book.
- 20:39Although nothing is intrinsically holy of itself,
- 20:43the land, the human body, man's mind, and God's redeemed people
- 20:47are sanctified, set apart. For God declared holy.
- 20:52And what God's declared holy is indeed holy.
- 20:56Every born again son of Adam and daughter of Hava are Saints.
- 21:02That is authentically holy if they've been born again.
- 21:07What Jehovah sanctifies is holy. The prophet Ezekiel taught that
- 21:14the land of Israel was the belly button, the navel of the earth.
- 21:19Ezekiel 3812, Ezekiel 55. This land of Israel, God's
- 21:27backyard, the Holy Land was the origin of Adam.
- 21:32It's the origin of man and the origin of God's plan and holy to
- 21:40Jehovah. A Jewish writing in the book of
- 21:43Jubilees refers to Mount Zion as the center of the earth's navel.
- 21:50Many Jews living outside the land desired to be buried
- 21:54underneath Israeli soil that they believed was holy, the
- 21:59world's altar of atonement. The rabbis taught that the world
- 22:04was an eye, the ocean surrounding the world was the
- 22:09white of the eye, and the black of the eye was the world itself.
- 22:15And the pupil is Jerusalem. Jerusalem.
- 22:19And the image in the pupil, that image is a Mishkan, the
- 22:26sanctuary, the Temple. The rabbis father taught that
- 22:30only in Israel does the Shekinah, the disclosed glory of
- 22:37God, manifest itself. Fruit trees, flowers, grain,
- 22:43garden produce, rare spices and perfumes of the hottest zones
- 22:48are found in Israel. Alfred Edersheim states quote
- 22:53every kind of fish in the world teemed in its waters, while
- 23:00birds of most gorgeous plumage feel the air of Israel with
- 23:06their song as far as the eye could reach.
- 23:10Browse quote the cattle on 1000 hills and the land greatly
- 23:15enriched with the river of God. The prayers of the Jews
- 23:20consisted of the 18 benedictions recited 3 times a day, an
- 23:25expression of religious zeal. Faith was confirmed by devotion
- 23:31to the holy city of Yerushalayim, and the land in
- 23:35which it lay was emphasized in Benedictions 1416 and 18.
- 23:43More importantly, the Land of Israel is hallmarked throughout
- 23:47the Divine Library. Throughout the Holy Scriptures,
- 23:51the Land of Israel has been prayed over, even watered with
- 23:54tears of Israeli prophets like Yurmi Yahoo.
- 23:58Jeremiah Yeshua spoke of the Land as his father's vineyard,
- 24:04and with a whip in his hand, Yeshua scourge larceny and he
- 24:09scourge pilfering from his father's Mishkan, his father's
- 24:14Tabernacle, which resided in his father's vineyard, His father's
- 24:20house. Yeshua promised the meat to
- 24:24inherit the land and that upon his return to reign as King of
- 24:29the earth, he would reign from that particular land.
- 24:34The complete messianic work of God from the beginning in
- 24:38Genesis better sheet to the end in the Apocalypse of Yeshua is
- 24:44stationed within the preeminent real estate, significant and
- 24:49thematic in history, the Land of Israel.
- 24:53What Adam, the federal head of the human race, did and lost for
- 24:58humanity, He performed and lost in the Holy Land.
- 25:03What Yeshua did was to redeem and reclaim humanity, and He
- 25:10performed His redemptive plan for man and the Holy Land.
- 25:16Therefore, God watches over both His man and His land for His
- 25:21messianic plan, His messianic design, which has not yet been
- 25:26fully realized. His Son is yet to reign as King
- 25:32over the earth from that estate, and that has not happened now.
- 25:38In the meanwhile, God might allow.
- 25:41He has allowed custodians to live there.
- 25:45God's investment in the land did not disappear when the covenant
- 25:50with Israel was written. Israel is a tenant in the land,
- 25:53not a landlord. Israel is a renter, A visitor,
- 25:58an alien, and the land is leased to Israel in partial fulfillment
- 26:04of His word of promise. God always determines the tenure
- 26:09of His occupants and modern Israel who are not believers in
- 26:13Yeshua. They are not heirs of that land.
- 26:17Write it in the book. No, you don't have to.
- 26:20It's already been written the identity of the land was and his
- 26:25holy that is separated from the common world unto God who
- 26:30created that land, owns the land, dwells in the land, all
- 26:34other lands of the earth are Borderlands, and all other
- 26:37dwellers in God's holiest state who are not of the same
- 26:41character of God, not born to get into His Kingdom.
- 26:45They're only borders and tenants dwelling in the land for a time.
- 26:51God makes determinations of the tenure of the occupants of his
- 26:57land according to their submission of his revelation.
- 27:02This message is especially important from modern Israel.
- 27:07If the Jewish people who call themselves today Israel appeal
- 27:12only to their statehood, their historic relationship to the
- 27:16land, they're conquering the land through wars, the need for
- 27:21a refuge for Jews from world inquisitions and Holocaust.
- 27:25But they're not born again of the spirit of the landlord,
- 27:29Jehovah. They will not inherit the Holy
- 27:33Land of Israel. Modern Israel needs to
- 27:38demonstrate an open house ready for inspection of the Land's
- 27:44landlord. Let Israel invite the Old
- 27:47Testament prophets to come, the New Testament apostles to come,
- 27:53more especially the landlord's Son Yeshua to come and to judge
- 27:59its state in accordance with the Holy Revelation of the Holy
- 28:05Scriptures. After all, the Father has
- 28:09committed all judgment to the Son.
- 28:12Would Yeshua interpret modern Israel today as His body, His
- 28:18bride, His Kehila, His congregation, His holy Assembly,
- 28:24or they? This same challenge is certainly
- 28:27for the Palestinian Arabs, whom God has promised nothing
- 28:31concerning the Land of Israel. The modern state of Israel must
- 28:36be biblically examined also by modern Christendom to see if the
- 28:42image of God is abiding in the Holy Land in accordance to the
- 28:47stipulations of the Brigadishah, the New Covenant.
- 28:52If not, Christians had better be very be careful in giving modern
- 28:57Israel false security and false hope.
