- 0:06O Israel, Yehovah is our God. Yehovah is 1.
- 0:20Messianic Ministry to Israel began in 1944 when Christians
- 0:25gathered 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 us 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. From the Garden in Eden to the
- 1:26New Jerusalem. The Lord Jehovah watches over
- 1:32his estate. God created a Dom and placed him
- 1:36in his Holy Land. God promised His Holy Land to
- 1:43Avraham and Yitzhak and Yaokov and Israel and the 12 tribes of
- 1:53Israel. Yaokov saw a ladder in God's
- 1:57land, it's top reaching heaven, and angels were ascending from
- 2:03and descending to the Holy Land. Yahushua met the captain of the
- 2:11Lord's host at the border of the Holy Land.
- 2:16Yeshua said that the landlord had given the garden to the
- 2:21landlord's son, yet the tenants would kill the son to have the
- 2:27vineyard for themselves. That's in method.
- 2:31Yahoo, 2138. So whose land is it?
- 2:38Do the ancient Holy Scriptures, the Divine Library, validate the
- 2:46modern Jewish and Palestinian claim to God's backyard, the
- 2:54Holy Land? From the beginning of the Divine
- 2:59Library, the reader of the Holy Scriptures is introduced to
- 3:05Elohim, God as the creator of both the heavens and the earth.
- 3:13The earth is immediately portrayed as a deformed, empty,
- 3:19dark and submerged estate in the abyss.
- 3:24The inspired author of Genesis was Moshe, who after 2 short
- 3:34chapters concerning the recreation of earth in six days,
- 3:40presented the Holy Land of God's presence as preeminent in all
- 3:47the earth. The Holy Land became and
- 3:50remained an epimotif in Holy Writ from Gan Eden in Genesis
- 3:59all the way to the New Jerusalem in the Apocalypse, the book of
- 4:05Yeshua called Revelation. The land narrative does not
- 4:11begin with Abraham, Yitzhak, Yaokov and the tribes of Israel,
- 4:21but it begins with the viceroys of God, Adam and Hava, non Jews
- 4:27and the parents of every ethnic people in the world.
- 4:33Living in Ghan Eden. In concert with the theme of
- 4:40Haaretz or the land in the Holy Scriptures is also the zenith
- 4:47motif of the coming Zerah, the coming seed of woman, the
- 4:55champion and the Messiah. The Messiah of Israel prophesied
- 5:01to face the champion of the serpent who tempted our parents
- 5:06Adam and Hava to sin in the Holy Land, and that's found in
- 5:12Genesis chapter 3. God created an image of Himself
- 5:17and placed Adam place man in His preeminent Gan Eden to keep it
- 5:24and to guard and to cultivate His Holy Land.
- 5:28Disobedience to God's law would result in immediate spiritual
- 5:33death, later physical death, and also extermination of man from
- 5:39the good land. Sadly, this was the experience
- 5:44of Adam and Khava. Their disobedience was not only
- 5:48their demise, but also the death of the human race and the world
- 5:54God had created for his monarchs.
- 5:58Adam and Khava were deported from Paradise, and at the
- 6:02entrance to the holy estate of God's Presence he stationed
- 6:08cherubim and a flaming sword to guard against re entry.
- 6:16Perhaps it was there at the gate of Ghan Eden between the
- 6:22cherubim, that Adam and his posterity offered their blood
- 6:29sacrifices to Elohim. Moshe wrote of Havel and his
- 6:36brother Kaim, who brought their sacrifices to the prescribed
- 6:42place to be presented to God, to Elohim.
- 6:49Havel's sacrifice was accepted by Elohim, but Kaim sacrifice
- 6:55was rejected, as was Kaim. That altar for blood sacrifice
- 7:00was where man found mercy and forgiveness.
- 7:05Now the exact location of the altar is unknown, although it
- 7:11certainly could have been the same geographical place where
- 7:17cherubim had been positioned. Later, Yahushua owned the
- 7:25precipice of entering the Promised Land with Israel, met
- 7:33the captain of the Lord's host, who held a flaming sword in his
- 7:38hand to guard the way as found in Joshua chapter 5.
- 7:45Elohim would soon demand that his Kohen Gadol, his High
- 7:50Priest, enter His presence back in the Kodish Kodishim of the
- 7:56Holy of Holies and enter His presence not without atoning
- 8:03blood that would be sprinkled between the Cherubim on the
- 8:09Mercy seat of the Oron Habrite, the Ark of the Covenant.
- 8:16The immediate audience to which the author Moshe was riding
- 8:21concerning this horrific tragedy of Adam and Khava and their
- 8:26posterity was second generation Israel who was to inherit the
- 8:32Holy Land, the Promised Land, the Israel who had left the
- 8:37Mizrahim or who had left Egypt. They all died in the wilderness
- 8:43with the exception of Yahushua and Kalev, whom we call Caleb.
- 8:50It was second generation Israel who would be God's new sovereign
- 8:56monarchs of His land, God's new image bearers to bless all the
- 9:04peoples of the earth out from the Kingdom, His Kingdom in the
- 9:11Holy Land. Israel was God's chosen people,
- 9:16chosen before the foundation of the world.
- 9:19The Kohen Gadol or the high priest of Israel was the holiest
- 9:22man among men of Israel. In fact, the Kohen Gadol, the
- 9:26high priest, was the holiest man of humanity.
- 9:30The Kohen Gadol, the high priest, the great priest dressed
- 9:34in white from head to toe with bare feet, a mitre on his head
- 9:40that read Kados Jehovah or Holy to Jehovah.
- 9:45He would enter the Tabernacle, the Mishkan, and later the
- 9:49Temple to visit Elohim, the same Elohim of Ghan Eden.
- 9:56Once a year, behind the veil in the Kodish Kodishim, or the Holy
- 10:02of Holies, the High Priest, the Kohengadol, would offer a blood
- 10:08sacrifice upon the Caporet, upon the Mercy seat of the Oron
- 10:14Habrite, the Ark of the Covenant.
- 10:17The Cohen Gadol was the new Adam, he was the new image of
- 10:23God on the earth, and he would sprinkle blood between the wings
- 10:28of the two cherubim, just as the sons of Adam had done in the
- 10:34beginning outside the gate of Gand Eden where the cherubim had
- 10:41been placed to guard reentry to God's presence.
- 10:48Living outside the good land, Gan Eden, the Garden of God
- 10:53meant death. Pradam and Khava and all of
- 10:57their family and all of their descendants.
- 11:00Brother would kill brother as Cayenne kill Havel.
- 11:04Sin multiplied in the Satan or the Adversary.
- 11:08The devil usurped the genome of humans to cause Nephilim to be
- 11:13born, and this was his sinister and diabolical attempt to
- 11:19corrupt the human blood strain through which the coming
- 11:24Champion, the Zerah, the Seed of woman, would be born.
- 11:32It was necessary that the Zerah, the seed of Woman, the Champion
- 11:37of man, would be entirely human if he was to redeem humanity.
- 11:43This champion was the Son of Man, the Son of God, the Messiah
- 11:51of Israel. In only a few generations, the
- 11:55entire earth was so bedeviled and heinous that Elohim washed
- 12:00the world clean by destroying it, but only after first
- 12:05preserving Noah and his wife, their three sons, and their
- 12:10wives aboard an ark of refuge. The genome of the human race was
- 12:18preserved and conserved for the incarnation of God's Messiah.
- 12:24The Holy Scriptures tell us that the descendants of Adam and
- 12:29Khava, via the lineage of Shem, Kham and Yephet, the sons of
- 12:36Noak who survived the flood, began migrating eastward, away
- 12:42from the Gate of Eden, away from the divine presence of Elohim,
- 12:49away from the Cherubim that were placed at the entry of Ghan
- 12:54Eden, and away from the Holy Land.
- 12:58The world journeyed east to the land of Shinar.
- 13:03Genesis Chapter 11. There the people of the earth
- 13:07formed a community who sought to build an astronomical sphere or
- 13:14a path of the heavens. Elohim spoke that they should go
- 13:21down and disrupt the Pagan plan of humanity, and God confused
- 13:28their solitary tongue and caused the people of the earth to speak
- 13:33in other tongues. Genesis 11/3 through 9 In the
- 13:39East, the landlord of the Holy Land found a man named Avram,
- 13:49and the landlord called that man Avram back westward to the land.
- 13:57Genesis 12 God promised Avram that he and his seed would be
- 14:04innumerable. They would become like the
- 14:06stars. They would be a blessing to all
- 14:09the families of the earth from out of His Holy Land, the land
- 14:16that He would show them in Hebrew, the definite article Ha
- 14:23or thee exist with Eruts ha Eruts meaning the land.
- 14:31God called Avram to follow Him to the land, a special estate
- 14:38Elohim had in mind from the beginning.
- 14:43God Elohim cut an unconditional covenant with Avram and with His
- 14:49seed, promising them many blessings, a name, the land, to
- 14:55become a great nation, to be blessed and to be a blessing.
- 15:01Avram and his people would be the source of divine blessings
- 15:05to all the families of the earth.
- 15:08In essence, Avram became God's new Adam.
- 15:13Avram was the new image of God on earth.
- 15:16He was to bless all the families of the earth out from the Holy
- 15:21Land of the landlord. Genesis chapter 12.
- 15:27God's covenant with Avraham, promising him his Holy Land, was
- 15:34reiterated to Avraham's son Yitzhak, Genesis 26, and then to
- 15:43his grandson Yaakov, Genesis 28 to 32.
- 15:50It was Yaakov who entered the Land, although prior to his
- 15:54entry he had a dreadful dream at a place called Beitel, meaning
- 15:59House of L, House of Elohim. Yaakov considered Beitel in the
- 16:06Holy Land to be the gate of Heaven.
- 16:10Let me read Genesis 2817. And he, Yaakov, was afraid.
- 16:16And he said, how awesome is this place?
- 16:20This is none other than the House of God, Bait El.
- 16:25This is the gate of heaven. In his dream, Elohim's house,
- 16:33Bait El in the Land of Israel was the doorway to a certain
- 16:39spiritual feature or a spiritual dimension.
- 16:45Yaakov saw a ladder, and that ladder reached from earth to
- 16:50heaven, and he saw angels that were ascending, going up and
- 16:57descending, coming down the ladder.
- 17:01It was at this dreadful place, Beit El in the Holy Land, that
- 17:07Elohim reiterated to Yaakov the promise he had made to his
- 17:12father, Yiska Isaac, and to his grandfather Avraham.
- 17:18The promise of Jehovah to Yaakov was our ereps, the Land.
- 17:27Yaakov journeyed east and came to the land of the Sons of the
- 17:31East. However, in God's time and
- 17:33through a plot of deception by Levan, Lavon, or we call him
- 17:39Laban, was the father-in-law of Yaakov.
- 17:42And perhaps in retribution for Yaakov's deception toward Esau,
- 17:49Elohim forced Yaakov back to the promised Holy Land at Yabok,
- 17:55which means in Hebrew to pour out, and which was a tributary
- 18:00of the Jordan River. A man, God and the Angel
- 18:10wrestled with Yaakov all the dark night until dawn.
- 18:18And that story is given to us in Genesis 32A.
- 18:22Man, Moses said, the author said, wrestled with Yaakov.
- 18:28In the story, Yaakov, the protagonist, called him Elohim.
- 18:33And Hosea Pushyenu chapter 12 verse 4 called him an Angel.
- 18:40Interesting. A man slash God slash Angel
- 18:44wrestled with Yaakov. Yaakov professed after the all
- 18:50night death March that he had seen Elohim who had given him a
- 18:54new name, and that name was Israel.
- 18:59This appellation would soon be applied to Yaakov's dozen sons
- 19:06who came to be called Israel. Later, the name Israel was given
- 19:13to this special estate that the 12 tribes inherited, the Holy
- 19:19Land of Israel. They were living in God's
- 19:25backyard. Yaakov, with his boys and his
- 19:29daughter Dina, lived in the Holy Land until Yaakov was forced by
- 19:34famine to leave the Land of the Covenant and find solace in the
- 19:40land of Mitraim or the land of Egypt, under the auspices of
- 19:47Yaakov's favorite son, which was Yosef.
- 19:52Yosef had earlier been falsely judged and accused by his
- 19:57jealous brothers who placed him in a pit, sold him to the
- 20:02Midianites, and it was his brother Judah or Judah that led
- 20:11their betrayal. For 20 pieces of silver, he was
- 20:15sold to the Midianites. Yet Elohim resurrected his man
- 20:22Yosef out of the pit to become the Prime Minister of Mitraim,
- 20:29the Prime Minister of Egypt, and all of this was a thread in the
- 20:34majestic and providential plan of God.
- 20:40Israel and the 12 tribes prospered greatly in Mitraim in
- 20:47Egypt. Yet there Yaakov died, but not
- 20:51before he first gathered his sons to his bed so that he might
- 20:57pronounce upon them each one. Tribal blessings to occur in the
- 21:04Akrit Hayamim are the last days. The 12 tribes would not be lost,
- 21:14They would be regathered to the Holy Land of Israel.
- 21:19Yaakov's last words were prophetic concerning the Holy
- 21:24Estate. Elohim had promised both he and
- 21:29his posterity, and this promise also meant that Yaakov would
- 21:34rise from the dead to love and to enjoy God's bequest.
- 21:39Thus, Yaakov's last request was Bring my bones with you when you
- 21:46go to the promised Holy Land. Now why would he say that?
- 21:51Because Yaakov intended to be resurrected after Yaakov's
- 21:57death. Israel, living in Mishraim, came
- 22:03under the horrendous brutality of a new pharaoh of Mizraim, a
- 22:09new pharaoh of Egypt who did not esteem Yosef or his father
- 22:14Yaokov, or the descendants of Israel.
- 22:18For 400 years the children of Israel were oppressed and they
- 22:22cried for help. And then came the deliverer
- 22:27Moshe, who led them out from Mizraim, out from the Land of
- 22:33Ham, to return to their land, the Promised Land, as stipulated
- 22:38by the Abrahamic Covenant. Israel was not merely being
- 22:44rescued from the land, but they were being rescued to be
- 22:48restored to a land, Haareps the land, the Promised Land.
- 22:59The landlord watches over his land and because of Israel's
- 23:02rebellion and disobedience while on their aliyah going up to the
- 23:08Promised Land, their entrance into his estate was withheld
- 23:13them for 40 years. One must say, you don't just
- 23:18lollygag into God's backyard. That first generation died in
- 23:27the desert. The Holy Land had been promised
- 23:32to Israel, but the Israel of the Exodus did not inherit it.
- 23:38This truth is very important because it is the answer to the
- 23:43question, Does Israel receive the bequeathed land of promise
- 23:50without conditions? He might even ask, living in
- 23:562026, does modern Israel receive the Holy Land regardless of the
- 24:04conditions? Near 1400 BC, under General
- 24:10Yahushua, who had earlier met the captain of Yehovah's host,
- 24:16Israel entered the land for the first time in 40 years.
- 24:22They observed Pesoc or Passover, which they had not observed
- 24:26since the Passover in Mizraham, the Passover in Egypt.
- 24:33Israel conquered the Promised Land that Elohim had pledged
- 24:38them, and with the bequest of the Holy Land came Elohim's
- 24:43warning that they must choose life, not death.
- 24:50If Israel remained obedient to His Law while living in His
- 24:57land, well, they would become the new atoms of the earth.
- 25:02They would live without want, and they would bless the
- 25:06families of the earth. But if they disobeyed His Law
- 25:10while living in His land, God would exile them in chains,
- 25:17nakedness, and peril, and do to them worse than He would do to
- 25:23the nations. Deuteronomy 3015 to 20.
- 25:29There were conditions for Israel to enter and live and remain in
- 25:36Elohim's Holy Land, the land that God had promised Avraham
- 25:43and his descendants. There were conditions Elohim had
- 25:48promised the land to Israel and Israel is going to inherit the
- 25:54blessings forever. Yet there are conditions for
- 25:59Israel to inherit and remain and be secure in the land.
- 26:08God was patient through Israel's sin cycle.
- 26:13Israel sinned. God sent adversaries as
- 26:16judgment. Israel repented and cried for
- 26:18deliverance, and Elohim sent a chauffeet, a judge, a military
- 26:23deliverer to save them. God had declared his purpose.
- 26:27Judah. Judah shall go up.
- 26:31Judah, behold, I've given the land unto his hand, Judah.
- 26:35So Elohim's covenant with Avraham remained unconditional.
- 26:41He was going to see to it. He is going to see to it.
- 26:46However, during those 300 years, Israel plunged from victory to
- 26:52defeat to obscurity. Then Elohim sent famine to the
- 26:57land. You can read about that in the
- 26:59books of Judges and Ruth. Many Hebrews left the land,
- 27:06their inheritance, to sojourn outside the land to survive,
- 27:11although it was to their death or demise outside the promised
- 27:17land, God's chosen people, they were not safe.
- 27:21In fact, Ellie Melek Ellie Melek and his wife Naomi left the
- 27:26land, as did their sons who were the husbands of Urpa and Urud.
- 27:33These men died. God had promised that Yehuda was
- 27:38to be preeminent in the inheritance of the land, and the
- 27:42Judahite Prince Boaz married O Ruth.
- 27:46Together they gave birth to Ovid, who was the father of
- 27:50Yesi, who was the father of Davi, the Judahite king, to
- 27:53inherit the land of Israel with the people of Israel.
- 28:01For the next several weeks, I am going to be sharing with you
- 28:04from my book, Yeshua's Israel. Do the ancient Holy Scriptures
- 28:11validate the modern Jewish and Palestinian claim to the Holy
- 28:17Land? Zionists claim the land is our
- 28:21land. The Palestinians claim the land
- 28:25is our land. Many Christians are making the
- 28:29claim concerning modern Israel. The land is their land.
- 28:35But what does Jehovah, the God of Israel, the God of
- 28:39Christianity, the God of the Bible, the God, what does he
- 28:44say? And he says the land belongs to
- 28:46me, and it belongs to whom I've given it, and I have given it to
- 28:51my son Yeshua and his remnant Israel.
- 28:55There are biblical requirements to inherit the Holy Land.
- 29:00This program is a production of Messianic Ministry to Israel.
