  Speaker 1: Word of God has to say on authentic immentationology. The

  Speaker 1: idea behind authentic imitationology is, try to imitate the most
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: successful person who has ever lived on this whole entire planet,

• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the big deal about Israel? Respectfully, that's the question that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: we're going to try to tackle this morning, and it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a big question loaded question. Amen. So before I get
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: into my opinions about Israel, I first get into the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Word and what God says about Israel and Man, I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: think that's the most safest thing to do, especially in
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the delicate situation that we're facing right now when it
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: comes to the nation of Israel. Amen, people are talking.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about Israel. Why because that's God's That's God's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: plan for the nation of Israel. What's God's plan. We're

  Speaker 1: going to see that in a minute, a glimpse, a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: snapshot of what that means and what that is. Amen.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So of course I can't get in too much depth
• 2:07

• 2:09
  Speaker 1: focusing on Isaiah chapter forty nine, verse number six, Isaiah
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the Prophet, Chapter forty nine, verse number six. What's the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: big deal about Israel? Whether viewed through Jewish or Christian lenses,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Israel holds a central role in understanding God's work in history.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: What God did in the past is his resume of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: whatay he kids do in the future and his plans
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: for the future. Right when you look at the word
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of God concerning the nation of Israel. You look at
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the history of what God was doing and what God
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is going to do in the future. Concerning the nation
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of Israel, very important to look at. It's gonna be
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in our faces until the Lord comes back. It's going
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to be all over the news all the time. Nation
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of Israel. What's going on over there in the Middle East?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: People are like, man, Israel, such a small nation, small
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: state size of New Jersey, surrounded by enemies. What are
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they still doing on the planet? Amen? You ever thought
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: about that, a small nation size of Israel still on
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the planet. People might say, well, we keep on helping them,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and these people keep on helping them. That's why they're
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: still there. Amen, that's part of it, part of the plan. Right.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But God has something to say, and he spoke through
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah forty nine, Chapter forty nine, verse
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: number six. We're going to be there today in the morning, Devo.

• 4:00
  Speaker 1: we're putting out more content than we're paying for. So

  Speaker 1: that's a good it's a good problem. That means God
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: is growing the network. God is attracting more listeners Amen,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to the radio network. But it means also that I'm
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: gonna have to pay out more for the ministry to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: continue going. It's a good it's a good problem. Amen.
• 4:20

  Speaker 1: doing with the ministry right and trust God that he
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: will cover help me cover the costs. Amen. It's a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: technical issue. It's something that in other words, I pay

  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one. Wow, we're here. I'll be right back. Hey, man,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: let's go for what's the big deal about Israel. That's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a question. It's respectfully. I'm not taking shots or anything.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I know the question is loaded. Amen, But that's a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: question that the Lord. I brought to the Lord literally
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and I was like, man, there's a lot of news
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: going on about what's going on in the nation of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Israel and the surrounding nations, like what's going on? And man,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: is this something that we're gonna have to face on
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a day to day. It's something that we should be
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: concerned or worried about, worried about, think about it. Amen.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: So I said, let me just ask the question or
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: remain silid, and you know, rely on Holy Spirit to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: direct me into the scriptures. And Amen. He headed me
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: towards the Prophet Isaiah. Thank you Jerusalem, World Evangelism Outreach,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: New Jerusalem. Thank you Lord for that ministry. In that
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: group that allows me to share my ministry are their group.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: They have a large group of people. Amen. So let's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: go for it. Let's see what we're gonna see in
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the world of God right now as we move forward, Amen,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: into today's topic, and let me get this over. What's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the big deal about Israel? Respectfully, it's not a disrespectful
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: way of asking the question, I know, it's huge. Well
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: let's see what the prophet said. Amen, Let's leave it
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to the prophet and what he had going on and
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: what he said Isaiah forty nine and verse number six.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: He says, it is too trivial a thing that you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: should be my servant to raise up the tribes of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel. I will
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: also make you a light to the nations, that my
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: salvation may reach to the end of the earth. So
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: who's the Lord's salvation? Who's the Father of salvation? Who
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: did the Father send? Who was sent to the nations? Amen?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Think about it. The prophet Isaiah eight hundred years or
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: more right, prophet signed about a coming savior, a coming
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: lights to the nations that will reach the nation of
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Israel and extend to the ends of the earth. Think
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: about who that is, Amen. I mean, I know, you know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: if you're a believer or a Christian, even if you're not
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: a Christian, and you look at the historical prophecy from
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Isaiah chapter forty nine, you'll be like, wait a minute,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: this is concerning It looks like it's speaking of the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. Amen, sister Joanne, I see you. Good morning,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: God bless you. Welcome back to the morning. Devo my system,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: my friend. So we have the prophet speaking towards the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: future that we're living in, right because the prophet prophesies
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: from what they're speaking to somewhere in the future. Amen,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I believe we're in that future time right now. I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: believe the prophecy all throughout the scripture, all the prophecies
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: are coming to pass, and some of them, scholars say,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: like over three hundred prophecies have been fulfilled already. That's
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a boy. A lot of preachers, a lot of scholars,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of evangelists are saying Jesus could crack the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: sky any moment and come and return. Amen. On the cross.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Scholars say that three hundred prophecies were completed when Jesus
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: went on that cross, Amen, died and rose again. Prophecy
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: all around that through the scripture, All through the scripture,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the prophecies fulfilled. So who is this light to the nations?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about it? Again? I will also
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: make you a light for the gentiles, those who are
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: not from the land of Israel, those who are not Hebrew. Amen,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Israel was meant to reflect God's character. Israel was meant,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, to reflect God's character and show the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: world the way to the Savior, the way to the Messiah.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: So I know a lot of people want to poke
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and point fingers at Israel. What's going on over there,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: including myself. I have thisscussions with friends and I'm like,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: those don't even those don't even look like the nation
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: of Israel. Those don't even look like the people that's
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: described in the scriptures. Why, maybe they're just rebelling. Maybe
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: those people are not lining up with what God is
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: doing in their lives personally. But for sure, Israel was
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: meant to reflect God's character and show the world the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: way to the Savior. So through Israel came to scriptures undeniable.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people think, oh, the scriptures
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: are European things. The Bible is of European construct Some
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: people say it's a white man's religion. Well, if that
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was so, then there would be white men all throughout
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the scriptures. And it's hard to find construct of white
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: men through the scriptures. Right, you would see Egyptians. You
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: would see Israel lights of course, you would see people
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: from Iran, Iraq, all the Middle Eastern countries, and take
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: a look of how they look right now, and it
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: gives you a clue of how they should have looked
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: back when the scriptures were written. And so European. No,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it wasn't European as a matter of fact, when the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: scriptures were out, there was no Europe yet. So when
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the scriptures first came out, right, so we could kind
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of like look at it like that through the lens
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of a Christian. If you're a Hebrew, Amen, you know
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: when I'm talking about this history that's described all through
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the scriptures, concerned in Israel, concern in the Middle East,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: that's where it started. The Scriptures came from Israel, the prophets,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and ultimately Jesus showed up historically, right, And this is
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: all up for research. Research. What I'm saying, hey, man,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: don't take my word for it. If you don't believe me,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: go to the scriptures. God has a way of revealing
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: himself and revealing the truth to you personally. When you
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: are seeking after truth with your heart like you're sincere,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: you want to know what's the big deal about Israel.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: You want to know who is this light of salvation.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You want to know where did the scriptures actually come from?
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: You want to know why is there always wars over
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: there in that side of the world. If you want
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to know that, God will reveal the answers to that
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: through his scriptures. Right, this is not a made up thing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: This is not for control like people think. Oh, you
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: know the Bible is meant to control people. No evil
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: men used a holy Bible to control people. God's message
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to us, it's a message of freedom, hope, salvation, redemption, right,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: duel transformation. God's message to us is that we messed
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: up Genesis chapter three, but he came to redeem what
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: we messed up at He came to restore what we lost. Amen.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: All throughout the scriptures you'll see that theme. Until from
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Genesis all the way to Revelation you'll see it. Amen.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: So Israel very important? Why because God's Covenant promises. When
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: God promises something, those promises are all yay and Amen. Yes,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the promises of God are going to come to pass.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Cannot stop. I Actually, we're in prayer meetings with some
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: people throughout we have valley where I'm broadcasting from that
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: were kind of like praying against the prophecy of God
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: over the land of Israel. It's weird. And I was
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: praying and I stopped because I was like, are we
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: praying against what's going to happen? Trying to extend the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: time or whatever? Because what God says and his word
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: is going to happen. The prophecies are going to come
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to pass. So it don't matter if you have one
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: hundred people praying for Israel to go against the prophecies. Amen.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to pray for peace, Amen, for the land
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: of Israel, not that the prophecies will disappear. That was
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a weird prayer meeting that was on that I was
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in that day, and I even started, if you know me,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I started asking questions like, wait a minute, what did
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: we just pray against the prophecy? Amen? And then people
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: were answering all different ways. Some were being honest and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: some will not. So Israel is very important because God's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: coming and promises their role in revealing God to the nations. Right,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: no matter how you spent it, Israel was used in
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: being used to this very day by God to reveal
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the Holy Loving righteous, loving God to the nations, the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and their connection to
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the Messiah and antime prophecies. There's no way around it. Amen. Actually,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: not too long ago, there was a so called messiah
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: walking through the Middle East and people saying that that
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: was the Messiah. I haven't heard from that man yet,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: right since? Why? Because he's not the true Messiah. We're
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: gonna know when Jesus right, the completion of the Father
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: a man, the completion of the prophets, the completion of
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord. He's going to crack open the sky. He's
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: going to make his entry triumphant entry. He's not going
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to be just walking through the middle of East saying, Hey,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I'm the Messiah. Jesus warned about false messiahs. He said,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: many will come in my name saying that they're the Messiah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: But there's only one true, living, holy, righteous, loving Messiah.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: That's the Lord Jesus Christ. So we have what we
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: need through scriptures concerning the question is what's the big
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: deal about Israel? Right? Israel rolling the end times. Israel's
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: rolling the end times. If you want to check it
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: out for yourself. Revelation chapter seven read that for yourself
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: and Revelation chapter twenty one. And in the Book of
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Romans chapter eleven, Paul writes that God is not done
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: with Israel. Very important statement that the apostle Paul makes
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in the New Covenant, because a lot of people say, oh,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Israel's only spoken about in the Old Covenant, and that's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: not true if you read the scriptures. Yes, the introduction
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: to the whole Israel nation and what's happening in the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Middle East, all those things were happening in the Old Covenant. Yes,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and then that's great to know the history. And then
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: you get into the New Covenant, and the very first
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: book of the New Covenant, the Book of Matthew, right
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: goes through the genealogy of the historical families and the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: fathers and everything, and it goes through the whole generational thing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Unto Jesus, Amen shows up the perfect time. So Revelation,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the last book of the Bible, includes Israel prominently in
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the end times and the New Jerusalem, because we're all
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: looking at the Jerusalem right now where there's coming a
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: time when it's going to be a new Jerusalem has
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: twelve gates named after the tribes of Israel. Revelation twenty
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: one and twelve. If you get on this prophecy and
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you get on this question, what's the big deal about Israel,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: You'll be there for a while if that's the road
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you want to take. But make sure you stay focused
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: on the Messiah that came from those nations, from that nation. Amen,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the Lord gi himself the Messiah from Israel. Isaiah chapter nine,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: verses six and seven. Very important prophecy. When the prophet
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: said there's one coming right to save the world paraphrasing, Amen,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: prophets foretold a Messiah who would come from the line
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: of David's specific prophecy in Bethlehem of Judah, very specific.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: People say, well, that was a random prophecy. No, it wasn't.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: It was appointed directed, intentional pinpointed prophecy. Christians believe Jesus
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: is that Messiah fulfilling these prophecies. Why do we believe
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that the prophet Isaiah was talking about the Lord because
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord showed up and proved that the prophecy was accurate. Amen.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: If we didn't have no historical Jesus, we wouldn't have
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: accurate prophecy from the prophet. Think about it. There's no Jesus.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: There's no completed prophecies. But Isaiah, eight hundred plus years
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: before the Lord steps on the scene, showed up. Amen.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: So that proves that prophetic voices that God was using,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the Father was using in the Old Covenant a Man
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: were proven to be true in the New Covenant. Amen.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: The Land of Promise Genesis, chapter fifteen, verse eighteen. God
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: promised the land of Canaan to Abraham's descendants. We are
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: part of Abraham's promise. Amen, because Christians, we all know
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that Abraham is the father of faith. That's what the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: scriptures reveal if you look at it clearly. It became
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: known as the Promised Land, and possessing it was tied
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: to the obedience to God. We wanted to possess the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Promised Land according to how God spoke the Covenant promise
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to Abraham. Israel has to be obedient, and something that
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: would have took two to four weeks of travel took
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: the Israelites forty I think forty plus years of forty
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: years going in circles, Amen, because of lack of obedience.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: How many of us haven't been obedient and we're taking
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: so long to get to the Promised Land? In our lives. Amen.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: So we can't just say, oh, those Israelites were disobedient
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: at the look in the mirror and say, am I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: being obedient today? Amen. So we can't look at history
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: in the scriptures and blame those people, blame those people,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: those blame without looking at ourselves in the mirror, because
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: now we have the blueprint. Now we know the consequences
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: of disobedience. Now we know the historical facts all through
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: the scripture. To not repeat the same mistakes that we're
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: done in the old Covenant. Jesus shows up to show
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: us the way, the truth, and the life which is him.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: And he shows us a new path, a new way,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a new covenant. Amen. And he completes the profits, He
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: completes the scriptures. Amen, he completes the law. So we
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: have the completion of Yahweh is Jesus Israel as God's
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: chosen nation. A lot of people don't like that. What
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: do you mean, Israel? It should have been this, it
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: should have been that. Why it has to be Israel? Well,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: that's God's ideas, God's business. You want to know why.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Juteronomy chapter seven. Read the chapter for yourself. I'm just
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: citing the scriptures, man, because you got to study this out.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: The Lord your God has chosen you out of all
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the peoples on the face of the earth, to be
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: his people. Hey, man, it's God's business. If you wanted
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to choose another nation, he would have chosen another nation.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: For his reasons. He chose the nation of Israel, not
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: chosen because of their big greatness. Right. Remember I told
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you Israel's the size of New Jersey. It was because
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: God's love and God's faithfulness chose we wanted to choose. Amen.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Israel was called to represent God's holiness, his justice, and
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: mercy to the world. I know it's these are big,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: big ideas. Big, oh man, it's a big task. So
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there there's a lot of pressure
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: over there. But God chose the land of Israel. People
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: made a covenant to the nation, and God's covenant started
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: with Abraham. So let's back it up Genesis chapter twelve.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: You'll see it in there. God called Abraham and made
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a covenant with Abraham. I will make you into a
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: great nation. This is before the law, right before the prophets,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: God said that to Abraham. Amen. So whatever side you
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: see yourself, I know, and politics people are going out
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: there with signs and say Israel is doing this and
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Israel's doing that. On one side of the table saying
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: we have to stick with Israel. The other sides like
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: we don't want no parts of Israel. Amen, But what
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: does the word say. It's policies and politics on one thing,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: but the truth of God's word is completely different. Amen.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: It's it's part of the issue in politics, but it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: not the whole answer. The whole answer is found in
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the word of God, the one who created the nation.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't we go to the source and find out
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: what's the big deal about Israel instead of going through
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: you know, other channels to find that answer. Amen. Central
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: nation has the original redemptive plan for the world. Right.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: It's spoken throughout the whole Biblical narrative, the whole scriptures, Amen,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: from Genesis to Revelation. And that's why God is using
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: what he said. Like, God doesn't go back on his word.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I was mistaken or I
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: changed my mind. I'm not going to use that nation
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: no more. No, it's already written. So what's going to
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: happen is prophesied already. Amen. Pray for the peace of Israel,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: prayed for the peace in the Middle East. Why not.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: There's no issue with praying for peace. But if you're
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: trying to pray against the prophecies, you're not going to
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: have any success in that. God's word already speaks over it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: And we could use what God prophesied over his nation. Amen.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: We could use that in our lives personally right now
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: if we think about it. So, if God promised the
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: nation of Israel these promises, and we are the children
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of the promise, Amen, we're part of that promise. We're
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: part of that covenant. We're part of that journey. Amen.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: That's why suffering is going to be involved. There's no
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: way around it. Amen. But the good news is that
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Jesus coming back. He's coming back soon for his bride,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: for his children. Amen. Not as a diplomat or not
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: as someone who's going to offer salvation, but as a savior,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the king of kings and the Lord of lords. He's
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: coming back soon. Are you ready? The big deal about Israel?
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Go to the scriptures and you'll find an answer to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: all of it in Jesus name, right, God bless you all.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Got to keep you all and remember always that God's good.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Have a great weekend, Love you all, Peace,
