00:52 - Speaker 2
Psalm 14, verse 7. On that, the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion. When the Lord brings back the captivity of His people. Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad. Israel, god is your Messiah, god is your salvation. By the way, that's true for everybody. But he started by revealing Himself to Israel and he will finish by revealing Himself to Israel. Verse 22, 18,. In your seed descendants, all the nations of the earth shall be blessed because you have obeyed my voice. Psalm 22, verse 27,. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. That is interesting. All the ends of the world, that's non-Jews, shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before me, before you, the Lord.

01:49
Isaiah 49, verse 6. Indeed, he says it is too small a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel. Think about how. Go after service today and find how many times Israel appears in your Bible, or Palestine. I will also give you as a light to the Gentiles, jack. It says, jack, right there in small print, that you should be my salvation to the ends of the earth. They're going to fulfill that.

02:23
By the way, during the seven year tribulation period, they're going to fulfill that passage. The Jews will be a bunch of billy grams and Paul the Apostles all wrapped up into one. Can you imagine You're going to just ma'am. There's going to be Jews running around telling the world the good news that God saves. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Can you imagine Paul the Apostle with the internet? What if Paul the Apostle had a Twitter page? Look what he did and he didn't have any of that. Isn't it amazing? The guy preached to the known world and he didn't have a plane. Can you imagine? Okay, here we go, I'm going to preach to the ends of the earth, but that's what he did. Jesus never traveled more than 200 miles. The Apostle I forget the number, but it's in the thousands and thousands of miles. 2000 years ago.

03:22
Daniel 7, verse 14,. Then to him was given dominion. This is of the Messiah no-transcript and glory and a kingdom that all peoples, nations and languages should serve Him. This is what's coming people in the future. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall never pass away in His kingdom, the one which shall never be destroyed. That's the team I'm playing for.

03:48
Isaiah 60, isaiah 60, arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and deep darkness the people. But the Lord will arise over you and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light. He's speaking about Israel and kings to the brightness of your rising. God is doing a work.

04:18
I know it looks horrible right now and according to the Bible, according to the scriptures, there's terrible days ahead, but Israel will never cease to exist. God says so. Amos 9, 15 says no matter what's going on in Israel, no matter how many people die, israel will never again cease to be Israel. It may be brought under great attack, but it's never gonna go away, never. And Islam's got a huge disappointment coming. No, I'm not being funny. I believe God's gonna use that to open up the eyes of Muslims.

04:52
By the way, right now, listen, I've been on the phone all week. I've been talking to people in Israel. Listen, there are so many people, so many Jews, that are talking now to their believing Jewish friends and family saying tell us about Bible prophecy. Listen, tell us about Yeshua. Tell us again, tell us again. Jews are coming to Christ. Listen, islam? I know it doesn't feel like it. Islam is losing converts. More Muslims are coming to Christ than any other time in history. God has a name Yah is his name, yahweh salvation. Where's God in all these things?

05:32
Psalm two, verse one why do the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together. Set themselves together against the Lord there's his name, Yah and against whoop. What Against his what? Oh, no, listen, my Jewish friends, we got a problem. Now. This is King David talking to us. Take counsel together against the Lord and his anointed. The one anointed is the word also translated, messiah, or Deliverer, or we use the word savior. That implies in the Hebrew that the Lord is gonna send to the earth, first to Israel, a savior.

06:26
Just from this Psalm, right here, are you guys with me? Yes, well, let's go on. Let us break their bonds and pieces and cast away their cords from us. That's what the crazies are saying. Well, verse four he who sits in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then he shall speak to them in his wrath and distress them in his deep displeasure.

06:50
Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion, I will declare the decree. The Lord has said to me Okay, stop, the Lord is the same one that's in verse two and the me is the same one. That is the anointed. Y'all get that, mark it down, it's not hard. You are my son. Today I have begotten or glorified. You Ask of me who the Lord and I will give you who the anointed one, the nations for your inheritance and the ends of the earth for your possession.

07:36
Just file that away, my friends. If you're a Muslim, if you're Jewish or if you're a Christian, you're not sure what you believe File that away. This is serious. Hosea 514. Hosea 514. I will be like a lion to Israel, like a strong young lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces, I will carry them off and no one will be left to rescue them. This is God speaking. Then I will return to my place until they admit their guilt to me and turn to me, for as soon as trouble comes, they will earnestly search for me. That's being lived out right now.

08:18
You ever heard of the Holocaust? The book of Deuteronomy, chapter 28, talks about the Holocaust. It didn't have to happen, but guess what God says you don't want me, then I'll leave you alone to the desires of the world. Now I'm going to wait. I'll wait until you invite me back. Sound familiar Christian Jesus said I stand at the door of your heart and I knock. Listen, if Jesus was a religion, he would knock the door down. He's not a religion. You open the door. I have to finish this.

08:59
What's possibly next? I'm in a massive national pastor's thread text thread. I just simply said last Sunday. I said well, now would be a good time to keep your eye on Damascus. They said what in the world are you talking about? I said you go read Isaiah 17 and Jeremiah 49, and you tell me what's going on.

09:33
Lo and behold, later this week Israel had to bomb the runways of the airport at Damascus and Aleppo because Russia was flying in military arms to Tehran and then Tehran was flying them from Iran over to Damascus and Aleppo to supply Hezbollah weaponry. So Israel took out the runways so they couldn't continue to bring the armaments. Here's what's. Listen. What does the Bible say about this? Listen, damascus has been one of the longest, oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world in human existence. Damascus is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. It's been inhabited since its creation, are you hearing me? It's never been abandoned. It's been attacked, it's been taken captive, but it's always had people there. So this is what I'm looking for.

10:33
I wouldn't doubt at any time Isaiah 17, one the burden against Damascus. Behold, damascus will cease from being a city and it will be a ruinous heap. Jeremiah 49, 26 goes on to say about it. Therefore, her young men shall fall in the streets and all the men of war shall be cut off. In that day, says the Lord of hosts, here it is, I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus and it shall consume the palaces of Ben Haddad. Ben Haddad is the leadership. The word ruinous heap means uninhabitable. Boy, that oughta just get you pumped. We don't wish the demise of anything, but Bible prophecy will happen.

11:17
What in the world was King David talking about when he said ready? Psalm 22, verse 16, for dogs? That's a word for Gentiles have surrounded me. Notice capital M. It's speaking about deity. Somebody is speaking and they're important. It's either the Lord or the anointed one. The congregation of the wicked has enclosed me. This is David. They pierced my hands and my feet. They never pierced David's hands in his feet. Just think for a moment. Who in history is famous for having their hands and their feet pierced?

11:57
What in the world was the prophet Isaiah talking about when he said Isaiah 714,. Therefore, the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Emmanuel. You know what Emmanuel means? God is among us. Isaiah 9, verse 6, for unto us a child is born. Who cares? Babies are born all the time? Unto us, a son is given. Wait, what are we talking about? Somebody donated a son. What do you mean? Well, let's find out, and the government will be upon his shoulder. His name will be called wonderful counselor, mighty God. The word everlasting father is the one who governs time, the one that possesses and governs time, the Prince of Peace. Does that remind you of anybody, you guys? I'm reading from the Hebrew Scriptures.

12:58
What in the world was Moses thinking about when, in Deuteronomy 1815, he said the Lord, your God, will raise up for you a prophet like me, from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear. What does that mean? Moses is saying someone greater than I am is coming. Wow, think that through.

13:25
What in the world was Jeremiah talking about when he said behold, the days are coming, says the Lord will. I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them out of the land to lead them out of the land of Egypt, the covenant which they broke though I was a husband to them, says the Lord, verse 33,. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days, says the Lord, I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be my people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, but every man his brother, saying know the Lord, for they shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin. I will remember no more. Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day, the ordinance of the moon and the stars for the light by night, who distributes the sea and it's waves roaring? The Lord of hosts is his name. If those ordinance depart from me, says the Lord, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before me forever. In other words, it ain't gonna happen.

14:51
What in the world was Zechariah talking about In nine verse nine? Rejoice greatly, o daughter of Zion. Shout, o daughters of Jerusalem, behold, your king is coming to you. He is just having salvation, lowly or humbled, and riding on a donkey, a colt, a full of a donkey. What happened? What happened on Palm Sunday? Exactly that.

15:17
What in the world was Micah the prophet talking about In Micah five, verse two? But you, o Bethlehem, epaphatha, which is genius. There were two Bethlehems at the time of Christ's birth. Two different counties, same name, two different counties, you know like we have Paris, and then there's Paris, no, notice, your Bible says Epaphatha. That means the one that is near Jerusalem, the one that has the tower of McDell Eder, where the priests would approve the sacrificial lambs for the temple.

16:04
Yes, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, little villages everywhere, yet out of you shall come forth to me the one who is to be ruler in Israel. Who's going forth, are from old, from everlasting. Someone's gonna be born in Bethlehem who is eternal. Amen. And here's where we end, proverbs 30, verse four Solomon. Who has ascended into heaven or descended, who has gathered the wind in his fist, who has bound the waters in a garment and who has established all the ends of the earth. What is his name? His name is Yah. You know that by now. What is his son's name? If you know, I call this the everlasting Jewstopper.

17:07
No, listen, I've used this on all of my Jewish friends, some of the friends you know. They're famous. I've used this verse to them and they go. Let me check it in the Hebrew. Go right ahead. They go in the Hebrew. One guy I was on a bus in Jerusalem. This guy goes to me. He's got stronger in the Hebrew. The English is weak. Can you believe that? Every Jew I know I always say, hey, read verse 33 and 34. Tell me what you think. Go ask your Rabbi. That one, not one, has ever come back to me yet. What is my name? It's Yah Yahweh. We already know this. And then he turns right around and says can you tell me my son's name? It's the same one that's in Psalm 2. Isaiah 7, isaiah 9, on and on we go. He who watches over Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. Keep your eyes on the news, maybe, if you can handle it, but by all means have your Bibles open.
