- 2:32so you've got your Bibles the
- 2:3654th chapter of
- 2:38Isaiah Isaiah
- 2:4254 this is God's promise to the nation
- 2:46of
- 2:49Israel and
- 2:51uh
- 2:57uh but I found out years ago what's
- 3:00promised to them
- 3:03nationally as the
- 3:05natural descendants of
- 3:09Israel it's promised to
- 3:13us as a
- 3:17spiritual uh descendants of
- 3:20Abraham Abraham had two seeds one of
- 3:24them was the seed was the sand of the
- 3:27sea that's naturalism
- 3:30in other was the stars of Heaven that's
- 3:34that's his Heavenly seed that's we as
- 3:37the children of God us that have been
- 3:40born
- 3:41again amen I believe the scripture said
- 3:45as many of us galatian
- 3:483:27 many of us have been baptized into
- 3:50Christ have put on Christ there's either
- 3:53Jew nor Greek or Bond or free or male or
- 3:55female but all are one in Christ Jesus
- 3:58verse 29
- 4:00then your Abraham's seed and hirs
- 4:03according to the promise so we know this
- 4:06is made to Natural Israel and it's going
- 4:08to happen to them one of these days so
- 4:11I'm not taken away from that but I want
- 4:14I ain't talking to them today I ain't
- 4:17Lord as I know there ain't a Jew in this
- 4:19house used teach brother Samuel except
- 4:22him but the Lord do took him on and uh
- 4:26uh so we're all we're all
- 4:28Gentiles all of our our ancestors they
- 4:30wasn't worshiping Jehovah God Of Heaven
- 4:34they were worshiping the stars and the
- 4:37moon and rocks and statues of gold and
