Full transcript
- 0:00So, now a Jew who rejects Jesus,
- 0:03Netanyahu,
- 0:04and a Palestinian who loves Jesus and
- 0:07he's baptized in Jesus, in the eyes of
- 0:09Jesus, which of those two is the real
- 0:10Jew?
- 0:12>> The
- 0:13Palestinian. I was captivated because I
- 0:16was not expecting
- 0:18to see things from that perspective at
- 0:22all today.
- 0:24It is really like
- 0:27I don't know. I'm feeling a certain way.
- 0:29I'm feeling empathy for the first time
- 0:31since [music] any of this has started. I
- 0:34think
- 0:35about this, Sam. And so, I hope
- 0:39that's what everyone is getting.
- 0:45>> So, you are pro-Zionist.
- 0:47>> Oh, I I mean, the whole Bible. You can't
- 0:50be Christian and be anti- So,
- 0:53>> No, it's not about being anti-Jewish.
- 0:55You can't be Jesus is Jew. And the
- 0:58greatest creature that God created was a
- 0:59Jewish woman named the Blessed Mother.
- 1:01That's not what we're talking about.
- 1:02There's a difference between not being
- 1:04anti-Jewish
- 1:06and being pro-Zionist. You said you're
- 1:08pro-Israel. That means you're
- 1:09pro-Zionist. Why?
- 1:11>> Yeah.
- 1:12Um well, because in the Bible, it's it's
- 1:15mapped that is their land
- 1:18and that that's where
- 1:19>> Who told you that?
- 1:21>> thing will take place.
- 1:22>> Yeah, but who told you that?
- 1:23You because you're going to a certain
- 1:25church
- 1:26that teaches you what's called
- 1:27dispensationalism, a dispensational view
- 1:30>> Mhm.
- 1:31>> of the scriptures. That's not
- 1:32necessarily what the New Testament
- 1:34teaches, nor is it the view of the
- 1:36church historically. That's more of a
- 1:37modern teaching. I know that this is
- 1:40what you've been taught because I was
- 1:41taught that.
- 1:42So,
- 1:44that's number one. So, number two,
- 1:47were you taught they're still God's
- 1:49chosen people?
- 1:50>> Yes.
- 1:51>> Yeah.
- 1:53Yeah, bad theology. Can you stop going
- 1:55to the church that you're going to.
- 1:58>> I really like it.
- 1:59>> [laughter]
- 1:59>> Yeah, but they're teaching you bad
- 2:00theology.
- 2:01>> Okay.
- 2:02>> Uh New Testament says the nation of
- 2:04Israel is no longer God's people. The
- 2:06people of God is the church.
- 2:08So, number one, your view about Israel
- 2:11is wrong. This is why you're fighting
- 2:13You're fighting a a battle that's not
- 2:15worth fighting cuz you have a wrong view
- 2:17of Israel. They're not God's chosen
- 2:18people. Have you read your New
- 2:20Testament?
- 2:21>> Yes.
- 2:22>> Are you sure?
- 2:23Go to Matthew 21
- 2:2633 to 44.
- 2:28>> Okay.
- 2:29>> Read This Jesus is going to give a
- 2:30parable. Matthew 21
- 2:3333 to 44. Start reading 33.
- 2:36>> Okay.
- 2:37Listen to another parable. There was a
- 2:39landowner who planted a vineyard. He put
- 2:42wall around it, dug a wine press in it,
- 2:44and built a watchtower.
- 2:46He rented the vineyard to some farmers
- 2:48and moved to another place. When the
- 2:50harvest time approached, he sent his
- 2:52servants to the tenants to collect his
- 2:54fruit.
- 2:56The tenants his servants. They beat one,
- 2:58killed another, and stoned a third.
- 3:01Then he sent other servants to them more
- 3:03than the first time. And the tenants
- 3:06treated them the same way.
- 3:08Uh last of all, he sent his son to them.
- 3:11"They will respect my son," he said. But
- 3:15when the tenants saw the son, they said
- 3:17to each other, "This is the heir. Come,
- 3:20let's kill him and take his
- 3:21inheritance."
- 3:23So, they took him and threw him out of
- 3:25the vineyard and killed him.
- 3:27>> Now, before you move on,
- 3:29you understand what the parable is
- 3:30about, right?
- 3:31>> Yes.
- 3:32>> The vineyard is what?
- 3:34>> Israel.
- 3:36>> And the tenants, the vine dressers, are
- 3:38the rulers, right?
- 3:40>> Mhm. Yes.
- 3:41>> And their last chance, their last hope
- 3:43of getting it right was what?
- 3:45What did the owner, who's God the
- 3:47Father, do as their last chance to get
- 3:50right? He sent his son last of all,
- 3:53right?
- 3:54>> Right.
- 3:54>> All right. So, then Jesus already says
- 3:57their what response will be. They'll
- 3:58kill him.
- 4:00>> Yes.
- 4:01>> When they kill him, what is God going to
- 4:02do? Now read Now read Continue reading
- 4:0444.
- 4:05>> Okay.
- 4:06Therefore, when the owner of the
- 4:08vineyard comes, what will he do to those
- 4:10tenants? He will bring them
- 4:13Um Jesus said to them, "Have you never
- 4:16read in the scripture,
- 4:18the stone the builders rejected has
- 4:20become the cornerstone? The Lord has
- 4:23done this, and it is marvelous in our
- 4:25eyes."
- 4:27Therefore, I tell you that the kingdom
- 4:29of God will be taken away from you and
- 4:33>> given to a people who will produce
- 4:35>> The kingdom will be taken away from who?
- 4:39>> From the Israelites?
- 4:41>> Yeah, so why would you say they're God's
- 4:42chosen people? Jesus just said,
- 4:44"When you kill me and reject me,
- 4:47the kingdom will be taken away from
- 4:49you."
- 4:51So, where did you get they're God's
- 4:52chosen people?
- 4:56>> I think I got it from
- 5:00>> the misreading of the Old Testament.
- 5:02Yeah, I know.
- 5:03Now, so you saw what he said. The
- 5:04kingdom will be taken away from you,
- 5:05right?
- 5:06>> Yes.
- 5:07>> So, now let me show you who a true Jew
- 5:08is according to the Jews that wrote the
- 5:10New Testament. These are Jews.
- 5:12>> Mhm.
- 5:12>> These Jews are going to tell you who the
- 5:13true Jews are.
- 5:15They're going to tell you, not me.
- 5:17Okay? So, Jesus just said the kingdom
- 5:18taken away from you. Kingdom's not yours
- 5:20anymore. Now, go to Romans 2
- 5:2326 to 29.
- 5:24I'm going to show you scripture, so this
- 5:26you got to change your mindset. This
- 5:27pro-Zionism, that's not biblical. You're
- 5:30distorting scripture to be a
- 5:31pro-Zionist.
- 5:33They deceived you. You're not
- 5:35pro-Zionist. You're not pro-Palestine.
- 5:37You're pro Lord Jesus Christ and pro
- 5:40kingdom of Christ.
- 5:42And Christ's kingdom
- 5:44doesn't favor any human government.
- 5:47>> So then, if those who are not
- 5:49circumcised keep the law's requirements,
- 5:52will they not be regarded as though they
- 5:54were circumcised?
- 5:55>> You have to satisfy this point there
- 5:56before you move on cuz you got to
- 5:57understand what you're reading. What is
- 5:58he talking about? What is Paul saying
- 6:00here?
- 6:01>> Okay, so the the ones that are not
- 6:03circumcised are the Gentiles or the ones
- 6:06that Jewish, okay?
- 6:08>> And he's saying to the Jews, you who
- 6:09boast being Jewish and you have the law,
- 6:12when you have a Gentile who keeps God's
- 6:14moral commands and ethics, while he's
- 6:17not circumcised, won't God consider him
- 6:19as if he had been circumcised?
- 6:21>> Yes.
- 6:22>> Now watch what he says to those Jews who
- 6:24are circumcised but break the law. Now
- 6:25read it.
- 6:27>> The one who is not circumcised
- 6:29physically and yet obeys the law will
- 6:31condemn you who, even though you have
- 6:33the written code and circumcision, are a
- 6:36lawbreaker.
- 6:37>> So who's better in the eyes of God?
- 6:39Ethnically Jew who breaks God's law or a
- 6:42Gentile who's not circumcised but honors
- 6:44God and keeps his ethical moral demands?
- 6:47>> Well, a Gentile who honors God because
- 6:50the I I understand the circumcision.
- 6:52>> it gets better though. Because now
- 6:54you're going to see who the true Jew is,
- 6:5628:29.
- 6:58>> A person is not a Jew who is on one only
- 7:02outwardly, nor is circumcision merely
- 7:04outward and physical.
- 7:06No, a person is a Jew who is one
- 7:09inwardly and circumcision is
- 7:10circumcision of the heart by the spirit,
- 7:13not by the written code.
- 7:15>> So you just you you you were just told
- 7:17what a true Jew is. A true Jew is what?
- 7:20>> Um someone who
- 7:24follows the Lord's laws and ethics in
- 7:26their heart and truly and not just by
- 7:28outward
- 7:29>> In other words, yes, you're a follower
- 7:30of Jesus Christ cuz for Paul, to follow
- 7:32the law is to obey Jesus Christ. So
- 7:35you're just told right now a true Jew is
- 7:37one who's spiritual, circumcised
- 7:39spiritually, born of the spirit, united
- 7:41to Christ. And now I'm going to show you
- 7:43this is the teaching of the entire New
- 7:44Testament. And I'm going to show you
- 7:46what the New Testament says about those
- 7:47Jews who reject Jesus,
- 7:50they're said to be fake Jews. They're
- 7:52not really Jews. In fact, would you be
- 7:54shocked if I showed you Paul saying,
- 7:57"The Jews who reject Jesus,
- 7:59they're actually Ishmaelites. They're
- 8:02the sons of Hagar, the descendants of
- 8:04Ishmael. They're not the descendants of
- 8:06Sarah." Would you be shocked if I showed
- 8:07you that?
- 8:08>> Yes.
- 8:09>> You would be shocked, right?
- 8:10>> That's a huge thing.
- 8:12>> I want to show it to you. I'm going to
- 8:13show it to you from Paul, but I want
- 8:14everyone to hear.
- 8:15She's going to be shocked when I show
- 8:17her Paul saying, "The Jews who don't
- 8:20follow Jesus, but follow the law of
- 8:22Moses,
- 8:23they are actually the descendants of
- 8:25Hagar, the descendants of Ishmael.
- 8:27They're not the descendants of Sarah."
- 8:29Galatians 4 21 to 31. It's right there.
- 8:34>> Tell me, "Who you want to be under the
- 8:36law? Are you not aware of what the law
- 8:38says?
- 8:39For it is written that Abraham had two
- 8:41sons. One by the slave woman
- 8:44and the
- 8:45by the free woman.
- 8:47His son by the slave woman born
- 8:49according to the flesh,
- 8:52but his son by the free woman was born
- 8:54as the result of a divine promise.
- 8:57>> Mhm.
- 8:58>> These things are being taken figure
- 9:00figuratively.
- 9:02The woman representing represent two
- 9:04covenants. One covenant is from Mount
- 9:06Sinai and bears children who are are to
- 9:09be slaves. This is Hagar.
- 9:11Now, Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in
- 9:13Arabia and corresponds to the present
- 9:15city of Jerusalem.
- 9:17>> Now, did you catch it?
- 9:19Jerusalem
- 9:21on Earth is Hagar.
- 9:24>> Okay.
- 9:26>> Did you hear it?
- 9:27>> Yeah, Hagar stands for Mount Sinai and
- 9:29corresponds to the present city of
- 9:30Jerusalem, okay?
- 9:32>> So, here you are a pro-Zionist,
- 9:34pro-Israel,
- 9:36you are fighting for the Jews who are
- 9:39living in the land that Paul said is the
- 9:42land of bondage.
- 9:44The land
- 9:45that enslaves
- 9:47the descendants of Hagar, not of Sarah.
- 9:50>> Okay.
- 9:50>> think that Paul just said that, right?
- 9:52>> Yeah.
- 9:53>> Okay. Now, then, what is true Jerusalem?
- 9:56And who are the true sons and daughters
- 9:58of Sarah? Now, keep reading.
- 9:59>> Okay.
- 10:01Um
- 10:02but the Jerusalem that is above is free,
- 10:06and she is our mother. For it is
- 10:07written,
- 10:08"Be glad, barren woman,
- 10:11you who never bore a child. Shout for
- 10:13joy and cry aloud, you who were never in
- 10:16labor, because more are the children of
- 10:18the desolate woman than of her who has a
- 10:21husband."
- 10:23Now, you, brothers and sisters, like
- 10:25Isaac, are children of promise.
- 10:27>> Who are the children of promise?
- 10:29Who belong to Isaac?
- 10:31>> Now,
- 10:31>> Christians.
- 10:33But the Jews who reject Jesus, they are
- 10:35sons of Hagar. Keep reading.
- 10:36>> Okay.
- 10:38At that time, the son born according to
- 10:40the flesh persecuted the son born by the
- 10:43power of the spirit.
- 10:45It is the same now.
- 10:47>> It is the same now. Notice, just like
- 10:50Ishmael was born of the flesh, not of
- 10:52God's promise, cuz God didn't promise
- 10:54that he would give Abraham a son from
- 10:56Hagar,
- 10:58that so Ishmael was simply their human
- 11:01decision to do so. But God did promise
- 11:04to give Abraham a son from Sarah. And
- 11:07just like in Genesis 21, Sarah told
- 11:10Abraham, "Get rid of the woman, the
- 11:12bondwoman the bondwoman and her son."
- 11:14>> Mhm.
- 11:15>> Because he has no share with Isaac. And
- 11:16God said, "Listen to what Sarah said."
- 11:19And so, here Paul is saying, just like
- 11:21in Genesis 21,
- 11:23God
- 11:24had
- 11:26Hagar and her son
- 11:29>> [clears throat]
- 11:29>> banished
- 11:30from
- 11:32Isaac,
- 11:33so that she was removed. Paul is saying,
- 11:35"You too, you Christians, you are like
- 11:38Isaac. Get rid of the bondwoman and her
- 11:41son." And who are they? The Judaizers.
- 11:44Those Jews who are telling Christians
- 11:46who are not ethnically Jewish, "You have
- 11:48to keep the law of Moses and get
- 11:49circumcised." And he says, "They are
- 11:51Ishmaelites. Have nothing to do with
- 11:53them. Get rid of them."
- 11:56>> Okay.
- 11:57>> Finish it though, all the way to 31.
- 11:59>> Okay.
- 12:01>> [clears throat]
- 12:01>> But what does scripture say? "Get rid of
- 12:04the slave woman and her son, for the
- 12:06slave woman's son will never share in
- 12:08the inheritance with the free woman's
- 12:10son.
- 12:12Therefore,
- 12:13brothers and sisters, we are not
- 12:15children of the slave woman, but of the
- 12:17free woman. I think what's
- 12:20stopping me from fully understanding is
- 12:24it's why then why are they
- 12:28in conflict if if if um
- 12:32the Jewish people over there
- 12:35are not God's chosen people, why is
- 12:38there still
- 12:39such conflict in with the
- 12:40>> What does that got to do with anything?
- 12:42If the Bible says they're not God's
- 12:43chosen people, what the hell does the
- 12:45conflict got to do with proving
- 12:46otherwise?
- 12:48>> It's just
- 12:49>> that got to do with anything?
- 12:50>> Okay.
- 12:51Okay, I'm going to read it again.
- 12:52>> Yeah, reread it. Galatians 4:21 to 26.
- 12:55>> Okay.
- 12:56Tell me, you who want to be under the
- 12:58law, are you not aware of what the law
- 13:00says? For it is written that Abraham had
- 13:03two sons.
- 13:05One by the slave woman and one by the
- 13:07free woman.
- 13:09His son by the slave woman was born
- 13:12according to the flesh.
- 13:14But his son by the free woman was born
- 13:17as a result of a divine promise.
- 13:20So, I'm just stopping so I understand.
- 13:24Everyone that
- 13:26>> Who Yeah, who was promised?
- 13:28>> Isaac was promised.
- 13:29>> Was Ishmael promised?
- 13:32>> No.
- 13:32>> Exactly. So now, pay attention.
- 13:35Which Jerusalem
- 13:37corresponds to Ishmael and Hagar? And
- 13:41which one corresponds to Sarah and
- 13:43Isaac? Pay attention now.
- 13:45>> These things are being taken
- 13:47figuratively. The woman represents two
- 13:50covenants.
- 13:51>> Wait, the woman means Sarah and Hagar
- 13:55>> Yes.
- 13:55>> represent two covenants. A covenant made
- 13:57on Mount Sinai,
- 13:59which corresponds to Jerusalem on Earth,
- 14:02and the other covenant
- 14:04that is heavenly. Keep reading.
- 14:06>> Okay.
- 14:07One covenant is from Mount Sinai and
- 14:09bears children who are to be slaves.
- 14:12This is Hagar, so this is the one of the
- 14:14flesh.
- 14:15Now, Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in
- 14:17Arabia and corresponds to the present
- 14:20city of Jerusalem.
- 14:22>> Can it be any clearer? You just said it
- 14:24a second time.
- 14:25>> Okay.
- 14:26>> So, the Jerusalem on Earth
- 14:28is who, figuratively?
- 14:29>> Is is figuratively Hagar, which is the
- 14:33the children that are were born of the
- 14:35flesh, which was Ishmael.
- 14:36>> And so, which children is Paul saying
- 14:41are Ishmaelites? Who's he talking about?
- 14:43Because he said two covenants. The
- 14:44covenant on Mount Sinai, that was made
- 14:46with who?
- 14:48>> With Abraham.
- 14:50>> No, Abraham was not on Mount Sinai.
- 14:52The covenant on Mount Sinai was made
- 14:54with who?
- 14:55>> With uh Moses.
- 14:57>> And Moses made that covenant with who?
- 14:59>> With God.
- 15:01>> Sister, you know in my streams I hang
- 15:03myself with my shoestring. So, Moses
- 15:05made a covenant with God or God made a
- 15:06covenant with Moses? With who?
- 15:07>> covenant with Moses.
- 15:09>> And with who? Who did God make that
- 15:11covenant with?
- 15:12>> You mean like with the Israelites that
- 15:13were
- 15:14>> Oh, you got it.
- 15:15>> Okay.
- 15:16>> Yeah. I'll hang myself with my
- 15:17shoestrings cuz you know, I'm okay. So,
- 15:19one more time. The covenant on Sinai,
- 15:22that covenant was made with who?
- 15:24>> With the Israelites.
- 15:26>> You know, you just admit Israelites are
- 15:28the sons of Hagar.
- 15:30That's what you just said if you
- 15:32understood what you just said.
- 15:34Because if the covenant
- 15:36of Mount Sinai, which is Arabia, which
- 15:39corresponds to Jerusalem,
- 15:41that is symbolized
- 15:43in Hagar.
- 15:45That means all who belong to that
- 15:46covenant are the sons and daughters of
- 15:48Hagar.
- 15:50But that covenant was made with the
- 15:52Israelites.
- 15:53>> This is a lot to take
- 15:55>> believe it. But you asked. I can't lie
- 15:57to you. I can't tickle your ears. If you
- 15:59believe your New Testament,
- 16:02Paul, who's a Jew, so he's not
- 16:05anti-Semitic, just told you
- 16:07the covenant made on Sinai, which is
- 16:11Jerusalem on Earth,
- 16:13that is now
- 16:15typified, [clears throat]
- 16:17represented, symbolized in Hagar.
- 16:20Because Hagar is the bondwoman who gave
- 16:23birth
- 16:24to a son who was in bondage.
- 16:27And these Jews, if they're trying to now
- 16:30merit righteousness before God by
- 16:32keeping the Mosaic law, they will be in
- 16:36bondage to sin and they will come under
- 16:38God's wrath. So, understand the point.
- 16:41Earthly Jerusalem, after rejecting
- 16:44Jesus, is no longer the Jerusalem of
- 16:47God.
- 16:48Then what is the Jerusalem of God?
- 16:51Well, read. Continue.
- 16:52>> Okay.
- 16:53>> What is the Jerusalem that delights God,
- 16:56that pleases God, which Sarah
- 16:59represents?
- 17:01>> Okay. Keep reading.
- 17:03But the Jerusalem that above is free,
- 17:06and she is our mother for
- 17:08>> your mother?
- 17:09>> The the free Jerusalem.
- 17:11>> And where's that at?
- 17:13>> I don't think it's an actual place.
- 17:15>> No, it is. It's heavenly Jerusalem.
- 17:17>> Okay.
- 17:18>> That's why you got to know your Bible.
- 17:19It's Hebrews 12:22 to 24. And Revelation
- 17:2221 says, "And I saw Jerusalem coming
- 17:25down out of heaven like a bride adorned
- 17:27for her husband."
- 17:30>> Okay.
- 17:32>> That's why you got to know your Bible.
- 17:33So,
- 17:34which Jerusalem is the Jerusalem that
- 17:36delights the heart of God?
- 17:38>> The heavenly Jerusalem in Hebrews and
- 17:40Revelation.
- 17:41>> And go to Hebrews 12:22 to 24 to show
- 17:44you that the real Jerusalem is the one
- 17:46in heaven. And it's coming down at the
- 17:48end of the age when the Lord returns.
- 17:50Hebrews 12:22 to 24. So, you don't think
- 17:53I'm making it up.
- 17:55Hebrews 12:22 to 24.
- 17:57>> Okay.
- 18:00But, you have come to Mount Zion, to the
- 18:03city of the living God, the heavenly
- 18:05Jerusalem.
- 18:06>> The what?
- 18:07>> The heavenly Jerusalem.
- 18:09>> So, there's a Zion in heaven?
- 18:13>> I guess so.
- 18:14>> Don't guess. Come on, sister. Don't
- 18:16guess.
- 18:17>> According to this, yes.
- 18:18>> So, there's a Zion in heaven?
- 18:22>> Yes.
- 18:22>> And that's the city of the living God?
- 18:24>> Yes.
- 18:25>> Heavenly Jerusalem?
- 18:26>> Yes. You have come to thousands upon
- 18:29thousands of angels in joyful assembly,
- 18:33to the church of the firstborn whose
- 18:35names are written in heaven.
- 18:38You have come to God, the judge of all,
- 18:40to the spirits of the righteous made
- 18:43perfect,
- 18:44to Jesus, the mediator of a new
- 18:46covenant, and to the sprinkled blood
- 18:49that speaks a better word than the blood
- 18:51of Abel.
- 18:52>> So, in heavenly Jerusalem, that's the
- 18:54city of God?
- 18:56>> Yes.
- 18:57>> And in that city of God,
- 19:00you have [clears throat] Zion and
- 19:01Jerusalem?
- 19:04>> Yes.
- 19:06>> And who lives there? God the Father.
- 19:08Who lives there? Jesus Christ. Who lives
- 19:11there? Myriads of angels.
- 19:14Who lives there? The spirits of those
- 19:16who died in Christ are now perfected cuz
- 19:18their bodies are in the dust, their
- 19:20spirits are there. And what are they
- 19:21having there? They're having church.
- 19:25Cuz there's church there, right?
- 19:26>> Right.
- 19:28>> So, which is the true Jerusalem that God
- 19:30delights in?
- 19:32>> The heavenly Jerusalem.
- 19:34>> Exactly. Because remember what Jesus
- 19:36said? When the Jews rejected him, the
- 19:39kingdom would take it and be taken away
- 19:40from them and the city and the temple
- 19:43were destroyed as a sign that God was
- 19:45done with them. I want to show you that.
- 19:47But I want you to go slow with me. So,
- 19:49you got it, right?
- 19:50>> Right.
- 19:51>> Now, go to Revelation 21 to see it is
- 19:53the heavenly Jerusalem that is the real
- 19:55Jerusalem and Sarah symbolizes the
- 19:58heavenly Jerusalem and we who belong to
- 20:00Christ belong to heavenly Jerusalem.
- 20:03Those who reject Christ belong to
- 20:05earthly Jerusalem, which Hagar
- 20:07represents.
- 20:09>> Okay.
- 20:10>> Revelation 21 verses 1 and 2.
- 20:12>> Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
- 20:15for the first heaven and the first earth
- 20:17had passed away
- 20:19and there was no longer any sea.
- 20:22I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem,
- 20:25coming down out of heaven from God,
- 20:28prepared as a bride beautifully dressed
- 20:30for her husband.
- 20:31>> And when that heavenly Jerusalem comes
- 20:32down, guess who's coming down with it?
- 20:34Now, read 3 and 4.
- 20:36>> Okay.
- 20:37And I heard a loud voice from the throne
- 20:39saying, "Look, God's dwelling place is
- 20:42now among the people and he will dwell
- 20:44>> Oh, wait. Did you catch it? When does
- 20:46God dwell with mankind? When heavenly
- 20:49Jerusalem comes down. Cuz that's the
- 20:52city of God where God dwells in, right?
- 20:54>> Yes.
- 20:55>> So, when that Jerusalem comes down, that
- 20:57means God is coming down to dwell with
- 20:59us in the new heaven and new earth. So,
- 21:01look, God's dwelling place is with men.
- 21:02Now, keep reading all the way to 4.
- 21:05>> They will be his people and God himself
- 21:07will be with them and be their God.
- 21:10He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
- 21:13There will be no more death or mourning
- 21:16or crying or pain, for the old order of
- 21:19things has passed away.
- 21:21>> Mhm. Okay, now
- 21:23I'm going to show you now who the true
- 21:25Jews, the true Israel, the true people
- 21:27of God happen to be slowly, but you're
- 21:29following this pattern. So, now go to
- 21:31Galatians 3:26-29.
- 21:35Galatians 3:26, but open up the entire
- 21:37chapter cuz I'm going to show you
- 21:38something. So, open up Galatians 3, the
- 21:40entire chapter. You're reading the NIV,
- 21:41right? Now, I want you to see who the
- 21:44true offspring of Abraham is. Are you
- 21:46ready?
- 21:47>> Yes.
- 21:48>> Galatians [clears throat] 3:15-18.
- 21:50>> Brothers and sisters, let me take an
- 21:53example from everyday life.
- 21:55Just as no one can set aside or add to a
- 21:58human covenant that has been duly
- 22:00established, so it is in this case.
- 22:04The promises were spoken to Abraham and
- 22:06to his seed. Scripture say and to seeds,
- 22:11meaning many people, but and
- 22:14>> Scripture does not say, it says
- 22:16Scripture does not say and to seeds many
- 22:19people, but to seed.
- 22:21>> Okay.
- 22:22>> Right, cuz you mis- the way you read it,
- 22:23I heard you saying Scripture says and to
- 22:25seeds.
- 22:25>> Okay. Oh, does not say and to seeds.
- 22:29>> Yeah. Now, read it.
- 22:31>> Meaning [clears throat] many people, but
- 22:33and to your seed, meaning one person who
- 22:37is Christ.
- 22:38>> So, who's the true seed of Abraham?
- 22:41>> Christ.
- 22:42>> He is the seed, right?
- 22:44>> Yes.
- 22:45>> The one person, Christ. He is the seed,
- 22:47right?
- 22:47>> Yes, the one seed. Yes.
- 22:50>> Now, go to Galatians 3:26-29.
- 22:53Now, watch this. Galatians 3:26-29.
- 22:57>> So, in Christ Jesus, you are all
- 23:01children of God through faith.
- 23:03For all of you who were baptized into
- 23:06Christ have clothed yourselves with
- 23:08Christ.
- 23:10There is neither Jew nor Gentile,
- 23:13neither slave nor free.
- 23:15>> Wait, there's no longer Jew nor Gentile?
- 23:17>> Yes.
- 23:19>> So, why are you making a big deal over
- 23:21Israel
- 23:22against Palestine?
- 23:24>> [sighs and gasps]
- 23:26>> Um
- 23:27>> Reread that again.
- 23:29>> There is neither Jew nor Gentile,
- 23:32neither slave nor free,
- 23:35nor is there male and female, for you're
- 23:37all in one Christ Jesus.
- 23:39>> For you're all one in Christ Jesus.
- 23:43>> All one in Christ Jesus.
- 23:45>> And then what are you? If you're in
- 23:46Christ, what are you? 29.
- 23:49>> If you belong to Christ, then you are
- 23:51Abraham's seed and heirs according to
- 23:54the promise.
- 23:54>> Wait, sister. The seed of Abraham are
- 23:57believers in Jesus who are baptized into
- 24:00Jesus?
- 24:03>> Yes.
- 24:04>> So, a Gentile who believes in Jesus and
- 24:07is baptized in Jesus, he is the son, she
- 24:10is the daughter of Abraham, the seed of
- 24:12Abraham?
- 24:14>> Yes.
- 24:14>> So, why are you making a big deal over
- 24:16the state of Israel
- 24:18and taking their side over against
- 24:20Palestine? You don't take anyone's side.
- 24:24You just read from a Jew,
- 24:26those who are baptized in Christ
- 24:30ethnically Jewish or a Gentile or a male
- 24:34or a female,
- 24:36you're all one and you are the seed of
- 24:38Abraham. Abraham is all of your father.
- 24:41He's the father of all of you.
- 24:44So now, a Jew who rejects Jesus,
- 24:47Netanyahu,
- 24:48and a Palestinian who loves Jesus and is
- 24:51baptized in Jesus, in the eyes of Jesus,
- 24:53which of those two is the real Jew?
- 24:56>> The
- 24:57Palestinian is
- 24:58>> You just destroyed
- 25:00your case for being pro-Israel.
- 25:05>> This is a lot. You have to understand.
- 25:07And
- 25:07>> I know it's a lot because you've been
- 25:08indoctrinated like I was. But what I'm
- 25:10trying to get at is
- 25:12if you believe your Bible and you let
- 25:14Jesus tell you what to believe and the
- 25:17Holy Spirit-filled apostles and the New
- 25:19Testament writers
- 25:21Paul wrote that, he's a Jew. I didn't
- 25:23write it. I didn't write Galatians 3.
- 25:26And in Galatians 3 he told you
- 25:28there's neither Jew nor Gentile Greek,
- 25:31neither male nor female, neither free
- 25:34nor slave. You are all one if you've
- 25:37been baptized in Christ and all of you
- 25:39are the seed of Abraham. Well, if
- 25:41Netanyahu rejects Jesus, then according
- 25:44to Paul, he's not a real Jew. But that
- 25:47Palestinian in Palestine who's been
- 25:50baptized in Christ, he is a real Jew. So
- 25:54when a bomb is dropped on his building
- 25:58and everyone in that house is killed and
- 26:01their infants and babies are killed,
- 26:05don't tell me God is fighting for
- 26:07Israel.
- 26:09Don't tell me that.
- 26:11You're telling me
- 26:13I'm pro-Israel. Yeah, God is fighting
- 26:15for Israel. Yeah, ooh. Come on. Get out
- 26:18of this lie.
- 26:20>> Well, this I've never
- 26:22I didn't expect
- 26:25to think about this today, but I am
- 26:27thinking about it. Um
- 26:30>> But I'm not done showing you the
- 26:31evidence yet. This is just the
- 26:32beginning. I got to So I want to give
- 26:33you all the evidence.
- 26:35So when I saw this footage,
- 26:38my heart was crushed because
- 26:42you have children being killed in Israel
- 26:44and Palestine
- 26:45who are the victims
- 26:47of this
- 26:49>> [clears throat]
- 26:49>> war
- 26:50because when Israel goes into devastate
- 26:53Palestine,
- 26:54they don't discriminate. When they drop
- 26:57a bomb, they're going to drop it on
- 26:58buildings where there are even children
- 27:00and infants. Anyway, I saw another
- 27:03village in a hospital, a man with his
- 27:05baby, infant, lifeless and dead in his
- 27:08arms.
- 27:09And he's there looking at the camera,
- 27:10and the baby's dead.
- 27:12Lifeless dead baby in his arms. Do you
- 27:14think when Jesus sees
- 27:17Israeli children,
- 27:18Israeli infants,
- 27:20Israeli babies,
- 27:22he prefers them more over those
- 27:24Palestinian children, Palestinian
- 27:26babies, Palestinian baby infants who are
- 27:29being killed? Oh, it's okay, they're
- 27:31Palestinian children, but these Israeli
- 27:33children I love more.
- 27:35Then that's not my Jesus. That's not the
- 27:36Jesus of the Bible.
- 27:38>> Mhm.
- 27:40>> That's not the Lord Jesus
- 27:42that I know from scripture, the Jesus of
- 27:44history, who's the Christ of the
- 27:45Gospels.
- 27:47When Jesus sees any child,
- 27:49Palestinian, Israeli,
- 27:51being killed,
- 27:53it breaks his heart because he
- 27:55understands the devastation it will
- 27:57cause to those left behind. And you
- 27:59understand that this is going to make
- 28:01the Israelis hate the Palestinians more,
- 28:03and the Palestinians hate Israelis more,
- 28:05and want to wipe each other
- 28:07out. This is not going to bring any
- 28:08peace. It's not going to bring any
- 28:10resolution.
- 28:11You think that dad, when he's carrying
- 28:13the lifeless body of his daughter, do
- 28:15you think now he's more sympathetic
- 28:18to Israel's existence in Israel?
- 28:21>> No.
- 28:21>> Or when the Israeli
- 28:23sees that an Israeli child was killed by
- 28:26Hamas, or a grandmother was murdered by
- 28:29Hamas, do you think the Israelis are now
- 28:31going to be soft and understanding
- 28:34towards the Palestinians, or you think
- 28:35they're now going to hate each other
- 28:36even more and want to wipe each other
- 28:39out?
- 28:43Right? This is when Jesus says turn the
- 28:45other cheek, because someone has to
- 28:48swallow their pride and say enough is
- 28:50enough.
- 28:51But when you Christians in the West bend
- 28:53over backwards for Zionism, you know
- 28:56what message you sent to the
- 28:57Palestinians? Did you know I mean and
- 28:59I'm going to give you more verses I
- 29:00don't want you to get it cuz I want to
- 29:01show you more verses on who a true Jew
- 29:02is.
- 29:03Do you know
- 29:06Do you know
- 29:08there are Palestinian Christians in
- 29:10Palestine?
- 29:11Do you know they're getting it bad from
- 29:13both sides? They're Palestinian Muslims
- 29:15who look down upon them and attack them
- 29:17because they're Christian and they get
- 29:19it bad from the Israelis cuz they're
- 29:20Palestinians. And the Palestinian
- 29:22Christians, baptized, born of the
- 29:25spirit, belong to Christ, they're seeing
- 29:28you evangelicals IN AMERICA PRO-ISRAEL
- 29:31AND THEY'RE WONDERING, "What about us?
- 29:33You forgot us?
- 29:35I thought we are the body of Christ. I
- 29:37thought we are brothers and sisters in
- 29:39Christ." Cuz Jesus said, "Who are my
- 29:40mother? My brothers? Those who do the
- 29:42will of God." Here I am, your
- 29:44Palestinian Christian brother, your
- 29:46Palestinian Christian sister, your
- 29:48Palestinian Christian mother, your
- 29:50Palestinian Christian daughter, and I'm
- 29:53suffering cuz when that bomb came down,
- 29:55the bomb didn't say, "Oh wait, wait,
- 29:56that's a Palestinian Christian. Go to
- 29:58the Pales
- 29:59And they're looking at you in the West
- 30:02bending over backwards for Israel
- 30:04and they're wondering
- 30:06what the hell happened
- 30:08to the bond we have in Jesus Christ? So
- 30:11you would rather have me suffer by
- 30:13Muslims and Israelis
- 30:15because of your warped understanding
- 30:17that Israel's the chosen people of God,
- 30:18but I'm a baptized,
- 30:21born-again, spirit-filled member of the
- 30:24body of Jesus, the same Jesus you say
- 30:26you love, and you've forgotten me?
- 30:31You've forgotten me?
- 30:34Because
- 30:35I'm Palestinian and because you've been
- 30:37deceived by charlatans and false
- 30:40teachers that the modern state of Israel
- 30:43is somehow pleasing to God cuz the Jews
- 30:45are God's chosen people?
- 30:48We're going to have a lot to answer for
- 30:50when we stand before the Lord. And let
- 30:51me tell you something because the Bible
- 30:52is real.
- 30:53Those who die in Christ are alive. The
- 30:55day will come you you and me
- 30:57we're going to see all our brothers and
- 30:58sisters. And when we see the Palestinian
- 31:01Christians before the throne of the Lord
- 31:02looking at us
- 31:04wondering what happened to you?
- 31:07I'm your brother. I'm your sister. I
- 31:10loved and worshipped the same God you
- 31:11did. But on earth, you could give a damn
- 31:14about me or my children. And you could
- 31:16give a damn that my infant died because
- 31:19a bomb was thrown on the building and
- 31:22all our children were killed.
- 31:24All because you're pro-Israel. Yeah,
- 31:26pro-Israel.
- 31:27Yeah, woohoo.
- 31:29Now, let me give you some more verses
- 31:30what a true Jew is. Are you ready?
- 31:32>> Can I say something really quick, too?
- 31:35>> Yeah, I'm not saying you, by the way.
- 31:35I'm speaking generally in
- 31:36Evangelicalism. So, don't think I'm
- 31:38specifically you.
- 31:40>> No, I know. Um
- 31:42uh
- 31:43I think I can speak if you're still
- 31:45getting bad comments right now, I'm
- 31:47surprised because listen to when you've
- 31:49gotten heated before and all that stuff.
- 31:51It's fine. I live with uh an Arab and I
- 31:55get
- 31:55>> Yeah, Middle Eastern. We're
- 31:56hot-tempered. It's not even It's
- 31:57passion.
- 31:58>> But but this time you're being so
- 32:02um
- 32:03I was captivated because I was not
- 32:06expecting
- 32:07to see things from that perspective at
- 32:11all today.
- 32:13It is really like
- 32:16I don't know. I'm feeling a certain way.
- 32:18I'm feeling empathy for the first time
- 32:20since any of this has started.
- 32:22>> Yeah.
- 32:23>> Think
- 32:25about this, Sam. And so, I hope that's
- 32:28what everyone is getting.
- 32:31>> But you keep telling me or the
- 32:32evangelists keep telling me Israel is
- 32:34God's chosen people.
- 32:36Jesus just said
- 32:37you, my church, I love you. You're my
- 32:40body. I'm going to make those Jews who
- 32:41reject me and hate you cuz they hate me.
- 32:44I'm going to make them bow before you so
- 32:46they can know that I love you." When's
- 32:49the last time you heard your church
- 32:51teach you this?
- 32:53>> Never.
- 32:54>> Matthew 23:37-39. Look what Jesus says
- 32:57is a sign that he's done with Jerusalem.
- 33:00He's done with Jerusalem.
- 33:02Earthly He's done with the temple.
- 33:04Here's the sign. Matthew 23:37-39.
- 33:07>> Okay.
- 33:08Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
- 33:11you who killed the prophets and stoned
- 33:13those sent to you. How often I have
- 33:17longed to gather your children together
- 33:20a hen gathers her chicks under her
- 33:22wings,
- 33:23and you were not willing.
- 33:25Look, your house is left to you
- 33:27desolate.
- 33:29For I tell you, you will not see me
- 33:30again until you say, "Blessed is he who
- 33:33comes in the name of the Lord."
- 33:34>> So, how are you going to tell me Israel,
- 33:36the Jews, are God's chosen people when
- 33:38Jesus gave the sign that when the temple
- 33:41and Jerusalem will be destroyed, 70 AD,
- 33:44that's the sign I'm done with them, and
- 33:47now my kingdom, my people, my
- 33:51>> [cough and clears throat]
- 33:52>> chosen,
- 33:53the church on Earth that's now all over
- 33:57the world
- 33:58that is made up of Jews, Gentiles,
- 34:01males, females, free and slave. That's
- 34:04God's true Israel. In fact, you know
- 34:06what he said about these Jews?
- 34:09And Jerusalem that rejected him, you
- 34:10know what he called them in that chapter
- 34:12you're reading?
- 34:14If you open up Matthew 23, the entire
- 34:16chapter, and you read from 13 all the
- 34:17way to 36, he calls them brood of
- 34:20vipers,
- 34:22whitewashed sepulchers
- 34:25You make people twice the children of
- 34:27hell hell. You don't enter the kingdom,
- 34:29nor do you allow anyone else to enter
- 34:30after you. And then I would guess what
- 34:32else he tells them?
- 34:34He says, "They are sons of Cain."
- 34:37They belong to Cain, their father. Do
- 34:38you know that?
- 34:40If you open up that chapter, Matthew 23,
