0:00:54.440,0:00:56.800 9:10 and 11 started in Romans 9 of 0:00:56.800,0:00:59.440 course Paul's burden and then we got to 0:00:59.440,0:01:03.120 verse 6 this crisis has the word of God 0:01:03.120,0:01:04.839 come to no effect and we talked a lot 0:01:04.839,0:01:06.640 about what that means and what people 0:01:06.640,0:01:08.240 were saying and all what's happened to 0:01:08.240,0:01:10.000 the promises of Israel the Jewish people 0:01:10.000,0:01:12.680 to Jerusalem and remember Paul was 0:01:12.680,0:01:16.680 writing all this 10 15 years before the 0:01:16.680,0:01:18.439 destruction of Jerusalem in the temple 0:01:18.439,0:01:21.119 but it was like prophetically announcing 0:01:21.119,0:01:23.479 seeing this coming and what it would 0:01:23.479,0:01:25.799 mean for people who were reading the the 0:01:25.799,0:01:27.720 Bible which was the Old Testament at the 0:01:27.720,0:01:29.759 time right what we call and seeing all 0:01:29.759,0:01:31.360 these Promises of the glory and 0:01:31.360,0:01:33.200 restoration of Jerusalem and the Jewish 0:01:33.200,0:01:34.840 people coming back and instead the 0:01:34.840,0:01:38.399 opposite happened and he is going to I 0:01:38.399,0:01:41.280 told you he's going to lay out that this 0:01:41.280,0:01:42.960 word of God has not 0:01:42.960,0:01:45.640 failed but there's some surprises and 0:01:45.640,0:01:48.680 it's coming to pass in three big 0:01:48.680,0:01:50.600 categories paradigms you guys remember 0:01:50.600,0:01:52.360 what they are I'm just going to keep on 0:01:52.360,0:01:54.079 nailing it and hitting them the first 0:01:54.079,0:01:55.439 one is the remnant that's the one we're 0:01:55.439,0:01:57.640 going to focus on today the second one 0:01:57.640,0:02:00.479 is the Gentiles the Nations the new man 0:02:00.479,0:02:03.240 that was the big surprise right and then 0:02:03.240,0:02:04.960 the third one we're going to get to in a 0:02:04.960,0:02:07.200 week or two is Romans 11 the ultimate 0:02:07.200,0:02:10.000 fullness of all the promises of God in 0:02:10.000,0:02:12.720 this and then last week last two weeks 0:02:12.720,0:02:15.400 we focused on Romans 10 it's like Paul 0:02:15.400,0:02:17.720 kind of pauses and says well I'm I'm 0:02:17.720,0:02:20.000 teaching you all these big theological 0:02:20.000,0:02:21.760 things about the word of God and history 0:02:21.760,0:02:24.720 and prophecy but don't forget folks it 0:02:24.720,0:02:27.440 all happens in him in the gospel right 0:02:27.440,0:02:29.319 this simple gospel that we Proclaim that 0:02:29.319,0:02:31.800 we're sent out for and that's how it's 0:02:31.800,0:02:33.760 going to happen for the remnant for the 0:02:33.760,0:02:35.440 one new man and the ultimate fullness 0:02:35.440,0:02:38.040 it's all about him there's no dual 0:02:38.040,0:02:39.440 covenant where the Jewish people are 0:02:39.440,0:02:41.319 going to get saved by coming in through 0:02:41.319,0:02:43.519 a back door of Moses and the Torah 0:02:43.519,0:02:46.440 without Yeshua no no no it's all in him 0:02:46.440,0:02:50.640 remember Romans 10 okay um so today 0:02:50.640,0:02:53.080 we're we finished Romans 10 last week 0:02:53.080,0:02:55.440 we're going to start into Romans 11 and 0:02:55.440,0:02:58.080 I have to tell you I've been I hope you 0:02:58.080,0:03:00.080 admire my patience I love teaching 0:03:00.080,0:03:02.040 Romans 11 and I've taught it hundreds of 0:03:02.040,0:03:03.519 times and I love there's we're going to 0:03:03.519,0:03:05.920 get to some great stuff but I I've taken 0:03:05.920,0:03:07.360 my time getting there because there's 0:03:07.360,0:03:09.560 all this other stuff right you just got 0:03:09.560,0:03:12.159 to stop and and dig into and I'm 0:03:12.159,0:03:13.400 reminding you of something I've said 0:03:13.400,0:03:16.280 almost every time we're going to go into 0:03:16.280,0:03:18.080 the scriptures that Paul quotes remember 0:03:18.080,0:03:21.159 the iceberg principle right all of he 0:03:21.159,0:03:24.200 quotes hundreds of times in the Book of 0:03:24.200,0:03:27.120 Romans from the Tanakh from the Old 0:03:27.120,0:03:29.360 Testament and it it's the iceberg 0:03:29.360,0:03:31.000 through what the verse is just the tip 0:03:31.000,0:03:33.720 of the iceberg right he's not just sort 0:03:33.720,0:03:36.439 of you know randomly pulling things out 0:03:36.439,0:03:38.920 of this there's a reason and you got to 0:03:38.920,0:03:40.400 stop and if you want to enrich your 0:03:40.400,0:03:43.280 Bible study and your devotion you got to 0:03:43.280,0:03:45.319 stop and go wait a minute this is Isaiah 0:03:45.319,0:03:47.360 chapter 1 what's going on in Isaiah 0:03:47.360,0:03:48.799 chapter let's go back to those verses 0:03:48.799,0:03:51.480 and read them and the context and the 0:03:51.480,0:03:53.360 spirit of what's going on there oh 0:03:53.360,0:03:54.840 there's a whole other there's a whole 0:03:54.840,0:03:57.159 lot more that Paul's referring to right 0:03:57.159,0:04:00.840 we're going to do that Romans 11 1 2 1 0:04:00.840,0:04:04.360 and two I say then God has not rejected 0:04:04.360,0:04:08.400 his people has he may it never 0:04:08.400,0:04:11.040 be for I too am an Israelite a 0:04:11.040,0:04:12.760 descendant of Abraham of The Tribe of 0:04:12.760,0:04:15.120 Benjamin God has not rejected his people 0:04:15.120,0:04:16.639 whom he 0:04:16.639,0:04:21.000 forew okay um now he does this you know 0:04:21.000,0:04:22.600 it's kind of a rhetorical question you 0:04:22.600,0:04:24.400 know all that means he's he starts with 0:04:24.400,0:04:27.240 a question is God rejected his people he 0:04:27.240,0:04:28.600 ask the question so that he can answer 0:04:28.600,0:04:31.400 it right well what what's why is he 0:04:31.400,0:04:32.800 asking that question well that's the end 0:04:32.800,0:04:33.960 of we have to go back to the end of 0:04:33.960,0:04:36.160 Romans 10 and the last few verses of 0:04:36.160,0:04:39.520 Romans 10 he quotes from Isaiah 65 about 0:04:39.520,0:04:42.479 God reaching his hands out all day long 0:04:42.479,0:04:45.479 to an obstinate idolatrous Nation who 0:04:45.479,0:04:47.680 are rebelling against him and playing 0:04:47.680,0:04:49.160 the Harlot with all of that that's 0:04:49.160,0:04:52.479 Israel right and his judgment and 0:04:52.479,0:04:55.639 rejection of Israel right and he said 0:04:55.639,0:04:57.160 okay well guys what am I saying am I 0:04:57.160,0:04:58.880 saying that God's finished with Israel 0:04:58.880,0:05:00.440 that this is the last 0:05:00.440,0:05:04.240 word about Israel has God rejected no no 0:05:04.240,0:05:06.039 no no that's not what I'm saying let me 0:05:06.039,0:05:07.080 tell 0:05:07.080,0:05:09.639 you and the first thing is as we've been 0:05:09.639,0:05:11.440 studying it's the remnant The Remnant 0:05:11.440,0:05:13.160 and here he kind of gets into what this 0:05:13.160,0:05:14.639 whole Remnant thing is and we're going 0:05:14.639,0:05:16.280 to study this and also go back to the 0:05:16.280,0:05:17.840 end of Romans nine where he talks a lot 0:05:17.840,0:05:20.720 about the remnant too 0:05:20.720,0:05:22.880 um you 0:05:22.880,0:05:25.680 know his he said he asked the question 0:05:25.680,0:05:27.280 has God rejected his 0:05:27.280,0:05:29.479 people and then he says no may it never 0:05:29.479,0:05:31.520 be and then what does he say he says 0:05:31.520,0:05:35.919 basically look at me right I he doesn't 0:05:35.919,0:05:37.759 say well look at the Jerusalem Church 0:05:37.759,0:05:39.360 there's 10,000 people in the back there 0:05:39.360,0:05:40.960 and there's there God is Not rejected 0:05:40.960,0:05:44.280 there's a Remnant he doesn't say he says 0:05:44.280,0:05:47.520 I I am an Israelite a descendant of 0:05:47.520,0:05:49.720 Abraham of The Tribe of Benjamin 0:05:49.720,0:05:51.199 therefore God has not rejected his 0:05:51.199,0:05:53.120 people you got stop and thinking about 0:05:53.120,0:05:55.120 that go that's 0:05:55.120,0:05:59.240 pretty pompous maybe a little arrogant 0:05:59.240,0:06:01.880 to say say all the promises of is to 0:06:01.880,0:06:04.039 Israel God has not rejected his people 0:06:04.039,0:06:06.440 because I believe because I have the 0:06:06.440,0:06:08.039 Holy 0:06:08.039,0:06:11.120 Spirit um have you ever thought that way 0:06:11.120,0:06:13.560 have you ever felt like maybe you're the 0:06:13.560,0:06:16.639 only one or the only true faithful one 0:06:16.639,0:06:18.039 who really gets 0:06:18.039,0:06:20.919 it it's kind of I think all of us go 0:06:20.919,0:06:22.800 through that if especially if you're 0:06:22.800,0:06:24.759 like a really successful anointed 0:06:24.759,0:06:26.360 minister with a big Ministry you know 0:06:26.360,0:06:29.960 you start to think like I'm it you know 0:06:29.960,0:06:32.080 and uh without me God couldn't do his 0:06:32.080,0:06:35.880 work and all that then what Paul does to 0:06:35.880,0:06:39.360 sort of back up and to and to strengthen 0:06:39.360,0:06:40.880 what he's trying to say he tells the 0:06:40.880,0:06:43.199 story of Elijah okay that's the rest of 0:06:43.199,0:06:44.960 verse two or don't you know what the 0:06:44.960,0:06:46.560 scripture says in the passage about 0:06:46.560,0:06:50.520 Elijah how he pleads with God against 0:06:50.520,0:06:53.039 Israel all right now this is you got to 0:06:53.039,0:06:54.680 go back to the story in First Kings 0:06:54.680,0:06:57.440 chapter 171 1819 the story of Elijah who 0:06:57.440,0:07:00.759 was really like the lone prophet okay 0:07:00.759,0:07:02.800 there he is prophesying to Ahab against 0:07:02.800,0:07:04.599 you know in the northern kingdom in 0:07:04.599,0:07:07.800 Samaria terribly idolatrous with Ahab 0:07:07.800,0:07:08.800 and 0:07:08.800,0:07:10.919 his what kind of wife I don't even want 0:07:10.919,0:07:12.319 to think of what I want to say about 0:07:12.319,0:07:14.800 Jezebel about Isabel you know and and 0:07:14.800,0:07:17.160 all the They terrible things and and 0:07:17.160,0:07:18.919 Elijah gets up there and says three 0:07:18.919,0:07:20.639 years there's going to be no no rain 0:07:20.639,0:07:23.199 until I say so and you know the story 0:07:23.199,0:07:25.440 right and three years comes and then God 0:07:25.440,0:07:27.479 speaks to him and what happens on Mount 0:07:27.479,0:07:29.520 Carmel right this incredible vict 0:07:29.520,0:07:32.039 victory Of Fire coming down on the wet 0:07:32.039,0:07:34.919 sacrifice you know all the story right 0:07:34.919,0:07:38.000 and then it's in in as the story 0:07:38.000,0:07:40.759 continues after this amazing Victory 0:07:40.759,0:07:42.599 right and they kill the people rise up 0:07:42.599,0:07:46.639 and Slaughter the 450 prophets of B okay 0:07:46.639,0:07:49.360 it's a big Revival it next thing says 0:07:49.360,0:07:51.879 that Jezebel well she had some spiritual 0:07:51.879,0:07:54.720 power this woman she was she heard what 0:07:54.720,0:07:56.280 Elijah did and she said that's um we got 0:07:56.280,0:07:59.319 to go kill him right it says Elijah got 0:07:59.319,0:08:01.360 to he just started running 0:08:01.360,0:08:04.879 away he's running away and God he brings 0:08:04.879,0:08:06.280 him to this 0:08:06.280,0:08:09.759 place HB Mount Si you know the story 0:08:09.759,0:08:12.000 right the wind the Rev and he ask him 0:08:12.000,0:08:16.680 this question okay um the question is 0:08:16.680,0:08:18.240 you know Elijah what are you doing here 0:08:18.240,0:08:20.440 and Elijah says he repeats something 0:08:20.440,0:08:24.080 that he had said earlier I have been I 0:08:24.080,0:08:25.919 have been very zealous for the Lord he 0:08:25.919,0:08:28.919 means himself just just him the god of 0:08:28.919,0:08:30.360 hosts for the sons of Israel have 0:08:30.360,0:08:31.960 forsaken your Covenant torn down your 0:08:31.960,0:08:34.080 altars and killed your prophets with the 0:08:34.080,0:08:38.719 sword and I alone am left and they seek 0:08:38.719,0:08:41.240 my life to take it 0:08:41.240,0:08:46.120 away wow I call this the Elijah complex 0:08:46.120,0:08:48.920 okay and God tries to rebuke him for it 0:08:48.920,0:08:50.200 I think 0:08:50.200,0:08:52.880 unsuccessfully um and you know what God 0:08:52.880,0:08:55.000 says and what Paul quotes in Romans 11 0:08:55.000,0:08:56.519 God's answer 0:08:56.519,0:09:00.200 is Elijah chill out 0:09:00.200,0:09:02.320 all right he didn't say that but that's 0:09:02.320,0:09:05.160 modern paraphrase okay modern California 0:09:05.160,0:09:08.920 paraphrase uh chill out relax I have 0:09:08.920,0:09:10.880 Reserve preserved 0:09:10.880,0:09:13.560 7,000 people in Israel who have not 0:09:13.560,0:09:15.120 bowed their knee to Bow you're not the 0:09:15.120,0:09:16.440 only 0:09:16.440,0:09:18.600 one 0:09:18.600,0:09:21.640 okay um you know this is a funny kind of 0:09:21.640,0:09:22.959 remember this is what Paul this is the 0:09:22.959,0:09:25.800 story that Paul is quoting and you got 0:09:25.800,0:09:27.440 to think about Paul you know I think he 0:09:27.440,0:09:29.959 felt like Elijah sometimes 0:09:29.959,0:09:33.279 you know he said in Colossians chapter 4 0:09:33.279,0:09:34.560 when he's giving these greetings and 0:09:34.560,0:09:36.240 talking about this and that people and 0:09:36.240,0:09:38.560 greet this guy and he 0:09:38.560,0:09:41.560 says this in verses 10 and 11 arist 0:09:41.560,0:09:44.519 arist arus my fellow prisoner sends you 0:09:44.519,0:09:48.240 his greetings also Barnabas and Mark uh 0:09:48.240,0:09:50.760 welcome him and yes Jesus Yeshua who is 0:09:50.760,0:09:52.120 called Justice it shows you that the 0:09:52.120,0:09:53.760 name Yeshua was a common name among 0:09:53.760,0:09:55.800 Jewish people back then these are the 0:09:55.800,0:09:57.959 only fellow workers from the kingdom of 0:09:57.959,0:09:59.920 God who are from the circumcision 0:09:59.920,0:10:02.880 did you catch that Paul in all of his 0:10:02.880,0:10:05.800 ministry okay he was raising up churches 0:10:05.800,0:10:08.079 and people and schools and disciples and 0:10:08.079,0:10:10.040 this that and for sending them out he 0:10:10.040,0:10:11.640 had I think it's two it depends how you 0:10:11.640,0:10:13.640 read it could be three there were two 0:10:13.640,0:10:16.079 other Jews he could have there's Timothy 0:10:16.079,0:10:18.480 too maybe you forgot Timothy oh three 0:10:18.480,0:10:21.399 all right from all of the Jewish people 0:10:21.399,0:10:23.800 there were two or three who were 0:10:23.800,0:10:28.680 faithful workers with him oh he felt as 0:10:28.680,0:10:32.800 a Jew pretty alone okay but he knew that 0:10:32.800,0:10:36.519 God was with him all right and I think 0:10:36.519,0:10:38.040 for all of us you know there's this 0:10:38.040,0:10:41.720 there's this lesson here that on the one 0:10:41.720,0:10:45.519 hand each one of us has to wake up every 0:10:45.519,0:10:49.079 morning and think the entire kingdom of 0:10:49.079,0:10:50.680 God depends on 0:10:50.680,0:10:54.120 me uh and maybe I that's a little 0:10:54.120,0:10:56.639 exaggeration but but but I've got a 0:10:56.639,0:10:58.440 calling there's a responsibility that 0:10:58.440,0:11:00.360 God has given me in this generation in 0:11:00.360,0:11:02.040 this place in this neighborhood in this 0:11:02.040,0:11:04.279 job and if I don't do it nobody else 0:11:04.279,0:11:06.240 will and I've got to get up and I've got 0:11:06.240,0:11:08.279 to read my Bible and I've got to pray 0:11:08.279,0:11:10.279 and I got to get out of all the negative 0:11:10.279,0:11:12.079 thinking and complain because it all 0:11:12.079,0:11:14.200 depends on 0:11:14.200,0:11:16.079 me 0:11:16.079,0:11:19.639 well sort of but you have to think that 0:11:19.639,0:11:21.560 way but on the other hand you start 0:11:21.560,0:11:23.560 praying like Yeshua taught us to pray 0:11:23.560,0:11:25.200 how did you just pray what's the first 0:11:25.200,0:11:28.079 words Our Father in Heaven the first 0:11:28.079,0:11:29.920 words you go oh wait it's not just me 0:11:29.920,0:11:33.320 it's not my Father in Heaven it's our oh 0:11:33.320,0:11:34.600 there's other people I got to pray for 0:11:34.600,0:11:36.160 them I've got brothers and sisters we're 0:11:36.160,0:11:40.079 together I'm not alone I'm not alone but 0:11:40.079,0:11:42.920 I am called and I have a responsibility 0:11:42.920,0:11:45.120 and it does depend on me you you just 0:11:45.120,0:11:46.800 one of these biblical balances you got 0:11:46.800,0:11:49.440 to kind of walk in right not fall into 0:11:49.440,0:11:51.720 the Elijah complex where you really 0:11:51.720,0:11:55.320 think it's just me I'm the only one you 0:11:55.320,0:11:57.120 know everything depends on me God what 0:11:57.120,0:11:59.079 are you going to do without me no no no 0:11:59.079,0:12:01.800 no don't think that way right but do 0:12:01.800,0:12:03.839 think that you you are unique and every 0:12:03.839,0:12:06.959 one of us needs to rise up and take 0:12:06.959,0:12:09.360 responsibility and then remember that 0:12:09.360,0:12:11.200 there's always 7,000 there's always 0:12:11.200,0:12:12.639 that's the first thing that Paul there's 0:12:12.639,0:12:14.480 always been a Remnant there's always 0:12:14.480,0:12:17.519 been an organic chain of faith in Yeshua 0:12:17.519,0:12:19.160 among the Jewish people throughout 0:12:19.160,0:12:21.079 history many of them were lost into the 0:12:21.079,0:12:22.279 churches and this and that but they've 0:12:22.279,0:12:25.160 been there God preserved it okay just as 0:12:25.160,0:12:26.720 he preserved the davidic line through 0:12:26.720,0:12:28.360 the Kings through the Exile all these 0:12:28.360,0:12:30.480 things God knows what he's doing with 0:12:30.480,0:12:33.959 his Remnant okay the second thing that 0:12:33.959,0:12:36.440 we we learn from this is that you know 0:12:36.440,0:12:38.880 God works through this is the principle 0:12:38.880,0:12:41.600 of God he works through one he works 0:12:41.600,0:12:44.120 through 300 in Gideon's time he works 0:12:44.120,0:12:48.320 through a small Remnant right Yeshua in 0:12:48.320,0:12:52.120 John 17 prays he says I don't pray for 0:12:52.120,0:12:54.760 the world I pray for these those who 0:12:54.760,0:12:57.040 have you've have given them your word 0:12:57.040,0:12:59.760 they've known you I pray for them 0:12:59.760,0:13:01.160 so that means Yeshua we were just 0:13:01.160,0:13:03.000 interceding a lot here for the situation 0:13:03.000,0:13:04.680 the Middle East when we're looking down 0:13:04.680,0:13:07.480 in the Middle East on Israel or Lebanon 0:13:07.480,0:13:10.000 what we should see first if we're in 0:13:10.000,0:13:14.279 Yeshua he feels and sees his body right 0:13:14.279,0:13:16.079 and maybe one 0:13:16.079,0:13:18.199 person 0:13:18.199,0:13:21.519 right it may be 10 people but God says 0:13:21.519,0:13:23.560 pray for them because that's how he's 0:13:23.560,0:13:25.240 going to work he's going to also do a 0:13:25.240,0:13:27.720 lot of other things as he's God right 0:13:27.720,0:13:30.560 but don't look at that look at that body 0:13:30.560,0:13:31.839 you're going to you're praying for 0:13:31.839,0:13:33.120 another country you're praying for 0:13:33.120,0:13:35.720 Israel find the body find the one person 0:13:35.720,0:13:37.120 the 10 people find out what they what 0:13:37.120,0:13:39.279 their needs are pray for them Jews and 0:13:39.279,0:13:42.240 Arabs The Remnant God works through the 0:13:42.240,0:13:44.320 remnant and you know we yonas kept on 0:13:44.320,0:13:46.880 mentioning DNA today in our P there's 0:13:46.880,0:13:49.839 something in the DNA of the remnant for 0:13:49.839,0:13:52.000 every tribe tongue and nation that 0:13:52.000,0:13:53.680 that's the deposit of God that's where 0:13:53.680,0:13:55.639 the covenants of God are and for Israel 0:13:55.639,0:13:57.839 Paul is saying you know I don't know if 0:13:57.839,0:13:59.399 you caught this it was if you know 0:13:59.399,0:14:02.480 another place here Paul says very 0:14:02.480,0:14:05.040 proudly in a good way I'm in Israel I'm 0:14:05.040,0:14:08.600 a Jew I'm of The Tribe of Benjamin do 0:14:08.600,0:14:10.199 you remember when he used that language 0:14:10.199,0:14:13.920 elsewhere in his letters one other place 0:14:13.920,0:14:16.880 maybe two Philippians chapter 3 what is 0:14:16.880,0:14:19.680 how does he use it there he says though 0:14:19.680,0:14:21.480 I myself might have confidence in the 0:14:21.480,0:14:23.680 flesh this is Philippians 3:4 and 5 if 0:14:23.680,0:14:25.720 anyone else has a mind to put I am 0:14:25.720,0:14:27.759 circumcised the eth day of the nation of 0:14:27.759,0:14:29.720 Israel of The Tribe of Benjamin a Hebrew 0:14:29.720,0:14:32.360 of Hebrews as to the law the Torah a 0:14:32.360,0:14:34.160 Pharisee but then what you know what the 0:14:34.160,0:14:38.480 next verse is but all this I count as 0:14:38.480,0:14:41.320 rubbish compared he uses in Philippians 0:14:41.320,0:14:43.079 it's negative it's a negative 0:14:43.079,0:14:44.639 Counterpoint all this Jewish stuff all 0:14:44.639,0:14:46.040 this glory of 0:14:46.040,0:14:49.440 the here in Romans 11 it's the 0:14:49.440,0:14:53.279 opposite Paul knew what he was doing he 0:14:53.279,0:14:54.519 knew when it came to preaching the 0:14:54.519,0:14:55.920 gospel and a lot of things of the 0:14:55.920,0:14:57.720 kingdom of God 0:14:57.720,0:15:00.639 jewishness what a John the Baptist say 0:15:00.639,0:15:02.639 if God wants to raise up children of 0:15:02.639,0:15:04.920 Abraham from the stones he can don't 0:15:04.920,0:15:06.560 count on your on your your pedigree 0:15:06.560,0:15:08.240 you're Jewish you can't it's not it's 0:15:08.240,0:15:10.519 not going to help you on the other hand 0:15:10.519,0:15:13.440 Paul says there's a Remnant and it's 0:15:13.440,0:15:17.120 significant and we need you need to 0:15:17.120,0:15:19.000 understand it and God has a deposit 0:15:19.000,0:15:21.000 there and it's a positive thing okay 0:15:21.000,0:15:25.560 that's how it is in in Romans 11 0:15:26.720,0:15:29.680 um let's go 0:15:29.680,0:15:32.560 to the other place in Romans 9:10 11 0:15:32.560,0:15:34.240 where Paul really 0:15:34.240,0:15:37.480 emphasizes these this teaching about the 0:15:37.480,0:15:39.199 remnant okay and that's at the end of 0:15:39.199,0:15:41.240 chapter nine I skipped this when I 0:15:41.240,0:15:45.000 taught uh chapter nine verses 0:15:45.000,0:15:49.480 27-29 okay and here he's quoting Isaiah 0:15:49.480,0:15:50.600 uh 0:15:50.600,0:15:53.199 10 um where the word of Remnant in 0:15:53.199,0:15:55.279 Hebrew for 0:15:55.279,0:15:58.160 those okay is repeated five six seven 0:15:58.160,0:16:00.720 times in just a few verses in Isaiah 0:16:00.720,0:16:02.800 Romans 9: 0:16:02.800,0:16:06.199 27-29 Isaiah Cries Out concerning 0:16:06.199,0:16:08.600 Israel though the number of the sons of 0:16:08.600,0:16:10.480 Israel be like the sand of the sea it is 0:16:10.480,0:16:14.399 the remnant that will be 0:16:14.600,0:16:16.880 saveda for the Lord will execute his 0:16:16.880,0:16:18.680 word on on the earth thoroughly and 0:16:18.680,0:16:20.959 quickly and just as Isaiah foretold 0:16:20.959,0:16:22.560 unless the Lord of 0:16:22.560,0:16:25.959 sabot itot had left us a posterity a 0:16:25.959,0:16:28.199 Remnant we would have become like Sodom 0:16:28.199,0:16:31.360 and would have resembled gamorra okay 0:16:31.360,0:16:33.319 I'm going to read to you what the first 0:16:33.319,0:16:34.920 part those first verses according which 0:16:34.920,0:16:39.000 is Isaiah 10: 20- 22 Isaiah 10:2 0:16:39.000,0:16:41.880 remember this is the iceberg principle 0:16:41.880,0:16:45.199 okay now in that day the remnant of 0:16:45.199,0:16:47.079 Israel and those of the House of Jacob 0:16:47.079,0:16:50.040 who have escaped will never again rely 0:16:50.040,0:16:51.600 on the one who struck them but will 0:16:51.600,0:16:54.079 truly rely on the Lord the Holy One of 0:16:54.079,0:16:57.880 Israel a Remnant will return the remnant 0:16:57.880,0:17:00.319 of Jacob to the Mighty God for though 0:17:00.319,0:17:02.040 your People Israel may be like the sand 0:17:02.040,0:17:05.280 of the sea only a Remnant within them 0:17:05.280,0:17:07.679 will return here in Isaiah it says 0:17:07.679,0:17:11.280 return Paul in R said we'll be saved 0:17:11.280,0:17:13.120 okay keep those two words in mind return 0:17:13.120,0:17:15.640 and be saved a destruction is determined 0:17:15.640,0:17:16.919 overflowing with righteousness the 0:17:16.919,0:17:19.839 context of Isaiah 10 is Isaiah preaching 0:17:19.839,0:17:23.439 uh about Assyria coming Assyria already 0:17:23.439,0:17:26.120 judged the northern kingdom and he's 0:17:26.120,0:17:28.400 saying God is going to bring Assyria to 0:17:28.400,0:17:30.840 judge also the southern Kingdom Judea 0:17:30.840,0:17:32.600 ultimately because of the repentance of 0:17:32.600,0:17:35.160 Isaiah and and King Hezekiah the 0:17:35.160,0:17:38.320 judgment is stopped right I don't know 0:17:38.320,0:17:40.840 186,000 Assyrian soldiers die outside 0:17:40.840,0:17:42.760 Jerusalem in one night imagine that kind 0:17:42.760,0:17:45.679 of Deliverance but then ultimately 0:17:45.679,0:17:47.440 there's the the next generation is 0:17:47.440,0:17:49.679 Babylon which becomes the judgment and 0:17:49.679,0:17:51.480 that's what these prophets were were 0:17:51.480,0:17:53.120 preaching about when they talked about a 0:17:53.120,0:17:56.799 Remnant they weren't talking about a 0:17:56.799,0:17:59.400 spiritual remnant 0:17:59.400,0:18:02.039 okay they were talking about a real 0:18:02.039,0:18:05.280 physical Remnant a group of survivors 0:18:05.280,0:18:08.640 folks okay that that that God was going 0:18:08.640,0:18:11.039 he he judged Samaria and the northern 0:18:11.039,0:18:13.240 kingdom scattered them he's going to 0:18:13.240,0:18:16.360 judge Judea the southern Kingdom in the 0:18:16.360,0:18:19.600 time of Jeremiah right and that happened 0:18:19.600,0:18:21.080 in the Babylonian 0:18:21.080,0:18:23.880 exile and then and this is what we got 0:18:23.880,0:18:25.400 to remember when we're reading the New 0:18:25.400,0:18:29.159 Testament it's about to happen again 0:18:29.159,0:18:31.320 okay and we got to to or to understand 0:18:31.320,0:18:33.120 what Paul's saying and what he's 0:18:33.120,0:18:34.600 prophesying you got to kind of we got to 0:18:34.600,0:18:35.960 get in a time machine realize this is 0:18:35.960,0:18:38.840 not just about me and personal salvation 0:18:38.840,0:18:41.280 okay he's prophesying about God's 0:18:41.280,0:18:43.840 judgment on Israel you remember we 0:18:43.840,0:18:46.320 started way back I think in the first uh 0:18:46.320,0:18:49.520 session you know we read from acts 21-22 0:18:49.520,0:18:51.840 when Paul came back to Jerusalem and and 0:18:51.840,0:18:54.559 a riot they wanted to kill this guy 0:18:54.559,0:18:57.159 remember that and what what happened 0:18:57.159,0:18:58.200 what were they screaming when they 0:18:58.200,0:19:00.080 realized who he was when he came back to 0:19:00.080,0:19:02.400 the temple at Jerusalem they they were 0:19:02.400,0:19:05.240 screaming this is the man who in every 0:19:05.240,0:19:06.960 place all over the diaspora is teaching 0:19:06.960,0:19:09.720 our people against Moses against the 0:19:09.720,0:19:14.080 traditions and against this place the 0:19:14.080,0:19:17.320 temple right because starting with 0:19:17.320,0:19:20.559 Yeshua and then his disciples he was 0:19:20.559,0:19:22.679 clearly prophesying just like Jeremiah 0:19:22.679,0:19:24.600 that in our generation and it took 30 0:19:24.600,0:19:27.400 years after the time of Yeshua 25 30 0:19:27.400,0:19:29.400 years that 0:19:29.400,0:19:31.360 Jerusalem the temple is going to be 0:19:31.360,0:19:33.600 destroyed again there's going to be 0:19:33.600,0:19:35.679 terrible terrible judgment just as in 0:19:35.679,0:19:36.840 the time of 0:19:36.840,0:19:39.400 Jeremiah Jeremiah talks about women 0:19:39.400,0:19:42.120 eating their fetuses terrible terrible 0:19:42.120,0:19:44.360 disgusting things of poverty of death 0:19:44.360,0:19:47.000 and destruction in Jerusalem and they're 0:19:47.000,0:19:48.240 say he's saying it's going to happen 0:19:48.240,0:19:50.720 again so when Paul he quotes these 0:19:50.720,0:19:53.000 things about a Remnant he not just 0:19:53.000,0:19:54.400 talking about well there's going to be 0:19:54.400,0:19:56.039 some Jews who get saved and believe in 0:19:56.039,0:19:59.200 Jesus all right he's saying 0:19:59.200,0:20:03.960 that God is about to destroy Jerusalem 0:20:03.960,0:20:08.000 and Judea again but he's always going to 0:20:08.000,0:20:10.840 preserve a Remnant there will be this 0:20:10.840,0:20:13.159 seed that cones a group of 0:20:13.159,0:20:16.080 survivors right and folks this is I mean 0:20:16.080,0:20:18.799 for for we as Jewish people this is like 0:20:18.799,0:20:20.280 you know I was thinking about this as I 0:20:20.280,0:20:23.679 Was preparing I thought you know this is 0:20:23.679,0:20:28.080 it's it's in our Jewish DNA this remnant 0:20:28.080,0:20:30.640 surviv 0:20:31.679,0:20:34.760 mentality or or reality I mean this 0:20:34.760,0:20:36.640 country Israel today is is a is a 0:20:36.640,0:20:39.440 Remnant country folks I'm I'm an 0:20:39.440,0:20:41.120 ashkanazi Jew which mean sorry about 0:20:41.120,0:20:43.200 that an ashkanazi Jew which means you 0:20:43.200,0:20:46.080 know from central eastern Europe okay I 0:20:46.080,0:20:47.919 grew up in the United States my 0:20:47.919,0:20:51.440 mother's side are third generation 0:20:51.440,0:20:53.760 Americans my father's side but 0:20:53.760,0:20:56.799 ironically my wife and I we discovered 0:20:56.799,0:20:59.600 uh that our ancestors came from more or 0:20:59.600,0:21:02.760 less the same area in the Ukraine okay 0:21:02.760,0:21:07.640 like 150 years ago okay hers came here 0:21:07.640,0:21:10.120 in the first Aliah in the 1880s why did 0:21:10.120,0:21:11.480 they come here because it was such 0:21:11.480,0:21:13.200 because of the Dead Sea and the spas and 0:21:13.200,0:21:16.919 the hotels no and the homos no they came 0:21:16.919,0:21:19.000 here they were fleeing pges you've heard 0:21:19.000,0:21:20.799 this word lately is be they've called 0:21:20.799,0:21:22.480 what happened in Amsterdam a few weeks 0:21:22.480,0:21:25.200 ago a Pome I think it's a little 0:21:25.200,0:21:27.000 overblown to call it a Pome whatever but 0:21:27.000,0:21:28.799 they're using a word of what happened in 0:21:28.799,0:21:31.240 Eastern Europe especially throughout the 0:21:31.240,0:21:33.720 generations when especially around 0:21:33.720,0:21:36.200 holidays like Easter when the ukrainians 0:21:36.200,0:21:37.799 and this would go to church and get 0:21:37.799,0:21:39.200 drunk and blah blah blah and then they 0:21:39.200,0:21:40.919 would go and let's go burn the Jews and 0:21:40.919,0:21:42.840 kill the Jews you know that was like the 0:21:42.840,0:21:45.640 sport and uh they were never the 0:21:45.640,0:21:47.360 ukrainians and the poles and these 0:21:47.360,0:21:49.840 people they were it was violent but it 0:21:49.840,0:21:52.120 was always short-lived I guess when they 0:21:52.120,0:21:55.600 you know when The Hangover left them um 0:21:55.600,0:21:57.600 they were not they were not they were 0:21:57.600,0:21:59.520 not systematic 0:21:59.520,0:22:02.360 fanatic ideologues like the Germans 0:22:02.360,0:22:03.799 right the Germans it was like when the 0:22:03.799,0:22:05.200 Germans do 0:22:05.200,0:22:07.159 something uh and that's what the H you 0:22:07.159,0:22:08.559 know the Nazi Holocaust became but there 0:22:08.559,0:22:10.760 was just these waves of pograms all the 0:22:10.760,0:22:13.440 time and so the people were fleeing that 0:22:13.440,0:22:15.360 her ancestors came here and we're 0:22:15.360,0:22:17.360 pioneers of the of the kib the kibuts 0:22:17.360,0:22:19.320 and this that she's fifth generation on 0:22:19.320,0:22:21.279 her mother's side which is very old for 0:22:21.279,0:22:24.120 for an Israeli but I think of her and I 0:22:24.120,0:22:26.120 think of me I you know I'm I'm this 0:22:26.120,0:22:28.840 close to having been not been here 0:22:28.840,0:22:32.679 because my ancestors you know another 0:22:32.679,0:22:34.400 stream of them they were in Europe and 0:22:34.400,0:22:37.240 they're gone they burned in the the 0:22:37.240,0:22:39.440 ovens of awit or something we don't know 0:22:39.440,0:22:41.279 all right but I was this close I mean 0:22:41.279,0:22:43.240 all of us in this country and those who 0:22:43.240,0:22:46.080 fled from you know 1948 and 49 from the 0:22:46.080,0:22:48.520 war and and the the Islamic Jihad and 0:22:48.520,0:22:50.640 all this stuff we're we're a we are a 0:22:50.640,0:22:54.640 Remnant okay and this you got to think 0:22:54.640,0:22:56.159 when you're reading this that it's not 0:22:56.159,0:22:58.279 just talking about the spiritual side of 0:22:58.279,0:23:00.000 it that there's not just going to be a 0:23:00.000,0:23:01.760 small group of of Jewish Believers 0:23:01.760,0:23:04.799 that's that's true but he's saying this 0:23:04.799,0:23:06.240 when when he says the remnant is going 0:23:06.240,0:23:10.159 to be saved this is the preparation for 0:23:10.159,0:23:12.039 the climax that we're going to come to 0:23:12.039,0:23:15.480 in Romans 11:25 and 26 when he says all 0:23:15.480,0:23:18.760 Israel will be saved not just the 0:23:18.760,0:23:22.600 remnant the whole nation is going to be 0:23:22.600,0:23:25.240 saved and when most Christians read that 0:23:25.240,0:23:28.159 they think oh sometime in the future if 0:23:28.159,0:23:30.440 if they have a positive view of the the 0:23:30.440,0:23:32.440 God's covenant with Israel they haven't 0:23:32.440,0:23:34.760 gotten a PhD in replacement theology 0:23:34.760,0:23:36.760 which you actually have have to have in 0:23:36.760,0:23:39.279 order to read Israel out of the Bible uh 0:23:39.279,0:23:40.559 like that you have to be very smart and 0:23:40.559,0:23:44.520 very well educated to do that um I'll 0:23:44.520,0:23:45.720 tell you a funny story if we have time 0:23:45.720,0:23:49.760 about that in a little bit uh and when 0:23:49.760,0:23:51.400 he said when he writes all Israel be 0:23:51.400,0:23:53.799 saved he's not just talking about 0:23:53.799,0:23:57.120 spiritual things he's talking about 0:23:57.120,0:23:58.760 Deliverance 0:23:58.760,0:24:00.520 salvation there's going to be War 0:24:00.520,0:24:02.440 there's going to be destruction all the 0:24:02.440,0:24:04.440 na Zechariah we all the nations coming 0:24:04.440,0:24:07.559 up against Jerusalem when Yeshua returns 0:24:07.559,0:24:11.919 he's going to save us in every dimension 0:24:11.919,0:24:14.799 of the word every all the promises 0:24:14.799,0:24:16.760 spiritual physic it's all going to come 0:24:16.760,0:24:20.039 together at this amazing amazing 0:24:20.039,0:24:21.559 climax 0:24:21.559,0:24:25.159 of salvation of the remnant and of of 0:24:25.159,0:24:29.600 God's people okay so that's um 0:24:29.600,0:24:31.559 that's the the teaching today that's the 0:24:31.559,0:24:36.720 remnant it is about us every one of us 0:24:36.720,0:24:41.279 like Paul saying I am an Israelite I'm 0:24:41.279,0:24:43.640 this I'm whatever but I'm called I have 0:24:43.640,0:24:45.880 the promises of God I have faith I have 0:24:45.880,0:24:48.520 the word of God it depends on me 0:24:48.520,0:24:50.279 Hallelujah I got to get up and do it 0:24:50.279,0:24:52.720 until until I as long as I have breath 0:24:52.720,0:24:55.320 God's got a purpose for me right to 0:24:55.320,0:24:57.200 believe that but not to fall into the 0:24:57.200,0:24:59.520 Elijah complex and think that it's all 0:24:59.520,0:25:01.799 depends it's just me no we're a team 0:25:01.799,0:25:03.480 there's a lot of other people we join 0:25:03.480,0:25:06.039 Unity we prayed a lot about unity all of 0:25:06.039,0:25:09.600 that uh and second that the remnant is 0:25:09.600,0:25:12.679 this principle of how God works in the 0:25:12.679,0:25:16.080 world in every country in every place 0:25:16.080,0:25:17.559 you know if you're if you want to 0:25:17.559,0:25:20.039 support missions in some country you got 0:25:20.039,0:25:22.080 to you find if there's two Believers in 0:25:22.080,0:25:23.799 that country among that people group 0:25:23.799,0:25:25.760 that's where you start you start praying 0:25:25.760,0:25:26.960 for them you start supporting them you 0:25:26.960,0:25:28.679 say okay how are we going to bring the 0:25:28.679,0:25:30.600 gospel to this people through them 0:25:30.600,0:25:32.720 that's how God's going to work right he 0:25:32.720,0:25:33.840 has always worked through that the 0:25:33.840,0:25:36.679 remnant principle and then third 0:25:36.679,0:25:39.480 remember that it's as it 0:25:39.480,0:25:43.679 continues this remnant of Israel idea is 0:25:43.679,0:25:45.600 not just an idea it's something that God 0:25:45.600,0:25:47.320 is is is doing throughout history with 0:25:47.320,0:25:51.240 our people we're a people that is a sign 0:25:51.240,0:25:53.640 of God's judgment and God's blessing 0:25:53.640,0:25:55.799 okay and he but he's promised that there 0:25:55.799,0:25:57.880 will always be these survivors he's not 0:25:57.880,0:25:59.520 going to eliminate he's not finished 0:25:59.520,0:26:03.080 with us until right and because of the 0:26:03.080,0:26:04.480 remnant we're going to see this either 0:26:04.480,0:26:08.159 next week or the or the following um he 0:26:08.159,0:26:10.279 when he says in verse 16 Romans in 0:26:10.279,0:26:13.679 chapter 11 he says if the lump is Holy 0:26:13.679,0:26:15.640 then the whole dough is Holy if the root 0:26:15.640,0:26:17.520 is Holy that's the remnant okay if this 0:26:17.520,0:26:18.840 little piece is Holy then the whole 0:26:18.840,0:26:21.600 thing is all right and what that means 0:26:21.600,0:26:24.480 for who we are today and how God's going 0:26:24.480,0:26:27.960 to work and bring this all together in 0:26:27.960,0:26:29.880 an amazing he is bringing it together in 0:26:29.880,0:26:32.240 an amazing way bashem Yeshua I'll tell 0:26:32.240,0:26:33.880 you a funny story I do have a few 0:26:33.880,0:26:36.399 minutes about this 0:26:36.399,0:26:40.279 uh um sort of replacement last week when 0:26:40.279,0:26:43.799 I was in that country at that conference 0:26:43.799,0:26:46.320 uh meeting different uh people who are 0:26:46.320,0:26:48.760 serving and sharing the gospel um 0:26:48.760,0:26:50.080 they're from different nations but 0:26:50.080,0:26:52.039 they're working in in Middle East mostly 0:26:52.039,0:26:55.039 in in Muslim countries and uh they 0:26:55.039,0:26:58.720 talked about how with the what they call 0:26:58.720,0:27:01.240 the mbb you all know what that means the 0:27:01.240,0:27:04.320 Muslim background believer as opposed to 0:27:04.320,0:27:06.520 in the Arab in the Arab world like in 0:27:06.520,0:27:10.799 Israel or in Lebanon you have also um a 0:27:10.799,0:27:13.039 a group used to be a lot larger but a 0:27:13.039,0:27:15.000 lot of them have have left but of of 0:27:15.000,0:27:18.000 traditional Christians Greek Orthodox 0:27:18.000,0:27:21.480 Catholic marinite in uh and Protestant 0:27:21.480,0:27:23.760 much of it is cultural you know we know 0:27:23.760,0:27:25.600 from our our brothers here there a lot 0:27:25.600,0:27:27.279 of the evangelism that they do is also 0:27:27.279,0:27:30.440 to to these sort of cultural Christians 0:27:30.440,0:27:33.279 um but these folks were comparing their 0:27:33.279,0:27:36.600 their experience with both groups when 0:27:36.600,0:27:37.840 it comes to 0:27:37.840,0:27:40.279 Israel you know because listen when you 0:27:40.279,0:27:42.320 go out in these in these countries and 0:27:42.320,0:27:44.240 you're sharing the gospel or you want to 0:27:44.240,0:27:46.519 share the gospel with a Muslim person 0:27:46.519,0:27:49.200 you know generally the handbook doesn't 0:27:49.200,0:27:50.480 say that you know the first thing you 0:27:50.480,0:27:54.159 should say is Hi you know Yeshua loves 0:27:54.159,0:27:56.720 you he's the son of Abraham Isaac and 0:27:56.720,0:27:59.200 Jacob the god of Israel you know that's 0:27:59.200,0:28:01.039 not how you start in your gospel 0:28:01.039,0:28:04.000 presentation to a muslim okay at least 0:28:04.000,0:28:07.000 that's what the handbooks say right okay 0:28:07.000,0:28:08.919 um and why don't we start in Romans 11 0:28:08.919,0:28:10.399 and God's promises to Israel and how he 0:28:10.399,0:28:12.840 let Jud no you kind of you don't start 0:28:12.840,0:28:15.480 there unfortunately not only do most 0:28:15.480,0:28:17.120 people not start there they never get 0:28:17.120,0:28:19.000 there it's it's something you kind of 0:28:19.000,0:28:21.039 want to just avoid and it's a lot easier 0:28:21.039,0:28:23.360 to preach a very sort of Gentile 0:28:23.360,0:28:25.360 Christian Christianity replacement 0:28:25.360,0:28:27.600 theology Jesus you know personal 0:28:27.600,0:28:29.240 salvation 0:28:29.240,0:28:31.000 but what happens then is then there's 0:28:31.000,0:28:32.760 all this influence from Islam and the 0:28:32.760,0:28:34.480 culture that becomes very anti 0:28:34.480,0:28:36.320 anti-israel they were telling us what 0:28:36.320,0:28:38.039 we've heard and known for for a long 0:28:38.039,0:28:40.440 time that it's actually among these two 0:28:40.440,0:28:44.200 groups of Arabs or lebanes or whatever 0:28:44.200,0:28:45.640 that it's the Muslim background 0:28:45.640,0:28:49.000 believers who have a much easier time 0:28:49.000,0:28:52.000 embracing God's promises to Israel and 0:28:52.000,0:28:55.000 they're saying yeah and they say I said 0:28:55.000,0:28:57.360 this I said when you know when a Muslim 0:28:57.360,0:29:00.039 very often comes to Faith uh it's like 0:29:00.039,0:29:01.600 they put a Target on their chest that 0:29:01.600,0:29:03.200 says shoot me I mean their families 0:29:03.200,0:29:05.679 their their neighborhoods it's very 0:29:05.679,0:29:08.080 dangerous okay so you're a dead man 0:29:08.080,0:29:10.320 already to put another Target on your 0:29:10.320,0:29:12.519 back it says God loves Israel all right 0:29:12.519,0:29:15.039 shoot me again you know they've died to 0:29:15.039,0:29:16.919 that fear right and so they're just 0:29:16.919,0:29:18.440 willing to go all the way with with 0:29:18.440,0:29:20.200 God's truth whatever it is the other 0:29:20.200,0:29:22.159 thing is that they're they're so fresh 0:29:22.159,0:29:23.679 to the 0:29:23.679,0:29:25.760 scriptures right and they've been 0:29:25.760,0:29:27.159 reading the Quran all their life and now 0:29:27.159,0:29:28.760 they realize the Quran is full of all 0:29:28.760,0:29:30.799 this weird stuff and lies and twists of 0:29:30.799,0:29:32.279 of the Bible they're so excited about 0:29:32.279,0:29:34.320 the word of God they read Romans 9:111 0:29:34.320,0:29:36.360 it's like wow a man God praise God let's 0:29:36.360,0:29:39.080 pray for Israel they were saying it just 0:29:39.080,0:29:42.320 happens very naturally that but with the 0:29:42.320,0:29:43.519 with those from the traditional 0:29:43.519,0:29:44.880 Christian background they've got these 0:29:44.880,0:29:46.880 Century even if they're cultural these 0:29:46.880,0:29:49.080 centuries of all this CH this teaching 0:29:49.080,0:29:50.240 which is very 0:29:50.240,0:29:53.960 complex I mean to read Romans 11 what we 0:29:53.960,0:29:58.080 just read today I say then has God 0:29:58.080,0:30:03.000 rejected his people uh no I mean to take 0:30:03.000,0:30:05.200 that and have it mean something else you 0:30:05.200,0:30:07.200 have to be very 0:30:07.200,0:30:09.360 smart very well trained you need at 0:30:09.360,0:30:12.320 least a master's degree in theology 0:30:12.320,0:30:15.799 probably a PhD okay to read Romans 25 0:30:15.799,0:30:18.799 and says all Israel be saved and to make 0:30:18.799,0:30:22.159 that Israel be the church okay you you 0:30:22.159,0:30:24.200 need to be very very well 0:30:24.200,0:30:26.799 educated okay if you're just a normal 0:30:26.799,0:30:29.399 person like Paul 0:30:29.399,0:30:31.559 who was also well educated but anyway he 0:30:31.559,0:30:33.440 didn't have a master's or PhD from these 0:30:33.440,0:30:37.440 seminaries and uh it's just it it was 0:30:37.440,0:30:39.279 just a good reminder from these from 0:30:39.279,0:30:41.000 these missionaries to see how they're 0:30:41.000,0:30:42.880 experiencing the different groups of of 0:30:42.880,0:30:46.440 people amen
