00:00:59,440 course Paul's burden and then we got to 24 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,120 verse 6 this crisis has the word of God 25 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,839 come to no effect and we talked a lot 26 00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:06,640 about what that means and what people 27 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,240 were saying and all what's happened to 28 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,000 the promises of Israel the Jewish people 29 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,680 to Jerusalem and remember Paul was 30 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,680 writing all this 10 15 years before the 31 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,439 destruction of Jerusalem in the temple 32 00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:21,119 but it was like prophetically announcing 33 00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:23,479 seeing this coming and what it would 34 00:01:23,479 --> 00:01:25,799 mean for people who were reading the the 35 00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:27,720 Bible which was the Old Testament at the 36 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,759 time right what we call and seeing all 37 00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:31,360 these Promises of the glory and 38 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,200 restoration of Jerusalem and the Jewish 39 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,840 people coming back and instead the 40 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,399 opposite happened and he is going to I 41 00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:41,280 told you he's going to lay out that this 42 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,960 word of God has not 43 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:45,640 failed but there's some surprises and 44 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,680 it's coming to pass in three big 45 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,600 categories paradigms you guys remember 46 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,360 what they are I'm just going to keep on 47 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,079 nailing it and hitting them the first 48 00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:55,439 one is the remnant that's the one we're 49 00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:57,640 going to focus on today the second one 50 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,479 is the Gentiles the Nations the new man 51 00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:03,240 that was the big surprise right and then 52 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,960 the third one we're going to get to in a 53 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,200 week or two is Romans 11 the ultimate 54 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,000 fullness of all the promises of God in 55 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,720 this and then last week last two weeks 56 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,400 we focused on Romans 10 it's like Paul 57 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,720 kind of pauses and says well I'm I'm 58 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,000 teaching you all these big theological 59 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,760 things about the word of God and history 60 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,720 and prophecy but don't forget folks it 61 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,440 all happens in him in the gospel right 62 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,319 this simple gospel that we Proclaim that 63 00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:31,800 we're sent out for and that's how it's 64 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,760 going to happen for the remnant for the 65 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,440 one new man and the ultimate fullness 66 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,040 it's all about him there's no dual 67 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,440 covenant where the Jewish people are 68 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,319 going to get saved by coming in through 69 00:02:41,319 --> 00:02:43,519 a back door of Moses and the Torah 70 00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:46,440 without Yeshua no no no it's all in him 71 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,640 remember Romans 10 okay um so today 72 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,080 we're we finished Romans 10 last week 73 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,440 we're going to start into Romans 11 and 74 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,080 I have to tell you I've been I hope you 75 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,080 admire my patience I

some great stuff but I I've taken 79 00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:07,360 my time getting there because there's 80 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,560 all this other stuff right you just got 81 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,159 to stop and and dig into and I'm 82 00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:13,400 reminding you of something I've said 83 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,280 almost every time we're going to go into 84 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,080 the scriptures that Paul quotes remember 85 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,159 the iceberg principle right all of he 86 00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:24,200 quotes hundreds of times in the Book of 87 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,120 Romans from the Tanakh from the Old 88 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,360 Testament and it it's the iceberg 89 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,000 through what the verse is just the tip 90 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,720 of the iceberg right he's not just sort 91 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,439 of you know randomly pulling things out 92 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,920 of this there's a reason and you got to 93 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,400 stop and if you want to enrich your 94 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Bible study and your devotion you got to 95 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,319 stop and go wait a minute this is Isaiah 96 00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:47,360 chapter 1 what's going on in Isaiah 97 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,799 chapter let's go back to those verses 98 00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:51,480 and read them and the context and the 99 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,360 spirit of what's going on there oh 100 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,840 there's a whole other there's a whole 101 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,159 lot more that Paul's referring to right 102 00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:00,840 we're going to do that Romans 11 1 2 1 103 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,360 and two I say then God has not rejected 104 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,400 his people has he may it never 105 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,040 be for I too am an Israelite a 106 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,760 descendant of Abraham of The Tribe of 107 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,120 Benjamin God has not rejected his people 108 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,639 whom he 109 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:21,000 forew okay um now he does this you know 110 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,600 it's kind of a rhetorical question you 111 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,400 know all that means he's he starts with 112 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,240 a question is God rejected his people he 113 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,600 ask the question so that he can answer 114 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,400 it right well what what's why is he 115 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,800 asking that question well that's the end 116 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,960 of we have to go back to the end of 117 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,160 Romans 10 and the last few verses of 118 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,520 Romans 10 he quotes from Isaiah 65 about 119 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,479 God reaching his hands out all day long 120 00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:45,479 to an obstinate idolatrous Nation who 121 00:04:45,479 --> 00:04:47,680 are rebelling against him and playing 122 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,160 the Harlot with all of that that's 123 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,479 Israel right and his judgment and 124 00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:55,639 rejection of Israel right and he said 125 00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,160 okay well guys what am I saying am I 126 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,880 saying that God's finished with Israel 127 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,440 that this is the last 128 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,240 word about Israel has God rejected no no 129 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,039 no no that's not what I'm saying let me 130 00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:07,080 tell 131 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,639 you and the first thing is as we've been 132 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:11,440 studying it's the remnant The Remnant 133 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,160 and here he kind of gets into what this 134 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,639 whole Remnant thing is and we're going 135 00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:16,280 to study this and also go back to the 136 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:17,840 end of Romans nine where he talks a lot 137 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,720 about the remnant too 138 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,880 um you 139 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,680 know his he said he asked the question 140 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,280 has God rejected his 141 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:29,479 people and then he says no may it never 142 00:05:29,479 --> 00:05:31,520 be and then what does he say he says 143 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,919 basically look at me right I he doesn't 144 00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:37,759 say well look at the Jerusalem Church 145 00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:39,360 there's 10,000 people in the back there 146 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,960 and there's there God is Not rejected 147 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,280 there's a Remnant he doesn't say he says 148 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:47,520 I I am an Israelite a descendant of 149 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,720 Abraham of The Tribe of Benjamin 150 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,199 therefore God has not rejected his 151 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:53,120 people you got stop and thinking about 152 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,120 that go that's 153 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,240 pretty pompous maybe a little arrogant 154 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880 to say say all the promises of is to 155 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,039 Israel God has not rejected his people 156 00:06:04,039 --> 00:06:06,440 because I believe because I have the 157 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,039 Holy 158 00:06:08,039 --> 00:06:11,120 Spirit um have you ever thought that way 159 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,560 have you ever felt like maybe you're the 160 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,639 only one or the only true faithful one 161 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:18,039 who really gets 162 00:06:18,039 --> 00:06:20,919 it it's kind of I think all of us go 163 00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:22,800 through that if especially if you're 164 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,759 like a really successful anointed 165 00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:26,360 minister with a big Ministry you know 166 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,960 you start to think like I'm it you know 167 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,080 and uh without me God couldn't do his 168 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,880 work and all that then what Paul does to 169 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,360 sort of back up and to and to strengthen 170 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,880 what he's trying to say he tells the 171 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,199 story of Elijah okay that's the rest of 172 00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:44,960 verse two or don't you know what the 173 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,560 scripture says in the passage about 174 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,520 Elijah how he pleads with God against 175 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,039 Israel all right now this is you got to 176 00:06:53,039 --> 00:06:54,680 go back to the story in First Kings 177 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440 chapter 171 1819 the story

00:08:52,880 unsuccessfully um and you know what God 224 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,000 says and what Paul quotes in Romans 11 225 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,519 God's answer 226 00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:00,200 is Elijah chill out 227 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,320 all right he didn't say that but that's 228 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,160 modern paraphrase okay modern California 229 00:09:05,160

of 236 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,959 remember this is what Paul this is the 237 00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:25,800 story that Paul is quoting and you got 238 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,440 to think about Paul you know I think he 239 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,959 felt like Elijah sometimes 240 00:09:29,959 --> 00:09:33,279 you know he said in Colossians chapter 4 241 00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:34,560 when he's giving these greetings and 242 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:36,240 talking about this and that people and 243 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,560 greet this guy and he 244 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:41,560 says this in verses 10 and 11 arist 245 00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:44,519 arist arus my fellow prisoner sends you 246 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:48,240 his greetings also Barnabas and Mark uh 247 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,760 welcome him and yes Jesus Yeshua who is 248 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,120 called Justice it shows you that the 249 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,760 name Yeshua was a common name among 250 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,800 Jewish people back then these are the 251 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,959 only fellow workers from the kingdom of 252 00:09:57,959 --> 00:09:59,920 God who are from the circumcision 253 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,880 did you catch that Paul in all of his 254 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,800 ministry okay he was raising up churches 255 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,079 and people and schools and disciples and 256 00:10:08,079 --> 00:10:10,040 this that and for sending them out he 257 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,640 had I think it's two it depends how you 258 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,640 read it could be three there were two 259 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,079 other Jews he could have there's Timothy 260 00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:18,480 too maybe you forgot Timothy oh three 261 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,399 all right from all of the Jewish people 262 00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:23,800 there were two or three who were 263 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,680 faithful workers with him oh he felt as 264 00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:32,800 a Jew pretty alone okay but he knew that 265 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,519 God was with him all right and I think 266 00:10:36,519 --> 00:10:38,040 for all of us you know there's this 267 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,720 there's this lesson here that on the one 268 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,519 hand each one of us has to wake up every 269 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:49,079 morning and think the entire kingdom of 270 00:10:49,079 --> 00:10:50,680 God depends on 271 00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:54,120 me uh and maybe I that's a little 272 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,639 exaggeration but but but I've got a 273 00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:58,440 calling there's a responsibility that 274 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,360 God has given me in this generation in 275 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,040 this place in this neighborhood in this 276 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,279 job and if I don't do it nobody else 277 00:11:04,279 --> 00:11:06,240 will and I've got to get up and I've got 278 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,279 to read my Bible and I've got to pray 279 00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,279 and I got to get out of all the negative 280 00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:12,079 thinking and complain because it all 281 00:11:12,079 --> 00:11:14,200 depends on 282 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,079 me 283 00:11:16,079 --> 00:11:19,639 well sort of but you have to think that 284 00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:21,560 way but on the other hand you start 285 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:23,560 praying like Yeshua taught us to pray 286 00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:25,200 how did you just pray what's the first 287 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,079 words Our Father in Heaven the first 288 00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:29,920 words you go oh wait it's not just me 289 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,320 it's not my Father in Heaven it's our oh 290 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,600 there's other people I got to pray for 291 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,160 them I've got brothers and sisters we're 292 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,079 together I'm not alone I'm not alone but 293 00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:42,920 I am called and I have a responsibility 294 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,120 and it does depend on me you you just 295 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,800 one of these biblical balances you got 296 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,440 to kind of walk in right not fall into 297 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,720 the Elijah complex where you really 298 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,320 think it's just me I'm the only one you 299 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,120 know everything depends on me God what 300 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,079 are you going to do without me no no no 301 00:11:59,079 --> 00:12:01,800 no don't think that way right but do 302 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,839 think that you you are unique and every 303 00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:06,959 one of us needs to rise up and take 304 00:12:06,959 --> 00:12:09,360 responsibility and then remember that 305 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,200 there's always 7,000 there's always 306 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,639 that's the first thing that Paul there's 307 00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:14,480 always been a Remnant there's always 308 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,519 been an organic chain of faith in Yeshua 309 00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,160 among the Jewish people throughout 310 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,079 history many of them were lost into the 311 00:12:21,079 --> 00:12:22,279 churches and this and that but they've 312 00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:25,160 been there God preserved it okay just as 313 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,720 he preserved the davidic line through 314 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,360 the Kings through the Exile all these 315 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,480 things God knows what he's doing with 316 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,959 his Remnant okay the second thing that 317 00:12:33,959 --> 00:12:36,440 we we learn from this is that you know 318 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,880 God works through this is the principle 319 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,600 of God he works through one he works 320 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,120 through 300 in Gideon's time he works 321 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,320 through a small Remnant right Yeshua in 322 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,120 John 17 prays he says I don't pray for 323 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,760 the world I pray for these those who 324 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,040 have you've have given them your word 325 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,760 they've known you I pray for them 326 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,160 so that means Yeshua we were just 327 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,000 interceding a lot here for the situation 328 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,680 the Middle East when we're looking down 329 00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:07,480 in the Middle East on Israel or Lebanon 330 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,000 what we should see first if we're in 331 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,279 Yeshua he feels and sees his body right 332 00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:16,079 and maybe one 333 00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:18,199 person 334 00:13:18,199 --> 00:13:21,519 right it may be 10 people but God says 335 00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:23,560 pray for them because that's how he's 336 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:25,240 going to work he's going to also do a 337 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,720 lot of other things as he's God right 338 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,560 but don't look at that look at that body 339 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:31,839 you're going to you're praying for 340 00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:33,120 another country you're praying for 341 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,720 Israel find the body find the one person 342 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,120 the 10 people find out what they what 343 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,279 their needs are pray for them Jews and 344 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:42,240 Arabs The Remnant God works through the 345 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,320 remnant and you know we yonas kept on 346 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,880 mentioning DNA today in our P there's 347 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,839 something in the DNA of the remnant for 348 00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:52,000 every tribe tongue and nation that 349 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,680 that's the deposit of God that's where 350 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:55,639 the covenants of God are and for Israel 351 00:13:55,639 --> 00:13:57,839 Paul is saying you know I don't know if 352 00:13:57,839 --> 00:13:59,399 you caught this it was if you know 353 00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:02,480 another place here Paul says very 354 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,040 proudly in a good way I'm in Israel I'm 355 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,600 a Jew I'm of The Tribe of Benjamin do 356 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,199 you remember when he used that language 357 00:14:10,199 --> 00:14:13,920 elsewhere in his letters one other place 358 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,880 maybe two Philippians chapter 3 what is 359 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,680 how does he use it there he says though 360 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,480 I myself might have confidence in the 361 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,680 flesh this is Philippians 3:4 and 5 if 362 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,720 anyone else has a mind to put I am 363 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,759 circumcised the eth day of the nation of 364 00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:29,720 Israel of The Tribe of Benjamin a Hebrew 365 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,360 of Hebrews as to the law the Torah a 366 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,160 Pharisee but then what you know what the 367 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,480 next verse is but all this I count as 368 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,320 rubbish compared he uses in Philippians 369 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,079 it's negative it's a negative 370 00:14:43,079 --> 00:14:44,639 Counterpoint all this Jewish stuff all 371 00:14:44,639 --> 00:14:46,040 this glory of 372 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,440 the here in Romans 11 it's the 373 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,279 opposite Paul knew what he was doing he 374 00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:54,519 knew when it came to preaching the 375 00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:55,920 gospel and a lot of things of the 376 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,720 kingdom of God 377 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,639 jewishness what a John the Baptist say 378 00:15:00,639 --> 00:15:02,639 if God wants to raise up children of 379 00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:04,920 Abraham from the stones he can don't 380 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,560 count on your on your your pedigree 381 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,240 you're Jewish you can't it's not it's 382 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,519 not going to help you on the other hand 383 00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:13,440 Paul says there's a Remnant and it's 384 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,120 significant and we need you need to 385 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,000 understand it and God has a deposit 386 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000 there and it's a positive thing okay 387 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,560 that's how it is in in Romans 11 388 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,680 um let's go 389 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,560 to the other place in Romans 9:10 11 390 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,240 where Paul really 391 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,480 emphasizes these this teaching about the 392 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,199 remnant okay and that's at the end of 393 00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:41,240 chapter nine I skipped this when I 394 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,000 taught uh chapter nine verses 395 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,480 27-29 okay and here he's quoting Isaiah 396 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,600 uh 397 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,199 10 um where the word of Remnant in 398 00:15:53,199 --> 00:15:55,279 Hebrew for 399 00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:58,160 those okay is repeated five six seven 400 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,720 times in just a few verses in Isaiah 401 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,800 Romans 9: 402 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,199 27-29 Isaiah Cries Out concerning 403 00:16:06,199 --> 00:16:08,600 Israel though the number of the sons of 404 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,480 Israel be like the sand of the sea it is 405 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,399 the remnant that will be 406 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,880 saveda for the Lord will execute his 407 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,680 word on on the earth thoroughly and 408 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,959 quickly and just as Isaiah foretold 409 00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:22,560 unless the Lord of 410 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,959 sabot itot had left us a posterity a 411 00:16:25,959 --> 00:16:28,199 Remnant we would have become like Sodom 412 00:16:28,199 --> 00:16:31,360 and would have resembled gamorra okay 413 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,319 I'm going to read to you what the first 414 00:16:33,319 --> 00:16:34,920 part those first verses according which 415 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,000 is Isaiah 10: 20- 22 Isaiah 10:2 416 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,880 remember this is the iceberg principle 417 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,199 okay now in that day the remnant of 418 00:16:45,199 --> 00:16:47,079 Israel and those of the House of Jacob 419 00:16:47,079 --> 00:16:50,040 who have escaped will never again rely 420 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,600 on the one who struck them but will 421 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,079 truly rely on the Lord the Holy One of 422 00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:57,880 Israel a Remnant will return the remnant 423 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,319 of Jacob to the Mighty God for though 424 00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:02,040 your People Israel may be like the sand 425 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,280 of the sea only a Remnant within them 426 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,679 will return here in Isaiah it says 427 00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:11,280 return Paul in R said we'll be saved 428 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,120 okay keep those two words in mind return 429 00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:15,640 and be saved a destruction is determined 430 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,919 overflowing with righteousness the 431 00:17:16,919 --> 00:17:19,839 context of Isaiah 10 is Isaiah preaching 432 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,439 uh about Assyria coming Assyria already 433 00:17:23,439 --> 00:17:26,120 judged the northern kingdom and he's 434 00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:28,400 saying God is going to bring Assyria to 435 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,840 judge also the southern Kingdom Judea 436 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,600 ultimately because of the repentance of 437 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,160 Isaiah and and King Hezekiah the 438 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,320 judgment is stopped right I don't know 439 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,840 186,000 Assyrian soldiers die outside 440 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,760 Jerusalem in one night imagine that kind 441 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,679 of Deliverance but then ultimately 442 00:17:45,679 --> 00:17:47,440 there's the the next generation is 443 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,679 Babylon which becomes the judgment and 444 00:17:49,679 --> 00:17:51,480 that's what these prophets were were 445 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,120 preaching about when they talked about a 446 00:17:53,120 --> 00:17:56,799 Remnant they weren't talking about a 447 00:17:56,799 --> 00:17:59,400 spiritual remnant 448 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,039 okay they were talking about a real 449 00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:05,280 physical Remnant a group of survivors 450 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,640 folks okay that that that God was going 451 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,039 he he judged Samaria and the northern 452 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,240 kingdom scattered them he's going to 453 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,360 judge Judea the southern Kingdom in the 454 00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:19,600 time of Jeremiah right and that happened 455 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,080 in the Babylonian 456 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,880 exile and then and this is what we got 457 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,400 to remember when we're reading the New 458 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,159 Testament it's about to happen again 459 00:18:29,159 --> 00:18:31,320 okay and we got to to or to understand 460 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,120 what Paul's saying and what he's 461 00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:34,600 prophesying you got to kind of we got to 462 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,960 get in a time machine realize this is 463 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,840 not just about me and personal salvation 464 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,280 okay he's prophesying about God's 465 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,840 judgment on Israel you remember we 466 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,320 started way back I think in the first uh 467 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,520 session you know we read from acts 21-22 468 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,840 when Paul came back to Jerusalem and and 469 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,559 a riot they wanted to kill this guy 470 00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:57,159 remember that and what what happened 471 00:18:57,159 --> 00:18:58,200 what were they screaming when they 472 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,080 realized who he was when he came back to 473 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,400 the temple at Jerusalem they they were 474 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,240 screaming this is the man who in every 475 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,960 place all over the diaspora is teaching 476 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,720 our people against Moses against the 477 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,080 traditions and against this place the 478 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,320 temple right because starting with 479 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,559 Yeshua and then his disciples he was 480 00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:22,679 clearly prophesying just like Jeremiah 481 00:19:22,679 --> 00:19:24,600 that in our generation and it took 30 482 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,400 years after the time of Yeshua 25 30 483 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,400 years that 484 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,360 Jerusalem the temple is going to be 485 00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:33,600 destroyed again there's going to be 486 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,679 terrible terrible judgment just as in 487 00:19:35,679 --> 00:19:36,840 the time of 488 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,400 Jeremiah Jeremiah talks about women 489 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,120 eating their fetuses terrible terrible 490 00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:44,360 disgusting things of poverty of death 491 00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:47,000 and destruction in Jerusalem and they're 492 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,240 say he's saying it's going to happen 493 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,720 again so when Paul he quotes these 494 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,000 things about a Remnant he not just 495 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,400 talking about well there's going to be 496 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,039 some Jews who get saved and believe in 497 00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:59,200 Jesus all right he's saying 498 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,960 that God is about to destroy Jerusalem 499 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,000 and Judea again but he's always going to 500 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,840 preserve a Remnant there will be this 501 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,159 seed that cones a group of 502 00:20:13,159 --> 00:20:16,080 survivors right and folks this is I

preparing I thought you know this is 506 00:20:23,679 --> 00:20:28,080 it's it's in our Jewish DNA this remnant 507 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,640 surviv 508 00:20:31,679 --> 00:20:34,760 mentality or or reality I mean this 509 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,640 country Israel today is is a is a 510 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,440 Remnant country folks I'm I'm an 511 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,120

okay 520 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,640 like 150 years ago okay hers came here 521 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,120 in the first Aliah in the 1880s why did 522 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:11,480 they come here because it was such 523 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,200 because of the Dead Sea and the spas and 524 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,919 the hotels no and the homos no they came 525 00:21:16,919 --> 00:21:19,000 here they were fleeing pges you've heard 526 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,799 this word lately is be they've called 527 00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:22,480 what happened in Amsterdam a few weeks 528 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,200 ago a Pome I think it's a little 529 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,000 overblown to call it a Pome whatever but 530 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,799 they're using a word of what happened in 531 00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:31,240 Eastern Europe especially throughout the 532 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,720 generations when especially around 533 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,200 holidays like Easter when the ukrainians 534 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,799 and this would go to church and get 535 00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:39,200 drunk and blah blah blah and then they 536 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,919 would go and let's go burn the Jews and 537 00:21:40,919 --> 00:21:42,840 kill the Jews you know that was like the 538 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,640 sport and uh they were never the 539 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,360 ukrainians and the poles and these 540 00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:49,840 people they were it was violent but it 541 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,120 was always short-lived I guess when they 542 00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:55,600 you know when The Hangover left them um 543 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,600 they were not they were not they were 544 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,520 not systematic 545 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,360 fanatic ideologues like the Germans 546 00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:03,799 right the Germans it was like when the 547 00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:05,200 Germans do 548 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,159 something uh and that's what the H you 549 00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:08,559 know the Nazi Holocaust became but there 550 00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:10,760 was just these waves of pograms all the 551 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,440 time and so the people were fleeing that 552 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,360 her ancestors came here and we're 553 00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:17,360 pioneers of the of the kib the kibuts 554 00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:19,320 and this that she's fifth generation on 555 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,279 her mother's side which is very old for 556 00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:24,120 for an Israeli but I think of her and I 557 00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:26,120 think of me I you know I'm I'm this 558 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,840 close to having been not been here 559 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,679 because my ancestors you know another 560 00:22:32,679 --> 00:22:34,400 stream of them they were in Europe and 561 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,240 they're gone they burned in the the 562 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,440 ovens of awit or something we don't know 563 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,279 all right but I was this close I mean 564 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:43,240 all of us in this country and those who 565 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,080 fled from you know 1948 and 49 from the 566 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,520 war and and the the Islamic Jihad and 567 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,640 all this stuff we're we're a we are a 568 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,640 Remnant okay and this you got to think 569 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,159 when you're reading this that it's not 570 00:22:56,159 --> 00:22:58,279 just talking about the spiritual side of 571 00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:00,000 it that there's not just going to be a 572 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,760 small group of of Jewish Believers 573 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,799 that's that's true but he's saying this 574 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:06,240 when when he says the remnant is going 575 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,159 to be saved this is the preparation for 576 00:23:10,159 --> 00:23:12,039 the climax that we're going to come to 577 00:23:12,039 --> 00:23:15,480 in Romans 11:25 and 26 when he says all 578 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,760 Israel will be saved not just the 579 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,600 remnant the whole nation is going to be 580 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,240 saved and when most Christians read that 581 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,159 they think oh sometime in the future if 582 00:23:28,159 --> 00:23:30,440 if they have a positive view of the the 583 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,440 God's covenant with Israel they haven't 584 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,760 gotten a PhD in replacement theology 585 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,760 which you actually have have to have in 586 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,279 order to read Israel out of the Bible uh 587 00:23:39,279 --> 00:23:40,559 like that you have to be very smart and 588 00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:44,520 very well educated to do that um I'll 589 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,720 tell you a funny story if we have time 590 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,760 about that in a little bit uh and when 591 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,400 he said when he writes all Israel be 592 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,799 saved he's not just talking about 593 00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:57,120 spiritual things he's talking about 594 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:58,760 Deliverance 595 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,520 salvation there's going to be War 596 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,440 there's going to be destruction all the 597 00:24:02,440

that it's all 617 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,799 depends it's just me no we're a team 618 00:25:01,799 --> 00:25:03,480 there's a lot of other people we join 619 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,039 Unity we prayed a lot about unity all of 620 00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:09,600 that uh and second that the remnant is 621 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,679 this principle of how God works in the 622 00:25:12,679 --> 00:25:16,080 world in every country in every place 623 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,559 you know if you're if you want to 624 00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:20,039 support missions in some country you got 625 00:25:20,039 --> 00:25:22,080 to you find if there's two Believers in 626 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,799 that country among that people group 627 00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:25,760 that's where you start you start praying 628 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,960 for them you start supporting them you 629 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,679 say okay how are we going to bring the 630 00:25:28,679 --> 00:25:30,600 gospel to this people through them 631 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,720 that's how God's going to work right he 632 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,840 has always worked through that the 633 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,679 remnant principle and then third 634 00:25:36,679 --> 00:25:39,480 remember that it's as it 635 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,679 continues this remnant of Israel idea is 636 00:25:43,679 --> 00:25:45,600 not just an idea it's something that God 637 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,320 is is is doing throughout history with 638 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,240 our people we're a people that is a sign 639 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,640 of God's judgment and God's blessing 640 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,799 okay and he but he's promised that there 641 00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:57,880 will always be these survivors he's not 642 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,520 going to eliminate he's not finished 643 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,080 with us until right and because of the 644 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,480 remnant we're going to see this either 645 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,159 next week or the or the following um he 646 00:26:08,159 --> 00:26:10,279 when he says in verse 16 Romans in 647 00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:13,679 chapter 11 he says if the lump is Holy 648 00:26:13,679 --> 00:26:15,640 then the whole dough is Holy if the root 649 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,520 is Holy that's the remnant okay if this 650 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,840 little piece is Holy then the whole 651 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,600 thing is all right and what that means 652 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,480 for who we are today and how God's going 653 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,960 to work and bring this all together in 654 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,880 an amazing he is bringing it together in 655 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,240 an amazing way bashem Yeshua I'll tell 656 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,880 you a funny story I do have a few 657 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,399 minutes about this 658 00:26:36,399 --> 00:26:40,279 uh um sort of replacement last week when 659 00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:43,799 I was in that country at that conference 660 00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:46,320 uh meeting different uh people who are 661 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,760 serving and sharing the gospel um 662 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,080 they're from different nations but 663 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,039 they're working in in Middle East mostly 664 00:26:52,039 --> 00:26:55,039 in in Muslim countries and uh they 665 00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:58,720 talked about how with the what they call 666 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,240 the mbb you all know what that means the 667 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,320 Muslim background believer as opposed to 668 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,520 in the Arab in the Arab world like in 669 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,799 Israel or in Lebanon you have also um a 670 00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:13,039 a group used to be a lot larger but a 671 00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:15,000 lot of them have have left but of of 672 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000 traditional Christians Greek Orthodox 673 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,480 Catholic marinite in uh and Protestant 674 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,760 much of it is cultural you know we know 675 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,600 from our our brothers here there a lot 676 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,279 of the evangelism that they do is also 677 00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:30,440 to to these sort of cultural Christians 678 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,279 um but these folks were comparing their 679 00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:36,600 their experience with both groups when 680 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,840 it comes to 681 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,279 Israel you know because listen when you 682 00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:42,320 go out in these in these countries and 683 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,240 you're sharing the gospel or you want to 684 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,519 share the gospel with a Muslim person 685 00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:49,200 you know generally the handbook doesn't 686 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,480 say that you know the first thing you 687 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,159 should say is Hi you know Yeshua loves 688 00:27:54,159 --> 00:27:56,720 you he's the son of Abraham Isaac and 689 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,200 Jacob the god of Israel you know that's 690 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,039 not how you start in your gospel 691 00:28:01,039 --> 00:28:04,000 presentation to a muslim okay at least 692 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000 that's what the handbooks say right okay 693 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,919 um and why don't we start in Romans 11 694 00:28:08,919 --> 00:28:10,399 and God's promises to Israel and how he 695 00:28:10,399 --> 00:28:12,840 let Jud no you kind of you don't start 696 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,480 there unfortunately not only do most 697 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,120 people not start there they never get 698 00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:19,000 there it's it's something you kind of 699 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,039 want to just avoid and it's a lot easier 700 00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:23,360 to preach a very sort of Gentile 701 00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:25,360 Christian Christianity replacement 702 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,600 theology Jesus you know personal 703 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,240 salvation 704 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,000 but what happens then is then there's 705 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,760 all this influence from Islam and the 706 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,480 culture that becomes very anti 707 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,320 anti-israel they were telling us what 708 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,039 we've heard and known for for a long 709 00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:40,440 time that it's actually among these two 710 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,200 groups of Arabs or lebanes or whatever 711 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:45,640 that it's the Muslim background 712 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,000 believers who have a much easier time 713 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000 embracing God's promises to Israel and 714 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000 they're saying yeah and they say I said 715 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,360 this I said when you know when a Muslim 716 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,039 very often comes to Faith uh it's like 717 00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:01,600 they put a Target on their chest that 718 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,200 says shoot me I mean their families 719 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,679 their their neighborhoods it's very 720 00:29:05,679 --> 00:29:08,080 dangerous okay so you're a dead man 721 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,320 already to put another Target on your 722 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,519 back it says God loves Israel all right 723 00:29:12,519 --> 00:29:15,039 shoot me again you know they've died to 724 00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:16,919 that fear right and so they're just 725 00:29:16,919 --> 00:29:18,440 willing to go all the way with with 726 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,200 God's truth whatever it is the other 727 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,159 thing is that they're they're so fresh 728 00:29:22,159 --> 00:29:23,679 to the 729 00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:25,760 scriptures right and they've been 730 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,159 reading the Quran all their life and now 731 00:29:27,159 --> 00:29:28,760 they realize the Quran is full of all 732 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,799 this weird stuff and lies and twists of 733 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:32,279 of the Bible they're so excited about 734 00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:34,320 the word of God they read Romans 9:111 735 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,360 it's like wow a man God praise God let's 736 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,080 pray for Israel they were saying it just 737 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,320 happens very naturally that but with the 738 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,519 with those from the traditional 739 00:29:43,519 --> 00:29:44,880 Christian background they've got these 740 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,880 Century even if they're cultural these 741 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,080 centuries of all this CH this teaching 742 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:50,240 which is very 743 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,960 complex I mean to read Romans 11 what we 744 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,080 just read today I say then has God 745 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:03,000 rejected his people uh no I mean to take 746 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,200 that and have it mean something else you 747 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,200 have to be very 748 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,360 smart very well trained you need at 749 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,320 least a master's degree in theology 750 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,799 probably a PhD okay to read Romans 25 751 00:30:15,799 --> 00:30:18,799 and says all Israel be saved and to make 752 00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:22,159 that Israel be the church okay you you 753 00:30:22,159 --> 00:30:24,200 need to be very very well 754 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,799 educated okay if you're just a normal 755 00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:29,399 person like Paul 756 00:30:29,399 --> 00:30:31,559 who was also well educated but anyway he 757 00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:33,440 didn't have a master's or PhD from these 758 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,440 seminaries and uh it's just it it was 759 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,279 just a good reminder from these from 760 00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:41,000 these missionaries to see how they're 761 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,880 experiencing the different groups of of 762 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,440 people amen
