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