1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: And Jesus said, unto them, I am the bread of life. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: that believeth on me shall never thirst. John six thirty five. Lord, 4 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: you are the bread of life and the living water. 5 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: You satisfy my deepest needs and fulfill my heart felt longings. 6 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: I am renewed and refreshed daily.

You are teaching me 11 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: to see from your perspective the spiritual battle this world 12 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: is facing. It is only through love that we will 13 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: triumph over the evil an injustice in this life.

Now, how many of you know that 26 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 2: Israel's been into some things lately, and we're gonna talk 27 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: about that, but we're gonna talk about God's covenant as well. 28 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, a bath uh. 29 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: He has not forgotten his people. I believe this will 30 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 2: be a blessing to both jew and Gentile. Let's begin 31 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: with this. We are in what is known as the 32 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: ten Days of Awe or the High Holy Days. Some 33 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: of you may know the Jewish New Year began. Was 34 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: that was that Wednesday Rashashana as it's commonly known, But 35 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: in the Bible Yam Tarua the day of shouting or 36 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: the day of blasting. The blasting of the trumpets, and 37 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 2: the blasting of trumpets could mean a number of things. 38 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: Sometimes the trumpets would would blast the the the military. 39 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: Uh not just in Israel, even Gentile nations. The the 40 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: trumpet would be woul would blast to let you know 41 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: they're coming. There would also be a a blasting of 42 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: the trumpet to to to highlight a victory. There are 43 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: a number of reasons why trumpets would be blasted, why 44 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: there would be shouting, and and and the ten days 45 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: of all begins with Yam Tarua, the day of of blasting, 46 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: and ends with Eam Kapoor. You've probably heard of Eam Kapoor, 47 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: the day of atonement. And we know in Christ we 48 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: have something even better than atonement. It's redemption. Praise God 49 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: that not only do we have a covering, but a 50 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: doing away. Our sins are not covered, but they're done 51 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: away with as a result of the redemptive work of Jesus. 52 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: But there is still atonement in our salvation package. Thank 53 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: God for that. But what does all of this mean? 54 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: Rakshashana means head of the year, which means it's the 55 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: Jewish New Year. The fact that it means day of 56 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 2: shouting or blasting is why its symbol is the show 57 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: far or the ram's horn. As I just mentioned, it's 58 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: the first of the Jewish high holy days known as 59 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: Yamm Noraim or the days of Awe. It's again ten 60 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: days beginning with Yamtarua, ending with Yam Kapoor meaning Yam 61 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: Kapoor is the tenth day of the seventh month. It's 62 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: the day of atonement, so atonement as well as repentance 63 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: are major themes for the day. The day is observed 64 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 2: by Jews by fasting, praying, attending synagogue for twenty five 65 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: plus hours. The day is also known as the Sabbath 66 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: of Sabbots. As a matter of fact, both Yamtarua and 67 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: Yam kapoor are are two of the high Sabbaths that 68 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 2: we read about in scripture. High Sabbaths. It is also 69 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: said to be the anniversary of the creation of Adam 70 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: and Eve. Go to Leviticus twenty three, chapter twenty three 71 00:05:53,520 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: and find verse twenty three. Leviticus twenty three, twenty Leviticus, 72 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: Everyone's favorite book of the Bible, good old Leviticus. I 73 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 2: love Leviticus, Leviticus twenty three, fine, verse twenty three. So 74 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: we can read about this day, this time, this moment. 75 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: If you have it, say I have it all right. 76 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: Leviticus twenty three. Twenty three says, Then the Lord spoke 77 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: to who, saying, speak to who, all right? So we 78 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: know who the Lord was talking to. Specifically, the Lord 79 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: spoke to Moses, saying, speak to the children of Israel, saying, 80 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 2: in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, 81 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: you shall have a sabbath rest, a memorial of blowing 82 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: of trumpets, a holy convocation of coming together, a meeting, 83 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: and a reading. You shall what do no customary work 84 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 2: on it, and you shall offer an offering made by 85 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: fire to the Lord. Now, in our modern era, I 86 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: haven't seen any Jews make an offering by fire. Verse 87 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: twenty six goes into yam Kapur, and the Lord spoke 88 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: to Moses, saying, also, the tenth day of the seventh 89 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: month shall be the day of atonement. It shall be 90 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: a holy convocation, a gathering, a meeting, and a reading. 91 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: For you. You shall afflict your souls and offer an 92 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: offering made by fire to the Lord. And you shall 93 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: do no work on that same day, For it is 94 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: the day of atonement. To make atonement to you before 95 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: the Lord, your God. For any person who is not 96 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut 97 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: off from his people. And any person who does any 98 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: work on that same day, that person I will destroy 99 00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: from among his people. Oh, that's rough. We do no 100 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: manner of work. It shall be a statute forever throughout 101 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: your generations and all your dwellings. It shall be to 102 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict 103 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: your souls on the ninth day of the month at evening, 104 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath again. 105 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: Who was the Lord speaking to Moses? And the Lord 106 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: told Moses to speak to who? The children of Israel? 107 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 2: How many of you know that everything we just read 108 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: has been fulfilled in our Messiah, finished in our Messiah. 109 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: In other words, the requirement and the obligation has been 110 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: done away with. Now today, as believers in the Lord, 111 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: especially Jewish believers in the Lord, we can celebrate Yamtarua 112 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: and Yam kapoor by choice, not by requirement. In other words, 113 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: if we don't, we don't have to be concerned about 114 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: being cut off from God. Because again, in actuality, Jesus 115 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 2: is our Yam Tarua and our Yam Kapoor, and he 116 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 2: is every other holy day and holy feasts. It is finished, 117 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: all requirements met. We rest in Him, and there's a 118 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 2: freedom there. There's a freedom to be able to celebrate 119 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: something by choice as opposed to obligation and requirement, where 120 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 2: if we do not do it, we'll be cut off 121 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: from our people and destroyed. Okay, Now, when you think 122 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: New Year you think the beginning of the year, don't you. 123 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: When we celebrate our new year, we celebrated on the 124 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: first day of the first month of the year. Well, 125 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 2: it's interesting that this is considered the Jewish new year, 126 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 2: and yet we read about the seventh month. Seventh doesn't 127 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: quite sound like new or first. But if you have 128 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: a little bit of biblical knowledge, you know that seven 129 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: is a very unique biblical number, don't you. Now here's 130 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 2: something else that we learn when you study out the 131 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: Jewish year. You understand that they have two calendars. One 132 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: calendar is the festival or ecclesiastical calendar, and the other 133 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 2: is the civil calendar. Now, in the civil calendar, the 134 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: seventh month is the first month, and the first month 135 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: is the seventh month. I want to read you something 136 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: here in Exodus. Go to Exodus twelve. Exodus twelve, fine, 137 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 2: Verse one. I have a lot to share with you today. 138 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: I guess I should stop saying that because I have 139 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: a lot to share with you every week, don't I. 140 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: But because this is a very unique day and I'm 141 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: not doing a series, I have a lot to share 142 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: with you, and I have to get it all out. 143 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: We already know. First Sunday is the long Sunday. So 144 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: put your seatbelts on, okay. Exodus twelve, verse one. Look 145 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: at this, It says, Now the Lord spoke to who 146 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: and to Aaron. We read a lot about this, don't we. 147 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: The Lord speaking to Moses at the time, the leader 148 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: of the congregation of the children of Israel. So God 149 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 2: goes to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt. 150 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 2: And what does he say. He says, this month shall 151 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: be what your beginning of months. It shall be what 152 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 2: the first month of the year to you. He didn't 153 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: say it would be the first month of the year. 154 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: He said it would be the first month of the 155 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: year to you, Moses, Aaron, and Israel. Now what we're 156 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: reading this sounds like the beginning of the year, doesn't it. 157 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: This month shall be your beginning of months. It shall 158 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 2: be the first month of the year to you. That 159 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 2: sounds like Rasha shana to me. But this is not 160 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: talking about that. This is talking about the month of Nissan. 161 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: This is when we celebrate resurrection, This is when Passover 162 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 2: is celebrated, and Nissan is the first month of the 163 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: festival Jewish year, but it is the seventh month of 164 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: the civil Jewish year. What we read about in Leviticus 165 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: twenty three, the seventh month of the festival year, which 166 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 2: is the first month of the civil year, is the 167 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: month tissery. Now in numbers, we don't have to go there. 168 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: You can read this on your own. Numbers chapter twenty nine, 169 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 2: verses one through eleven, we read about both of these 170 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: days and the specifics of the offering that God required 171 00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: of Israel during this time, the specifics of the And again, 172 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: no one's doing that today, even practicing Jews aren't making 173 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: that kind of sacrifice laid out in numbers twenty nine, 174 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: verses one through eleven. Nevertheless, in Leviticus twenty three and 175 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: numbers twenty nine we read about Yontarua and yam Kapoor, 176 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: the day of blasting and the day of atonement. Now 177 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: I want you to see something in the New Testament 178 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,479 Speaker 2: that I believe coincides with the day of blasting Rashashana Yontarua. 179 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 2: Look at First Corinthians, chapter fifteen. Go to verse fifty two. 180 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: First Corinthians, fifteen fifty two. How many of you know 181 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: that the coming of the Lord is a day and 182 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: hour in which we do not know as a matter 183 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 2: of fact, what did Jesus say. Only my father in 184 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: heaven knows. That is the coming, the parosia of the Lord. 185 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 2: That's the very end, when he comes with his as 186 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: he comes with angels, He comes with his armies to 187 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: decimate the armies of the beast. But before that, the 188 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: church must be raptured, and that will happen during something 189 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: known as the appearing of the Lord, the epiphania, and 190 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: we read about it here in First Corinthians fifteen. Now, 191 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: before we read this verse, we're gonna read one verse 192 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: in First Corinthians fifteen, and one verse in First Thessalonians, 193 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: chapter four. I want to ask you a question. First, 194 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 2: you might need to brush up on your revelation, the 195 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: Book of Revelation, just the tiny bit. But how many 196 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: of you may be recall in your reading, maybe in 197 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 2: listening to one teaching on eschatology, on the Book of Revelation, 198 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: how many of you recall reading something about seven trumpets 199 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: that'll be blown just by show of hands. And okay, 200 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: all right, we're gonna read something that has nothing to 201 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: do with those seven trumpets right here, First Corinthians fifteen. 202 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: Just look at this one, first verse fifty two. We're 203 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: just gonna read this one verse here. It says, in 204 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last, 205 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 2: what trumpet. Now, when you read last trumpet, you might think, oh, 206 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: this must mean trumpet number seven during the tribulation period. 207 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: That's not what it's talking about, because the seven trumpets 208 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: blown during the tribulation period will be blown in the 209 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: earth realm. This is talking about the trumpet blown from heaven. 210 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: Watch this, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, 211 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 2: at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and 212 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: the dead will get up. This is about the resurrection. 213 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: This is the trumpet blown from heaven, heralding the arrival 214 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: or appearing of the Messiah to receive his ecclasia, his church. 215 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 2: The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, 216 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: and we shall all be changed. The dead will get 217 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 2: up first, corruption will become incorrupt. Whoever remains when the 218 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 2: Lord appears, mortal will become immortality. Look at first, Thessalonian 219 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 2: Paul echoes this in first Thessalonian chapter four, verse sixteen, 220 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: which reads like this, For the Lord himself will descend 221 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: from heaven. Now watch this. He's gonna descend from heaven. 222 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: But his feet will never touch the ground, because this 223 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 2: is not the coming of the Lord. When the Lord comes, Oh, 224 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: his feet touched the ground, an and and and trust me, 225 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: everyone's gonna know he showed up. But the appearing of 226 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: the Lord, well, only the Church will be aware of that, 227 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: and aware in this sense. We know it's going to happen. 228 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: We still don't know when it's gonna happen. The Bible 229 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: says that Jesus will manifest his appearing in his own time. 230 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 2: It says for the Lord himself first, That'slordans four sixteen, 231 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: will descend from heaven with the shout, with the voice 232 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 2: of an archangel, and with the what trumpet of God? 233 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: That's the one blown from heaven, and the dead in 234 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: Christ will rise first. Now we know that his feet 235 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 2: don't touch the ground, because although it says he descends 236 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: from heaven, later on in the chapter it says we 237 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 2: will meet him in the clouds. That's the rapturo, the harpazzo, 238 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 2: the catching up of the church. Revelation four to one, 239 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: come up here, that's the rapture. It's a stealth mission. 240 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 2: Now this trumpet that we read here and the trumpet 241 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: we read in one Corinthians fifteen. Many believe, and I 242 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: am one of them, that this coincides with Rashashana. Now 243 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: think about this for a second. The Bible says, we 244 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 2: don't know the day, but even if it coincides with Rashashana, 245 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 2: Yam Tarua would still fit because we don't know which 246 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 2: yam Tarua or which day of trumpets or day of blasting. 247 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: But know, nothing done in Scripture is by coincidence or accident. 248 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: God always gave previews, types and shadows in the Old 249 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 2: of the New, So it would make sense that this 250 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 2: trumpet blown in heaven signaling the appearing of the Lord, 251 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: would coincide with these days or Wednesday that just passed Rashashana, 252 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 2: the day of blasting or the day of trumpets again, 253 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 2: which one we don't know, which means we still don't 254 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: know the day or the hour. Are you still here? Okay? 255 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: That's Yamtarua and Yam Kapoor. But again, this day is 256 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: about the day of prayer for the piece of Jerusalem 257 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: said to be the center of the universe. Do you 258 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 2: all have a map for me of modern day Israel? 259 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 2: Modern day Israel with particular nations also visible on this 260 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: on this map, on this image. It's all its way, 261 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 2: thank you Saints. It's all its way. Alright. Well, we 262 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: don't wanna waste time. So if I'm not paying attention, y'all, 263 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: let me know. Pass it as a humongous map behind you. Alright. 264 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: So this is what we're gonna do. We'll talk about 265 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 2: where Israel is placed and how she's surrounded by enemies. Now, 266 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: many of you have gone with me. You've gone with 267 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: my father to the Holy Land, and one trip in 268 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six in particular, when we left the Holy Land, 269 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 2: we drove right on over to Egypt. Now, Egypt and 270 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: Israel they're not besties. There's tension there. Now where is Egypt, 271 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: well from Israel, it's it's southwest right there at the 272 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: northeast portion of the continent we call Africa. Sometimes you 273 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: have to remind Egyptians they're Africans. Now, if you move 274 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: up through the Nation of Israel north, you'll find Syria 275 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 2: as well as Lebanon. How many of you have heard 276 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 2: about the strike on Lebanon in the news as of 277 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 2: recent So you've got Lebanon in one location, you've got Syria. 278 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: I remember one time, Mike Angel, you would remember this best. 279 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: Was it the Sea of Galilee where our tour guide said, 280 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 2: Right there, those are the Golden Heights. Right on the 281 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 2: other side is Syria. Right there. Syrian and Israeli relations 282 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 2: have been tense for some time. We all know right 283 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: now about the relationships between Israel and Lebanon, and we 284 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: know about the relationships between Israel and Iran. We have 285 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 2: read about this in the news, We've seen it reported. 286 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 2: Now just think about this, Oh where's my map? Because 287 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: I want you to see again where Israel is placed 288 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 2: and where all these other nations are placed, and you 289 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: kind of have to ask yourself the question, how are 290 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 2: they still here? There has to be again watch this. 291 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: We're not tolerating everything Israel does. Okay, let's be clear 292 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: about that. They don't do everything right. I can respect 293 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 2: wanting to stop out terrorism. I cannot approve the killing 294 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: of innocent Palestinians. And so you can be for Israel 295 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 2: as well as for Palestinians having freedom and for Palestinian Jews. 296 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 2: Did you know there's Jews in Palestine and there are 297 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 2: Christians in Palestine. Matter of fact, watch this in Israel 298 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 2: and Palestine I'm gonna read you some statistics. In a 299 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: second Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran. You have Jews, 300 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: Christians and Muslims. Relationships between the three have often been tense, 301 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: with Muslim and Christian relationships being very strained and Muslim 302 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: and jew relationships being very strained. There have been times 303 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 2: where Jewish and Christian relationships were very strained. But Christians 304 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 2: are to never forget that we must love Israel and 305 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 2: pray for their peace, even if some of Israel is 306 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: found in christiandom no map. Huh, All right, here we go. 307 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 2: Check this out well, listen to this. Egypt has a 308 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 2: ten percent Christian population, with ninety percent of the ten 309 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 2: being Coptic. They even believe they're want to be first, 310 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 2: if not the first denominations. The Jews in Egypt today 311 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 2: number watch this anywhere from just twelve to one hundred, 312 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: with an unknown number not revealing their religious or ethnic 313 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 2: identity due to discrimination and other factors persecution. There are 314 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 2: synagogues in both Cairo and Alexandria. Jews have resided in 315 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 2: Syria since the Roman period, but today only three remain. 316 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: Oh wow. In the seventies, the Syrian Jews plight became 317 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: an international issue. The ongoing civil war in Syria has 318 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 2: caused Christian populations to decrease from ten percent to two percent. 319 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: Like the almost non existent Jewish population, the Christians in 320 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 2: Syria face many of the same challenges, such as attacks 321 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: on churches, because these are predominantly Islamic republics or Islamic states. 322 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 2: Christians in Lebanon watch this. Watch this. Christians in Lebanon 323 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 2: make up about thirty to forty six percent of the population. 324 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: The Jews, however, in Lebanon number about two hundred to 325 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: five hundred, and they are highly discriminated against. All you 326 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 2: have to do is look at what's going on between 327 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: these two nations, Israel and Lebanon, and you can see 328 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: why Israeli law enforcement considers Lebanon an enemy state. There 329 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 2: are about eight thousand to fifteen thousand Jews. Watch this. 330 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 2: In Iran, maybe more, maybe less. The conflict between Iran 331 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: and Israel is severe. Iran doesn't even recognize the state 332 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: of Israel. Interestingly, many of the Jews who live in 333 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: Iran feel safe, as do the Iranians who live in Israel, 334 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: albeit they are mostly Jews. Iranian Jews, or what some 335 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: would call Persian Jews. There are about watch this, three 336 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 2: hundred thousand Christians in Iran. The Iranian constitution states Christianity, Judaism, 337 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 2: and watch this. I didn't even know this religion still 338 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 2: had followers a religion known as Zoroastrianism. And I believe 339 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 2: that Zoroastrianism is still allowed in Iran because it was 340 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: born in ancient Iran. The prophet Zoraster was an Iranian prophet. 341 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: So their constitution states Christianity, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism can publicly 342 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: worship within the limits of the law. Accept Guess what, 343 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 2: unless you've converted from Islam to any one of those 344 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 2: three religions. Wow, then you can't worship because you've left 345 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: the predominant religion of that republic or of that state. 346 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 2: All right, it's okay, not a problem, not a problem. Now, 347 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 2: watch this. In Israel, Islam is the second largest religion 348 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: in Israel, behind Judaism. Christianity is at number three. Israel's 349 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: government says freedom of religion is a core tenet of 350 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 2: their democracy. However, it presents a problem, that problem amongst 351 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 2: Christians and Muslims, in which both religions agree in the 352 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 2: nation of Israel that Israel cannot be both a democracy 353 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 2: and a Jewish state. And why do they say that? Well, well, 354 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: if you are when I say this to you, what 355 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 2: do you think If I say this particular country is 356 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: a pure Jewish state, what do you think that means? 357 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 2: If I say this particular country is a fully Christian state, 358 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 2: what do you hear? What does that mean to you? 359 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 2: If I said this country over here is a Muslim state, 360 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 2: Islamic state, what do you hear? What do you pick 361 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 2: up on? Well, if it's a Jewish state, it's a 362 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 2: Jewish nation. If it's an Islamic state, it's an Islamic nation. 363 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,959 Speaker 2: If it's a Christian state, it's a Christian nation. And 364 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 2: guess what. The concepts of democracy don't align with a 365 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: pure religious state. That's how you know this country ain't Christian. 366 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: No I taught on this before, you've heard me say 367 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 2: it before. Was there a time in which we could 368 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 2: say the Uited States of America was Christian? Sure, when 369 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 2: they were still living at home with their parents Britain. 370 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: But when they declared their independence on July fourth, seventeen 371 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 2: seventy six, they became their own person, and there was 372 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: a rebirth. Yes, and in order again, in order to 373 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 2: be the ideal country, you got to allow everything. If 374 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: it's truly the land of the Free and the home 375 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 2: of the brave, then any religion is supposed to be 376 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: able to come here and practice their religion and their 377 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 2: culture and their way of life. And it be America, 378 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: because that's what America is supposed to be. The republic 379 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 2: that is America, which includes democratic tenants, is the ideal 380 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 2: place where you can live out your dreams and be yourself. Yeah. 381 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: If America was a purely Christian state, you all know 382 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: what would not be allowed in this nation. All right. 383 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 2: So in Israel, there are Christians and Muslims who see 384 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: it as somewhat oxymoronic that Israel is both democracy and 385 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: Jewish state, because if they're a Jewish state, then the 386 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 2: nation is Jewish. You understand what I'm saying. Okay, what's 387 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: this in America? I was really only going to focus 388 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 2: on these surrounding countries, the ones that surrounded Israel, these 389 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 2: tense states that surround Israel. But I figure, well, let 390 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 2: me give you some Israel stats as well as some 391 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 2: American stats. Sixty three percent of Americans say they are Christian, 392 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 2: putting Christianity as the largest religion in America with about 393 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 2: two hundred million followers. However, that sixty three percent was 394 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: that ninety percent in the nineties. Ye, Now, sixty three 395 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 2: percent sounds impressive, but not too impressive when it was 396 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: ninety That is a downward trend in this nation. There 397 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: has been a great decline since then. There are about 398 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: three point five million Muslims and seven point five million 399 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 2: Jews practicing and recognized Jews. That is, and that's how 400 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 2: it should be in this country, because that's what this 401 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: country is supposed to be about. A Muslim should be 402 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 2: doesn't matter what my religious differences are. The country, what 403 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: it represents, what its constitution says, allows for Muslims to 404 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 2: freely worship here, and Jews to freely worship here, and 405 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: Christians to freely worship here, and Buddhists and Hindus and 406 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 2: Toes and the list goes on. Yeah, alright, well, we're 407 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: just gonna let that map go and if it ever 408 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 2: comes up, we'll work with it. Are you still here? Now? 409 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 2: I wanna get into the fun stuff. Israel was already 410 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 2: important to me, but now it is so much more. 411 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 2: And here's why. Now these images will be ready. These 412 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: images will be ready. All I gotta do is call 413 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 2: out the number. Okay, here we go. Let's put up 414 00:32:53,440 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 2: first image number nine. We put up image number nine. Lease, 415 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: there we go. So we have an amazing Median audio team. 416 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 2: By the way, this image came up quickly because I 417 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 2: sent them this image. So maybe I should have sent 418 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: them the map that I wanted them to show. Well, 419 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 2: the only reason I didn't is because you all remember 420 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 2: during the pandemic how many maps I was showing. Okay, 421 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 2: so I thought they'd just go in the vault and 422 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 2: get one. But that's okay, all right, what are we 423 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 2: looking at here? We are looking at Pastor Fred Price 424 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: is twenty three and me this is my twenty three 425 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 2: and me, what do we have here? West African fifty 426 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 2: four percent? What tops that list? Nigerian? Nisea's in the 427 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 2: building clearly, all right, twenty seven point five percent, it's 428 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 2: over a quarter Nigerian. What follows Ghanaian, Liberian and Sierra 429 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 2: leone and all right, and this is broadly West African 430 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 2: four point six percent, Conglese in South Southeast African six 431 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 2: point three and gold and CONGLESE five point eight point 432 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 2: five percent broadly CONGLESE in Southern East African broadly sub 433 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 2: Saharan African point seven percent. And then here's the white 434 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: side of me right here under. That's a high number. 435 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 2: Look at that thirty six point three that's right represent 436 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 2: go right ahead. I'm one quarter British. When I went 437 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 2: to London last year, I told every brit every breat 438 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 2: I ran into, I'm one quarter British. I'm one quarter British. 439 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 2: I'm also three percent Irish and three percent Scottish. I'm 440 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 2: thirty percent UK. Now some of you have done this, 441 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 2: you've done your twenty three, and me you've done your ancestry, 442 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 2: so you know what you're made up of. Little bit 443 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 2: of French in German. Our family thought we would have 444 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 2: more French because my my father's middle name was French 445 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 2: and it was daddy's daddy or daddy's granddaddy that was 446 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 2: a full Frenchman. Who is the daddy's grandfather was a 447 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 2: full blooded Frenchman, So we thought we would have had 448 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 2: more French. Nevertheless, this is my twenty three. In me again, 449 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 2: the highest percentage is Nigerian. Well, that kind of makes 450 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 2: sense matter of fact, you see how much of this 451 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 2: whole percentage is West African because those of us who 452 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 2: are descendants of slaves, well, where do we come from? 453 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 2: Or where did our forefathers come from? Came from West Africa? 454 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 2: So this makes sense. So again, you're twenty three in me. 455 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 2: If you are what the world would call a black 456 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 2: person living in this country who would be a descendant 457 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 2: of slaves, your numbers possibly look like this now, you know, 458 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 2: depends on your shade of brown or black. That would 459 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 2: determine how much European you have in you. Okay, as 460 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 2: you can see on what some would call high yellow 461 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 2: or maybe golden or so anyway, all right, words words 462 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 2: like quadroon and octoroon. We don't use words like that, 463 00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 2: you know when you're you know, one quarter black or 464 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 2: one eighth black, etc. 465 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 3: Okay, that's a whole lot of stuff in me. That's 466 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 3: a whole lot of nations, a whole lot of cultures 467 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 3: in me. I got shim hamm in y'a fih in me, 468 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 3: and many of you do as well. Okay, Now again 469 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 3: this is my what this is my twenty three and me. 470 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 3: But for a while now I've been wanting to look 471 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 3: even beyond that. I've been wanting to. 472 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:49,000 Speaker 2: Go ancient and I found it. I found it. Let's 473 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 2: do this now. Please put up image number three, Image 474 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 2: number three. All right, this is what we see here. 475 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 2: Let me read it to you. This is this is 476 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 2: my this is my this is my DNA that goes 477 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 2: beyond and before twenty three and me m and I'll 478 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 2: explain to you the difference in this kind of testing 479 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 2: and what ancestry and t S and S similar companies do. 480 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 2: Neolithic Southeast Africa eighty one point one percent. That makes sense, 481 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,320 Speaker 2: except you have to consider Africa in its ancient day. 482 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 2: European bell Beakers says six point seven percent. I don't 483 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 2: know what a bell beaker is. In m most cases, 484 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 2: I would look up something like this, but I tell 485 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,760 Speaker 2: you what. They're European. And right under that, it says 486 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 2: Israelite five percent. Right. I I wanna s I wanna 487 00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 2: sit there for a second. This is my DNA and 488 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 2: it says Israelite. Right, it says Israelite. This is my DNA. 489 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 2: This is not theory. This is a DNA five percent. Okay, 490 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 2: Now let's look at this again. I I love Israel 491 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 2: always half why well, I'm called to walk in love 492 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 2: because God. 493 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 1: Is love. 494 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 2: And the Bible commands us to love His, his elect 495 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 2: of all. But when you find out you're one of 'em. 496 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 2: Ay now again, let me let me, let me be 497 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 2: very clear. I am pro Messiah before I'm pro anything else. Okay, 498 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 2: want you to be clear about that. That comes first. 499 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 2: But when I look at Paul's writings, I see that 500 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,560 Speaker 2: while he promotes it first and says it is of 501 00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 2: the utmost importance, he doesn't forget his ethnicity. Mm are 502 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 2: you still here? Okay, here's where we're gonna look at next. Oh, 503 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,080 Speaker 2: this one is this one. This one's just put up 504 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 2: image number one. This is called the fifty Regions tests. 505 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 2: By the way, this website is called Ancient DNA Origins 506 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 2: dot com. Ancient DNA Origins dot com. East Africans thirty 507 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 2: six percent, West Africans thirty percent. Now, if you looked 508 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 2: at my twenty three and me, my West African was 509 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 2: fifty four percent. But how come my ancient DNA shows 510 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 2: East Africa as the highest percentage because way back then, 511 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 2: you have to remember, there was only a North and 512 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 2: northeastern Africa. Matter of fact, it wasn't even called Africa. 513 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 2: It was the lands of Ham South Africans twelve point 514 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 2: three percent, Central Africans nine point one percent, This West, 515 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 2: this South, and Central Africans. I believe based on research, 516 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 2: they all came from Abraham. Abraham had a third wife 517 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,799 Speaker 2: in Genesis twenty five. Her name was Katura, and through 518 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 2: her he populated the remainder of the of the continent 519 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 2: we call Africa. But look on this region's percentage. We 520 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 2: see we see Northwestern Asians three point two north Persians 521 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 2: three percent, Israelite from one point three percent. It's a 522 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 2: different kind of test. If you're wondering why the other 523 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 2: one showed five percent and this one showed a one 524 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 2: point three percent, it's a different kind of tests. Because 525 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,440 Speaker 2: I'm about to show you something else. I'm gonna show 526 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 2: you my Hebrew percentage. Isn't that the same as Israelite? 527 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 2: Not in origin? Not in origin? First, I want to 528 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 2: show you this, all right, and please please no, I'm 529 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 2: not trying to make this about me. I'm I'm taking 530 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 2: this somewhere. Are are you all good so far? Okay? 531 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:04,760 Speaker 2: Put up image numbers eight, please image number eight. Okay, 532 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 2: this is a very small percentage. It's only two percent, 533 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 2: but as you can read it, my average genetic similarity 534 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 2: to the tribe of Dam two percent. Next image, please 535 00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 2: show image number six, Image number six from two percent 536 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 2: to six percent my genetic similarity to the tribe of 537 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 2: Zebulin or Zebulin. Next image, please show image number Let's 538 00:41:51,080 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 2: go with image number five. Image number five. From two 539 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 2: percent similarity to Dan, six percent similarity to Zebulin, my 540 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 2: average genetic similarity to the This is the Israelite portion 541 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 2: of my DNA twelve percent to the tribe of Levin. 542 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 2: But here's the one. Here's the one. Show image number four, 543 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 2: Image number four. This is the tribe that the lion 544 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 2: comes from. Now I'm showing you two images here because 545 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 2: what this test does is I mean, it's really detailed, 546 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:52,879 Speaker 2: and they'll show you your similarity with certain persons that 547 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,720 Speaker 2: they have found from ancient days. Some of the names 548 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 2: they just have named them because they don't know what 549 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 2: their names were. But I want to show you this. 550 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,520 Speaker 2: It says, of my average genetic similarity to the tribe 551 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 2: of Judah twenty one percent, Dan two percent, Zebulin six percent, 552 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 2: Levi twelve percent. I believe I believe I have similarity 553 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 2: to send me in two, but I can't find that image. 554 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,720 Speaker 2: But of Judah twenty one percent of the remaining tribes, 555 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 2: it was all less than one percent. But it says 556 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 2: my highest genetic similarity is with a woman by the 557 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,399 Speaker 2: name of Neka from the tribe of Judah. And that's 558 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 2: a forty percent similarity. Okay, so I have DNA evidence 559 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 2: that I'm in Israelite. Now watch this. You think I'm 560 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 2: the only one in this room? All right, let's look 561 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 2: at this. This is the one that intrigued me the most. 562 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: Though I took another test called the Semitic test. We 563 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,799 Speaker 2: know Israelites came from Shim, but other nations came from 564 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 2: Shim as well. Watch this image number I believe it's 565 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:19,040 Speaker 2: number two. Yep, put up image number two. Oh boy, okay, 566 00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 2: here we go. Look at this. I'm gonna start from 567 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:28,399 Speaker 2: the bottom the low too. Say I have a one 568 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 2: point two percent and one point three percent similarity with 569 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:39,399 Speaker 2: Ammonites and Moabites. Now, who were the Ammonites and the Moabites. 570 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 2: They were the children of Moab and Ben and I 571 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 2: where did they come from? Well, you all remember Sidam 572 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:52,319 Speaker 2: and Tomorrow, and you all remember a Lot and his wife. Well, 573 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 2: she was addicted to the city. So she turned and 574 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,240 Speaker 2: looked back and became a pillar of what But Lot 575 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 2: and his daughter remained. And what did his daughter say, 576 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 2: If we don't lay with our father, we will not 577 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 2: be able to preserve our genealogy. And they laid with 578 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 2: their father and produced the Moabites and the Ammonites. I 579 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 2: can't believe this. I'm a two point five percent descendant 580 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 2: of Lot. Let's take it up next. That says Hebrew 581 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,880 Speaker 2: two point three percent. Now, now you may say, well, 582 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 2: I saw your Israelite five percent and your Israelite one 583 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 2: point three percent, and of those percentages, the similarities to 584 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 2: the tribe of Levi and Judah, et cetera. Well, what's 585 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 2: this Hebrew here? Well? Remember remember today in the modern era, 586 00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 2: as far back as the New Testament, to be Hebrew, 587 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 2: Israelite or Jew was pretty much synonymous. If I was 588 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,320 Speaker 2: referring to the Jews, I was referring to the Israelites. 589 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 2: If I was referring to the Israelites, I was referring 590 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 2: to the he Paul shows us that right. It said 591 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 2: salvation was for the Jew first and then the Greek. Well, 592 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 2: you know that Jew had to include all the tribes, 593 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 2: because Paul technically wasn't a Jew. He was from the 594 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 2: tribe of Benjamin. So you know that when he made 595 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 2: the statement. By that time in the known world, Hebrews, Israelites, 596 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 2: and Jews were all synonymous terms. And we have a 597 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,960 Speaker 2: lot of words like that today, words that are synonymous, 598 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 2: but their original meanings tell us a different story. Well 599 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 2: way back in the beginning of time biblically speaking, that is, 600 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,839 Speaker 2: there were Hebrews, but there were no Israelites and Jews, 601 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,399 Speaker 2: because thee Israelites come from the Hebrews and Jews come 602 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 2: from the Israelites, working backwards in order to be a 603 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 2: Jew back then, and the first time we see the 604 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 2: word Jew in the Old Testament was attached to a 605 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,920 Speaker 2: man named Mordecai. It's called Mordecai the Jew. And what 606 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 2: did it mean to be a Jew Old Testament period? 607 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 2: To be an you were a Yehudite from the tribe 608 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 2: of Judah. So if you were from Judah, you were 609 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 2: a Jew. If you were from Dan, you were a Danite. 610 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 2: If you were from Reuben, you were a Rubenite. If 611 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 2: you were from Benjamin you were a Benjamite. If you 612 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 2: were from Levi you were a Levite. You all know 613 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 2: the rest. Well, where did Judah come from? Judah came 614 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 2: from a man named Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, 615 00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 2: which means any children Israel has will be an israel light. 616 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 2: So all the tribes that came or sons that came 617 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 2: from Israel, which produced tribes were the Israelites. And what 618 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 2: made up the Israelites again, the Yehudites, the Levites, the Semionites, 619 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 2: the Rubenites, the dan Kites, the Noftalim, etcetera, etcetera. Okay, Okay, 620 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 2: working back further, because Jacob came from who Isaac, and 621 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,480 Speaker 2: Isaac came from who Abraham. Well, Abraham came from a 622 00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,759 Speaker 2: very specific line. There's a line of Shim that genealogy 623 00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 2: is mentioned in Genesis is eleven, Verse ten starts off 624 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 2: with Shim. Shim's son was our facts it And we 625 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 2: go down this list our facts. It had Salah. Actually 626 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,919 Speaker 2: he had Canaan, and Canaan had Salah, and the list 627 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 2: goes all the way down. You get to Tera and 628 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 2: then you get to Abram, Nejor and Haran. Those were 629 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 2: his brothers. Well, there's one name that really stands out 630 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,400 Speaker 2: in that genealogy. We also see it in Genesis ten 631 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 2: twenty one. Hopefully we'll have time to get there. It's 632 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 2: a man by the name of Eber. He's in that genealogy. Well, 633 00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:40,160 Speaker 2: Eber actually gives us Hebrew. So the man Eber, the 634 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:43,360 Speaker 2: father of the Eberites, is actually the father of the Hebrews. 635 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,359 Speaker 2: And that line would then give us Abram, who then 636 00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:51,040 Speaker 2: gives us Isaac, who gives us Jacob, who became Israel, 637 00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 2: producing Israelites, who gave us Judah, who produced Jews. Fast 638 00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 2: forward to today. Again, the terms are all considered to 639 00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,720 Speaker 2: be synonymous. But if you go back to the very beginning, 640 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 2: if you were a hebrew Man, then any child you 641 00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 2: had was Hebrew, because that's what you are. If you're 642 00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 2: a hebrew Man and a Hebrew woman and you have children, 643 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 2: your children and Hebrew, even if they weren't Israelite. So 644 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 2: let me give you some examples. Anyone ever heard of 645 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 2: a child by the name of Ishmael who showed up 646 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:27,280 Speaker 2: thirteen years before Isaac. Well, who was Ishmael's daddy Abraham, 647 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,799 Speaker 2: and was Abraham Hebrew? Yep, So what was Ishmael now 648 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 2: is Mama was Egyptian. So what does that mean Ishmael 649 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 2: was half Hebrew half Egyptian. Joseph, for example, you all 650 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 2: remember Joseph, whose hater aide brothers sold him into slavery 651 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 2: and then he prospered in Pharaoh's kingdom. Well, one day 652 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 2: Joseph said, I want me a wife, and guess where 653 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 2: he picked his wife from. Guess where that Israelite Hebrew 654 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 2: boy picked his wife from the Egyptians. He took an 655 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 2: Egyptian wife and had two sons, Ephraim and Manessa. So 656 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 2: what does that tell me about eph from in Manessa 657 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 2: half half Hebrew or half Israelite half Egyptian. We see 658 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:24,720 Speaker 2: these minglings all throughout the scripture. It really gives us 659 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:30,800 Speaker 2: a vivid picture of the diversity of Israel. Israel's diverse. 660 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 2: Israel's not one color, Israel doesn't have one set of 661 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 2: facial features. Put that list back up image number two. 662 00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:49,600 Speaker 2: Y'all still here with me? Okay? Hebrew two point three percent. Again, 663 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 2: the children of Eber would become the Hebrews. And the 664 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 2: reason why I remember everyone spoke the same language. Y'all 665 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 2: remember that, right? You remember what happened at the Tower 666 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,960 Speaker 2: of Babbel, God confounded the languages, so they would not 667 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 2: understand one another's each Well, what happened all of mankind 668 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 2: God behind King Nimrod because he used his words in 669 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 2: a clever way. I mean, they just decided to follow old, wicked, 670 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 2: evil anti God Nimrod. Well, Eber said, not me and 671 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,319 Speaker 2: my house, and he didn't allow his children to participate 672 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 2: in the building of the tower, and therefore his language 673 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 2: was preserved. So the language of Adam became Hebrew and Eber, 674 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 2: and then you had all these other diverse languages. For example, 675 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,839 Speaker 2: what do I see above Hebrew? I'm five point six 676 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 2: percent Phoenician. I shared this with you. This is where 677 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 2: we get our alphabet from. I know you heard it 678 00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,640 Speaker 2: was the Greeks. They got it from these black skin 679 00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:46,040 Speaker 2: folk called Phoenicians. Just let you know. And who are 680 00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:53,280 Speaker 2: the Phoenicians? Canaanites? WHOA, I'm five point six percent Canaanite. 681 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:59,280 Speaker 2: But look at that top one right there, Ethiopic. Now 682 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 2: now forty four percent. The total percentage here is fifty five. 683 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,960 Speaker 2: I means I'm over half Semite. I'm a fifty five 684 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,360 Speaker 2: percent Semite. I'm fifty five percent from the line of 685 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 2: shim That's that's major for me, okay, I want you 686 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,839 Speaker 2: to see this. You see that Ethiopic. Now, when you 687 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 2: hear the word Ethiopic, what's the first country you think of? 688 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,160 Speaker 2: And why wouldn't you think of Ethiopia? Makes all the 689 00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,839 Speaker 2: sense in the world. Which, by the way, who were 690 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:38,279 Speaker 2: the Ethiopians? Well, let's go to Genesis ten six, with 691 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 2: your permission, May I take my time quickly? Okay, go 692 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 2: to Genesis ten six. We're gonna get the rest of 693 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 2: these scriptures in. I want you to see this. I 694 00:52:54,600 --> 00:53:04,799 Speaker 2: need you to see it. Genesis ten six, Okay, watch this. 695 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 2: It says that the sons of Ham were who cush 696 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,839 Speaker 2: You also see miss rahim Put in Canaan, okay, which 697 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,479 Speaker 2: means that these are Hamites. There are the sons of Ham. 698 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 2: Our European nations come from the first son mentioned Ya fifth. 699 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,400 Speaker 2: That's where you get your grease, your Spain, you're Italy, 700 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:32,319 Speaker 2: your Thracians. The list goes on. They all come from 701 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 2: Yah fifth, and then we get to Ham in verse 702 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 2: six and it says the sons of Ham were again 703 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 2: cush Put or cush miss rahim Put and who and Canaan. Well, 704 00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,319 Speaker 2: working from the end of the list, we know who 705 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 2: the Canaan Knites were we know that their land would 706 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 2: eventually become the land of Israel. Before that, you have Put, 707 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 2: who did Put give us? Anyone ever heard of a 708 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 2: nation called Libya? Okay, Put gave us the Libyans. But 709 00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,360 Speaker 2: back then, ancient Libya was all of North Africa west 710 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 2: of Egypt. So today you have in Algeria and a 711 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,279 Speaker 2: Tunisia and a Morocco. All of that was Libya. And 712 00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,080 Speaker 2: then before that you have Misraeim which means Egypt, upper 713 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:22,720 Speaker 2: and lower Egypt. And then before that you got Cush, 714 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 2: I got the I got the best team, got the 715 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,160 Speaker 2: best team. Okay, look we're gonna DV eight four second. 716 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,439 Speaker 2: I just want you to see this, Okay, can you 717 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,680 Speaker 2: can you guess where Israel is on this map that's 718 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,840 Speaker 2: right the center, the blue, and I just want you 719 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,240 Speaker 2: to see look at this.

Look here, the sons 731 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:35,239 Speaker 2: of Ham were cush. I want to focus on this 732 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:40,719 Speaker 2: cush because from Cush you get an empire known as 733 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 2: the Nubian Empire, Nubia meaning black well. Cush is also 734 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 2: known as guess what Ethiopia. You wanna know what Ethiopia means. 735 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna show you what cush and Ethiopia means. Put 736 00:55:52,760 --> 00:56:05,360 Speaker 2: up number image number ten. Please image number ten. I 737 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 2: don't know if you can see all this, but i'll 738 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 2: I'll read it to you. This is what cush means. 739 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:18,840 Speaker 2: Cushite descended of Cush. It means this is the wrong one. Nope, 740 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 2: you can't look at that yet. Close your eyes. Don't 741 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:22,799 Speaker 2: look at We gotta go on the right order. Gotta 742 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,200 Speaker 2: go on the right order. Okay, I'm gonna find it 743 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 2: for you. Here we go, let's go with let's go 744 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:37,279 Speaker 2: with Ah. There it is eleven, image number eleven. We're 745 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,160 Speaker 2: gonna look at eleven and twelve. Here we go, eleven, 746 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:45,480 Speaker 2: there we go. All right. Cush okay, Cush, it says 747 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:50,319 Speaker 2: in parentheses, or Ethiopia. Now today, if you if you 748 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,760 Speaker 2: see an Ethiopian or an Eritrean, they have very unique features. 749 00:56:55,480 --> 00:57:01,359 Speaker 2: But that's not how the the first Ethiopians looked. They're Ethiopian, 750 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,600 Speaker 2: but it's not how the original ones that came out 751 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,960 Speaker 2: of the loins of Ham look. You want to know 752 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:18,040 Speaker 2: how they look like this stage. Okay, watch this Cush. 753 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:21,919 Speaker 2: Cush was a son of Ham. I'm gonna I'm gonna 754 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 2: just be straight up with you. You wanna know I'm gonna 755 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:27,520 Speaker 2: straight up with you because mister James Strong in his concordance, 756 00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 2: he was straight up with us. Cush means black. Okay, 757 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:37,480 Speaker 2: that's what it means, which means Ethiopia means black. That's 758 00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:39,920 Speaker 2: what it means. It means black. Now here's what's interesting. 759 00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 2: One of the first examples that we have here is 760 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,600 Speaker 2: Psalm seven, and in Psalm seven we are introduced to 761 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 2: a Bingjamite who comes from Israel, who has the name Cush. 762 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna listen, let's just use a little common sense. 763 00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 2: Ain't no way my mama is gonna name me Cush 764 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:06,720 Speaker 2: if I don't look like I'm Cush. Cause you just, lady, 765 00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if you realize you just named Joe 766 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 2: son Black. And that was a Benjamite from the tribe 767 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,200 Speaker 2: of Benjamin who came from Israel. His name was Kush. 768 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,160 Speaker 2: That's number one, number two. We know he's the son 769 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:24,400 Speaker 2: of Ham, grandson of Noah, progenitor or father of the 770 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:31,520 Speaker 2: southernmost peoples located in specifically North Africa. The Nubian Kingdom 771 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 2: was found at the northern border of Sudan and the 772 00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 2: southern border of Egypt. Moving to the next image, I 773 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:39,880 Speaker 2: believe number twelve. This is the rest of the definition. 774 00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,360 Speaker 2: Here we go, right, the peoples who descended from Kush. 775 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,960 Speaker 2: Also the land occupied by the descendants of Kush located 776 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 2: around the southern parts of the Nile. That's who Cush is. Now, 777 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 2: Kush is Ethiopia. I just showed you my Semitic DNA, 778 00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 2: all Ethiopic. Well what is that? Let me give it 779 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,200 Speaker 2: to you in its fullness? All right? Put up image 780 00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 2: number eighteen. Image number eighteen. Y'all still here, okay, okay? 781 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 2: Image number So. I looked up Ethiopic and it just 782 00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 2: said another term for geez or az. I'm like, that, 783 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 2: don't help me. So I said, well, I need to 784 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 2: look up this geeze or gez. So put up image 785 00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 2: number nineteen. Please image number nineteen. Get as now watch this. 786 00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 2: This This shows you how folk on day one were 787 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 2: mixing and mingling. The sons of Y'a fifth. Oh, they 788 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,520 Speaker 2: definitely knew the daughters of Shim and Ham, and the 789 00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,919 Speaker 2: and the daughters of Shim knew the sons of Ham, 790 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 2: and the sons of Ham knew the daughters of Yathith, 791 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:06,000 Speaker 2: and whole lot of it. They were really knowing each other. 792 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 2: Why do I say that? What's this? That first word? 793 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 2: Forty four percent of my Semitic makeup is Ethiopic, which 794 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:22,720 Speaker 2: sounds like Ethiopia, which is cush, which means black, which 795 01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 2: comes from Ham. And yet Ethiopic, which is synonymous with Geez, 796 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 2: is an ancient Semitic language. How can how can a 797 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 2: language from Ethiopia be Semitic when Ethiopia comes from Ham, 798 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,280 Speaker 2: not Shim. Look at this, an ancient Semitic language of 799 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:48,160 Speaker 2: Ethiopia and Eritrea, which survives as the liturgical language of 800 01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 2: the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Churches. It's also called Ethiopic. 801 01:00:55,760 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 2: That's what this geeze is or gez. 802 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:08,920 Speaker 4: So so so that at some point some Kushites and 803 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 4: some Ethiopians got to know some Semites. 804 01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 2: Well, it's just like the Canaanites. The Canaanites were from Ham, 805 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,440 Speaker 2: but they ended up taking land that didn't belong to them. 806 01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 2: They took the land that would go to Israel. That 807 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 2: land wasn't for them. But the Canaanites were then again 808 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:32,760 Speaker 2: born from Ham. The Canaanites would become a Semitic speaking 809 01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 2: people and adopt Semitic ways. So we're really seeing this 810 01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,919 Speaker 2: mix of the sons of Ham and the sons of Shim. 811 01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 2: Now look at this. Go back to Genesis Sin. We're 812 01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 2: almost done. Bear with me, please, we're almost We're almost there. 813 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:56,160 Speaker 2: Look at this Genesis Sin. We already read verse six. 814 01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 2: Let's read verse seven. Now it says the suns of 815 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 2: Kush were Sabah. So these are the sons of black 816 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:13,720 Speaker 2: Black Havilai, Subtai, rah Ama, Septekah and the sons of 817 01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:17,680 Speaker 2: rah Ama were Siba. We're familiar with Sheba and Dadan. 818 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 2: They all came from Ham. This hobby Lah came from Ham. 819 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,160 Speaker 2: I read about Hobbylai in the Garden of Eden account, 820 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 2: but also in Shim's line, there's a there's a hobby Lie. 821 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 2: And today it said that hobby Lah is Yemen, which 822 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 2: is south of Arabia, which would didn't be Semitic. But 823 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,080 Speaker 2: I see Hobbilai and Shim and Ham just like Ethiopia 824 01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,920 Speaker 2: and Canaan. There's been this Hamitic and Semitic intermingling for 825 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 2: a long time. Look at hever said kushb got Nimrod. 826 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:52,760 Speaker 2: We know this account. He began to be a mighty 827 01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,400 Speaker 2: one on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before 828 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,760 Speaker 2: the Lord. Therefore it is said like Nimrod the mighty 829 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:03,080 Speaker 2: hunter before the Lord. Again, the word nimrod has been 830 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 2: used incorrectly to refer to people as idiots or or stupid. Right, 831 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 2: you would call there there were times I don't know 832 01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,200 Speaker 2: if people still use it today, but there was a 833 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,600 Speaker 2: time where you would call someone you thought was stupid, Oh, 834 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,600 Speaker 2: you're a nimrod, yeah, and they don't realize you were 835 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 2: complimenting somebody. H in this sense, Nimrod was brilliant. Y 836 01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,280 Speaker 2: he was a brilliant black skin man. But he was 837 01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,240 Speaker 2: also the most wicked man in the earth at the time, 838 01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 2: all right, So again not fully a compliment. It's why 839 01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 2: if you go back look at your Looney Tunes cartoons 840 01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 2: and you'll see why bugs Money always called Elmer Fudd 841 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,080 Speaker 2: the hunter a Nimrod, all right. That comes from the scriptures, 842 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:50,360 Speaker 2: cause Nimrod was the mighty hunter before the Lord. Okay, 843 01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,400 Speaker 2: verse ten, what's this? And the beginning of his kingdom 844 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,080 Speaker 2: was Babel. We all know about Babel. Babel would become 845 01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 2: Babel on Babylon Erec or erk a cad home of 846 01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:08,440 Speaker 2: the Acadians and Kauna in the land of Shinar biblical Mesopotamia. 847 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,160 Speaker 2: And then it says from that land he went to Assyria. 848 01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,200 Speaker 2: This is where it gets important. Assyria comes from Asher, 849 01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,960 Speaker 2: who comes from shim. So again you got a Hamite 850 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,800 Speaker 2: going into the land of a Semite and building his kingdom. 851 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 2: What does that mean? There was some mixing going on. Oh, 852 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:32,120 Speaker 2: Wat's this he builds Nineveh, abode of Ninas or Nimrod, 853 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,040 Speaker 2: rahabith Irk, Kala and Resion between NINEV and Kala. That 854 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 2: is the principal city. Miss Rahiem begot Ladem, and amen, 855 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 2: this is Egypt le Habim, not Tahim, path Rasim and 856 01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:47,640 Speaker 2: kash Leahem. This is what I want you to see. 857 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:53,360 Speaker 2: From whom came the who look at that the Philistines, 858 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,600 Speaker 2: who we know were enemies of Israel. We know the 859 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 2: most famous Philistine was the giant Goliath, whom David the Israelite. 860 01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:06,880 Speaker 2: The Philistines came from Egypt. Gives us an idea as 861 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 2: to what the Philistines look like. Okay, but then look 862 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:17,080 Speaker 2: at verse fifteen. Canaan begot Sidon. Sidon was a wealthy 863 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 2: Phoenician city. His firstborn in Heaf, father of the Hittites. 864 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:24,439 Speaker 2: And then you have all these heights right in verse 865 01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 2: sixteen and seventeen and eighteen, and then it says to 866 01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:31,600 Speaker 2: the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. In verse nineteen 867 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 2: says the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon. As 868 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:39,360 Speaker 2: you go toward gerrar of Philistine territory. As far as 869 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:44,680 Speaker 2: what anybody ever heard of Gaza, Okay, I'll give you 870 01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 2: a little more history. If you go to Gaza, or 871 01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:51,800 Speaker 2: if you want to see Gaza, where do you have 872 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 2: to go? You have to take an Israel Palestine trip, 873 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 2: in which we know tensions are are very severe there again, 874 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 2: let's ex out the terrorists. I'm all for it, but 875 01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:14,280 Speaker 2: a lot of collateral damage can't be for that. So 876 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:22,520 Speaker 2: my prayer is for Jewish Israelites, Christian Israelites, Jewish Palestinians, 877 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 2: Christian Palestinians to be safe, those not Christian to hear 878 01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,320 Speaker 2: the Gospel so that they could be saved. We as 879 01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 2: believers have to be for all of them simultaneously. We 880 01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:39,640 Speaker 2: can be for them but not tolerate some of the methods. Okay, 881 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:42,800 Speaker 2: what's this? So if I want to see Gaza, well 882 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,000 Speaker 2: that's where i'd have to go today. But wait a minute. 883 01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 2: Palestine wasn't always Palestine. Palestine used to be called Philistia. 884 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:54,520 Speaker 2: And who came from Philistia the or who built Philistia 885 01:06:55,200 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 2: to Philistines? That's right. So Gaza basically comes out of Egypt. 886 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 2: Who comes out of him? I want you to I 887 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:10,600 Speaker 2: want to show you all of these these interminglings. Okay, now, 888 01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 2: y'all got some patience. I mean, it's not it's not 889 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 2: gonna be super long. But do you have some patience 890 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:20,120 Speaker 2: so that I don't end abruptly. Okay, look, go to 891 01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:25,040 Speaker 2: Exodus chapter two. Now, look, we're gonna do Exodus numbers, 892 01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:29,960 Speaker 2: hab A, Cook and Romans, and we'll be done. Okay, Well, 893 01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,440 Speaker 2: I want you to see this. I gotta end with 894 01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:35,360 Speaker 2: Romans though, because this is the day of prayer for 895 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:39,880 Speaker 2: the peace of ye rue Chaleen. All right, look at 896 01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:45,920 Speaker 2: this Exodus chapter two, verse eleven. See, I gotta give 897 01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,880 Speaker 2: you all of this. Y'all know that I never I 898 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,120 Speaker 2: never take a short cut. I always go the scenic 899 01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 2: route when I teach, I have to. Now it makes 900 01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,840 Speaker 2: me a bit of a minority pastor and a minority teacher, 901 01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 2: But I gotta go to scenic route because I need 902 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:06,080 Speaker 2: you to see some stuff. Now, how many of you 903 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:12,760 Speaker 2: know that Charleston Heston is not what Moses look like? 904 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:22,839 Speaker 2: You know that right now, because of the racial tension 905 01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,840 Speaker 2: in the country at the time. I get why he 906 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:31,400 Speaker 2: was portrayed as Moses. I get it. For the day. Yes, 907 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,880 Speaker 2: it was still unacceptable because if you watch the Ten Commandments, 908 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 2: you'll see that black people work asked. But I get it. 909 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 2: You can't the main guy, the problem, though, is is 910 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 2: in today when the films are still being whitewashed. That's 911 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 2: so when Christen Bale, okay, great actor, Dark Knight, Batman 912 01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,880 Speaker 2: all day, but when Christian Bale is playing Moses in 913 01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 2: our modern era, that's a shame. But let me let 914 01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 2: me also submit this to you that they answer to 915 01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:23,920 Speaker 2: white washing is not black washing. It's not. In other words, 916 01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,439 Speaker 2: if history said a person was black, portrayum is black. 917 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,440 Speaker 2: If history says the person was white, portray them, it's white. 918 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 2: And don't try to respond to the ills of white 919 01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,200 Speaker 2: washing by making all sorts of historical white folk black. 920 01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:44,439 Speaker 2: Don't do that. That's not better. Okay, Why am I 921 01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,920 Speaker 2: saying all of that, Because if you wanna know what 922 01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,960 Speaker 2: the Israelites look like, you can learn from what the 923 01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 2: Egyptians look like. Exodus two eleven. It came to passing 924 01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:00,680 Speaker 2: those days when Moses was grown, and he went out 925 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:02,599 Speaker 2: to his brethren and looked at their bird, and who 926 01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:04,960 Speaker 2: were his brethren, the Israelites, the children of his room. 927 01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:08,680 Speaker 2: And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew one of 928 01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:11,519 Speaker 2: his brethren. So he looked this way in that way, 929 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 2: and when he saw no one, he said I'm gonna 930 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:17,960 Speaker 2: take them out, killed him, buried them in the sand. 931 01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:21,799 Speaker 2: And when he went out the second day, two hebrew 932 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 2: men were fighting, and he said to the one who 933 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:27,439 Speaker 2: did wrong, why are you striking your companion that? He said, 934 01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 2: who made you a prince and a judge over us? 935 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,280 Speaker 2: Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? Uh? Oh, 936 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:39,719 Speaker 2: somebody knows. So Moses feared and said, okay, I'm busted. 937 01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,720 Speaker 2: So when Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to 938 01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,360 Speaker 2: kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh 939 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:49,120 Speaker 2: and dwelt in a particular land, a land called Midian, 940 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,599 Speaker 2: and he sat down by a well. Now, the priest 941 01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,760 Speaker 2: of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and they 942 01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 2: drew water and filled the truths to water their father's flock. 943 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:01,920 Speaker 2: And the shepherds came and they drove them away. These 944 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:06,839 Speaker 2: random shepherds came, drove them away. But Moses helped these daughters, 945 01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 2: who were shepherdesses by the way, they were female shepherds. 946 01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,599 Speaker 2: He stood up, helped them watered their flock. When they 947 01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 2: came back came back to Ruel, also known as Jethro, 948 01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:21,080 Speaker 2: their father, he said, how is it that you have 949 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,840 Speaker 2: come so soon today? And what did his daughter say? 950 01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 2: And Egyptian delivered us. Oh, you mean to tell me 951 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:32,879 Speaker 2: that Israelite young man named Moses looked like an Egyptian. 952 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:41,080 Speaker 2: Sit with that for a second. They thought this dark 953 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:47,960 Speaker 2: skinned man was an Egyptian, but he wasn't Israelite. Oh 954 01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:55,680 Speaker 2: look at that. So I don't know how mister, mister, mister, 955 01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:01,599 Speaker 2: mister Chau, I don't know. And you don't be looking 956 01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,840 Speaker 2: like an Egyptian. So he said to his daughters, and 957 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 2: where is he? Why is it that you have left 958 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,240 Speaker 2: the man? Call him that he may eat bread. Moses 959 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:11,920 Speaker 2: was content to live with the man, and he gave 960 01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 2: him Zupporah. But you probably know her better at Sephora. Alright, 961 01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:20,680 Speaker 2: anybody ever been to Sephora? No, that's Zappora. Go on 962 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:29,120 Speaker 2: right in there and c Well you shopping at Zappora? Okay? 963 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:33,479 Speaker 2: And so they and so they they married. Well, notice 964 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 2: that it says here in verse sixteen they were in Midian, 965 01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:39,639 Speaker 2: a priest of Midian. Well where did the Midianites come from? 966 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:43,639 Speaker 2: Where they came from? Abraham and Katura Genesis twenty five 967 01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:46,880 Speaker 2: had a son named Midian that means Midian was half 968 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:51,120 Speaker 2: Hebrew and half whatever. His mama was Katura, which many 969 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,559 Speaker 2: believe may have been a Canaanite. We just know she 970 01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:56,719 Speaker 2: came out of the household of Abraham, came from his house, 971 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 2: so Midian was all. Let me take it a step further. 972 01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:03,599 Speaker 2: History tells us that the media Knites were as black 973 01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:11,040 Speaker 2: as Ethiopians. Right, look at Habocak chapter three. No, No 974 01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,160 Speaker 2: numbers twelve, Look at numbers twelve. We're gonna look at 975 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 2: one verse. I nor them long winded, but numbers twelve. 976 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:24,320 Speaker 2: Look here. You all may remember the great Apostle Price 977 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:28,280 Speaker 2: teaching on this. I'm just gonna read one verse. Look 978 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,720 Speaker 2: at numbers twelve, verse one. What does it say, then, 979 01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:39,600 Speaker 2: Miriam and Aaron? What they do? What? What did the siblings? 980 01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:43,639 Speaker 2: What did the family do? They spoke against Moses because 981 01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:49,160 Speaker 2: of the Ethiopian woman he had married, for he had 982 01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:57,599 Speaker 2: married and Ethiopian woman. Maybe a little prejudice here, not 983 01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:01,920 Speaker 2: racism the way we know it today, but but cultural 984 01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 2: ethnic prejudice. Back In other words, Moses, she's a she's 985 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:09,160 Speaker 2: not a israel Life, she not Hebrew. Well, notice this 986 01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,439 Speaker 2: is his second wife. His first wife was a Median Knite, 987 01:14:11,720 --> 01:14:19,040 Speaker 2: black his second wife was an Ethiopian black. Yeah, matter 988 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 2: of fact. And again when I say black, I'm talking 989 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,880 Speaker 2: I'm not see I'm the rumor has it I'm black. 990 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:26,760 Speaker 2: But I'm not talking about this kind of black. Again, 991 01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,360 Speaker 2: I'm talking about this kind of black right here. I'm 992 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:32,040 Speaker 2: talking about this kind of black right here, not that 993 01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:35,639 Speaker 2: kind of black. Ethiopians was looking like this. Median knites 994 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:44,360 Speaker 2: were looking like this, and Moses clearly had an affinity. 995 01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:55,559 Speaker 2: He said, I want my women black as knight. I 996 01:14:55,640 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 2: want a lepida. If if you don't know what that means, Okay, 997 01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 2: this is what I all right, look watch this. Watch this, 998 01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:12,479 Speaker 2: y'all still here, stop playing around. Here we go, here 999 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:13,960 Speaker 2: we go. This is what I need you to see. Now, 1000 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:21,960 Speaker 2: put up image number image I think number ten. Yeah, 1001 01:15:21,960 --> 01:15:27,840 Speaker 2: put up image number ten. We just looked at this, yeah, 1002 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,080 Speaker 2: image number ten. There it is. This is what Ethiopian 1003 01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:37,840 Speaker 2: means in the Bible. Kushi kushai. Watch this Ethiopian it says, 1004 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,719 Speaker 2: see kashan, We're about to look at that in a second. 1005 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:46,400 Speaker 2: But it means what there their blackness. So Ethiopia means black. 1006 01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:50,880 Speaker 2: To be an Ethiopian means their blackness. Now look at 1007 01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:57,040 Speaker 2: this in Habacco Habacco chapter three. Y'all know where that. 1008 01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:04,800 Speaker 5: Is, right, Habakuk, y'all know the chapter I mean the 1009 01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:06,920 Speaker 5: book where you find out that you need to write 1010 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:08,120 Speaker 5: the vision down and make it plain. 1011 01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:12,720 Speaker 2: That book, just not chapter two. Go to chapter three. 1012 01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,799 Speaker 2: I want you to see one thing here, verse seven, 1013 01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,559 Speaker 2: Habit Cook three seven. Let me know when you're there. 1014 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:29,400 Speaker 2: You're there, Okay, So before we read this scripture, let 1015 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:33,880 Speaker 2: me get my other definition. Ready, Yeah, there we go. Okay. 1016 01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,280 Speaker 2: What does it say, Habit Cook three seven? Okay, this 1017 01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:40,680 Speaker 2: is prophetic language, but it says what I saw the 1018 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:45,200 Speaker 2: tints of Kushan. That's not like cush right, but it's 1019 01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,880 Speaker 2: not exactly cush It has to do with Watch this 1020 01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:54,519 Speaker 2: in Affliction, the curtains of the land of Midian trembled. 1021 01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 2: Kashan seems to be in relation to Midian. In the media, 1022 01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,800 Speaker 2: Nites were said again to be the dark skinned Arabian 1023 01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:07,080 Speaker 2: people of northwest Arabia. What does Kashan mean? Which is 1024 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:10,720 Speaker 2: affiliated with Wat's this not Ethiopia but Median? What does 1025 01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:15,879 Speaker 2: it mean? Put up image number seventeen. Image number seventeen 1026 01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:22,120 Speaker 2: gives Kashan, Oh, what does it mean? Their blackness means 1027 01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:27,920 Speaker 2: the same thing Ethiopian means. So you have people coming 1028 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,160 Speaker 2: from ham that are black as night, and you have 1029 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:35,599 Speaker 2: people coming from Shim that are also black as night. Now, 1030 01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:40,600 Speaker 2: now that's not how everyone turned out. Not every hammite 1031 01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 2: was as dark as an Ethiopian, not every semite was 1032 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:49,280 Speaker 2: as dark as was as dark as the Median knites. 1033 01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,600 Speaker 2: Matter of fact, even from Yafif, the father of the 1034 01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:59,559 Speaker 2: European nations, he produced some dark skinned boat. Now today 1035 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,960 Speaker 2: we see a broad mix of peoples, and that's because 1036 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:10,040 Speaker 2: of location. Those lived closer to the equator than some. 1037 01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:14,280 Speaker 2: Some were in the Caucasus mountains for quite some time, 1038 01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,880 Speaker 2: not receiving the amount of sun. People who live near 1039 01:18:17,880 --> 01:18:22,519 Speaker 2: the equator were receiving a lot of different factors. You 1040 01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:24,479 Speaker 2: also have to factor in that there was no longer 1041 01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,720 Speaker 2: a firmament. It's just a number of things you have 1042 01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,040 Speaker 2: to consider. Then you also have to consider the sin 1043 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 2: nature a number of things. Okay, Now look at romans 1044 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:44,599 Speaker 2: that semitic fifty five percent Semitic DNA of your pastor 1045 01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:51,160 Speaker 2: This shows a number of things. It shows that, as 1046 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:54,800 Speaker 2: it has been said, many of the slaves or descendants 1047 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:59,200 Speaker 2: of slaves were from the tribe of Judah. And it 1048 01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:04,200 Speaker 2: shows that the Negroes who we call Negroes, they didn't 1049 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:08,280 Speaker 2: come from Ham, they came from him. Mm See, black 1050 01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,679 Speaker 2: comes in in in, in, in a whole lot of shades. 1051 01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,600 Speaker 2: You all know that, right. See we live in a 1052 01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,840 Speaker 2: in a in a in a heated society. Let's see. 1053 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:23,639 Speaker 2: See see slavery for America was very particular. Wasn't like slavery. See, 1054 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:29,519 Speaker 2: you enslaved in ancient antiquity, You enslaved nations, that weren't you, right, 1055 01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:35,439 Speaker 2: So when the Romans enslaved nations, it's cause they weren't Roman, right, 1056 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,000 Speaker 2: And it didn't matter if they had the same skin 1057 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 2: color as them, right. Romans enslaved Greeks, they enslaved Egyptians, 1058 01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:48,160 Speaker 2: they enslaved Persians, they enslaved the Scandinavians, the Nordic white 1059 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:52,800 Speaker 2: skinned people, they enslaved them all cause you in But 1060 01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 2: but this what what we been living in for four 1061 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:59,519 Speaker 2: hundred some years. This has been real particular and it's 1062 01:19:59,800 --> 01:20:03,559 Speaker 2: oh ultimately been about black and white. But see those 1063 01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 2: are trick words, okay, because what does that really mean? 1064 01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:12,479 Speaker 2: I'm black? When you say I'm black? What does that 1065 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:15,040 Speaker 2: it sounds like we're talking about something else other than 1066 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,040 Speaker 2: skin color, because I'm looking at a whole lot of 1067 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:21,680 Speaker 2: people in here that are supposedly black, and some of 1068 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:30,080 Speaker 2: y'all whiter than white people. But you black, your skin 1069 01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 2: looks white to me. 1070 01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:39,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, if you really want to have y'all. 1071 01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,920 Speaker 2: Have you ever seen an Indian? I don't mean a 1072 01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:48,160 Speaker 2: Native American, I mean an Indian from India? Yes? Dark? 1073 01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:55,680 Speaker 2: Is this sweater I'm wearing black? You ever seen the 1074 01:20:56,320 --> 01:21:02,160 Speaker 2: Pacific Islanders, the Fiji? You ever seen a f You've 1075 01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:10,000 Speaker 2: seen that hair? Negro? They black, some. 1076 01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 6: Owens, black Tongueans, black Cambodians, black Vietnamese, black Filipinos, black 1077 01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:20,280 Speaker 6: and brown. 1078 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 2: Cambodians, Burmese. They're dark. Did you know that there is 1079 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,720 Speaker 2: a set of islands called the Negro Islands? 1080 01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 6: Guess where the Negro Islands are? Asiatic part of Asia, 1081 01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:40,040 Speaker 6: not Africa. 1082 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 2: Look it up. Look up the Negro Islands and look 1083 01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,000 Speaker 2: at the people of the Negro Islands and you'll see 1084 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:49,599 Speaker 2: features that are very similar to the far Eastern peoples 1085 01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,880 Speaker 2: of Asia. But they skin black as all or what 1086 01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 2: in the world today. So that black stuff and that 1087 01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:00,839 Speaker 2: white stuff, those are trick words. I've seen Spanish speaking people. 1088 01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:08,640 Speaker 2: The skin is whiter than whites from Texas. So what 1089 01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:12,120 Speaker 2: does it really mean? All right? Words that were created 1090 01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:18,080 Speaker 2: to keep this tension going because racism really was a race, 1091 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:28,240 Speaker 2: I mean a race. Okay, all right, we're going in here. 1092 01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 2: Sorry but not sorry, here we go Romans. Now. The 1093 01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 2: reason why I did all of that because again, you 1094 01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,599 Speaker 2: have to imagine, imagine someone like me. I think many 1095 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:45,479 Speaker 2: of you at least kind of know me. You kind 1096 01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:48,599 Speaker 2: of know me from my teaching style, So you know 1097 01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:53,280 Speaker 2: that I am interested in the history behind the scriptures 1098 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,880 Speaker 2: and the history in alignment with the scriptures. You all 1099 01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:05,800 Speaker 2: know I'm a heavy researcher. Can you imagine discovering that 1100 01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:13,679 Speaker 2: I too am Israel? Oh yeah, well yeah that's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1101 01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:18,599 Speaker 2: that's mind blowing. Okay, And if you think about it again, 1102 01:23:18,840 --> 01:23:21,040 Speaker 2: we don't have time today. I could walk you through 1103 01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:25,320 Speaker 2: the entire Bible and show you everywhere Israel intermingled with 1104 01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,640 Speaker 2: people mm and you could see how you'd get the 1105 01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:36,960 Speaker 2: different Jews we have today. Yeah, because God said, if 1106 01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:43,160 Speaker 2: you disobey me, i'm'a scatter you. Yeah, i'ma scatter you. Yeah. 1107 01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 2: And guess what they did And guess what happened. They 1108 01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,680 Speaker 2: were scattered, scattered abride And you and I both know 1109 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:54,960 Speaker 2: that when folk get scattered, the folk get taken into 1110 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,600 Speaker 2: slavery and they end up in another land. You know 1111 01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:02,920 Speaker 2: what happens, right, You get new versions of children, don't 1112 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:07,360 Speaker 2: you You get? Yeah? Okay, look here Roman's and I 1113 01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:13,720 Speaker 2: we're going in here. This is Paul speaking. Paul, who 1114 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:19,840 Speaker 2: was known as Saul Pharisee of Pharisees, persecuted the church, 1115 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 2: but then he got saved on his way to Damascus 1116 01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:27,960 Speaker 2: to persecute more Christians. See that's why you got You 1117 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:31,759 Speaker 2: still got the remains of churches in Syria today because 1118 01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:35,400 Speaker 2: of the Christian influence that was in Syria in ancient days, 1119 01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,720 Speaker 2: in the early days of the church. Paul was going 1120 01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 2: to Damascus because there were believers in Damascus, which is Syria. 1121 01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,200 Speaker 2: What was he going to do? He was going to 1122 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,200 Speaker 2: persecute him like he had been persecuting the church. But 1123 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:50,799 Speaker 2: he had an encounter with Yesua. He had an encounter 1124 01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:55,679 Speaker 2: with Messiah, and Paul got saved. The zealous on fire 1125 01:24:57,360 --> 01:25:03,479 Speaker 2: combative Paul saw Paul got saved, and Jesus said, ooh, 1126 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:07,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna use that for the kingdom, and he did it. 1127 01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:12,439 Speaker 2: But Paul never forgot where he came from. Now Paul 1128 01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:17,560 Speaker 2: knew that to be identified with the Messiah, Trump's everything 1129 01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:21,519 Speaker 2: right at nothing else is As a matter of fact, Paul, 1130 01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 2: he he said, I count all of these other things 1131 01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 2: as rubbish and loss for the gain that I have 1132 01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:32,800 Speaker 2: in Christ. In other words, Paul showed, Paul shows me 1133 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:37,880 Speaker 2: how I can be proud to be black and not 1134 01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:45,040 Speaker 2: forget that I'm black, right, but but knowing that what 1135 01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:51,000 Speaker 2: prevails over this blackness and this whiteness I got in me. 1136 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:59,880 Speaker 2: Y'all saw the percentages is Christ. Christ is first right. 1137 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 2: Christ is right. And now why he wrote, if you 1138 01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:12,719 Speaker 2: put on Christ, there's neither Jews. Now Jesus knows there's Jews, 1139 01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 2: and he knows there's gentiles. What was he saying. He 1140 01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,559 Speaker 2: was saying, that's irrelevant. When you become one with me, 1141 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:25,639 Speaker 2: that's first. So this is what Paul says here Romans nine, 1142 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,880 Speaker 2: verse one, I tell the truth in Christ. I ain't lying. 1143 01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:34,160 Speaker 2: I'm telling you. He wrote eight, but the Holy Spirit 1144 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 2: didn't let him put eight in the scripture. Say I 1145 01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:40,880 Speaker 2: ain't lying. My conscience also bearing me witness in the 1146 01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. He says that I have great sorrow and 1147 01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:48,479 Speaker 2: continual grief in my heart. Why Paul, for I could 1148 01:26:48,520 --> 01:26:52,920 Speaker 2: wish that I myself were a curse from Christ? For 1149 01:26:53,280 --> 01:27:00,240 Speaker 2: my brethren, my countrymen, according to the flesh. He didn't 1150 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:03,120 Speaker 2: say nothing about the spirit. He said the flesh. He said, 1151 01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,000 Speaker 2: my countrymen, according to the flesh. What's Paul saying here? 1152 01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,680 Speaker 2: He's saying, I wish I could become a cursed so 1153 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:14,360 Speaker 2: that my brethren, my countrymen who look like me, whose 1154 01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:18,719 Speaker 2: origin is from the same land as mine. My concern 1155 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,400 Speaker 2: for my countrymen according to the flesh, he says, who 1156 01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:25,879 Speaker 2: are who? Verse four? Israelites, to whom pertained the adoption, 1157 01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 2: the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the 1158 01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:31,280 Speaker 2: service of God, and the promises of whom are the fathers, 1159 01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:37,240 Speaker 2: and from whom, according to the flesh, Jesus came. Because 1160 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:40,479 Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, if you don't have an Abraham having 1161 01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,960 Speaker 2: in Isaac, and Isaac having a Jacob who became Israel, 1162 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:47,680 Speaker 2: and Israel having a child named Judah, we don't have 1163 01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,840 Speaker 2: no Jesus. Yeah, not in the natural. Yeah, he was 1164 01:27:51,840 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 2: the low gods and eternity pass. But you had to 1165 01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,640 Speaker 2: have an establishing of Israel, to have a Messiah, so 1166 01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:03,240 Speaker 2: that Israel and all Hens could be saved. Look at 1167 01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,439 Speaker 2: this who is overall the eternally blessed God. Amen. And 1168 01:28:06,439 --> 01:28:09,719 Speaker 2: then look at this one last one here in Romans eleven. 1169 01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,439 Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard not to read all of Romans eleven. 1170 01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:20,360 Speaker 2: We're just going to read verse number one and two, 1171 01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:26,479 Speaker 2: one and two, all of one in just half of 1172 01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:30,880 Speaker 2: verse tuo Romans eleven. All right, so this is after 1173 01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:34,720 Speaker 2: Paul he makes his case in Romans. Not he even 1174 01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:38,560 Speaker 2: says this. He says that Israel must be provoked to jealousy. 1175 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,639 Speaker 2: That's the job of us as believers in the Lord 1176 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,880 Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. And guess what if you're a Messianic Jew, 1177 01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:50,879 Speaker 2: that much more your responsibility to provoke your countrymen according 1178 01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:55,719 Speaker 2: to the flesh, to jealousy, meaning what not that God's 1179 01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:57,800 Speaker 2: forgotten you. We're going to prove that right now, not 1180 01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,280 Speaker 2: that God has forgotten Israel, because God's a keep of 1181 01:29:00,320 --> 01:29:07,920 Speaker 2: his word. He didn't cancel covenants. But because of the 1182 01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:13,920 Speaker 2: national rejection of the Messiah. Paul says, well, we gotta 1183 01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:16,519 Speaker 2: provoke them to jealous we gotta get them to see 1184 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:20,640 Speaker 2: that he is the way. So he preaches that in 1185 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,680 Speaker 2: Romans nine. Then he gets the Romans ten and he 1186 01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:28,400 Speaker 2: talks about salvation for Israel specifically, but not limited to Israel. 1187 01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 2: But you all know the famous verse nine. If you 1188 01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:34,000 Speaker 2: confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in 1189 01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:35,840 Speaker 2: your heart that God has raised him from the dead, 1190 01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:41,040 Speaker 2: you will be saved. It was for Israel first, but 1191 01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:45,960 Speaker 2: not Israel, only for the jew first, and then the gentile. 1192 01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:49,240 Speaker 2: Look here Romans eleven to one. He gets to chapter 1193 01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:51,679 Speaker 2: eleven and he says this, I say, then, has God 1194 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,479 Speaker 2: cast away as people? What's the answer to the question. 1195 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:58,840 Speaker 2: Certainly not. In other words, what's Paul saying? Has God 1196 01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:04,720 Speaker 2: cast away Israel? Nope, he has not, he says, for 1197 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:10,519 Speaker 2: I Paul am and Israel like of the seed of Abraham, 1198 01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:16,840 Speaker 2: of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away 1199 01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:21,439 Speaker 2: his people. He what whom he formed. God has not 1200 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:25,439 Speaker 2: forgotten Israel. Just because the Lord's Church is in the 1201 01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:30,519 Speaker 2: earth realm. He hasn't forgotten them, and and and the 1202 01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 2: fact that He hasn't forgotten them means we can't forget them. Remember, 1203 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,479 Speaker 2: I said, it's God first. So even the many of 1204 01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:43,920 Speaker 2: us who are who are who are a part of 1205 01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:48,320 Speaker 2: the diverse makeup of Israel. But we're in Christ and 1206 01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:53,840 Speaker 2: Christ is first. So because Christ is first, our countrymen. 1207 01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:56,640 Speaker 2: And we pray for all men because God desires all 1208 01:30:56,720 --> 01:31:02,000 Speaker 2: men to be saved. But this salvation came through a 1209 01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:08,000 Speaker 2: specific nation, a specific line, and God has not forgotten 1210 01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:12,080 Speaker 2: about them, and we cannot forget about them. It's our responsibility. 1211 01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:21,120 Speaker 2: I want everyone to stand up right now again. I've 1212 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:28,400 Speaker 2: gone long. I thank you for your patience. But this, 1213 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:39,040 Speaker 2: this is why we're here. It's it's never been any 1214 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,559 Speaker 2: coincidence that the Day of Prayer for the Peace of 1215 01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:46,120 Speaker 2: Jerusalem always falls around Yam Tarua and Yam Kapoor, the 1216 01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:48,760 Speaker 2: day of Blasting and the day of its hone Man. 1217 01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:53,559 Speaker 2: The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem Again 1218 01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:57,400 Speaker 2: is an annual celebration that occurs the first Sunday of October. 1219 01:31:57,479 --> 01:32:00,759 Speaker 2: It was co founded by Bishop Robert Stearns and doctor 1220 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:03,880 Speaker 2: Jack Hayford in two thousand and two. Here we are 1221 01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:08,120 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, twenty two years later, and as 1222 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,080 Speaker 2: soon as Crenshaw found out about it, we got involved 1223 01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 2: and we've been involved ever since. And we were taking 1224 01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:17,280 Speaker 2: trips to Israel even before we found out about this 1225 01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,800 Speaker 2: this day of prayer. What does the Bible say in 1226 01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:23,240 Speaker 2: Psalm one twenty two six, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. 1227 01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:26,639 Speaker 2: May they prosper who love you, Peace be within your walls, 1228 01:32:26,920 --> 01:32:31,559 Speaker 2: prosperity within your palaces. Shaloam.
