1
00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:05.879
Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is

2
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:09.759
the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central.

3
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.239
Good morning everyone. It is Wednesday, September the eighteenth, twenty

4
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:22.199
twenty four. It is currently eleven fifty nine am Central Time,

5
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.280
and I'm coming to you live from the Theology Central

6
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:30.199
studio located right here in Abilene, Texas. If I would

7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.560
have just waited one minute, I could have said good

8
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.759
afternoon and it would have been twelve noon on the

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.359
dot right. Wouldn't that have made more?

10
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:39.600
Since?

11
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.000
Does it even really matter? I just noticed that because

12
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.640
I got ready. I had the iPad laying here, and

13
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:47.200
I was just going to say good afternoon everyone. But

14
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.560
I stopped myself and said good morning. And then I

15
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.759
realized it's eleven fifty nine am. I like, how close

16
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:55.960
could I cut that?

17
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:56.119
So?

18
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.679
Do I good morning? Or do it just wait? Do

19
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:00.880
I wait a second here and then I say good afternoon?

20
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.840
Does it matter if it's good morning, good afternoon, good evening,

21
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.120
good night? Does it really matter? Okay? But here we are.

22
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.599
I hope you are doing okay today. Have you have

23
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.159
you been looking at the news, have you been keeping

24
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.400
up with the news? Have you have you have you

25
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:24.920
taken a look. Do you want to hear some headlines

26
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.560
from today? This is just from today. You want to

27
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:34.799
hear some headlines? Now, Hesbela handheld radios detonate across Lebanon. Now,

28
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:40.079
I don't know if you remember yesterday Hesbela fighters had

29
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.079
these pagers and they all exploded and what like four

30
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.239
thousand people were wounded and interest it sounds like something

31
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.200
from a movie, right, and Israel seems to be the

32
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.920
one that's being blamed for hacking these pagers causing them

33
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.920
to explode. Like and I don't know if you saw

34
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.920
the video of it, it's insane, like people in a

35
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.920
grocery store and all of a sudden, boom explodes the

36
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.680
pagers they have on them. It's crazy. Well not today,

37
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.000
it was handheld radios that detonated, all right, this is

38
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.800
the second wave of explosions, less injured because many stop

39
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.840
using devices. So there were fewer people injured today because

40
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.080
they're like, hey, I'm not going to use a handheld radio.

41
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.240
I'm not using I'm not using a pager, I'm not

42
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.080
using anything. Because well, there's obviously there's a threat here

43
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.719
is So all of this has led to a spotlight

44
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:36.080
on Israel's cyber warfare unit. There's a trail of involvement. Okay,

45
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.599
go it talks about a number of countries, twelve killed,

46
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.080
four thousand injured. Terror group vows are reckoning. So now

47
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:45.159
the terror group has alot of like there's going to

48
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.240
be a reckoning, there's going to basically be payback. All

49
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.120
of this is developing, All of these updates are happening.

50
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.159
It literally sounds like something from a movie, but this

51
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.639
is happening in real time. Just more chaos and uncertainty

52
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.360
happening in the world in which we I saw this

53
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:05.080
headline this morning. You ready for this? The United States

54
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:10.599
deployee soldiers rockets to Alaska as Moscow military activity ramps up.

55
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.439
Well that makes you get all worried. Okay, America Russia,

56
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.159
World War three? Okay, now again you can you can,

57
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.159
you can exaggerate any of this, but there are grave concerns.

58
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.759
We could go on Saudi Arabia will not recognize Israel

59
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.240
without Palestinian state. Uh, and then I could just I mean,

60
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.560
there's so many articles here of things happening and things

61
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:36.479
going on, and it is all crazy and it's all insane,

62
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.879
and it's all gives you a feeling of uncertainty. We've talked,

63
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.120
We talked about last night, the assassination attempts against the

64
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:48.719
former president Donald Trump. We've been talking about the crazy

65
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:52.960
things being said, bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, all the things,

66
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.280
just so much. I could just go through a list,

67
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.560
and it gives you this sense of where is it,

68
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.360
Where is everything headed? Right? Where are we? Where are

69
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.960
we going? What is the end of twenty twenty four

70
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.120
even going to look like? And can you imagine twenty

71
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:19.759
twenty five? It seems to be instability, uncertainty, chaos, confusion, despair, discouragement, disillusionment, depression.

72
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:24.399
It just seems like a time of great anxiety. And

73
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.439
it can definitely feel that way when you see that

74
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:32.759
the current state is seemingly so volatile, so confusing, so divisive,

75
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.639
and it does make you start wondering, well, where are

76
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.279
things headed? What's next? And it's very difficult to know

77
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.879
where things are headed or what's next. But as Christians,

78
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:53.759
we do believe the Bible outlines those things which are coming,

79
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.079
and we can be certain about those things the Bible

80
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.920
does say are coming. Now, there's sometimes disagreements within Christianity

81
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.240
all about what's going to happen.

82
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:02.519
Right.

83
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.560
We know that to be very true because of different

84
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.800
systems of eschatology. Right, some systems of eschatology, they will

85
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:13.199
go to the Old Testament and they will see passages

86
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:16.199
that will speak of certain things, and we'll be like, okay, no, no, no,

87
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.240
that's not Israel. That's not going to be actually going

88
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.000
back to the land. No, no, no, this is all referencing

89
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:26.519
the Church, and this is being fulfilled right now. Well,

90
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.639
the Bible may speak of a millennial kingdom, but we're

91
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.000
in the millennium now. It's not an actual thousand years.

92
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:38.000
It basically goes from you know, the time of Christ's death, burial, resurrection,

93
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:42.560
and ascension to the end. Others will say, no, most

94
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:45.079
all of the Bible prophecy has already passed. Like if

95
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.199
they're holding into a more prederist view of eschatology, so

96
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.040
you've got more of a nonmillennial view, then you've got

97
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.439
the more pre millennial dispensational view that believes no God

98
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.879
has a plan for Israel. Israel will be brought back

99
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.959
to the land, they will be restored as Christians. There's

100
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.040
lots of disagreements of about exactly what's going to happen,

101
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.879
which is really frustrating. But we all believe to some

102
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.560
level that the Bible gives us ideas about what's going

103
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:14.160
to happen. Now, we believe everyone believes that their view

104
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.600
of what the Bible says is right. But the main

105
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:17.879
thing is what I want to say, when you look

106
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:21.480
at the culture, it's very difficult to make predictions about

107
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.560
what's going to happen, what's going to happen in the election,

108
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.079
what's going to happen after the election, what's going to

109
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.639
become of this movement, and that what's going There's all

110
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.279
kinds of just confusion because we really don't know when

111
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.000
it comes to the Bible. At least we believe the

112
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.199
Scripture is the inerrant inspired word, and we do believe

113
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.120
the Bible gives us information about what's to come. The

114
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:43.240
difference is we don't all agree on what it says.

115
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:47.959
That's frustrating because that's just more confusion and more arguing.

116
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.240
But I do believe the Bible gives us some idea.

117
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.959
Now for me, my view, even though at one time

118
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.240
I was more amillennial, right, I have obviously moved away

119
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.639
from my amillennialism, moved away from that and I believe

120
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.519
that for the Bible to truly make any sense, there

121
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:11.240
has to be some understanding that when I'm reading Isaiah

122
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.920
and Ezekiel in many of these Old Testament minor and

123
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.360
major prophets, that there's prophecies there that I just think

124
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:24.519
I'm not being very I'm handling the text in a

125
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.360
very un an accurate way. If I say, well, Israel's

126
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.839
not Israel, Land isn't Land, that this is all going

127
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.839
to happen in the Church, this is the Church, the Church,

128
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.240
the Church, the Church. When there's just nothing in the

129
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.199
text that should lead me to see the Church. I

130
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:41.839
should see who it's about, who it was to, and

131
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.720
it's talking about Israel. So I believe for things to

132
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.439
really make sense biblically and to have any real understanding

133
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.199
of the future, we have to see that there are

134
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.879
Covenant promises made to Israel that have not been fulfilled,

135
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.600
and they have to be fulfilled literally, and I don't

136
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.639
believe the fulfilled in the Church. Spiritually. I think that

137
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:06.480
that's the only way that anything makes sense. Now, you

138
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.720
may have a completely different eschatology, and I understand that

139
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.040
because I've had again. I used to be amillennial and

140
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.199
now I reject that. So I understand struggling trying to

141
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.680
figure it out. Look, if it was simple, if it

142
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.079
was easy, I know everybody likes to make it sound

143
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.800
like it's simple. If it was simple, all Christians would

144
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:29.600
have the same eschatology. If it was easy, we would

145
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:33.360
have one belief about eschatology. Look, we don't even Christians

146
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.480
don't even agree on the word repentance. We don't agree

147
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:40.399
on the word baptism. So obviously eschatology is going to

148
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.200
have all of these different opinions. I wish it was simple,

149
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.639
because then in the midst of chaos, in the midst

150
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.200
of being tossed to and fro about what is happening

151
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.039
in the present and what's going to happen in the future,

152
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.480
we could say, but I can grab on to this.

153
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.159
I'm picking up my Bible and I know what is

154
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.519
to come. I know this is going to happen, and

155
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.519
I know this is going to happen, and I know

156
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:07.720
it's an absolute certainty. Well, what's frustrating is no, Christians

157
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:10.039
can't agree on what those things are going to be.

158
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:14.759
But at least one stream of theology says God is

159
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.720
not done with Israel. He's going to restore Israel to

160
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:23.679
the land and fulfill many of those promises and those

161
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:30.360
prophecies which we read about in the Old Testament. Now

162
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.879
we have been doing a survey of eschatology. We've been

163
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.840
looking at many of those different systems. We've kind of

164
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.000
gotten a little sidetracked from it. Hopefully, if everything works

165
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:45.440
out perfectly at church on Sunday, hopefully maybe the first hour,

166
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.440
maybe we can get back. Because we're currently looking at

167
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.279
the Davidic Covenant and all the promises associated with the

168
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:54.120
Davidic Covenant, and we're looking at it from the perspective

169
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.600
that God made these promises. These promises are to Israel

170
00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:01.919
and they will be fulfilled literally. So we've kind of

171
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.559
already been talking about that. So why am I talking

172
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:08.159
about it this morning? Well, yes, the news is crazy today,

173
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.519
so I want to grab on to something that I think, well,

174
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.720
I think this is more certain because this comes from

175
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.639
the Word of God. So I didn't know exactly what

176
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.360
to talk about. I'm like, do I talk a little

177
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.720
bit more about some of the things happening. We talked

178
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:23.399
about the assassination attempts and how Christian should respond. Do

179
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.159
I go that direction? So I said, well, I don't

180
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.480
know right now, let me grab and open up the

181
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.639
sermons two point oh app. I opened up the sermons

182
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.440
two point oh app and I started going through my feed.

183
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.759
I went to the feed tab and guess what I

184
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.919
saw when I scrolled down. It took a little while.

185
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.440
This was maybe a couple of days ago. Maybe yeah,

186
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:47.320
this was yesterday. So I when I say a couple

187
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:51.519
of days, I subscribe. I follow so many broadcasters. My

188
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.919
feed is always so just there's so many messages. So

189
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.000
I got to yesterday, Tuesday, September seventeenth, twenty twenty four,

190
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:07.440
and here was the title Restoration of Israel, Part one,

191
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.639
And I'm like, well that I can accomplish a couple

192
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.440
of things. First, I can give everyone the information about

193
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.519
this message so they go look it up for themselves.

194
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.399
So that's that's goal number one. So if you have

195
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.480
the sermon's two point oh app type in Restoration of

196
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:31.080
Israel part one, the name of the broadcaster is Now

197
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:37.360
the end begins, Biable Study Archives. What a title for

198
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:44.279
a broadcaster. Now the end begins, Bible Study Archives. Now

199
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:49.039
the end begins. You can look up that broadcaster. Now

200
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.840
the end begins. Once you find the broadcaster, look for

201
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:58.080
their message. Restoration of Israel Part one, So I want

202
00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.960
you to find it. I want you to go download it. Right,

203
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.600
it's only got twenty two downloads, twenty two streams. We

204
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.720
should I always say we should be able to get

205
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:08.759
that to one hundred. It doesn't. I'll look at the

206
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:11.919
numbers and realize most people don't actually participate when I

207
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.279
tell them to go download and stream because I'm literally

208
00:12:14.279 --> 00:12:16.559
looking at the numbers in real time, and I'm like, okay, well,

209
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.759
I guess nobody's going to go look it up. But

210
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.440
go look it up and download it and save it

211
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.320
all right, so it'll be ready for you in your

212
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.519
library and you can listen to it whenever you want. Right,

213
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.039
But now the end begins study archives Restoration of Israel

214
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.679
Part one. So that's the first goal. I just want

215
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.840
you to know about it. I want you to go

216
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.879
download it. Number two, well, obviously we'll do a little

217
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.879
bit of listening to it, and we'll do a little

218
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.320
bit of review and we'll see where it goes. Right,

219
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.960
So the review part sometimes I make that the number

220
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:47.159
one goal because we're going to review all of it.

221
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.879
This case, I just want to see where they go, maybe,

222
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:51.879
I'm probably going to listen to I don't know how

223
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:53.919
many parts they're going to do, but I'm going to

224
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.200
definitely want to listen in hear their perspective. Now, let

225
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.720
me state this clearly. Now the end begins, liable study.

226
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.240
You've heard me play a little bit of their programming,

227
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.639
and I was very critical because I disagreed with everything

228
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:10.320
they said, because I thought in many cases it was

229
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:15.639
just crazy, over the top, conspiratorial insanity. All right, But

230
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.039
guess what, I still follow them because even though I

231
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.279
may criticize, and even though I may disagree, I usually

232
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.600
continue to listen so I can continue to be challenged,

233
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:29.799
maybe frustrated and irritated by different perspectives, so that I

234
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:34.840
can continue to have my perspectives challenged. So they're talking

235
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.360
about the restoration of Israel. Well, I agree with everything

236
00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:41.480
they say. Probably not. Am I asking you to agree

237
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:44.879
with everything they say? Absolutely not. I am definitely not.

238
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.639
I'm definitely not telling you to agree with everything. Okay,

239
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.440
I'm telling you to listen, to think, to look up,

240
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.720
to check. But I want us to take a little

241
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.080
journey here and see how far we can get. All right,

242
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.320
the restoration of Israel, the world right now, it's just crazy.

243
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:06.720
I mean, it's so so much as happening. I could

244
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:10.320
probably just sit here all day going because I subscribe

245
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.519
to so many news podcasts and just spend all day

246
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:17.000
just listening to one one news podcast after another, another

247
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.519
after another after another. I listened to many that are

248
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.360
updated every hour on the hour, and I could just

249
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.639
and by the time if I just started writing things

250
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.919
in a notebook after a couple of hours, I may

251
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.440
just throw the pencil down and say, the world is

252
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.399
coming to an end. So you don't want to you

253
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:34.279
don't want to slide into that. So sometimes like what

254
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:36.960
can we grab on too? Well, last night we talked

255
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:41.000
a little bit about remembering, you know, the sovereignty of God,

256
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:46.480
grabbing on to peace and not buying into fear or panic, right,

257
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.000
so you don't We don't want our looking at the

258
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:54.519
world to turn into fear, anxiety, worry, depression, discouragement, disillusionment, anger,

259
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.720
wherever it could lead. What we wanted to do is like, man,

260
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.600
the world is a mess. The world is on fire.

261
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.240
Like even if we wanted to use that kind of language,

262
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:06.120
the world is just absolutely seeming to be tossed to

263
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.279
and fro. I need to find some solid ground while

264
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.360
open up my Bible and go, Okay, what does the

265
00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.600
Bible say about what's going to happen next. Let's just now,

266
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.279
we don't want to make we don't want to force

267
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.120
the Bible to be saying something it doesn't actually say,

268
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:23.480
but we want to find those things that seem to

269
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:26.919
be relatively certain and then we can grab onto that.

270
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.480
Now again, I know your system of eschatology. If you're

271
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.519
a preteriss, you believe most Bible prophecies has already been fulfilled,

272
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:37.000
it's all past. If you're an a millennialist, you believe

273
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.759
a lot of the future the prophecies are being fulfilled

274
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:45.240
inside the church. And if you are maybe more dispensational

275
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:50.799
in your approach premillennial dispensational type. I'm not using every

276
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:55.399
little identifier. I'm just trying to summarize these. Then you're

277
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.399
going to look for some type of very future events

278
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:00.559
that you feel have not been fulfilled, and they will

279
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.720
be fulfilled literally, And a large number of those promises

280
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:06.960
deal with the nation of Israel specifically, and the nation

281
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:14.639
of Israel is constantly in the news. All right, So

282
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.879
let's learn about the Restoration of Israel Part one. This

283
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:23.519
is how long. It's one hour and sixteen minutes and

284
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:27.480
fifty eight seconds. If I was to review all of this,

285
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.759
it would probably take us, and I am not even exaggerating,

286
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:35.799
probably close to ten hours. So obviously I'm not going

287
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.799
to review all of it. I'm going to start the

288
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.559
review and then stop it. I may then listen to

289
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.320
more on my own. And of course, if you listen

290
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.240
to something you're like that, Hey, at the forty nine

291
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.240
minute mark, he says this, please review that. What do

292
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.679
you think about that? That's always helpful because then I

293
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:56.720
can just go to that part. But I want you

294
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.559
to go listen to all of it, all right. I

295
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.320
don't know if you if you're using the sermon's two

296
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:05.200
point oh app follow now the end begins Bible Study Archives,

297
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.680
so you'll have part two in your feed the minute

298
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.960
it drops. Now. If you listen to their other content,

299
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.720
some of it is very conspiratorial, I think just I

300
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:20.359
think just crazy misinformation, disinformation. I would have some issues

301
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:24.319
with it, but I like you to hear all different

302
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:28.039
perspectives as well. So are you ready? Here we go.

303
00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.799
I have my Bible in hand. I don't have any

304
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.160
of my notes from what we've been doing on eschatology,

305
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.200
because we're currently looking at the Davidic Covenant. But so

306
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:38.920
I'm not going to bring that. I'm not going to

307
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:44.079
connect that to this. But I'm ready to go. Are

308
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.039
you ready? Right? Yeah, Okay, finally someone I was waiting

309
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.680
for someone to say they were ready. Are here we go.

310
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.799
Welcome to the NTEV Radio Bible Study with your host

311
00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:01.960
and Bible teacher, Jeffrey Gider. Rightly, I did dispensationally correct

312
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:05.400
and standing on the authority of the King James Holy Bible.

313
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:16.200
This program is brought to you by nowthendbegins dot com.

314
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.720
All right, and their introduction they kind of give us

315
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:21.359
everything we need to know. They're KJV only and they're dispensational,

316
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.480
So clearly why they're doing a program on the restoration

317
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.359
of Israel makes sense because they're dispensational and dispensationalists believe

318
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:32.599
and a future restoration of the nation of Israel where

319
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:35.400
those promises in the Old Testament will be literally fulfilled

320
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.039
not in the Church but to the nation of Israel.

321
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.039
That's a very important distinction. So right there tells me

322
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.359
everything I know exactly which way they're going, they're dispensational,

323
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.480
they're KJV only. Obviously, I'm very familiar with that world, right,

324
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.960
Most many of the Bible colleges and seminaries I graduated

325
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.279
from were dispensational and KJV only, So obviously I know

326
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:01.279
that world very well, even though I I became an

327
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.839
all millennialist, even though I went to those kinds of schools.

328
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:07.240
So that's kind of funny how I was going to

329
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.640
schools that weren't all millennial and I became a millennial,

330
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.319
and then after leaving those schools, then I kind of

331
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.960
became back. I went back to dispensational. Yeah, because while

332
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:17.960
I'm always look, I'm willing to change my view right

333
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.400
now on everything because none of us really whatever truth

334
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.680
we think we hold today, there's a high probability that

335
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:29.920
we're wrong because we are fallible human beings. And clearly,

336
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:34.799
after two thousand years, Christians still don't understand scripture. Right.

337
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:37.440
We can say we don't agree on anything in Scripture,

338
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:39.599
and if we don't agree on anything, that's a high

339
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.599
probability we don't really understand as much as we think.

340
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:44.119
But let's see where they're going to go.

341
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:51.440
Here we go, and good evening. Everybody, Happy Tuesday, and

342
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.960
welcome to the program. My name is Jeff Grider. I

343
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.640
am the editor in chief of Now The Endbegins dot Com,

344
00:19:58.680 --> 00:20:01.279
and tonight for the next two hours, I have the

345
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:04.680
honor and the privilege of being your radio host and

346
00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:09.000
Bible teacher. Tonight we start a brand new series, The

347
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:14.400
Coming Restoration of Israel, Part one, The Throne of David.

348
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.240
In our day, Israel is a constantly malign nation. The

349
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.880
Jews are in a perpetual persecution, and Zionism is a

350
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:28.200
proverb and a byword exactly as your King James. Bible

351
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.880
says that it will be in the last days. But

352
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:35.319
as Paul Harvey used to say, now for the rest

353
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:39.079
of the story, and what a story it is, Welcome

354
00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:42.640
to our brand new, rightly dividing Bible series on the

355
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:45.279
Coming Restoration of Israel.

356
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:51.319
Now, this is a question. I do it. All pastors

357
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:56.119
do it when we make references like pop culture references

358
00:20:56.119 --> 00:21:00.160
like he made a Paul Harvey reference. Right now, there

359
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.279
are those listening, probably never heard Paul Harvey, probably have

360
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.279
no idea who Paul Hervey was. What he did was

361
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:09.000
that a radio program, TV show?

362
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:09.480
What was it?

363
00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:12.000
You may not even have a clue. So it's always

364
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:17.680
interesting as communicators, podcasters, pastors. On one hand, it's easy

365
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:21.200
to make references to things that were a part of

366
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:24.559
your life. Right, you can make references to things that

367
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:27.400
was a part of your life, but there your audience

368
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.079
may get get it or not get it. So should

369
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:36.720
should should pastors only use references that are more modern,

370
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:41.839
more up to date because you know the audience. Everyone

371
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.880
in the audience should be able to get it right,

372
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:49.079
because it's relevant, it's it's it's it's current. Or do

373
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:51.160
you feel it's okay to make an old reference if

374
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.480
you explain what the old reference is, if you explain

375
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.920
something about or does it matter? I don't know. I'll

376
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:00.920
make a reference and I'll be like, well this dates me,

377
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:03.640
this dates me, and so sometimes I'll be like, well

378
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:08.319
that's ah, maybe I should use a more current reference. Right,

379
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.640
So I don't know, Paul Harvey, that's a pretty dated reference.

380
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:15.759
It's a very dated reference, right, If you don't know.

381
00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:20.119
Paul Hervey was a like a radio program. I remember

382
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.559
when I was very little, very little, we would take

383
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:26.400
my father lunch, right, we would meet him before his

384
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:28.799
lunch hour and would bring him something to eat, and

385
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:30.920
he'd sit in the car and they would listen to

386
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:34.559
Paul Harvey, right, and he would talk about current events

387
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:36.240
or something, and he would kind of say, this is

388
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:39.839
going on now for the rest of the story. And

389
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:43.039
so I don't remember everything about the Paul Harvey program.

390
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:44.880
I just remember listening to a little bit. So even

391
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:49.039
for me, other than that, I don't know, like I

392
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.000
would hear Paul Harvey mentioned. But it's not like I

393
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:54.440
was a bit I wasn't like a Paul Hervey listener

394
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:58.599
or anything, because other than that, I think after that,

395
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:02.119
I never tuned in or or heard maybe I I yeah,

396
00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:04.359
I don't think I ever listened to him on my own.

397
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:07.359
So it was maybe even a little I mean I

398
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:09.440
was alive, but it was almost a little bit before

399
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:11.759
my time, if that makes any sense. As I got older,

400
00:23:11.839 --> 00:23:15.319
and yeah, I've moved on, so but I know who

401
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.359
he is. So it's always like, I don't know, how

402
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.960
do you what references do you use when you know

403
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.000
that's things a communicator has to make decisions on it,

404
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:27.920
and a lot of times it's just impromptu. You just

405
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:30.880
a lot of times my references are not because I

406
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.440
thought them through it's just why comes to my mind

407
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.079
in the middle of communicating you watch before this is over,

408
00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.880
I'll probably make some reference that once again would be like,

409
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:43.200
why is he making that reference that's Outdated's there's a possibility.

410
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:48.759
Luke Chapter one, verses thirty two and thirty three. He

411
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:51.160
shall be great and shall be called the Son of

412
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:54.160
the Highest, and the Lord God shall give unto him

413
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:57.799
the throne of his father David, and he shall reign

414
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:01.319
over the House of Jacob forever and of his kingdom.

415
00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:05.200
There shall be no end. Your Bible has a lot

416
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.359
to say about the day when the Jews will be

417
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.119
back on top, when Messiah Jesus will rule and reign

418
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.200
on the throne of David from the literal, visible, and

419
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.640
physical kingdom of Heaven that is Israel in general and

420
00:24:19.759 --> 00:24:23.680
Jerusalem in particular. In Part one of our new series,

421
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:27.200
we explore the Old and New Testament verses that show

422
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:31.160
you the rule of King Jesus over the kingdom that

423
00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.599
was prepared for him from before the foundation of the world.

424
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:39.079
It will be the most amazing nation that has ever existed,

425
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:44.079
and the Jews will once again take center stage as

426
00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:47.559
the keepers of the oracles of God. Tonight we watch

427
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:51.160
as Jesus takes the throne of David, and as he does,

428
00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:56.160
dozens and dozens of long awaited prophetic Bible verses fire

429
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.759
off all at once. Heavenly Father, we thank you God

430
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.559
for waking us up today. We thank you Lord for

431
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.000
the food on the table, the clothes on our back,

432
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:09.640
and the roof over our head. We thank you for

433
00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:13.480
an amazing camp meeting weekend. And Lord, we commit this

434
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.839
time to you, and we ask you to lead us

435
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.960
and guide us into all truth through the power of

436
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.920
your Holy Spirit, and will give you all the honor

437
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.240
and the glory for it, Lord, for you are worthy.

438
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.400
And we pray all these things in Jesus' name.

439
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.240
Everyone knew, if you've listened to me, that I was

440
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:36.039
going to come in right there. You know, you know

441
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:39.680
what I disagree with, right, You know what I one

442
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:42.799
hundred percent disagree with. Jesus. The Holy Spirit is not

443
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:45.720
leading and guiding us into all truth. He is not

444
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:50.079
doing that. Ladies and gentlemen, Any rational person should be

445
00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:53.079
able to understand that if he's leading and guiding us

446
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.640
into all truth, then we should all agree on this.

447
00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:59.240
We should have the same doctrine, same theology there should

448
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.799
be complete unity and complete agreement within Christianity. He can't

449
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.480
be leading and guiding the Baptist into one view of

450
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:08.480
baptism while he's leading and guiding the Presbyterians into a

451
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.079
different view of baptism. And he's leading the Lutherans into

452
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:14.359
a different view of Baptism, and he's leading the Charismatics

453
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:16.920
to a certain view, and he's leading non charism No,

454
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:20.200
it's not the way it works. He's not leading. If

455
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:24.160
he's leading and guiding, there would be unity. There's no unity.

456
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.519
So how does it work? We as individuals have been

457
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:30.960
given God's revelation in a written form, and now we

458
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.319
have to figure it out the way you figure out

459
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:37.480
anything that's in a written form. We have to utilize

460
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:43.440
interpretive principles and interpretive concepts. Right, We got to know context, syntext,

461
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.440
We got to know definition of words, Greek, Hebrew. We

462
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.640
got to know all of these basic principles, and then

463
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:50.960
it's our job to try to be consistent in those

464
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:55.519
principles and arrive at a conclusion. If the Spirit is

465
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:58.759
guiding and leading, do you you don't even understand the

466
00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:02.440
ramifications of that? If I tell you I was studying

467
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:06.359
my Bible and the Holy Spirit led and guided me

468
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:12.119
to this interpretation. Then by definition, my interpretation would be

469
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:16.160
infallible because it came from God. So you could not

470
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:19.279
question me or challenge me. So if you send me

471
00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:21.160
one of your emails, I would be like, well, my

472
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:25.359
interpretation came from God. You can't question me. Well, then

473
00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:28.720
you could argue, well, God led me to my interpretation,

474
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:31.480
you can't question me. Well, someone is not being led

475
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:43.440
by God. So I disagree with that outrightly, full blown. No,

476
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:48.759
I have no give in that area. I used to

477
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:54.680
teach that Holy Spirit leads us and guides us. You

478
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:58.079
look around and go, so you realize where the inevitable

479
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:00.200
conclusion will be. Well, I guess he only leads and

480
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:04.559
guides me, see, because whatever I think comes from God.

481
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:07.400
Therefore I'm right. And those people who don't come to

482
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:09.920
the same conclusion as I do is not being led

483
00:28:10.200 --> 00:28:12.559
and guided by God or the Holy Spirit. Therefore they're

484
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:17.000
not saved. You see how inevitably crazy. That's where cults

485
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:23.119
get formed. He's given us his word and written form.

486
00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:28.079
He led and guided the authors of the New Testament

487
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:31.680
into all truth. He brought to their memory those things

488
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:36.720
that he had said, those are promises for the original Apostles,

489
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:43.680
disciples and the authors of the New Testament, not for us.

490
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.799
Welcome to the program, everybody, glad that you were here.

491
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:54.240
I got so much really good feedback from our four

492
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:58.839
part series entitled From the pre Tribulation Rapture of the

493
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:02.480
Church to the End to the World, so I thought

494
00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:05.319
it would be a good idea to do another multi

495
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:10.559
part series, this time on the restoration of the Nation

496
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:11.319
of Israel.

497
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:17.160
Let me tell all listeners the power of a listener.

498
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:22.680
When you give positive feedback, when you speak up the positive,

499
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:27.359
you almost inevitably will change the direction of a program, right, Like, hey,

500
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:30.440
we got so much positive feedback, then almost like we're

501
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:33.319
going to continue. We're going to do something similar because

502
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:36.039
once you get that positive feedback, you're like, this is

503
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:39.240
the I'm going to continue to follow this path because well,

504
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:43.839
you want people listening, you want that positive feedback. Right. So, yeah,

505
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:48.279
listeners don't understand the role they play. Little encouragement, a

506
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:53.039
little bit of just feedback of any kind. You're like, Okay, good,

507
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:56.319
someone's out there listening. I know it. It's like you're like,

508
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:58.039
but I'm busy. I got a life to live. I

509
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.960
know that. I'm just saying you don't understand the impact

510
00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:03.200
you can give with a little bit of positive feedback

511
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.000
and just a little bit of feedback of any kind,

512
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:08.039
any kind of just anything.

513
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:14.359
The Bible has a lot to say about that. Israel

514
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.000
is in the news every single day, and we're going

515
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:21.000
to talk about the news that Israel is making today.

516
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:29.039
And war is regional war, A big war is very

517
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:31.480
very close to breaking out in the Middle East and

518
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:35.720
Israel and Lebanon and Iran and Iraq and all those

519
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:40.240
other places. And as we watch all these things bumping

520
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:44.920
and colliding with each other, your King James, Bible is

521
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:50.640
crystal clear the day is coming when Israel is going

522
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:55.440
to be restored, the Jews will once again be in

523
00:30:55.480 --> 00:31:02.599
a right relationship with God, and the entire world is

524
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:07.000
going to come to Jerusalem and Israel. It's going to

525
00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:12.160
be the capital of the universe. The Bible says this

526
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:19.400
in Romans chapter eleven, verse twenty five. Romans Chapter eleven,

527
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.960
verse twenty five, Paul says, for I would not brethren,

528
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.759
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye

529
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.400
should be wives in your own conceits that blindness. In

530
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:34.400
part is happened to Israel until the fullness of the

531
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:39.079
gentiles be come in, and so all Israel shall be saved.

532
00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:42.759
As it is written, there shall come out of Zion

533
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:47.680
the Deliverer, and shall turn away on godliness from Jacob.

534
00:31:48.559 --> 00:31:52.920
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall

535
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:55.839
take away their sins.

536
00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:59.240
Okay, A couple of things. First of all, when he

537
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.200
says the Bible is crystal clear, let me make it

538
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:05.519
very clear. If it was crystal clear, then there wouldn't

539
00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:07.960
be all of the disagreements and all the fighting and

540
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:11.119
all the arguing. So it's not crystal clear. I just

541
00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:15.440
I know. That's a major doctrinal emphasis within the Protestant world.

542
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:20.160
Baptist even Baptists who say, well, we're not Protestants. Okay,

543
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:22.960
you can argue about the title given to you. All

544
00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:27.680
non Catholics love to say the Bible is crystal clear.

545
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:32.240
It is easily understood, at least in these areas. There

546
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:34.039
may be things in it that are difficult, but for

547
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.759
the most part, the Bible is easily understood. That is

548
00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:41.319
a constant non Catholic view, and the reason why that

549
00:32:41.480 --> 00:32:45.680
is so much built into the DNA of not the

550
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:49.279
non Catholic Christianity is because we argue, we don't need

551
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.400
a magisterial authority. We don't need the Church to give

552
00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:57.640
us the interpretation. Anyone can read and interpret most of

553
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:00.319
the Bible. Oh, there's some parts that are difficult, but

554
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:03.519
for the most part we can understand it. Because we

555
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:07.319
reject the need for a magisterial authority, we say we

556
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:10.720
can understand the Bible. But two thousand years of you know,

557
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:13.279
or if you even go from the Protestant Reformation on

558
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:18.039
from fifteen seventeen on, Well, if it was so crystal clear,

559
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:20.599
this group decided to disagree with this group, and this

560
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:22.599
group disagreed with this group, and we split, and we split,

561
00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.200
and we split, and this denomination and this denomination and

562
00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:28.559
this interpretation and this system of theology, and it grew

563
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:30.920
and it grew, and now there is just no agreement

564
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:35.200
on anything. So it's not crystal clear. I just completely

565
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.519
reject that concept. If it was clear, and it was clarity,

566
00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:43.720
there would be unity and agreement, all right. So but

567
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:46.400
I do love the passage he read, and I the

568
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:48.680
verse that jumped out at me this time. I know

569
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:50.799
a lot of people, and we'll look at Romans eleven

570
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.359
look at verse twenty six, and so all Israel shall

571
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:56.160
be saved. Here's what I love about it, verse twenty seven.

572
00:33:57.400 --> 00:34:02.799
For this is my covenant onto them, This is my

573
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:09.519
covenant unto them. Them is Israel, who when I shall

574
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:16.079
take away their sins, the them, and there the them,

575
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:18.960
And there by some would be, oh, that's the Church.

576
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.360
And I will say that them and there is Israel,

577
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:29.840
not the Church. That's very important. Let's see where else

578
00:34:29.880 --> 00:34:30.440
he goes with this.

579
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:39.360
One of the reasons why we sell every single book

580
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:45.440
that Clarence Larkin ever wrote is because when you go

581
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:49.599
back to the beginning of the twentieth century, there were

582
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:53.559
a lot of people writing Bible commentaries. There were a

583
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:56.719
lot of people that had an opinion on a lot

584
00:34:56.760 --> 00:35:01.639
of things. But when I investigate, you know what I found.

585
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:08.599
I found that Clarence Larkin virtually stood alone, stood by

586
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:14.039
himself in his belief that the Jews were going to

587
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:18.119
be restored to the nation of Israel, and that Israel

588
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:22.480
would once again become a nation. Very very few other

589
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:28.000
Bible commentators in that time period believed in the restoration

590
00:35:28.280 --> 00:35:32.800
of Israel. In on tonight's Bible study, we're going to

591
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:38.079
talk about how May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight was not

592
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:43.880
the regathering of the nation of Israel. It was a

593
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:50.320
regathering in order for them to fulfill the prophecies related

594
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:54.840
to their final dispersion. And I know that's a little

595
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:59.639
hard to wrap your your head around because basically, when

596
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:03.719
you went to stand what I'm saying, Israel was regathered

597
00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:08.239
in nineteen forty eight to be scattered in the time

598
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:14.920
of Jacob's trouble, regathered to be scattered, And that's really

599
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.480
what the Bible teaches. There's no other way around it.

600
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.840
That's an interesting concept. And when they came back in

601
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.840
nineteen forty eight, they only were regathered so they could

602
00:36:25.880 --> 00:36:29.400
be scattered again. That's an interesting concept. We'll have to

603
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:30.719
do some more work on it. If you don't know

604
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:35.360
anything about Clarence Larkin he lived from eighteen fifty to

605
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:40.320
nineteen twenty four, eighteen fifty to nineteen twenty four, why

606
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:45.599
is this so important Because his views about Israel was

607
00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:49.559
happening when where Israel is a nation didn't exist that'll

608
00:36:49.599 --> 00:36:52.840
become a nation again until nineteen forty eight, so and again.

609
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.440
And I whenever you look at church history, a lot

610
00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:57.320
of what the Church fathers would say, and a lot

611
00:36:57.360 --> 00:36:59.360
of people would say about Israel at the time. And

612
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:02.480
why many would look towards the Church as the fulfillment

613
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:05.480
is because Israel was gone seventy a D. Israel's wiped

614
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.239
off the face of the earth. So if you're looking

615
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:10.320
at passages of scripture that seems to be talking about Israel, well,

616
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:13.079
what are we gonna do? There's no Israel. It's gone,

617
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:16.760
there's no what are we gonna oh the church. It

618
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.039
made perfect sense to look for the Church as, in

619
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:23.840
a sense a replacement because Israel wasn't around. So for

620
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:27.159
the fact that Clarence Larkin and others, especially those early

621
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:32.119
dispensation lists, they didn't start changing their view after nineteen

622
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.159
forty eight, many of them were putting forth the concept

623
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:38.960
before nineteen forty eight. I think that that's very much,

624
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:41.639
very much needs to be understood, and they in many

625
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:46.480
cases virtually stood alone because the more allmillennial type view

626
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:50.000
would have been much more prominent throughout a good portion

627
00:37:50.039 --> 00:37:51.960
of church history. There's no way to get around that.

628
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.119
All the all millennial view, you can understand seventy a D.

629
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:57.960
Israel's gone, So what do we do when we see

630
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:02.320
Israel Israel, Israel, Israel is Well, we got to it's

631
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.800
the church, because the church is visible. We can see

632
00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:07.280
the church. Okay, there we go. And so we'll say

633
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.159
that this land doesn't mean land. This doesn't mean this,

634
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:12.639
This doesn't mean this, This doesn't mean when it says

635
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:14.760
I'm going to make a covenant, I'm making a new

636
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:18.480
covenant with the House of Israel in the House of Judah. No, no,

637
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.760
we will say that that's spiritual Israel, and so you

638
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:26.559
can understand all of the reasoning for it. But Clarence

639
00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:30.719
Larkin Well took a different approach. He was a prominent

640
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:35.800
American Baptist pastor and writer known for his works on

641
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:40.360
biblical prophecy and are You Ready for It dispensationalism. His

642
00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:45.239
most famous work is Dispensational Truth, also known as God's

643
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:49.519
Plan and Purpose in the Ages. It was published in

644
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:55.159
nineteen eighteen. This book became influential within Christian eschatology and

645
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:59.159
is widely regarded for its detailed charts and visual aids

646
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:03.440
that illustrate biblical prophecy and the dispensational timeline. Again the

647
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:07.239
name of the book, it's his most famous Dispensational Truth.

648
00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:15.239
It's also known as God's Plan and Purpose in the Ages. Now, yes,

649
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:19.119
all the dispensational charts. A millennialists love to make fun

650
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:21.840
of those charts. They love to mock them. I've even

651
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:23.920
made fun and mocked them. Because you have to have

652
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:27.159
a chart for everything. I understand that. But if you'll

653
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:30.519
just look past the charts and any of the mockery

654
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:33.880
that may be thrown at it, you know, maybe, even

655
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:36.519
if you're not dispensationalist, you should at least read the

656
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:40.800
book and appreciate that he's saying these things in nineteen eighteen.

657
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.639
That's pretty awesome to me. Again, the name of the book.

658
00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:49.800
I haven't looked it up currently to see where it's available.

659
00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:54.079
I'm assuming it's available at Amazon and probably available on

660
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:57.920
the kindle for relatively cheap. But it's the name of

661
00:39:57.960 --> 00:40:01.519
the book, Dispensational Truth, also known as God's Plan and

662
00:40:01.559 --> 00:40:10.199
Purpose in the Ages. All right. He authors several other books,

663
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:12.400
including The Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation.

664
00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:16.039
I guess Commentaries, which further explores prophecy and end time themes.

665
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:20.639
And then well, there we go. So that's Larkin, and

666
00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:23.000
so they sell every one of his books. So obviously

667
00:40:23.000 --> 00:40:24.880
you could look at their website and find it through them.

668
00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:26.880
You can probably find it through Amazon as well, and

669
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:29.360
then you can get kind of a again just from

670
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:35.360
a his Again, even if you despise dispensationalism, you should

671
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:37.599
want to read the book just because it was so

672
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:43.880
influential and an entire stream or eschatological system that has

673
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:46.760
been very prominent at well throughout a good portion of

674
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:51.960
modern day church history, well from around nineteen from the

675
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:56.599
about the early mid mid night, well early nineteen hundreds,

676
00:40:56.800 --> 00:40:59.400
all the way to twenty twenty four. It's still a

677
00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.360
very prominent system of eschatology.

678
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:09.480
All those prophecies in Matthew and Mark and Luke about

679
00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:12.760
the time of Jacob's trouble and the Great Tribulation and

680
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:19.119
the Jews being scattered, all those prophecies are yet future.

681
00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:26.239
So May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight could not possibly have

682
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:32.000
been the final regathering. There's only two times anywhere in

683
00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:37.400
the Bible that God talks about Israel being regathered. The

684
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.559
first time they were regathered after the seventy year Babylonian captivity.

685
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:47.480
The second time that they're going to be regathered is

686
00:41:47.519 --> 00:41:50.719
going to be at the end of the time of

687
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:55.719
Jacob's trouble at the Second Advent, and when that happens,

688
00:41:56.320 --> 00:42:01.480
King Jesus from Revelation nineteen is going to mount up

689
00:42:01.519 --> 00:42:05.480
on a white horse, and all of us who were saved,

690
00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:08.639
You're going to mount up on white horses behind him,

691
00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:14.159
and we're going to return, and the King is going

692
00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:18.880
to bring in the Kingdom, and it is going to

693
00:42:18.920 --> 00:42:24.519
be the most momentous time in human history.

694
00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:29.239
Now, I completely agree. Nineteen forty eight was not a

695
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:33.480
fulfillment of any of the prophecy about being regathering. It

696
00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:37.119
was a foreshadowing of Maybe it was like a this

697
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:39.679
is a hint of what is to come, right, but

698
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:43.599
it was nowhere. I mean, you read Ezekiel and again,

699
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:47.079
the regathering is connected to the New Covenant. That's why

700
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:49.400
whenever people talk about the New Covenant, New Covenant was

701
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:52.320
made with Israel. That's who it was made with. We're

702
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:55.960
grafted in to the spiritual promises of it. But those

703
00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:58.239
promises to Israel, a part of the New Covenant, have

704
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:01.159
never been fulfilled. And I'm not going to spiritualize them

705
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:03.840
and still them from the people they were originally given to.

706
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.480
So I agree with him. Nineteen forty eight was not

707
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:12.320
a fulfillment of these promises that you read, because you

708
00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:14.960
read these passages and you're like, WHOA, nothing like that

709
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:18.559
has ever happened. So then you've got to start spiritualizing

710
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:21.440
it to death. And I just that's where I have

711
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:22.039
a problem.

712
00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:27.760
And tonight, in part one, we are going to primarily

713
00:43:27.840 --> 00:43:33.320
focus on the throne of David, Old Testament scripture, New

714
00:43:33.360 --> 00:43:39.639
Testament scripture, and everything that these Bible verses are pointing to.

715
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:42.639
And I hope that it will be a blessing for you.

716
00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:47.480
We're so glad that you're here with us tonight. Oh,

717
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:49.039
daughter's exact.

718
00:43:53.079 --> 00:43:57.679
Okay, I did not realize there was music, all right.

719
00:43:58.039 --> 00:44:01.519
I wasn't expecting that. That caught me off guard, all right,

720
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:09.679
So I'm going to turn this way down. I'm turning

721
00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:10.679
this way down.

722
00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:12.400
If you can.

723
00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:16.000
I want to try to fast forward it, but I'll

724
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:18.760
end up going way past it. The ability to skip

725
00:44:18.800 --> 00:44:21.800
ahead on my studio software is not the best. It

726
00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:24.960
doesn't have a little button. It's like, you know, five minutes,

727
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:28.800
five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds. It doesn't have that

728
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:32.000
at all. So we will get back to this. Hang on.

729
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:34.199
I'm gonna yeah, I'm just gonna let it play. It

730
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:37.559
can't be that long, hopefully, so we will see here,

731
00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:44.679
we will see here. Yeah, we'll let it play. So

732
00:44:44.840 --> 00:44:49.159
but whenever we investigate these types of things and study

733
00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.559
these types of things, just important to realize how much

734
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:57.199
disagreement there is within the Christian world on issues of eschatology.

735
00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:03.039
There's major disagreements in these and I wish, I know,

736
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:06.239
I know, we love within Christian world to have this

737
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:11.119
mindset that it's so simple, it's so easy because because

738
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:13.599
here's what happens when when you go to church, the

739
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:17.320
way it's taught is the system is taught, and then

740
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:19.719
you're given the system. The system is placed upon the

741
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:21.800
Bible in your life, and then it's like, well, see

742
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:24.639
that's what the Bible teaches. Well, you're really just reading

743
00:45:24.920 --> 00:45:27.760
the Bible through the lens of the system. And what

744
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:29.719
we need to do is get to the text and

745
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:31.639
see where the text leads us. And it's hard to

746
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:33.800
get peop Christians to do that because they just want

747
00:45:33.800 --> 00:45:39.000
to be taught a system, very simple, very authoritative, and dogmatic,

748
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:42.599
and then just say that's what I believe. But no

749
00:45:42.719 --> 00:45:45.280
one system is perfect. Let's just make that very clear.

750
00:45:45.719 --> 00:45:48.360
There there's issues with all of them, and anyone who

751
00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:52.360
denies that is just not being fair. There's there's there's difficulties.

752
00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:58.400
There's difficulties with all of them. Even with some there's

753
00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:02.440
dispensational ideas, and I'll be like, oh, I don't see.

754
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:05.199
That's why I say, you don't have to be identified

755
00:46:05.239 --> 00:46:09.159
by a system. The systems are there, and you can

756
00:46:09.199 --> 00:46:10.960
go from the systems and say, okay, what are you?

757
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:13.880
What are you saying? Okay, but I'm not bound to it.

758
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:17.480
The system is not my magisteral authority where I and

759
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:20.440
I have tod well, what what what? What do you believe?

760
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:22.880
I People want you to be identified. They want to

761
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:25.239
be able to put you in a category. You're dispensationalist,

762
00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:28.440
you're a non millennialist. How about I'm just I don't know,

763
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:31.599
someone trying to figure out the Bible. And yeah, there's

764
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:35.599
there's there's things about dispensationalism. I'm much more dispensational. There

765
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:39.039
may be things that I disagree with dispensationalists on outright,

766
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:42.599
but I don't really care who gets offended. Now, that's

767
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:45.440
not that's great for being a podcaster. Let me tell

768
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:47.679
you it's not great doing that as a church Okay,

769
00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:51.320
I know, because people are just gonna leave and they're

770
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:53.719
going to go find a church that agrees with their system.

771
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:55.039
They just want a system.

772
00:46:55.320 --> 00:46:55.639
They don't.

773
00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:57.519
They don't they want to be taught theology. They don't

774
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.159
want to do theology. These are issues I talk about constantly.

775
00:47:02.199 --> 00:47:08.880
I wonder, I hope this program. I hope they have copyright.

776
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:11.719
I hope they have rights to play that music. I

777
00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:17.679
hope they do. I'm assuming they do. Many Christian podcasters

778
00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:19.599
just think that they can just grab something and play it.

779
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:23.159
And it's like, it doesn't work that way. It doesn't.

780
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:26.519
And you say, well, you're reviewing because well, fair use

781
00:47:26.599 --> 00:47:32.199
allows me to review for critique and analysis and educational purposes.

782
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:35.199
But man, it comes to music, man, there's very little

783
00:47:35.719 --> 00:47:38.559
you can't do much with that. The music copyright laws

784
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:42.320
are crazy, so and I don't disagree with them, because

785
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:47.559
the artists should have their music protected. But I just

786
00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:50.039
sometimes I'll listen to these Christian podscasters, I'm like, do

787
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:52.960
they have rights to play that? I'm just going to

788
00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:57.079
say they do, but I don't, so I'm not playing it.

789
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.280
I think this is fast coming to an end. I

790
00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:07.159
apologize to this caught me off guard. I wasn't ready say.

791
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.280
This is what happens when you review things without listening

792
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:11.280
to it first. But typically we don't hear music in

793
00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:14.519
what we're reviewing, right, or it's at the beginning and

794
00:48:14.840 --> 00:48:17.000
we just start the review at the at the end

795
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:19.840
of the music. This caught me a little off guard. Okay,

796
00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:31.079
here we go. They're going to play more, all right.

797
00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:34.199
They're making this very difficult on me. Come on, now,

798
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.760
I'm trying my best. I'm trying to do a good review. Here,

799
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:48.519
come on, help me out, Jesus. I wonder if they

800
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:51.119
have the rights to all of this. If they do,

801
00:48:51.599 --> 00:48:54.360
I wonder you got to pay a certain amount, like

802
00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:57.760
I wonder, Like that's just I want to fast forward it,

803
00:48:57.800 --> 00:49:02.920
but I'm afraid I will mess it up. M afraid

804
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:10.400
i'll mess it up. I kind of fast forwarded a

805
00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:13.519
little bit. You didn't hear that, so hopefully I'm a

806
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:21.960
little bit closer. Yeah, that's that's interesting. Okay, Well this

807
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:25.159
is this is causing a little delay. But I don't

808
00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:26.599
want to I don't want to just keep messing it

809
00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:29.519
around because the Spreaker software has had some you know, issues,

810
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:31.960
and so if I feel like I keep moving it around.

811
00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:35.199
I'm going to get that little will of death and

812
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:37.840
then everything's going to crash and I'm not and I

813
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:40.639
lose everything. So I would rather just have to go

814
00:49:40.679 --> 00:49:44.320
through a little bit of this. But yeah, we will see,

815
00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:46.840
we will see. But yeah, as I as I was saying,

816
00:49:48.159 --> 00:49:51.159
that's one of the difficult, difficult things dealing with many

817
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:54.199
Christians is the Church really I don't think can ever

818
00:49:54.320 --> 00:50:00.000
truly be the source of philological and biblical education as

819
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:03.440
should be, because what many Christians want, they don't want

820
00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:06.400
to be challenged. They just want they just want to say,

821
00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:10.679
here's what we our system believes, and just teach me.

822
00:50:11.280 --> 00:50:13.039
Just teach me the system. They don't want to be

823
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:17.920
forced in the uncomfortable position of doing theology. Just teach

824
00:50:17.960 --> 00:50:21.440
me it. And if I disagree now, I'll just leave anyway.

825
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:23.760
But just teach me it now. As long as you

826
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:27.440
stay within the agreed upon parameters, then okay. But if

827
00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.679
you go outside these agreed upon perimeters, I'm just going

828
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:31.599
to leave. They don't want to just be there to

829
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:35.519
be struggle through things and work and try to figure

830
00:50:35.559 --> 00:50:37.800
it out and maybe be in a place where there's

831
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.280
a little disagreement. They don't want that. They want to

832
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:43.079
only hear what they want to hear, and they will

833
00:50:43.079 --> 00:50:48.000
not tolerate anything else. And it's like, ah, there's no

834
00:50:48.079 --> 00:50:53.639
way to actually then do theology that way, because do

835
00:50:53.760 --> 00:51:05.840
theology you're questioning, you're challenging, you're creating hypotheses. H I'm

836
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:13.239
gonna try to fast forward just a little bit. Maybe

837
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:16.559
they're getting close to the end. Now here we go.

838
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:19.000
They gotta be done. They gotta be done, they gotta

839
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:21.760
be done. Here we go. Let's hope. Let's hope. Here

840
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:52.559
we go. Ohsic, Okay, maybe not where I'm just gonna

841
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.639
fast forward this again? Where where is how much music

842
00:51:55.719 --> 00:51:58.440
do they play in this? Hang on, let's let's let's

843
00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:03.039
see now, is is this it? No? All right, let's

844
00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:09.159
see if I can go here? Wow? That is crazy?

845
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:20.199
All right? Here we go. Yeah, that's how about this? Wow?

846
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:26.360
This is like a full blown music program. I wonder,

847
00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:30.960
I wonder if they've got copyright for all race Micah, Okay,

848
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:32.559
here we go. Now we can back it up a

849
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:34.480
little bit. Now we can back it up a little bit.

850
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:41.480
Spoken require I think this is the end. I think

851
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:44.119
this is the end. I apologize for all of that

852
00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:46.199
and that took minutes of our time.

853
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:53.440

a little bit. I did not know a good portion

915
00:57:33.360 --> 00:57:35.320

you to answer them according to your will, your way,

921
00:57:57.480 --> 00:58:01.519
in your time, And we asked the things Lord in

922
00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:08.280
Jesus' name. Amen. Amen, Well, good evening, everybody, glad that

923
00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:12.039
you are here tonight. And tonight we start our brand

924
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:19.480
new Bible series on the coming restoration of the Nation

925
00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:22.199
of Israel, and we're going to talk a lot tonight

926
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:27.320
about that. And just like Clarence Larkin back in nineteen

927
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:32.559
seventeen when he wrote Dispensational Truth, took a very bold

928
00:58:32.639 --> 00:58:40.440
stand and he said, according to the scripture, Israel is

929
00:58:40.719 --> 00:58:44.840
absolutely going to be regathered, and it's going to happen

930
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:46.599
sooner rather than later.

931
00:58:50.000 --> 00:58:54.239
I thought the book was nineteen eighteen, So whether it's

932
00:58:54.320 --> 00:58:56.719
nineteen seventeen or nineteen eighteen, you can look and see

933
00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:59.079
which date is correct. I thought it was nineteen eighteen.

934
00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:03.440
I could have been wrong, right, So let's continue.

935
00:59:03.639 --> 00:59:08.039
Lawrence Larkin died in nineteen thirty four. Fourteen years later,

936
00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:13.280
Israel would be regathered as a nation for the first

937
00:59:13.320 --> 00:59:17.559
time in two thousand years. And so tonight we are

938
00:59:17.599 --> 00:59:24.400
going to look at the amazing future restoration of the

939
00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:29.400
nation of Israel. Before we get started, I received a

940
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:36.679
letter today from Nteber Emily, and this is what she wrote.

941
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:39.679
I wanted to write to thank you for your radio

942
00:59:39.840 --> 00:59:43.760
Bible ministry. I have been listening to you for about

943
00:59:43.800 --> 00:59:48.119
two years now. I feel that I am learning so much. Amen.

944
00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:52.840
I homeschooled my two boys, ages six to eight. We

945
00:59:52.960 --> 01:00:00.639
started studying the Old Testament using Apologia's textbook. During the

946
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:04.800
reading of a psalm, I read the word Sela at

947
01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:08.519
the end. My boys were coloring as I was reading,

948
01:00:09.039 --> 01:00:14.239
and my little six year old asked what Sila meant.

949
01:00:14.719 --> 01:00:18.480
I smiled because thanks to you, I knew the answer.

950
01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:22.719
I know you guys are enjoying the new bookstore. I

951
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:26.159
will be looking to see what you might have for

952
01:00:26.480 --> 01:00:30.960
the little ones. And we have a brand new, greatly

953
01:00:31.039 --> 01:00:36.360
expanded selection of books for young readers and for little kids,

954
01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:41.039
and we hope that that will be a blessing to you.

955
01:00:41.519 --> 01:00:46.639
But I wanted to read that letter just to remind

956
01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:53.760
you of the importance and the necessity of daily Bible study.

957
01:00:54.679 --> 01:01:00.000
We have been doing these twice a week Bible study program.

958
01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:02.719
Now I will circle this back around to kind of

959
01:01:02.719 --> 01:01:06.159
what we were talking about the other day, Right, we

960
01:01:06.159 --> 01:01:09.280
were talking about like we were talking about AI and

961
01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:13.679
technological advancements, and well this is this is the technological

962
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:18.119
advancement of Christian radio or Christian podcasting, right, And so

963
01:01:18.239 --> 01:01:21.840
I said, as these things continue to happen, it calls

964
01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:23.360
into question the church.

965
01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:23.639
Right.

966
01:01:23.679 --> 01:01:26.920
I talked about how I was basically discipled, not in

967
01:01:26.960 --> 01:01:29.800
the church, but outside the church Christian radio. So what

968
01:01:29.880 --> 01:01:32.119
does the church actually bring to the table. Well, here's

969
01:01:32.159 --> 01:01:35.360
a woman writing a radio ministry saying, Hey, I knew

970
01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:39.880
the word what Sealia meant, not from our church, from radio.

971
01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:45.480
Like that's like that is like how do we I

972
01:01:45.559 --> 01:01:48.000
still don't know how to process that? Right? I still

973
01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:53.079
struggle with that. Like the people with a microphone in

974
01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:57.119
many cases do more than an entire church building and

975
01:01:57.199 --> 01:01:59.960
all the money and effort and resources that go in

976
01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:06.320
to keep it operating. How do you? I struggle with

977
01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:09.400
how to process that? But okay, all right, let's continue.

978
01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:12.880
We're already at an hour. We didn't get anywhere, so

979
01:02:12.920 --> 01:02:15.239
I'm a little Remember goal number one was just to

980
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:17.519
tell you about this. Goal number two was to do

981
01:02:17.599 --> 01:02:20.000
somewhat of a review. So I'm going to be very

982
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:22.840
frustrated when this is over. But I at least accomplished

983
01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:25.159
goal number one. Don't forget goal number one because we're

984
01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:27.320
not getting anywhere close to goal number two. But I'm

985
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:28.920
going to go a little longer to week and get

986
01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:32.920
maybe at least one something about the ultimate topic.

987
01:02:32.679 --> 01:02:40.960
Here for thirteen years thirteen years now, and recently we

988
01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:47.519
just passed our two thousandth episode, and that's a lot

989
01:02:47.800 --> 01:02:52.440
of talk about the Bible. That's a lot of study

990
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:56.559
into the scripture. And I love when we get letters

991
01:02:56.679 --> 01:02:58.840
like that, when.

992
01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:04.440
Just think over two thousand episodes, what did they say,

993
01:03:04.519 --> 01:03:06.920
I can't remember how many years they said we hear

994
01:03:07.039 --> 01:03:12.199
the Theology Central podcast. We're over four thousand episodes, over

995
01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:16.159
four thousand, and we've done it in about five years,

996
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:20.800
maybe about five six years. As over those four thousand episodes,

997
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:23.199
have you bring everything together from all the different things

998
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:26.320
that we've done, some of them were there was different

999
01:03:26.920 --> 01:03:30.079
feeds and different you know, RSS feeds, But if you

1000
01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:33.920
bring it all together, yeah, about four thousand episodes. So

1001
01:03:34.199 --> 01:03:38.000
just please just consider how much over two thousand for them,

1002
01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:40.440
over four thousand for us. Just think of how many

1003
01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:43.960
hours of content that is just just from two broadcasters.

1004
01:03:44.280 --> 01:03:49.360
That would be over six thousand episodes from two broadcasters,

1005
01:03:50.079 --> 01:03:54.400
over six thousand episodes. That at a minimum, that's over

1006
01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:58.679
six thousand hours at a minimum, a minimum of six

1007
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:05.719
thousand hours of content. And I guarantee you both of

1008
01:04:05.719 --> 01:04:08.559
those are done way cheaper than it would be for

1009
01:04:08.639 --> 01:04:11.920
any church to operate, way cheaper than for any church

1010
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:15.199
to operate Like that's how how do we deal with that?

1011
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:21.079
People? Reach out to say, hey, your Bible studies mean

1012
01:04:21.199 --> 01:04:24.039
so much to me, and they're really helping me. They're

1013
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:33.719
helping our kids, they're helping our family, and we are

1014
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:37.599
so very appreciative when you guys take the time to

1015
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:40.920
write and to tell us how much that you enjoy

1016
01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:45.719
these Bible studies. And everything that we do here is

1017
01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:53.599
geared towards teaching people about the Bible. What does it say,

1018
01:04:55.079 --> 01:04:59.400
what is Bible doctrine all about? What does rightly dividing mean?

1019
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:02.760
And all these other things and topics that we talk

1020
01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:07.920
about over the last thirteen years Bible study. You need

1021
01:05:07.960 --> 01:05:14.480
to do more Bible study in your daily life than

1022
01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:18.000
any other one, single thing that you do. Now. I

1023
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:22.079
know that's a very hard goal to reach, and I

1024
01:05:22.079 --> 01:05:27.280
don't always reach that goal myself, but it remains the goal.

1025
01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:33.239
Tonight we start a brand new series on the restoration

1026
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:37.440
of the Nation of Israel. Doctor Ruckman has a little

1027
01:05:37.480 --> 01:05:38.800
booklet that we sell.

1028
01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:50.920
Oh no, oh, no, doctor Ruckman. Is that Peter Ruckman?

1029
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:56.880
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no no no.

1030
01:05:57.159 --> 01:06:00.679
That cannot be Peter Ruckman. That cannot be Peter Rugman.

1031
01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:11.800
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no

1032
01:06:11.800 --> 01:06:20.400
no no, no, no, no, no, uh okay, yeah, okay,

1033
01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:24.239
so yeah ruckmanism. I look what, oh man, we could

1034
01:06:24.280 --> 01:06:27.400
get into a whole discussion they sell a something by

1035
01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:43.559
Peter Ruckman that is crazy. Oh man, we could get

1036
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:48.159
into a whole discussion about Peter Ruckman. Okay, all right,

1037
01:06:48.639 --> 01:06:50.599
I hope it's not Peter Ruckman. I hope it's a

1038
01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:53.719
different Ruckman. Hopefully, hopefully it's not anything to do with Ruckman.

1039
01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:57.719
Oh the Rugman night views, oh Man, because those are

1040
01:06:57.800 --> 01:07:02.199
majorly problematic, ladies and gentlemen, majorly problem One of the

1041
01:07:02.239 --> 01:07:04.440
wonderful things about doing these reviews is I never know

1042
01:07:04.480 --> 01:07:07.800
what's going to happen. That's the fun part. You can see.

1043
01:07:07.800 --> 01:07:10.599
Some of the frustrating part is we just all this

1044
01:07:10.679 --> 01:07:13.239
has been a little kind of messed up. But man,

1045
01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:16.679
I was not expecting to hear Peter Rutman's name. Oh wow, Okay,

1046
01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:20.079
let's see what booklet he's referencing. Let's see what book

1047
01:07:20.079 --> 01:07:21.119
he's referencing.

1048
01:07:23.519 --> 01:07:27.079
It's not expensive. It's like five fifty for the booklet,

1049
01:07:27.440 --> 01:07:33.079
and it's called The Restoration of Israel, And it's really

1050
01:07:33.239 --> 01:07:37.079
just six messages that he gave on the physical and

1051
01:07:37.159 --> 01:07:42.960
spiritual restoration promised to the nation of Israel in the scriptures.

1052
01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:47.159
And we live in a day and age where Christians

1053
01:07:47.960 --> 01:07:52.719
struggle to understand what the nation of Israel is all about,

1054
01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:57.840
where Christians put themselves into the time of Jacob's trouble

1055
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:01.679
because they don't understan stand with the time of Jacob's

1056
01:08:01.679 --> 01:08:06.280
trouble is. If you knew what the time of Jacob's

1057
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:10.559
trouble was, you would never, as a Christian put yourself

1058
01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:14.440
there because you don't belong there.

1059
01:08:16.840 --> 01:08:19.199
Here's what I would say. If you want to know

1060
01:08:19.760 --> 01:08:24.239
about the restoration of Israel, what I would say is

1061
01:08:24.279 --> 01:08:27.560
take your Bible and just start looking, going through, skimming

1062
01:08:28.319 --> 01:08:31.399
and looking for verses about promises that seem to be

1063
01:08:31.560 --> 01:08:35.239
to Israel, and just ask yourself, has that ever been fulfilled?

1064
01:08:35.439 --> 01:08:37.119
And then say is that going to be fulfilled for

1065
01:08:37.159 --> 01:08:39.399
the nation of Israel? Or do I spiritualize that and

1066
01:08:39.439 --> 01:08:42.680
say it's the Church. You don't need a Rugman. But

1067
01:08:42.760 --> 01:08:45.560
if you want to find Rugman's a little booklet on

1068
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:47.880
the Restoration of Israel, by all means you can look

1069
01:08:47.880 --> 01:08:53.119
for it. Just realize Peter Ruckman had some very very

1070
01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:58.600
false and damaging and almost bortal I won't say go

1071
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:03.319
beyond that, just some really good things. And so yeah,

1072
01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:07.039
he was much more prominent in the independent, fundamental King

1073
01:09:07.319 --> 01:09:10.680
King James only world. And then even many within that

1074
01:09:10.760 --> 01:09:13.479
world was like, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1075
01:09:13.520 --> 01:09:17.239
we're not a Rugman night, We do not believe in Ruckmanism.

1076
01:09:17.439 --> 01:09:22.439
Did we reject his view? And so I felt that

1077
01:09:22.520 --> 01:09:25.079
he'd kind of like no longer was relevant. It's crazy

1078
01:09:25.079 --> 01:09:27.920
to hear a program in twenty twenty four promoting something

1079
01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:32.000
of Peter Ruckman's. That's really catching me off guard.

1080
01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:35.159
Now, I'm not going to spend a lot of time

1081
01:09:35.199 --> 01:09:38.439
talking about the pre tribulation Rapture of the Church. We

1082
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:43.880
just finished a four part series entitled From the pre

1083
01:09:44.000 --> 01:09:47.000
Tribulation Rapture of the Church to the End of the World.

1084
01:09:47.720 --> 01:09:52.520
If you haven't listened to that series, we strongly urge

1085
01:09:52.800 --> 01:09:56.439
you to take the time and go listen to all

1086
01:09:56.479 --> 01:10:00.840
eight hours of that series and under stand what the

1087
01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:05.199
Bible has to say from the event known as the

1088
01:10:05.199 --> 01:10:08.840
pre tribulation rapture of the Church all the way to

1089
01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:14.119
the end of the world going into eternity. Tonight we

1090
01:10:14.199 --> 01:10:17.439
start our four well, I don't I almost said four

1091
01:10:17.479 --> 01:10:20.720
part series I don't know how many parts. Maybe it's

1092
01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:23.760
just going to be two or three, maybe it will

1093
01:10:23.800 --> 01:10:28.439
be five or six. Remember about six or seven years ago,

1094
01:10:29.119 --> 01:10:33.359
we did like a fifteen part series on the Book

1095
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:36.920
of Isaiah, and some of you have been around long

1096
01:10:37.039 --> 01:10:41.640
enough you remember that series. And I do love a

1097
01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:45.079
good series, and that gives me the time to kind

1098
01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:49.039
of really build it out and talk about everything that

1099
01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:54.920
needs to be discussed. So tonight, if you're just tuning in,

1100
01:10:56.319 --> 01:11:01.239
we are doing part one of The Coming Restorer of Israel,

1101
01:11:02.439 --> 01:11:06.359
and we're going to be focused on the Throne of David.

1102
01:11:08.680 --> 01:11:13.840
I will say this, he's dragging this out, as I mean,

1103
01:11:14.359 --> 01:11:17.319
it's crazy how long this has been dragged out to

1104
01:11:17.319 --> 01:11:20.159
get to He's not even really giving us an introduction yet,

1105
01:11:20.199 --> 01:11:23.119
It's just been dragged on. It's like, come on, Like

1106
01:11:23.479 --> 01:11:25.479
I hate to say it, but I'm like, can we

1107
01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:28.199
just can you give me something so I can wrap

1108
01:11:28.279 --> 01:11:30.359
up my review. I want people to go listen to.

1109
01:11:30.600 --> 01:11:33.000
So whenever if you go listen to part one of this,

1110
01:11:33.399 --> 01:11:36.720
just remember you can skip now a good I've done

1111
01:11:36.760 --> 01:11:38.760
all the work for you. You can just skip all

1112
01:11:38.760 --> 01:11:41.039
of this and you can just go right to the teaching.

1113
01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:43.319
So maybe I've done a service for you if you'll

1114
01:11:43.359 --> 01:11:46.840
actually go listen to it. But man, it's like, come on,

1115
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:50.439
I want to have at least one thing that we

1116
01:11:50.520 --> 01:11:52.720
can grab on to, all right, So let's see if

1117
01:11:52.760 --> 01:11:53.920
we can get to that one thing.

1118
01:11:56.720 --> 01:11:59.479
At the beginning of the broadcast, I started with Luke

1119
01:11:59.600 --> 01:12:03.439
Chapter on one, verses thirty two and thirty three. He

1120
01:12:03.479 --> 01:12:06.640
shall be great and shall be called the Son of

1121
01:12:06.680 --> 01:12:10.039
the Highest, and the Lord God shall give unto him

1122
01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:15.159
the throne of his father David. And he shall reign

1123
01:12:15.239 --> 01:12:19.439
over the House of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom

1124
01:12:19.920 --> 01:12:25.720
there shall be no end. Did you know that your

1125
01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:30.479
King James Bible has a main theme? Do you remember

1126
01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:33.359
back in school, whether it was grade school, high school,

1127
01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:37.800
or college or beyond, and you had to write a

1128
01:12:37.880 --> 01:12:42.279
thesis about something and you had to talk about the

1129
01:12:42.319 --> 01:12:45.760
main theme of your thesis.

1130
01:12:46.199 --> 01:12:47.560
You know what the main theme of.

1131
01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:51.680
Your Bible is? It is all about the coming king

1132
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:57.840
and the coming kingdom. That is the main theme of

1133
01:12:57.880 --> 01:12:58.600
your Bible.

1134
01:13:02.039 --> 01:13:04.800
Is the main theme of your Bible, the coming King

1135
01:13:05.720 --> 01:13:11.439
and the coming Kingdom? Do you think that's the main theme? Now?

1136
01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:14.119
Now again, this is one of those fun things about Christianity.

1137
01:13:14.119 --> 01:13:16.199
If I was asked ten Christians what is the main

1138
01:13:16.239 --> 01:13:19.600
theme of the Bible, I probably would get thirty different answers. So,

1139
01:13:19.800 --> 01:13:21.760
but you can write down what he thinks the main

1140
01:13:21.840 --> 01:13:24.960
theme is. The main theme is the coming King and

1141
01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:30.399
the coming Kingdom.

1142
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:39.399
Turn to Isaiah chapter eleven. Turn to the Book of Isaiah,

1143
01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:44.520
chapter eleven. And I want to as we set the

1144
01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:48.359
table for tonight's Bible study, I want to talk just

1145
01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:54.479
very briefly about the fact that the Bible talks about

1146
01:13:54.720 --> 01:14:02.800
two restorations of the nation of Israel. There's not three,

1147
01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:08.119
there's not four, there's not one. There are only two

1148
01:14:09.119 --> 01:14:16.680
times in scripture where the prophets talk about God regathering

1149
01:14:17.079 --> 01:14:20.880
the people. Now there's dozens and dozens, if not one

1150
01:14:21.000 --> 01:14:25.840
hundred plus places where this subject is talked about.

1151
01:14:27.520 --> 01:14:33.239
But just think about that one hundred, one hundred plus

1152
01:14:33.279 --> 01:14:35.600
places in the Bible where this subject has talked about.

1153
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:38.159
So that would be good to compile your own list,

1154
01:14:39.640 --> 01:14:42.640
right and now if you it would be I don't

1155
01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:44.880
think everyone would come up with the same number because

1156
01:14:44.880 --> 01:14:46.800
I think some of the verses we'd be like, I

1157
01:14:46.840 --> 01:14:49.279
don't know if this really works right, But it would

1158
01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:51.439
be good to try to compile a list. That would

1159
01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:54.119
be a lot of work, and you know, maybe maybe

1160
01:14:54.159 --> 01:14:55.960
we need to do that someday. I don't know. But

1161
01:14:56.319 --> 01:14:59.479
let's see, we're now going to get at least a scripture.

1162
01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:02.680
We're gonna an actual scripture here and do something with it.

1163
01:15:02.760 --> 01:15:04.279
So we were going to finish this and then we'll

1164
01:15:04.279 --> 01:15:05.199
be done. Now here we go.

1165
01:15:06.479 --> 01:15:12.439
There's only two times anywhere in the Bible where Israel

1166
01:15:12.680 --> 01:15:18.000
is being regathered. The first time, obviously, is after the

1167
01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:26.039
Babylonian captivity. That's the first regathering. And keep your finger

1168
01:15:26.640 --> 01:15:34.640
in Isaiah chapter eleven, and turn to Second Chronicles, Second Chronicles,

1169
01:15:34.960 --> 01:15:42.600
chapter thirty six, Chapter thirty six. This is the last

1170
01:15:43.199 --> 01:15:48.359
two verses in the Hebrew Bible, Second Chronicles, thirty six

1171
01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:52.920
twenty two. Now in the first year of Cyrus, King

1172
01:15:52.960 --> 01:15:56.520
of Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken by

1173
01:15:56.560 --> 01:16:01.079
the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished. Lord stirred up

1174
01:16:01.119 --> 01:16:05.119
the spirit of Cyrus King of Persia, that he made

1175
01:16:05.159 --> 01:16:09.319
a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also

1176
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:14.920
in writing, saying, thus sayest Cyrus King of Persia, all

1177
01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:17.239
the kingdoms of the earth, had the Lord, God of

1178
01:16:17.279 --> 01:16:20.600
Heaven given me, and he has charged me to build

1179
01:16:20.680 --> 01:16:25.640
him and house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah, who

1180
01:16:25.720 --> 01:16:28.560
is there among you of all his people. The Lord

1181
01:16:28.640 --> 01:16:31.760
his God be with him, and let him go up.

1182
01:16:32.760 --> 01:16:35.760
This is how the Hebrew Bible comes to an end,

1183
01:16:36.479 --> 01:16:42.199
with the jew being called back to Jerusalem. You want

1184
01:16:42.199 --> 01:16:46.840
to know how the King James Bible Old Testament ends.

1185
01:16:47.680 --> 01:16:55.840
It ends in Malachi chapter four. Malachi chapter four, verse two.

1186
01:16:56.800 --> 01:16:59.800
But unto you that fear my name, shall the Son

1187
01:16:59.840 --> 01:17:03.560
of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings. And ye

1188
01:17:03.560 --> 01:17:06.520
shall go forth and grow up as calves of the soul.

1189
01:17:07.439 --> 01:17:09.680
And ye shall tread down the wicked, for they shall

1190
01:17:09.680 --> 01:17:12.359
be ashes under the souls of your feet in the

1191
01:17:12.439 --> 01:17:15.119
day that I shall do. This, sayth the Lord of Hosts.

1192
01:17:16.119 --> 01:17:19.079
Remember ye the law of Moses, my servant, which I

1193
01:17:19.119 --> 01:17:22.640
commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the

1194
01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:28.199
statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the Prophet,

1195
01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:30.800
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of

1196
01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:33.479
the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of the

1197
01:17:33.560 --> 01:17:36.279
fathers to the children, and the heart of the children

1198
01:17:36.359 --> 01:17:39.800
to the fathers. Lest I come and smite the earth

1199
01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:45.680
with a curse. The King James Bible Old Testament ends

1200
01:17:45.720 --> 01:17:50.399
with the prophecy of the coming Messiah and the coming Kingdom.

1201
01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:56.239
The Hebrew Bible ends calling Jews to go back and

1202
01:17:56.359 --> 01:18:01.439
rebuild the temple. It's amazing how that works, asn't it so.

1203
01:18:02.359 --> 01:18:05.359
The first time that the Jews were regathered, it was

1204
01:18:05.439 --> 01:18:10.920
after the Babylonian captivity. The second time that the Jews

1205
01:18:11.199 --> 01:18:16.359
will be regathered we read about in Isaiah chapter eleven,

1206
01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:25.119
Versus eleven and twelve. Isaiah eleven, verses eleven and twelve.

1207
01:18:26.399 --> 01:18:29.119
And it shall come to pass in that day that

1208
01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:32.039
the Lord shall set his hand again the second time.

1209
01:18:32.920 --> 01:18:36.920
If you have a paper bible, underline this. That the

1210
01:18:37.000 --> 01:18:41.000
Lord shall set his hand again the second time to

1211
01:18:41.119 --> 01:18:44.520
recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left

1212
01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:50.159
from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush,

1213
01:18:50.199 --> 01:18:53.479
and from Elam, and from Shiner, and from Haymath, and

1214
01:18:53.520 --> 01:18:58.000
from the islands of the sea, presumably Europe and America.

1215
01:18:59.199 --> 01:19:02.600
Verse twelve. And he shall set up an end sign

1216
01:19:03.159 --> 01:19:06.920
for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel

1217
01:19:07.479 --> 01:19:12.119
and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four

1218
01:19:12.479 --> 01:19:17.359
corners of the earth. Now, you might be tempted to

1219
01:19:17.399 --> 01:19:24.319
say that's May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight. You may be

1220
01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:29.319
tempted to say that, but before you do, let's read

1221
01:19:29.600 --> 01:19:34.640
starting in verse one of the same chapter Isaiah.

1222
01:19:34.760 --> 01:19:40.199
Chapter Okay, So his basic premise is that the Second

1223
01:19:40.279 --> 01:19:45.199
Chronicles was the first regathering after the Babylonian captivity. And

1224
01:19:45.239 --> 01:19:47.880
now in Isaiah eleven, he's now trying to show this

1225
01:19:48.840 --> 01:19:52.000
is a different regathering. It's not obviously coming out of

1226
01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:55.279
Babylonian captivity, and it's not nineteen forty eight. It's a

1227
01:19:55.279 --> 01:19:57.880
different one. Right, And that sound of someone drinking that

1228
01:19:57.920 --> 01:20:00.479
was not me, that was him. All right, We'll let

1229
01:20:00.520 --> 01:20:02.920
him at least make this argument here, and then we'll

1230
01:20:02.920 --> 01:20:03.960
wrap up this review.

1231
01:20:07.000 --> 01:20:12.239
Chapter eleven, Verse one. And there shall come forth a

1232
01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:15.640
rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch

1233
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:18.920
shall grow out of his roots. And the spirit of

1234
01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:21.840
the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom

1235
01:20:22.239 --> 01:20:26.000
and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit

1236
01:20:26.039 --> 01:20:29.439
of knowledge, and the fear of the Lord, and shall

1237
01:20:29.479 --> 01:20:32.399
make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord.

1238
01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:35.600
And he shall not judge after the sight of his

1239
01:20:35.680 --> 01:20:39.279
eyes nor reprove after the hearing of his ears. But

1240
01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:44.399
with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with

1241
01:20:44.560 --> 01:20:47.880
equity for the meek of the earth. This is Matthew

1242
01:20:47.960 --> 01:20:51.319
chapter five, the Sermon on the Mount. And he shall

1243
01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:54.039
smite the earth with the rod of his mouth. This

1244
01:20:54.119 --> 01:20:58.560
is Isaiah sixty three, Revelation nineteen. And with the breath

1245
01:20:58.640 --> 01:21:02.960
of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness

1246
01:21:03.039 --> 01:21:06.479
shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the

1247
01:21:06.479 --> 01:21:10.720
girdle of his reigns. The wolf also shall dwell with

1248
01:21:10.800 --> 01:21:13.920
the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid,

1249
01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:17.000
and the calf, and the young lion and the fatling together,

1250
01:21:17.319 --> 01:21:21.920
and a little child shall leave them. What is Isaiah

1251
01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:28.159
talking about. He's talking about the millennium. That is very obvious.

1252
01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:32.720
Just know, depending on if you in the way it

1253
01:21:32.800 --> 01:21:36.560
works in Christianity. He says the millennium. Other people will

1254
01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:40.159
say this happens inside the church. He looks for a

1255
01:21:40.199 --> 01:21:43.840
literal fulfillment. They will look for a spiritual fulfillment. That's

1256
01:21:44.079 --> 01:21:47.319
just that's why Christianity is so divided. No one agrees

1257
01:21:47.359 --> 01:21:49.680
on anything, but okay, let's let him go all, let's

1258
01:21:49.680 --> 01:21:52.119
son at least make this argument about Isaiah.

1259
01:21:51.720 --> 01:21:57.239
Eleven, verse seven. And the cow and the bear shall

1260
01:21:57.279 --> 01:22:01.479
feed their young. One shall lie down together, and the

1261
01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:05.239
lion shall eat straw like the ox. Have you ever

1262
01:22:05.279 --> 01:22:09.039
watched what a lion eats? Now, a lion eats raw,

1263
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:15.159
red meat, that's what lions eat. But here the lion

1264
01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:20.760
has become a vegetarian. And the suckling child shall play

1265
01:22:20.760 --> 01:22:24.039
in the hole of the asp that's a snake, And

1266
01:22:24.079 --> 01:22:27.319
the wean child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den,

1267
01:22:27.880 --> 01:22:32.600
that's a spider. They shall not hurt nor destroy in

1268
01:22:32.760 --> 01:22:37.399
all my holy mountain, For the earth shall be full

1269
01:22:37.479 --> 01:22:40.239
of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover

1270
01:22:40.640 --> 01:22:45.479
the sea. And in that day there shall be a

1271
01:22:45.640 --> 01:22:50.199
root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of

1272
01:22:50.279 --> 01:22:53.960
the people, to which shall the gentiles seek, and his

1273
01:22:54.239 --> 01:23:01.279
rest shall be glorious. This is why the next verse,

1274
01:23:02.039 --> 01:23:05.640
the one that we started with, is not talking about

1275
01:23:06.199 --> 01:23:10.880
May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight. None of those things that

1276
01:23:10.960 --> 01:23:15.319
I just mentioned to you, from Isaiah eleven to one,

1277
01:23:15.800 --> 01:23:19.600
all the way down to verse ten, none of those

1278
01:23:19.640 --> 01:23:24.720
things have happened yet. And this is the context in

1279
01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:29.840
which verse eleven sits, and it shall come to pass

1280
01:23:29.920 --> 01:23:33.439
in that day that the Lord shall set his hand

1281
01:23:33.680 --> 01:23:38.800
again the second time to recover the remnant of his people.

1282
01:23:39.600 --> 01:23:44.119
There is only two times, according to the Bible, that

1283
01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:50.119
the nation of Israel is going to be officially regathered. Now,

1284
01:23:52.119 --> 01:23:56.800
I am not denigrating May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight. I

1285
01:23:56.840 --> 01:24:01.279
am not putting it down or making light of that.

1286
01:24:01.359 --> 01:24:05.279
What happened on May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight is nothing

1287
01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:12.720
short of a miracle. It is the prophetic hand of

1288
01:24:12.880 --> 01:24:16.560
God who put the Jewish people back in the nation

1289
01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:24.920
of Israel in a stupendous and horrible and spectacular way.

1290
01:24:26.079 --> 01:24:30.960
Do you realize without the Holocaust, the Jews would never

1291
01:24:31.039 --> 01:24:34.520
have been put back in their land. There would have

1292
01:24:34.560 --> 01:24:39.000
been no public sympathy for the jew There would have

1293
01:24:39.039 --> 01:24:42.840
been no international outcry to give the Jewish people their

1294
01:24:42.840 --> 01:24:52.880
own homeland. That was only made possible because the Holocaust happened. Now,

1295
01:24:52.880 --> 01:24:54.079
the Bible says this.

1296
01:24:56.720 --> 01:25:00.000
That makes me a little nervous. Are you saying, well,

1297
01:25:00.039 --> 01:25:03.000
Holocaust was horrible, but look that's how they got the land.

1298
01:25:03.119 --> 01:25:05.119
Or you could say God could have given them the

1299
01:25:05.199 --> 01:25:09.760
land in nineteen forty eight without the Holocaust, right, Are

1300
01:25:09.760 --> 01:25:12.399
you saying that's the only way God could have done it,

1301
01:25:12.479 --> 01:25:15.760
is have six million Jews exterminated so that there would

1302
01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:17.920
be sympathy and a call for them to have their

1303
01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:23.279
own land, their own nation. I think that that's almost

1304
01:25:23.319 --> 01:25:25.960
like trying to say, well, see, bad things happen, but

1305
01:25:26.039 --> 01:25:29.079
good things come from millions of people were murdered, and

1306
01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:32.319
that's okay. I'm not a fan of the way that

1307
01:25:32.399 --> 01:25:32.920
was stated.

1308
01:25:35.279 --> 01:25:37.319
And I want you to think about this verse, and

1309
01:25:37.399 --> 01:25:43.960
I want you to tremble at this verse. Isaiah, chapter

1310
01:25:44.119 --> 01:25:52.359
forty eight, verse ten. Isaiah forty eight, verse ten. Behold,

1311
01:25:52.399 --> 01:25:56.359
I have refined THEE, but not with silver. I have

1312
01:25:56.680 --> 01:26:03.960
chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. You know what

1313
01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:10.319
the number one most horrible thing about the concentration camps were.

1314
01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:14.159
And I could give you a dozen horrible things about

1315
01:26:14.199 --> 01:26:19.880
the concentration camps, But the one thing that everybody talks

1316
01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:25.840
about over and over and over again is about all

1317
01:26:26.000 --> 01:26:31.920
the Jews that got burned alive in the ovens at

1318
01:26:32.000 --> 01:26:40.319
Auschwitz and bergen Belsen and ravens Brooke and Treblinka. And

1319
01:26:40.399 --> 01:26:45.279
the pictures of those ovens with the charred ashes and

1320
01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:51.760
charred bones of Jews piled high. That is really the

1321
01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:59.199
number one defining iconic thing about the concentration camps was

1322
01:26:59.239 --> 01:27:05.239
the ovens. I've been reading about it and watching documentaries

1323
01:27:05.279 --> 01:27:09.479
about it most of my life, and I still can't

1324
01:27:09.479 --> 01:27:16.039
wrap my head around it. I still can't imagine a nation,

1325
01:27:16.319 --> 01:27:22.800
a modern nation of presumably civilized people, doing that to

1326
01:27:23.039 --> 01:27:28.640
other people. I've been reading about these things since nineteen

1327
01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:32.800
seventy five, and I still can't wrap my head around

1328
01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:37.720
what the Nazis did to the Jews during the Holocaust.

1329
01:27:39.560 --> 01:27:44.039
And so when Isaiah says in forty eight ten, behold,

1330
01:27:44.039 --> 01:27:47.680
I have refined thee, but not with silver. I have

1331
01:27:47.920 --> 01:27:53.159
chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. That is how

1332
01:27:53.239 --> 01:27:58.199
the Jewish people got regathered to the nation of Israel,

1333
01:27:59.079 --> 01:28:04.800
but turned to Matthew chapter twenty four, they were put

1334
01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:08.079
back in the land on May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight.

1335
01:28:10.600 --> 01:28:13.359
I'm a little concerned with the use of forty eight

1336
01:28:13.960 --> 01:28:17.760
ten because it uses the word furnace of affliction. Now

1337
01:28:17.840 --> 01:28:20.279
is the furnace of affliction in Isaiah forty eight Is

1338
01:28:20.319 --> 01:28:25.800
that not a reference to the Babylonian captivity or maybe

1339
01:28:25.840 --> 01:28:33.800
even the affliction of Egypt. Now he's going to go

1340
01:28:33.800 --> 01:28:36.439
to Matthew twenty four, which makes me really nervous. It's

1341
01:28:36.479 --> 01:28:40.279
going to Matthew twenty four. I have ugh. This is

1342
01:28:40.279 --> 01:28:43.439
not going anywhere close to the direction I thought this

1343
01:28:43.560 --> 01:28:44.800
was going to go. But let's see what he does

1344
01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:45.880
in Matthew twenty four.

1345
01:28:47.680 --> 01:28:53.399
In order for these verses which are not fulfilled as

1346
01:28:53.399 --> 01:29:00.199
of yet to be fulfilled Matthew twenty four, verse fifteen,

1347
01:29:01.640 --> 01:29:05.920
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken

1348
01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:09.159
of by Daniel the Prophet stand in the Holy place,

1349
01:29:09.439 --> 01:29:13.720
whoso readeth let him understand. Then let them which be

1350
01:29:13.800 --> 01:29:18.760
in Judea flee into the mountains. Go down the verse

1351
01:29:18.840 --> 01:29:20.880
twenty But pray.

1352
01:29:22.520 --> 01:29:25.279
I see he's arguing that Matthew twenty four, p. Fifteen,

1353
01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:28.720
that this has not happened yet. And I all argue

1354
01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:33.079
that a good portion of Matthew twenty four was about

1355
01:29:33.119 --> 01:29:36.199
seventy a D. And a large portion of it was

1356
01:29:36.199 --> 01:29:41.760
fulfilled and seventy a D. So say i'm may, I

1357
01:29:41.800 --> 01:29:44.359
say I may even be in a disagreement with this part.

1358
01:29:46.359 --> 01:29:48.880
Ray ye that your flight be not in the winter,

1359
01:29:49.880 --> 01:29:53.359
neither on the Sabbath day, For then shall be great

1360
01:29:53.439 --> 01:29:56.119
tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the

1361
01:29:56.159 --> 01:30:00.600
world to this time, no nor ever shall be And

1362
01:30:00.680 --> 01:30:05.039
except those days should be shortened. There should no flesh

1363
01:30:05.079 --> 01:30:08.840
be saved, but for the elect's sake, those days shall

1364
01:30:08.920 --> 01:30:15.239
be shortened. If May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight did not happen,

1365
01:30:16.439 --> 01:30:20.960
if the Jewish people did not get put back into

1366
01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:25.840
their homeland, then none of these verses in Matthew chapter

1367
01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:29.319
twenty four could properly be fulfilled.

1368
01:30:31.560 --> 01:30:41.880
Oh man, I don't know, don't know. I don't know

1369
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:42.720
about this.

1370
01:30:44.560 --> 01:30:47.000
I believe Matthew twenty four. For the most part. Look

1371
01:30:47.000 --> 01:30:48.960
at the context of Matthew twenty four. He went back

1372
01:30:49.039 --> 01:30:51.960
to put the context of Isaiah eleven. And when Jesus

1373
01:30:52.039 --> 01:30:55.640
went out and departed from the temple, Jesus is on earth,

1374
01:30:55.680 --> 01:30:58.520
the temple is standing. His disciples came to him and

1375
01:30:58.600 --> 01:31:01.439
show him the buildings, and he said, unto them, see

1376
01:31:01.479 --> 01:31:04.239
not all these things barely seen to you. There shall

1377
01:31:04.279 --> 01:31:07.039
not be left here, one stone upon another. They shall

1378
01:31:07.079 --> 01:31:11.199
not be that shall not be thrown down. And then

1379
01:31:11.239 --> 01:31:13.880
they come to him and they were basically, hey, when

1380
01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:15.680
is all this is going to happen? And he says

1381
01:31:15.720 --> 01:31:17.840
take key that no man deceive you, and it begins

1382
01:31:17.880 --> 01:31:21.039
to tell all of the signs, pointing to seventy A D.

1383
01:31:27.239 --> 01:31:27.479
Yeah.

1384
01:31:27.560 --> 01:31:42.399
I have a hard time here with this, all right, Yeah,

1385
01:31:42.439 --> 01:31:47.760
so okay, and then ultimately man well and a D

1386
01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:51.880
seventy Titus destroyed Jerusalem, burned the temple, and set up

1387
01:31:51.880 --> 01:31:57.520
idols to mock the Jews. So yeah, I mean, even

1388
01:31:57.640 --> 01:32:00.960
this study Bible points to seventy a D. So seventy

1389
01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:05.920
a D seventy a D seventy a D. Okay.

1390
01:32:08.800 --> 01:32:13.960
There would be no remnant to flee in Judea, to

1391
01:32:14.079 --> 01:32:21.359
seal Lepetra. There would be no remnant to do all

1392
01:32:21.399 --> 01:32:26.279
these things that Matthew talks about, because they would be dispersed.

1393
01:32:27.720 --> 01:32:30.960
So when you look at May fourteenth, nineteen forty eight,

1394
01:32:31.279 --> 01:32:33.439
and again I don't want to spend too much time

1395
01:32:33.479 --> 01:32:37.039
on it, but I just as we set the table tonight,

1396
01:32:38.119 --> 01:32:42.159
I just want you to understand that May fourteenth, nineteen

1397
01:32:42.279 --> 01:32:47.760
forty eight was when the Jews were regathered to be scattered.

1398
01:32:48.359 --> 01:32:54.239
And then at the Second Advent, when we return with

1399
01:32:54.399 --> 01:33:00.159
King Jesus as he brings in the kingdom, it is

1400
01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:08.359
then and only then that the Jewish people are going

1401
01:33:08.439 --> 01:33:16.199
to be finally and definitively regathered for the last time,

1402
01:33:17.840 --> 01:33:22.840
and they will never again be driven out of their land.

1403
01:33:26.479 --> 01:33:28.119
If you want to say that we're regathered to be

1404
01:33:28.239 --> 01:33:32.079
scattered again, okay, that's okay, that's your theory. I just

1405
01:33:32.079 --> 01:33:35.600
don't think Matthew twenty four is then being scattered again

1406
01:33:39.039 --> 01:33:42.760
after nineteen forty eight, then nineteen forty eight, that this

1407
01:33:42.880 --> 01:33:45.800
is referring to something happening later. Now, this is something

1408
01:33:45.920 --> 01:33:48.960
that Matthew twenty four is about seventy eight D. For

1409
01:33:49.000 --> 01:33:51.319
the most part. There are some of this that may

1410
01:33:51.439 --> 01:33:54.760
skip to something forward, but I think right there that

1411
01:33:54.880 --> 01:33:58.319
is referencing what happened in seventy a D. There's just

1412
01:33:58.359 --> 01:33:59.920
no way to get around at if you're going to

1413
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:03.720
read Matthew twenty four in any literal context in which

1414
01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:07.239
it is given. They asked about the temple and he

1415
01:34:07.279 --> 01:34:09.920
tells them what's going to lead to its destruction. Is

1416
01:34:10.000 --> 01:34:13.279
what's happening in Matthew twenty four fifteen the destruction of

1417
01:34:13.319 --> 01:34:15.319
the temple that was standing at the time, not the

1418
01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:17.840
destruction of a temple that's going to be standing later.

1419
01:34:18.119 --> 01:34:22.640
So I'm in complete disagreement with the way this is going,

1420
01:34:22.880 --> 01:34:24.399
the way this is going on. He's right in the

1421
01:34:24.399 --> 01:34:26.520
middle of a sentence. I'm letting him finish the sentence.

1422
01:34:26.520 --> 01:34:27.600
And we will stop.

1423
01:34:28.960 --> 01:34:33.279
At the second Advent. When King Jesus sets up the kingdom,

1424
01:34:34.760 --> 01:34:38.720
the Jewish people will be restored and they will never

1425
01:34:38.840 --> 01:34:42.199
again be driven out. And with that we have to

1426
01:34:42.239 --> 01:34:45.880
take our first break of the night. We'll be right

1427
01:34:45.920 --> 01:34:50.039
back after this, and we.

1428
01:34:50.039 --> 01:34:53.920
Will stop right there for our conclusion, not our break.

1429
01:34:54.000 --> 01:34:57.039
All right, we went ninety four minutes. That was a

1430
01:34:57.159 --> 01:35:01.199
wild and that was a long and binding road. But

1431
01:35:01.319 --> 01:35:06.520
we got somewhere. That is called Restoration of Israel Part one.

1432
01:35:07.119 --> 01:35:09.640
It is from again. Let me give you the name

1433
01:35:09.680 --> 01:35:12.199
of their program, so you can find it on the

1434
01:35:12.239 --> 01:35:15.279
sermon's two point zero app and you can listen to it.

1435
01:35:15.279 --> 01:35:19.520
It is called Now the End begins Bible Study. We've

1436
01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:21.680
listened to a good portion of it. We made through

1437
01:35:21.720 --> 01:35:23.920
a lot, right, we went through a lot, so there's

1438
01:35:23.960 --> 01:35:26.880
about half of it left if you can find if

1439
01:35:26.920 --> 01:35:28.920
you can fast forward and get to that first break,

1440
01:35:29.119 --> 01:35:31.760
then you know exactly where it is and then you

1441
01:35:31.800 --> 01:35:35.920
can listen to the rest, all right, So please go

1442
01:35:36.039 --> 01:35:39.119
download it. It doesn't appear anyone has downloaded it as

1443
01:35:39.119 --> 01:35:42.520
of yet, so please go download it. Okay, so or

1444
01:35:42.560 --> 01:35:47.279
the numbers aren't working today, so that's a possibility. But yeah,

1445
01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:50.079
I don't know if we'll do anymore with it. But yeah,

1446
01:35:50.119 --> 01:35:53.359
we spend a lot of time working on this, and

1447
01:35:53.399 --> 01:35:58.560
there you have it, the Restoration of Israel. Yeah, we

1448
01:35:58.600 --> 01:36:00.880
had two goals. The goals would first to just tell

1449
01:36:00.920 --> 01:36:02.560
you about it. Second goal was to do a little

1450
01:36:02.600 --> 01:36:05.840
bit of review. We didn't get too far, I would argue,

1451
01:36:05.880 --> 01:36:09.279
I disagree with his interpretation in Matthew twenty four. Matthew

1452
01:36:09.319 --> 01:36:14.720
twenty four is not about them being scattered at some

1453
01:36:14.880 --> 01:36:17.079
later time. He's saying Matthew twenty four that that section

1454
01:36:17.159 --> 01:36:19.760
has never happened. Matthew twenty four is referring to what

1455
01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:22.359
happened in seventy a d for the most part of

1456
01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:24.920
the chapter. And I'm not necessarily a fan of taking

1457
01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:27.680
that verse in the Book of Isaiah because it mentions

1458
01:36:27.720 --> 01:36:32.560
furnace and somehow connecting that to the Holocaust. So yeah,

1459
01:36:32.600 --> 01:36:34.479
I'm a little concerned there, and I'm not a big

1460
01:36:34.520 --> 01:36:36.199
fan of things that. Well, the only way God could

1461
01:36:36.199 --> 01:36:38.000
get him back in the land was the Holocaust. I'm

1462
01:36:38.039 --> 01:36:42.520
not a fan necessarily of that concept either. There was

1463
01:36:42.560 --> 01:36:44.560
a lot there that I wasn't necessarily prepared to hear.

1464
01:36:44.680 --> 01:36:54.520
But okay, there we have it. Thanks for listening. I

1465
01:36:54.520 --> 01:36:57.840
don't know what else to say. Everyone, have a great day.

1466
01:36:58.399 --> 01:37:00.760
I wish I had some like the right thing to

1467
01:37:00.840 --> 01:37:03.039
say here that we could like, Oh, we ended with

1468
01:37:03.079 --> 01:37:05.680
a very important point. We kind of ended with well

1469
01:37:06.319 --> 01:37:09.359
where is this going? Well, there you go. That goes

1470
01:37:09.359 --> 01:37:11.159
back to the first goal. Now you go listen to

1471
01:37:11.159 --> 01:37:12.279
the rest. All right, God bless
