# They're NOT Jews | Synagogue of Satan Series | Rich Tidwell Sermon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b96kJF8iWWU

[00:00] Today's controversial message is they're
[00:02] not Jews. Everybody say they're not
[00:05] Jews.
[00:06] >> They're not Jews.
[00:07] >> I see a lot of debating going on on the
[00:09] internet right now, especially on X. If
[00:11] you're active on there, that's where
[00:12] news breaks first. And you will find
[00:15] actually a lot of Christians arguing
[00:18] about the Jews in Jerusalem. And there's
[00:21] a fundamental flaw to this argument
[00:23] that's occurring. One group is trying to
[00:26] argue, hey, these Jews are bad. And
[00:28] another group is trying to argue, well,
[00:30] even though they're bad, they're still
[00:31] the Jews, and we have to bless them. But
[00:33] I want to present something to you
[00:35] today, and I hope that you'll share this
[00:36] sermon with your friends. And that is
[00:38] that they're not Jews. Jews are from the
[00:43] tribe of Judah, and you can also include
[00:45] the tribe of Benjamin. If you study it
[00:47] out, you will see that Jews means Judah.
[00:51] Okay? Jesus is the line of David, tribe
[00:53] of Judah. Therefore, Jesus is ethnically
[00:56] a Jew. But something occurred prior to
[01:01] the first century, and it was called the
[01:03] Makabian Revolution or revolt. Um, and
[01:07] you know this because you've been
[01:08] hearing my sermons, but if this is the
[01:10] first sermon you're hearing, there was a
[01:12] Makabian revolt. Uh, it's recorded in
[01:14] Josephus as well as other historians.
[01:17] It's very well known. And there was
[01:18] something called the Hasmonian dynasty
[01:21] that occurred as a result of the
[01:23] Makabian revolt. The Makabian revolt is
[01:25] why we have Hanukkah. It's because there
[01:27] was a miracle that occurred where uh the
[01:29] Lord kept the manora in the temple lit
[01:33] while they were making new holy oil and
[01:36] it was a miracle of God. Now um it's
[01:39] it's important to understand this part
[01:41] in history because the Hasmonians
[01:44] forcefully converted the The
[01:47] are the descendants of Esau.
[01:49] Esau married Canaanite women. The
[01:51] are well mixed with Canaanites.
[01:53] So that means that they are Canaanite
[01:55] bloodlooded even though the their
[01:58] patriarch was a Shemite uh in the line
[02:00] of Shem and and is the brother of Jacob.
[02:03] Uh Edom is Canaanite bloodooded. Okay.
[02:06] Arabic Canaanite bloodooded. Okay. All
[02:09] right. So as a result of the
[02:12] infiltrating Israel, they were
[02:14] forcefully converted. They wanted to
[02:16] possess Israel. And by the time of Jesus
[02:18] in the first century, King Herod is
[02:21] reigning in Jerusalem as the quote king
[02:24] of the Jews. Not really the king of the
[02:26] Jews, by the way. Jesus's cross said
[02:29] king of the Jews because Jesus was the
[02:31] actual king of the Jews, not Herod and
[02:33] not his descendants. But the Herodian
[02:35] dynasty were appointed by Rome
[02:39] to rule over Jerusalem.
[02:41] And I'm presenting to you today that
[02:44] they said in the first century
[02:47] Antigonist who was the last Hasmonian
[02:50] king. Antiggonist said that Herod was
[02:53] not a true Jew. He was a half Jew and an
[02:56] Idmian, an Edomite. So it's very
[02:59] important to understand that very
[03:02] simple, easy to explain part of
[03:05] Christian history that were
[03:07] reigning in Jerusalem during Jesus's
[03:08] first coming. And here's what I'm
[03:10] presenting to you today. That
[03:13] are ruling in Jerusalem at the second
[03:16] coming and that they are already in
[03:19] Jerusalem ruling now. And if that's
[03:22] true, it'll be evidenced by history and
[03:25] by scripture. And my hope is in this
[03:28] sermon that you and other Christians
[03:31] will come to understand that the people
[03:35] reigning in Jerusalem today are the same
[03:37] ones reigning during Jesus's first
[03:39] coming. They are the that say
[03:42] they are Jews and are not. But lie on X.
[03:45] No one no one is discussing who the
[03:49] synagogue of Satan is from Revelation
[03:51] chapter 2 and 3. No one's discussing who
[03:54] this group is. Now, you'll notice that
[03:57] we're not allowed to talk about
[03:58] ethnicities anymore. Have you noticed
[04:00] that you're not, especially if you're
[04:02] European, you're not allowed to talk
[04:04] about ethnicities. Do not talk. But the
[04:07] problem is Jesus talks about a group
[04:10] that claims to be Jews and are not Jews,
[04:14] but lie. Say
[04:16] >> they're
[04:17] >> not
[04:19] >> Jews. Jews.
[04:20] >> What's not clear about that? Go to
[04:22] Revelation 3:9.
[04:24] My hope is that more Christians will
[04:26] start to wake up to this. Behold, I will
[04:28] cause those of the synagogue of Satan,
[04:31] that's what this series is. This is the
[04:33] synagogue of Satan series. I will cause
[04:36] those of the synagogue of Satan who say
[04:39] that they are Jews and are not but lie.
[04:44] So literally the sermon title is based
[04:46] on the words of Jesus. They're not Jews.
[04:51] Jesus said this. Jesus is a Jew. Tribe
[04:54] of Judah, line of David, genuine
[04:56] Messiah, saying there's a group that
[04:59] isn't Jews. King Herod during Jesus's
[05:04] time is one of them. Which is why Jesus
[05:07] said, "Watch out for the leavenven of
[05:08] the Pharisees." And we're going to prove
[05:10] today that the Pharisees were
[05:11] infiltrated by the And watch
[05:13] out for the Herodians, the leavenven of
[05:15] Herod, the Herodians, because they're
[05:18] It's an infiltration. What
[05:21] happens to bread? What is levan? It's a
[05:23] bacteria that if you leave it on a
[05:25] window sill, levan will actually the
[05:27] bacteria will get into the bread and as
[05:29] a result it'll rise. Okay. So what it
[05:32] means is levan is an infiltration
[05:35] of a group. Josephus proves which we're
[05:38] going to read today. I don't want to get
[05:39] too far ahead of myself, but Josephus
[05:41] proves that Herod is a is an Edomite.
[05:44] Okay? The Pharisees were infiltrated.
[05:46] The Sadducees were infiltrated. And only
[05:49] the Essenes who gave us the Dead Sea
[05:52] Scrolls were strictly and purely tribe
[05:55] of Judah Jews. Isn't that interesting?
[05:58] So, Revelation 3:9, behold, I will cause
[06:01] those of the synagogue of Satan who say
[06:03] that they are Jews and are not, but lie.
[06:05] I will make them come and bow down at
[06:06] your feet and make them know that I have
[06:08] loved you. Now, they're going to hate
[06:09] that because are very arrogant.
[06:12] If you listen to Talmetic Judaism today,
[06:14] it's very arrogant, very prideful. uh
[06:17] they think Jesus is boiling an excrement
[06:20] in hell. That's very arrogant, very
[06:22] prideful. Okay, but here's the point I
[06:25] want to make for Christian Zionists that
[06:27] maybe you got sent this sermon by
[06:28] somebody who wants to help you
[06:30] understand. Okay, you must define who
[06:34] Revelation 3:9 is. Cuz I don't see any
[06:38] Christian Zionist talking about this
[06:39] passage at all. They're just talking
[06:42] about you got to support the Jews.
[06:44] They're God's chosen people. Ted Cruz
[06:46] went so far, Senator Cruz went so far as
[06:50] to say, listen, that if you say Christ
[06:53] is king, that's an anti-semitic
[06:55] statement now.
[06:57] >> Is that crazy? He said it.
[06:59] >> That's an anti-semitic statement. Now,
[07:02] how deceived do you have to be to say
[07:05] that a statement Christ is king is now
[07:08] anti-semitic?
[07:09] >> That is a man who has received millions
[07:12] of dollars from Apac and cannot be
[07:14] trusted. I'm actually thankful that the
[07:16] mask is off the Zionists. It's actually
[07:19] good, right? It's actually good to
[07:21] identify this synagogue that is serving
[07:24] the enemy.
[07:26] I don't see any Christian Zionist
[07:28] talking about this passage ever.
[07:30] If there's if the synagogue of Satan,
[07:32] here's my question. If they're some
[07:34] small, obscure, inconsequential group,
[07:38] why are they invoked by Jesus speaking
[07:41] to the end times churches?
[07:44] Are you listening? Why are they
[07:47] presented to us right at the beginning
[07:48] of the book of Revelation so that we get
[07:50] acquainted with them right away? He
[07:52] brings them up twice in the first few
[07:54] chapters
[07:56] and both times he says they say they're
[07:57] Jews and they're not. That they're
[07:59] actually a synagogue of Satan.
[08:02] Why are they invoked by Jesus repeatedly
[08:04] if they're just some small obscure
[08:06] group?
[08:08] So what I'm presenting to you today,
[08:10] friends, is that no, they're not a small
[08:12] obscure obscure group. They're actually
[08:14] read the New Testament. They're the
[08:16] Herodians. What does that mean? They're
[08:19] They're spirit of Herod,
[08:22] spirit of the Antichrist. What did Herod
[08:24] do when Jesus was born? Slaughtered the
[08:26] innocents. What did Jeffrey Epstein put
[08:29] up at the Zoro Ranch? a 9 by9 painting
[08:31] of King Herod's slaughter of the
[08:33] innocents.
[08:35] What do the Rothschilds who Epstein
[08:38] represents who have been involved in
[08:39] American politics from my understanding
[08:42] since the 1800s and that's why things
[08:44] started to get worse over time and then
[08:46] eventually they got really involved in
[08:48] the early 1900s and now we've got
[08:50] Federal Reserve and all these other
[08:52] things and there's a Zionist
[08:54] infiltration.
[08:56] We're totally occupied. Sorry guys, I
[08:58] hate to break it to you. America is a
[09:00] vassal state.
[09:01] It's a shock for me, too. It's
[09:03] disappointing. I turned 38 this week. It
[09:05] was my birthday this week. And I am
[09:07] disappointed to realize, oh my goodness,
[09:09] America is a vassal state and has been
[09:12] for some time. John F. Kennedy
[09:16] threatened Israel, the prime minister,
[09:18] and he said, "Hey, we're going to
[09:20] oversee your nuclear program or you're
[09:21] not going to have one." And he said,
[09:23] "You will seriously jeopardize," this is
[09:25] quote, "seriously jeopardize," and end
[09:27] quote, the relationship between the US
[09:28] and Israel if we don't oversee your
[09:30] nuclear program. He got shot a few
[09:32] months later
[09:34] publicly, ritualistically in front of
[09:36] everybody. We run your country. Charlie
[09:39] Kirk starts speaking out [clears throat]
[09:41] about Zionism,
[09:44] being negative about it, shot in the
[09:46] throat, publicly, ritualist,
[09:48] ritualistically in front of all of us.
[09:52] Well, I'm not thankful for their deaths,
[09:54] but I am thankful that it has caused so
[09:57] many to question what's going on.
[10:01] And you've got people stating that even
[10:03] our president has converted to Judaism.
[10:05] Very possible. I think that's very
[10:08] likely. He definitely has compromised
[10:10] based on our behaviors. Why are we
[10:13] attacking Iran?
[10:16] Israel wants to. That's a vassal state.
[10:19] When another king says, "Raise up your
[10:21] army and come fight this other king with
[10:23] me." Read it in the Bible. That's a
[10:25] vassel state. That's how history works.
[10:28] My question is, do you still want to be
[10:30] a vassal state? And if you don't, you're
[10:32] going to need to learn who the synagogue
[10:33] of Satan are so that you understand
[10:35] you're not dealing with the Jews of the
[10:36] Bible. Now, I do want to make this
[10:38] point. Jews still exist. Judah exists.
[10:40] I'm not diving into that deeply today
[10:42] there. But they don't return and rule
[10:44] Jerusalem. It's proven in scripture.
[10:45] They don't return and rule Jerusalem
[10:47] until the day of the Lord when Jesus
[10:50] returns. That's clear in Jeremiah.
[10:53] That's clear in Ezekiel and multiple
[10:55] other prophets. They don't come rule
[10:57] Jerusalem until Jesus comes.
[11:01] So just that ju if you just understood
[11:03] that much of Bible prophecy, you would
[11:06] know, oh, the group that's there right
[11:07] now isn't the Jews.
[11:10] Wow. Now, did Jews do bad things? Yeah.
[11:13] Paul was a Benjaminite, a genuine Jew,
[11:16] okay? And he persecuted Christians. We
[11:20] see that in the book of Acts. He held
[11:22] the coats while Steven was stoned to
[11:23] death. Okay? So, yes, like Jews do bad
[11:26] things. But I want to point this out as
[11:27] well. The folks calling themselves Jews
[11:30] but are not, if you'll notice,
[11:31] absolutely despise Jesus. Like a super
[11:34] small majority, I'm sorry, super small
[11:37] minority believe that Jesus is the
[11:39] Messiah. Very small minority. During
[11:41] Jesus's time, Jesus had multitudes of
[11:44] Jews following him. So, was there people
[11:47] against him? Yeah. But there was
[11:49] multitudes for him. What that indicates
[11:52] is that no, no, no, it's not supposed to
[11:54] be like a 98 99% anti-Christian
[11:58] perspective among the Jews. It's a it's
[12:00] a it's a a place of tension where
[12:03] they're split on it.
[12:05] But
[12:07] despise Jesus. King Herod is an Edomite,
[12:11] commits the slaughter of the innocents.
[12:13] We learned this last week. My sermon got
[12:15] censored, by the way, last week. So, if
[12:17] you're watching this and you're
[12:18] wondering, where did Rich's sermon go?
[12:20] It's called God Hates Esau, and I had to
[12:23] put it up on Rumble and I put a censored
[12:25] version on YouTube because in less than
[12:28] 24 hours, we had over we we hit 30,000
[12:30] views, over 2,000 likes. It was going to
[12:34] go viral because I've watched the
[12:35] algorithm and they cut it off. and they
[12:39] said, "Ah, it's hate speech."
[12:42] So, I put it on Rumble. It's available
[12:43] there. And hopefully this one doesn't
[12:45] get flagged as hate speech. We're
[12:47] speaking truth. There is a group that
[12:50] Jesus said, "Say they are Jews and are
[12:53] not but lie." They're the same group as
[12:56] during Herod's day. He's an Edomite.
[12:59] Judas was also an Edomite. We learned
[13:00] that in last week's sermon. If you
[13:02] didn't hear it, I'll give you a quick
[13:03] rundown. Judas Iscariat actually means
[13:06] isharth in the original language. That
[13:10] means of kerth.
[13:12] Now kth is southern Judah north Edom.
[13:17] Okay? So look on a map. I don't have one
[13:19] in front of me, but look on a map.
[13:20] You'll see where Judah's kingdom end and
[13:22] Edom's kingdom began. Kirth is southern
[13:25] Judah, north Edom. In the first century,
[13:28] the time of Jesus, it's overrun by
[13:30] Idmans, which are the
[13:33] Okay.
[13:34] Jesus picks 11 of his 12 disciples from
[13:38] Galilee, the area of Galilee, the
[13:41] province of Galilee. 11 of 12. Everybody
[13:43] say 11.
[13:45] >> And then he picks one very bizarrely
[13:48] from the deep south of Judah where a
[13:50] bunch of live.
[13:53] That one has Satan enter him. That one
[13:56] betrays him. That one is an Edomite.
[14:00] the synagogue of Satan who say they are
[14:02] Jews and are not but lie.
[14:05] I can prove to you today in today's
[14:07] sermon that Josephus also showed us that
[14:09] the Pharisees and the Sadducees not only
[14:11] did they get slaughtered by Herod and
[14:13] replaced but provably that there was one
[14:15] religious group the Essenes that was
[14:18] only Jews.
[14:20] Whereas even the Pharisees and Sadducees
[14:22] who make up the ruling Sanhedrin
[14:25] had been infiltrated by the levan of the
[14:28] Pharisees which is
[14:31] If that makes if that's interesting to
[14:32] you, say amen.
[14:33] >> Amen.
[14:34] >> Amen. Are you guys excited for the
[14:35] sermon today?
[14:36] >> All right. I'm so glad you guys are here
[14:38] in person and online. Thank you very
[14:40] much for being here. If you would make
[14:42] sure you like this video, share it with
[14:43] your friends so that they can learn
[14:44] about these truths as well. Subscribe to
[14:46] the channel and hit the bell icon if you
[14:48] haven't already. We're almost to 50,000
[14:50] subscribers, which is truly a miracle.
[14:52] Uh I've been preaching for years now,
[14:54] and all of a sudden, the Lord has opened
[14:56] the floodgates of being able to minister
[14:57] to multitudes. Very humbled and honored
[15:00] to be able to minister to you. It is the
[15:02] Holy Spirit. It is not me. Um I am just
[15:05] a vessel. I'm nobody. I'm made of dirt.
[15:07] I'm nothing but dust and ash. But I'm
[15:09] very thankful that you've subscribed and
[15:11] that you're here to hear the truth. And
[15:12] I pray that the Lord edifies you through

[15:16] has me preach in the future. Make sure
[15:18] you also go over to rumble.com, find me
[15:21] on there, Rich Tidwell, and follow me
[15:23] over there. Uh, because anytime we get
[15:26] censored on YouTube, I'm still going to
[15:27] be posting to Rumble. I also would like
[15:29] to start doing some live streams. So, if
[15:31] you could comment below a day of the
[15:34] week that works for you for live
[15:35] streams, and whatever the best day is
[15:37] for the largest amount of people, that's
[15:39] probably the day that we'll start doing
[15:40] a live stream. And I'd love to field
[15:43] questions during live streams because
[15:45] I've been getting so many in the
[15:46] comments. It'd be great to be able to
[15:48] get them live, answer them, and
[15:50] hopefully answer them for hundreds of
[15:52] people at a time. Okay. Uh and if you
[15:54] would like to give and support this
[15:56] ministry, you can text the word give to
[15:58] 3867537337.
[16:01] You should see it on the screen there.
[16:02] We are grateful for your onetime and
[16:04] monthly contributions. Everything helps.
[16:06] If you can sign up for monthly, that's a
[16:08] huge blessing because it helps us know
[16:10] what our monthly budget is. No matter
[16:13] what, we are grateful for your
[16:14] generosity and we pray that the Lord
[16:15] blesses you. Jesus said it is more
[16:17] blessed to give than to receive. All
[16:19] right, let's continue on with the
[16:20] message. Are you guys ready? If you are,
[16:22] say, "Amen. I'm ready."
[16:23] >> Amen.
[16:24] >> Okay, cool. I'm going to start with an
[16:26] email from Howard Lutnik to Epstein. Why
[16:30] am I starting there? Because I want to
[16:32] prove that these people are the
[16:33] synagogue of Satan. I think the Epstein
[16:35] release has helped us to see what these
[16:38] aren't God's chosen people. These people
[16:40] are serving Satan. Yeah, no kidding.
[16:42] Just like Judas, who did Satan enter in
[16:45] the gospel narrative? Judas. He didn't
[16:47] enter the other 11. He entered the
[16:49] Edomite. Are you hearing me? So, this is
[16:52] from December 19th, 2012. This is after
[16:56] Epstein [singing]
[16:57] is known and convicted as a pedophile.
[17:01] Now, if you don't know Howard Lutnik,
[17:04] he's in a lot of photos and videos with
[17:07] our president.
[17:09] Some say maybe he's a handler.
[17:12] Uh he's now set to make a ton of money
[17:16] off of the tariffs that were then ruled
[17:18] he bet against the tariffs and they were
[17:21] ruled un, you know, unlawful and now
[17:24] he's going to make money on all those
[17:26] tariff debts. This is it's crazy. Okay.
[17:31] Subject Sunday. It's from December 19th,
[17:33] 2012. You can find this in the Epstein
[17:34] file release. Hi, Jeff.
[17:37] Hey, buddy.
[17:40] I know it makes me sick. Hi, Jeff. We're
[17:43] landing in St. Thomas early Saturday
[17:45] afternoon and planning to head over to
[17:47] St. Barts
[17:49] Angulia on Monday at some point. Where
[17:52] Um, yeah. Where are you located? What is
[17:58] exact location for my captain? Does
[18:00] Sunday evening for dinner sound good? I
[18:02] have another couple, Michael and Marcy
[18:04] Lairman, with me on my boat. And each of
[18:07] us has four children. Two 16s, two 14s,
[18:11] a 13, a 12, an 11, and a seven-year-old.
[18:16] Thanks, Howard.
[18:20] >> Now, I have a lot of kids. I have nine
[18:23] children by the grace of God. Thank you,
[18:24] Lord. And I don't say all my kids' ages
[18:30] when I'm writing an email to someone
[18:33] >> that I'm coming over. I would just say,
[18:35] "Hey, I'm going to have a party of blank
[18:38] with me, right? I'm going to have my
[18:41] kids and we're coming over." Does that
[18:44] make sense?
[18:45] >> Yes.
[18:47] >> No names.
[18:49] No. Hey, me and my kids are coming over.
[18:51] just the names of the adults and then
[18:54] the ages of the kids and all of them
[18:58] being minors written to a pedophile.
[19:04] >> What's not clear about that?
[19:09] >> He's bringing minors, listing just their
[19:12] ages, no names.
[19:16] We're coming over to good old Epstein
[19:18] Island. Can I get the coordinates? We're
[19:20] going to have some fun. Six stuff,
[19:22] friends. That's why we need to know who
[19:23] these people are. They did this in the
[19:25] Wikileaks uh Podesta emails as well
[19:28] where they would list only ages. No
[19:30] names. No, I'll have my wife and kids
[19:32] with me, just ages.
[19:36] That that is not only suspect.
[19:41] That's behavior that we all know in our
[19:42] gut
[19:43] >> is something wrong.
[19:47] These people have to be exposed as being
[19:50] what they are because they're hiding
[19:53] behind something called stolen valor.
[19:55] You ever heard of stolen valor?
[19:57] >> Right? So Jesus, I already read it, who
[19:59] say they are Jews and are not but lie.
[20:01] Okay. So the Jews and the Israelites are
[20:03] highly regarded by Christians, right?
[20:05] And by the Bible itself and he who
[20:07] blesses Israel will himself be blessed
[20:09] and all of that. I you know it's it's
[20:11] this big deal. And so if you could
[20:14] convince everyone you're the Jews,
[20:18] that you're God's chosen and holy
[20:19] people, if you could steal that valor,
[20:22] if you were capable of it, it would
[20:24] serve you pretty well as a shield,
[20:25] wouldn't it? It would work pretty well.
[20:28] Roth's child means shield of Edom.
[20:37] >> They're shielding Edom by pretending to
[20:39] be Jews.
[20:42] If you put on a military uniform and you
[20:45] didn't serve in the military and you go
[20:47] in and you try and get some freebies at
[20:49] Starbucks or something, whatever,
[20:52] and you're trying to get, you know,
[20:54] veterans benefits by saying you're a
[20:56] veteran somewhere. Okay,
[21:00] that's called stolen valor. It's
[21:01] literally illegal. You can be prosecuted
[21:04] for it, arrested and prosecuted for
[21:07] acting like you are a soldier when
[21:09] you're not a soldier. It's called stolen
[21:11] valor. And any real soldier knows that
[21:13] that leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
[21:15] Well, I want you to trust our Lord Jesus
[21:18] that he says there's a whole big nation
[21:22] of people
[21:25] that say they are Jews and are not, but
[21:28] lie.
[21:30] And they have this book called the
[21:31] Talmud that says Jesus is burning in
[21:34] hell in excrement.
[21:36] I'm sorry. Herod slaughters innocents.
[21:39] Judas has Satan enter him. And then
[21:42] there's this Babylonian talmud created
[21:44] that's full of demonic stuff which I've
[21:47] read in previous sermons. I read quite a
[21:48] bit in Epstein and the Canaanites.
[21:53] Friends, we have all of the breadcrumbs
[21:56] and all of the truth bombs that we need
[21:58] in order to understand who this group
[21:59] is.
[22:02] Now, to understand modern Jews, you must
[22:04] understand the conversion of the
[22:05] As we mentioned earlier during
[22:07] the Hezmonian dynasty, King Herod, Judas
[22:10] the Scariot who is Ishkariat.
[22:12] But here's the point I want to make
[22:14] today. These people are prophesied to
[22:17] rule Jerusalem prior to the second
[22:19] advent in multiple places. Zechariah
[22:21] Obadiah and elsewhere.
[22:24] Now Tommy who is a famous uh second
[22:28] century scientist he writes on these
[22:31] people and his explanation of the
[22:34] difference between the true Jews of
[22:36] Judah versus the or the Idmians
[22:39] of Esau is profound and it's necessary.
[22:43] I' I've listened. So, Antigonist talks
[22:46] about it in Josephus, but I think that
[22:48] Tommy is probably the best quote for us
[22:51] to use because it just lays it out so
[22:53] clearly and he's a respected historian.
[22:56] And I'm convinced the Holy Spirit
[22:58] provided these records for us to
[23:00] understand Jesus's warning us of the
[23:03] synagogue of Satan who say that they are
[23:04] Jews and are not but lie. I believe
[23:06] that's why we have the biblical witness,
[23:08] which is the most important witness, but
[23:11] we have the historical witness as well.
[23:13] Everybody knows, especially Christian
[23:16] theologians, know that Josephus is a
[23:17] really important historian for Christian
[23:19] history. Very important. But why we've
[23:22] only paid attention to the fact that he
[23:24] records Jesus and we haven't paid
[23:26] attention to the fact that he records
[23:28] the
[23:30] and King Herod being one is bizarre to
[23:33] me.
[23:35] Now, I mentioned this in my last sermon.
[23:36] Chuck Mistler has a video from 14 years
[23:38] ago where he explains this very quickly,
[23:41] very academically. He's a good teacher.
[23:44] And yet, I don't hear really any pastors
[23:46] do that. That's kind of like the only
[23:47] one I could find where Chuck Mistler's
[23:50] like, "Well, I got to tell you about the
[23:51] Herodians." And he explained it and it
[23:53] made perfect sense. And I think that's
[23:54] why we're all so hungry is a lot of
[23:57] people seem to have understood this in
[23:58] those early centuries, but it's totally
[24:01] been lost to history today.
[24:03] >> And so, as a result, when John was
[24:05] writing Revelation and Jesus was
[24:07] speaking to John, I think people knew
[24:10] he's talking about the Today
[24:11] we don't know.
[24:13] Does that make sense?
[24:14] >> Yeah.
[24:16] >> So Tommy writes this quote, "The Jews
[24:19] are such by nature and from the
[24:21] beginning. Well, the Idmians,
[24:26] were not Jews from the beginning, but
[24:29] Phoenicians and Syrians, but being
[24:33] afterwards subdued by the Jews and
[24:36] compelled to be circumcised and to unite
[24:39] into one nation and to be subject to the
[24:42] same laws. They were called Jews.
[24:48] They were called Jews not because of
[24:51] their descent but in regard to their
[24:54] religion and manner of life. Hence it
[24:58] was that the kingdom of Herod and his
[25:01] posterity were called quote the kingdom
[25:04] of the procelites end quote by the
[25:07] Hebrews end quote. Now, you can find
[25:09] this tolamy quote in Ammonius's
[25:12] defferencia vocabularum
[25:15] number 243, section 243.
[25:18] Okay? And he's not the only historian,
[25:20] but I think that's one of my favorite
[25:21] quotes so far after really diving in on
[25:24] this because he says explicitly, they
[25:26] were called Jews, not because of their
[25:29] descent. Well, what do you call that?
[25:32] Not Jews. What did Jesus say again?
[25:34] Revelation 3:9, "Behold, I will cause
[25:36] those of the synagogue of Satan, who say
[25:38] that they are Jews and are not, but lie,
[25:40] I will make them come and bow down at
[25:42] your feet, and make them know that I
[25:44] have loved you."
[25:47] Make them know that I have loved you.
[25:50] Well, I know this group really would not
[25:52] like that to happen where Jesus makes
[25:54] them bow down at our feet and admit that
[25:56] he loved us and that they weren't truly
[25:59] the Jews. Oh, can you imagine that day?
[26:04] not going to like that day. This is
[26:06] confirmed by Antigonist, which I
[26:07] mentioned earlier, the last Tesonian
[26:08] king of Judea, who denigrated Herod as
[26:12] quote an Idian, a half-Jew end quote in
[26:15] Antiquities book 14, chapter 15. And he
[26:18] made the case that he was a man wholly
[26:20] unworthy. Holy as in wholy
[26:23] unworthy
[26:25] and unfit to rule Jerusalem
[26:29] and that it was the ignorant Romans who
[26:32] appointed Herod. Now of course we know
[26:34] that God has his hand in all things and
[26:36] God permitted that. I believe the first
[26:39] coming or the first advent is meant to
[26:42] be a prophetic foreshadowing of the same
[26:44] group that rules in Jerusalem at the
[26:47] second advent. If that makes sense, say
[26:50] amen. Amen.
[26:52] >> So to establish if we're for sure
[26:54] dealing with the in Jerusalem,
[26:57] we need to start with motive. Okay? If
[27:00] you're trying to determine who did
[27:02] something, who's at fault, like a murder
[27:05] or some kind of criminal case or
[27:07] somebody who's sneaking around doing
[27:10] something they shouldn't be or lying,
[27:12] you should try to establish motive.
[27:16] And if we can establish motive, then
[27:18] that helps to strengthen the argument
[27:20] that okay, maybe we should look more
[27:22] into this group because they'd have a
[27:25] motive for it. Does that make sense? So
[27:28] go to Ezekiel chapter 35 and we're going
[27:31] to establish motive.
[27:33] Ezekiel 35.
[27:35] And uh this is a you'll notice prophecy
[27:38] against Mount Seir. Now in prophecy
[27:41] you'll hear Esau, Edom, and
[27:44] Mount Seir. That's all the same group.
[27:46] So if God says he's going to judge Esau,
[27:48] he means the If he says Edom,
[27:50] he means Esau and the If he
[27:52] says Mount Seir, it means Esau and the
[27:54] Okay? So this this chapter is
[27:58] a prophecy against Mount Seir. Okay?
[28:00] Right? Verse two, son of man, set your
[28:02] face against Mount Seir and prophesy
[28:04] against it. All right? So um God says,
[28:08] I'm going to, you know, I'm going to
[28:09] destroy you. This is something he says
[28:11] also in um in Oadiah. And the primary
[28:17] reason is because well several things.
[28:20] It started with Esau selling his
[28:22] birthright but it continued on with the
[28:25] wanting to possess Israel. In
[28:27] other words, wanting to take back their
[28:28] birthight. And they see that when the
[28:31] Babylonians show up that it's a good
[28:33] opportunity to do just that. and they
[28:35] actually help Babylon
[28:38] and they end up helping to occupy Israel
[28:41] or Jerusalem after Babylon takes over.
[28:45] So God is indignant about this
[28:46] throughout scripture.
[28:48] And um verse 9, Ezekiel 35:9, we'll pick
[28:52] up from there says this, "I will make
[28:54] you an everlasting desolation and your
[28:55] cities will not be inhabited. Then you
[28:57] will know that I am the Lord." Verse 10,
[28:59] "Because you've said these two nations."
[29:01] So if you look at the full context, he's
[29:03] talking about Israel and Judah, which by
[29:06] that time had split into two. After
[29:08] Solomon, they split into two. The first
[29:10] group, the Israelites, 10 of the tribes
[29:12] got taken into captivity by Assyria. And
[29:14] then couple hundred years later, uh the
[29:17] Judah and Benjamin tribes get taken into
[29:19] captivity by Babylon. This is when the
[29:21] see their opportunity to take
[29:23] the lands that were actually Jacob's
[29:26] lands and steal back their birthright.
[29:28] Okay? So he says, "Because you've said
[29:30] these two nations and these two lands
[29:34] will be mine
[29:37] and we will possess them although the
[29:40] Lord was there."
[29:44] Are you tracking with me?
[29:47] God owns Jerusalem
[29:50] and gave it to Jacob. And even today
[29:53] it's Jacob's.
[29:55] Yet the desire to steal back
[29:59] their birthright and take the land. But
[30:02] God reminds them, I'm watching.
[30:06] I'm there. I'm watching.
[30:10] So, I see what's in your heart. I see
[30:12] your behaviors. I know you want to
[30:14] possess Jacob.
[30:16] And I'm here today preaching this
[30:18] because I believe they are possessing it
[30:20] right now and will. and they're going to
[30:22] help the antichrist come.
[30:25] And that God saw that and said, "I'm
[30:28] going to punish you as a result." Now,
[30:31] their sin is building up. It's building
[30:33] up. It's building up. Right? King Herod
[30:34] and Judas, they were helping build it
[30:36] up. And now, you know, in the last days
[30:38] bringing in the Antichrist, they're
[30:40] really building it up. So when God
[30:41] completely annihilates them as Oadiah
[30:44] says he will do,
[30:46] you'll know that it was perfectly
[30:48] justified
[30:49] because they just heaped [snorts] up
[30:51] sins for centuries. If that makes sense,
[30:54] say amen.
[30:55] >> Amen.
[30:56] >> Okay. Because you have said these two
[30:58] nations and these two lands will be mine
[31:00] and we will possess them although the
[31:01] Lord was there. Therefore, as I live,
[31:03] declares the Lord God, I will deal with
[31:05] you according to your anger and
[31:07] according to your envy, which you showed
[31:10] because of your hatred against them. So,
[31:12] I will make myself known among them when
[31:14] I judge you. All right? Stolen valor,
[31:17] stolen lands. That's what the Bible
[31:20] establishes regarding Edom. They pretend
[31:22] to be Jews and are not. And they like to
[31:24] take control of Jerusalem whenever they
[31:26] can.
[31:28] And God says, "I will judge you for
[31:30] this." Now go to Ezekiel 36 next
[31:33] chapter.
[31:35] We'll just scroll on down. And if you
[31:37] don't know, I am using a app. It's free
[31:40] called Literal Word. It's available for
[31:43] both iPhone and Android or iPad or what
[31:45] have you. And I love this because it's
[31:47] got four translations in it, but it also
[31:48] has the concordance and the lexicon
[31:50] built in. You hold down words and it
[31:52] pulls them up. If it's in the Old
[31:54] Testament, it's going to pull it up in
[31:55] Hebrew. If it's in the New Testament, it
[31:57] will pull it up in Greek. Really cool.
[31:59] Love it. Okay. All right. So, Ezekiel
[32:02] chapter 36:E5
[32:06] um says this, "Therefore, thus says the
[32:09] Lord God, surely in the fire of my
[32:11] jealousy, I have spoken against the rest
[32:12] of the nations and against all Edom who
[32:15] appropriated my land for themselves as a
[32:18] possession with wholehearted joy and
[32:21] with scorn of soul to drive it out for a
[32:24] prey.
[32:27] I am not making I So, you know how
[32:30] sometimes people just kind of come up
[32:32] with prophecies and then they try and
[32:33] just make stuff fit and and it doesn't
[32:35] really fit and but you can kind of
[32:37] delude yourself. Did I just read
[32:39] verbatim that Edom appropriates the
[32:43] lands of Israel and Judah?
[32:45] >> Yes,
[32:50] I'm not making it up. They did it at the
[32:52] time of Babylon. They did it at the time
[32:54] of Jesus and they're doing it at the
[32:56] second coming. Period. They have a
[32:59] history of doing it and they're doing it
[33:01] now. But the trick is they don't
[33:04] identify as or Idians anymore.
[33:06] Unless you know that Roth's child
[33:08] translated into Hebrew or converted to
[33:10] Hebrew and then translated to English is
[33:12] shield of Edom and that the color of
[33:14] Edom is red and all these things, you
[33:16] you're going to have a hard time
[33:18] discerning it. Which is why I think
[33:20] there's so many Christian Zionists
[33:22] because they've been thoroughly deceived
[33:24] by this group who say that they are Jews
[33:26] and are not but lie.
[33:28] Okay.
[33:31] So they want to possess the lands
[33:33] appropriated my land for themselves as a
[33:35] possession with wholehearted joy and
[33:37] with scorn of soul to drive it out for a
[33:39] prey. Therefore prophesy concerning the
[33:42] land of Israel and say to the mountains
[33:44] and to the hills, to the ravines and to
[33:45] the valleys, thus says the Lord God,
[33:48] behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and
[33:50] in my wrath because you have endured the
[33:52] insults of the nations. Therefore, thus
[33:55] says the Lord God, I have sworn that
[33:57] surely the nations which are around you
[33:59] will themselves endure their insults.
[34:02] Okay. And then verse eight, but you, oh
[34:05] mountains of Israel, you will put forth
[34:07] your branches and bear your fruit for my
[34:09] people Israel, for they will soon come.
[34:12] Now, why am I reading this? Because the
[34:15] point made in scripture is that the
[34:16] are in the land before Israel
[34:18] is, but they will soon come.
[34:22] See, what did God just say through
[34:23] Ezekiel? He said, "I am going,
[34:28] listen, to destroy you." Here's why.
[34:33] because you've appropriated the lands
[34:34] that are Israel's. And he says, "But
[34:37] Israel is going to come soon."
[34:40] In other words, they're going to possess
[34:42] this land, not you.
[34:47] I've grown up in the church. I've been a
[34:49] Christian you know for some time now
[34:52] going on 26 years quarter of a century
[34:56] and I cannot recall
[35:00] even in seminary being taught this part
[35:04] of scripture where Edom wants to and
[35:07] does possess Israel multiple times nor
[35:10] that they were forcefully converted by
[35:12] the Hasmonians and maybe we're worse off
[35:15] because we don't include the books of
[35:16] Mcabes in our Protestant Bible.
[35:19] And then worse off not knowing that
[35:21] Herod and Judas are
[35:26] And so as a result, we don't really
[35:28] understand that folks, this all comes
[35:30] down to, listen, Jacob and Esau,
[35:36] this this end times event here, this is
[35:39] a war between the twins.
[35:42] Jacob and Esau. Esau pretending now to
[35:44] be Jacob and steal his lands. and Jacob
[35:47] soon coming and taking back the land on
[35:51] the day of the Lord. If this is starting
[35:53] to make sense, say amen.
[35:55] >> Amen.
[35:55] >> This is wild stuff. Go to Psalm 83 verse
[35:58] 6.
[36:02] Psalm 83:6.
[36:05] Okay, so it says this, the tents of
[36:07] Edom, Edom's listed first, and the
[36:09] Ishelites, which uh they would work
[36:11] together because um Esau married two
[36:14] Canaanite women, but he also married
[36:15] Ishmael's daughter. So the and
[36:18] the Ishelites work together at times.
[36:20] Edom and the Ishelites, which who also
[36:22] is possessing Jerusalem? The Arabs. Who
[36:24] are the Arabs? Ishelites.
[36:26] Hello. Now, I think this is a good point
[36:29] to throw in there. If you believe on
[36:30] Jesus Christ, ethnicity is not a factor
[36:33] anymore. If you don't believe on Jesus
[36:35] Christ, you're still under the curse of
[36:37] the law and the various national ethnic
[36:38] curses. And it does matter. Okay, so I'm
[36:41] just throwing that in there real quick.
[36:43] All right. The tents of Edom and the
[36:44] Ishraelites, Moab and the Hagrites,
[36:46] Gibbal and Ammon and Amalecch, Felistia
[36:48] [snorts] with the inhabitants of Ty.
[36:50] Sierra also has joined with them. They
[36:52] have become a help to the children of
[36:53] Lotila. Deal with them as with Midian
[36:55] and as with Cisra and Jabin at the
[36:57] torrent of Kishon who were destroyed at
[36:59] Endor, who became as dung for the
[37:01] ground. make their nobles like Orb and
[37:03] Zeb and all their princes like Zeba and
[37:05] Salman who said, "Let us possess for
[37:07] ourselves the pastures of God."
[37:13] Edom and Ishmael,
[37:15] who are the ones controlling Jerusalem
[37:17] right now, the and the Arabs.
[37:21] Edom and Ishmael
[37:23] want to possess for themselves
[37:26] the pastures of God,
[37:29] but it is for Jacob and he will soon
[37:32] come.
[37:36] So in the first coming, Jesus's first
[37:39] advent, this is my argument, foreshadows
[37:41] his second advent in many ways. Herod
[37:45] Antipass, an Edomite, is a type of
[37:49] antichrist, and we'll read a little bit
[37:51] more about that. He's a type of
[37:54] antichrist who God will overthrow. Look
[37:57] at this. Go to 2 Thessalonians chapter
[37:59] 2:4.
[38:06] Okay, so this is talking about the
[38:07] return of Jesus. 2 Thessalonians chapter
[38:10] 2:es 3 and 4 says this, "Let no one in
[38:12] any way deceive you, for it," He's
[38:14] talking about the return of Jesus. The
[38:15] return of Jesus will not come unless the
[38:18] apostasy comes first. That's where
[38:20] people um fall away from Christ, commit
[38:23] apostasy. The apostasy comes first and
[38:25] the man of lawlessness is revealed, the
[38:27] son of destruction. In other words,
[38:29] these times will be so hard and so
[38:31] trying that people will apostate because
[38:33] they will take the mark because you
[38:34] can't buy or sell without the mark of
[38:36] the beast which who is heavily involved
[38:38] in commerce across the earth.
[38:41] Hello.
[38:43] Who heavily controls media and commerce
[38:45] and a number of other things?
[38:50] Can't even say what they're
[38:52] Okay. The man of lawlessness is
[38:53] revealed. The son of destruction. Verse
[38:55] four. who opposes and exalts himself
[38:57] above every so-called god or object of
[38:59] worship so that he takes a seat in the
[39:01] temple of God displaying himself as
[39:04] being God. Okay. So, one of the keys to
[39:08] the antichrist is that he's going to
[39:09] stand in the temple which is one of the
[39:11] reasons we know there will be a third
[39:12] temple. Ezekiel prophesies a third
[39:14] temple, gives the schematics for that
[39:16] temple. We know that the antichrist
[39:19] stands in that temple and people go,
[39:20] "No, no, no. We're talking about first
[39:21] century stuff here. We're talking about
[39:23] 70 AD." No. Jesus's prophecy in Matthew
[39:26] and in Luke, the Olivet discourse. That
[39:28] prophecy
[39:30] starts
[39:32] with the destruction of the temple.
[39:34] Starts
[39:36] with the destruction of the temple. If
[39:37] you read it that way, it will finally
[39:40] make sense. It starts with 70 AD, not
[39:45] one stone left on another.
[39:48] Then it progresses
[39:50] to the man of lawlessness
[39:53] much later after that
[39:55] and he then stands in the temple
[39:57] declares himself God. Okay. So Herod
[40:00] Antipass the Herodians represent this
[40:03] antichrist spirit and if you go to Acts
[40:05] chapter 12 you can see what happened to
[40:07] uh Antipass. Okay. Uh which by the way
[40:10] antipass or antipatter means
[40:12] anti-father.
[40:14] So the are anti-father.
[40:17] Anti-father God. Okay. Acts 12 21
[40:27] says this. On an appointed day, Herod,
[40:29] this is King Herod the Great's son,
[40:31] Herod, by the way. U this is the one who
[40:34] actually tried Jesus. So there's two
[40:35] Herods in the gospel narrative.
[40:38] >> All right. So Acts 12:21 21 on an
[40:40] appointed day Herod having put on his
[40:42] royal apparel took his seat on the
[40:44] rostrm and began delivering an address
[40:46] or an address to them. The people kept
[40:48] crying out the voice of a god and not of
[40:51] a man.
[40:54] This is like a foreshadowing. An Edomite
[40:57] standing on the throne declaring himself
[41:00] the voice of a god.
[41:04] Verse 23. And immediately an angel of
[41:06] the Lord struck him because he did not
[41:08] give God the glory and he was eaten by
[41:10] worms and died.
[41:13] There it is.
[41:15] That
[41:17] is a foreshadowing, a small one. People
[41:20] overlook it all the time of what's going
[41:22] to happen. reigning in
[41:24] Jerusalem, declaring themselves God,
[41:26] other people declaring them God. And the
[41:28] angel of the Lord will strike them down.
[41:31] How about that?
[41:33] How about that?
[41:37] Hallelujah. You're allowed to praise the
[41:39] Lord that he's going to win and defeat
[41:41] wickedness. That's good.
[41:44] >> Judas also needite is a type of
[41:47] apostate. So, if you remember, we just
[41:50] read in second uh 2 Thessalonians
[41:52] chapter 2:3 that there's a great
[41:54] apostasy before the antichrist.
[41:58] Well, Judas apostates.
[42:01] Satan enters him. He serves the
[42:03] synagogue of Satan as an Edomite. That
[42:06] represents the apostasy of the last
[42:07] days. Christians siding with
[42:12] >> Disciples siding with Are you
[42:14] seeing it?
[42:16] >> Don't expect everybody to get this.
[42:18] Unfortunately,
[42:21] as much as we would like to be able to
[42:22] just explain this to people and they go,
[42:24] "Oh, yeah." Now, once this starts to
[42:26] break out, like if Tucker Carlson talks
[42:29] about it and it starts to get more
[42:30] national that people understand,
[42:32] there'll be all kinds of arguments
[42:34] pushed back against it and that'll keep
[42:36] people asleep. No, no, no. These are the
[42:38] real Jews.
[42:40] Well, then explain who Revelation 3:9's
[42:42] talking about. We already have a
[42:45] precedent for the in the Bible
[42:47] over and over and over again. We know
[42:49] it's them.
[42:51] So Judas is an Edomite type of apostate
[42:54] represents the apostates in the last
[42:56] days siding with the who claim
[43:00] to be Jews and are not in order to
[43:02] resist
[43:04] Jesus and his church.
[43:06] The Pharisees and the Sadducees
[43:08] represent the church being infiltrated
[43:10] by hypocrites. The word hypocrite in
[43:13] Greek means pretender.
[43:16] Are you listening? When Jesus called the
[43:19] Sanhedrin hypocrites, he wasn't speaking
[43:22] figuratively.
[43:24] He meant they were literally
[43:27] actors.
[43:28] Do you realize Jesus would call the
[43:30] Pharisees hypocrites like all the time?
[43:33] And the word in Greek means pretender,
[43:37] actor,
[43:40] not really what you say you are. Wow.
[43:43] >> I know.
[43:45] [snorts] Jesus knew.
[43:49] >> There was debate among the Jews on
[43:51] whether the should actually
[43:52] even be called Jews. And Antiggonus, the
[43:54] last Judah height king, said no.
[43:59] >> That's why Herod was unworthy. No, it
[44:02] was Rome. Goofball.
[44:05] Western minds.
[44:07] secular deceived western minds propping
[44:11] up the
[44:13] Who is propping up the nation state of
[44:16] Israel today?
[44:19] >> It's not China. It's not Russia.
[44:23] >> Who is it?
[44:25] >> The West.
[44:28] Who who worked with Herod to crucify
[44:31] Jesus?
[44:33] The West. Pontius Pilate of Rome. You
[44:36] know what the scriptures say? It says
[44:37] after they crucified Jesus, it says they
[44:39] were good friends from that day forward.
[44:43] >> It says that
[44:46] I'm telling you they're still good
[44:47] friends today. The West and the
[44:49] the Herodians.
[44:52] >> Wow. Nothing new under the sun. Solomon
[44:56] told us
[44:58] what has been done will be done. If
[45:01] there was a problem between Jacob and
[45:02] Esau at the beginning, there's a problem
[45:04] between them today.
[45:06] Jacob have I loved. Esau have I hated.
[45:08] That's what God said.
[45:12] As we've discovered, Herod the Great
[45:13] slaughtered the original H Sanhedrin. We
[45:16] talked about this in previous sermons,
[45:17] replacing them with those who would
[45:19] later put Christ on trial. You can see
[45:20] that in in uh Antiquities book 14,
[45:23] chapter 9. Josephus confirms, this is
[45:26] the new part that I haven't read before.
[45:28] Josephus confirms both the Pharisees and
[45:30] Sadducees had been infiltrated while the
[45:33] Essenes who gave us the Dead Sea Scrolls
[45:35] were comprised of only ethnic Jews. Now
[45:39] the fact that Josephus would
[45:41] differentiate between them between them
[45:43] means that in the early centuries people
[45:45] understood there was a difference.
[45:48] We see this in Jewish war. This is
[45:50] another uh book of Josephus. Jewish War
[45:53] uh book 2 chapter 8 I think it's section
[45:56] 119 if I have it cited correctly here
[45:59] quote says this for there are three
[46:02] philosophical sects among the Jews the
[46:05] followers of the first of which are the
[46:07] Pharisees
[46:09] of the second the Sadducees
[46:12] and the third third sect which pretends
[46:15] to a severe discipline are called
[46:17] Essenes.
[46:19] These last are Jews by birth and seem to
[46:24] have a greater affection for each other
[46:26] than other sects have.
[46:30] Oh, no surprise. They're actually tribe
[46:34] of Judah.
[46:36] Very dedicated, okay, to what I believe
[46:39] was a more accurate version of Judaism.
[46:42] If you read the Essen's perspective on
[46:44] things, they're still actually very
[46:47] scriptural rather than talmudic.
[46:50] They're also, as Josephus reveals,
[46:54] actually Jews.
[46:57] And by stating this, these last are Jews
[46:59] by birth. He's saying that the Pharisees
[47:01] and the Sadducees were not all Jews by
[47:03] birth. And we know that because the
[47:06] Sanhedrin had been replaced. Jesus's
[47:09] primary contention was not with Rome in
[47:12] the Gospels. Do you realize this?
[47:15] Roman centurion says he has greater
[47:17] faith than everybody else. Meets a
[47:18] Canaanite woman, barely speaks to her.
[47:23] Are you hearing me? Samaritans, not his
[47:25] problem. Totally nice to the woman at
[47:27] the well.
[47:30] calls Herod calls the Canaanite
[47:33] woman a dog. Calls Herod a fox. Both Ka
[47:35] both canines.
[47:41] You guys are dogs.
[47:45] Did you know this about Jesus? I don't
[47:47] think a lot of people know this. I think
[47:48] they've been shocked in these sermons
[47:50] that this is how Jesus talked. Now, I am
[47:53] not of the mind that these people can't
[47:56] be saved. I believe they can be saved. I
[47:58] believe that you see that in the Old
[48:00] Testament. Uriah the Hitittite is a very
[48:03] famous example of a Hittite who believed
[48:05] on the Messiah and therefore became part
[48:08] of Israel and he was a Canaanite. I I I
[48:10] believe that anybody can put their faith
[48:13] in Jesus and be saved. Even the
[48:14] Canaanite woman in the Gospels ended up
[48:16] having her daughter healed because she
[48:17] had faith so much faith. But I also
[48:20] believe that ethnic curses are real and
[48:22] they stay attached to ethnicities unless
[48:26] they believe on Jesus Christ.
[48:29] Because it says in Galatians
[48:33] that Jesus bore the curse of the law on
[48:35] our behalf and that we're redeemed from
[48:37] the curse of the law through Jesus. And
[48:39] without Jesus, we're not redeemed from
[48:41] curses.
[48:43] >> Are you understanding what I'm saying?
[48:45] >> Yes.
[48:48] >> So there's three sects. The Pharisees,
[48:51] the Sadducees, and the Essenes. And the
[48:53] Essenes are the only ones during the
[48:54] time of Jesus. who, by the way, do you
[48:57] see any run-ins between Jesus and the
[48:59] Essenes in the New Testament? And yet,
[49:03] they're so important they gave us the
[49:06] manuscripts we have today. The Dead Sea
[49:08] Scrolls are critical to us confirming
[49:12] the texts that we have in our Bible
[49:13] today. And it was the Essenes that did
[49:15] that for us, not the Pharisees and
[49:17] Sadducees.
[49:19] Jesus has zero run-ins with the Essenes.
[49:22] lots of run-ins with Pharisees and
[49:24] Sadducees. Isn't that interesting? Is it
[49:27] possible that Paul,
[49:30] who was a Benjaminite and a Pharisee,
[49:33] had been infected
[49:36] by the levan of these That's
[49:38] why he was against Jesus until he
[49:41] encountered his own Messiah and
[49:43] realized, "What have I been doing?
[49:46] I listen to the synagogue of Satan.
[49:49] I listen to Herod and Judas.
[49:52] I listen to
[49:54] instead of to Jesus and he woke up
[49:59] and he started serving as Lord.
[50:02] Listen, when the Pharisees replied in
[50:04] John 8:33, let's look at this together.
[50:06] This is wild. So John 8 is known as this
[50:09] big battle between Jesus and the
[50:11] Pharisees. A lot is said here, okay? And
[50:13] this is one that I've read several times
[50:15] in this series where Jesus says to these
[50:18] Pharisees, "If God were your father,
[50:21] you'd love me." In other words, if you
[50:23] don't love Jesus, God isn't your father.
[50:25] Yahwa is not your father. Uh this point
[50:27] is made in 1 John 2:es 22 and 23 as
[50:30] well, right? If anybody rejects the son,
[50:33] they don't have the father. Okay? So
[50:35] Jesus makes that point here in John 8.
[50:37] But there's something that people
[50:38] overlook here. The Pharisees answer
[50:41] Jesus this in verse 33. They answered
[50:43] him, "We are Abraham's descendants and
[50:45] have never yet been enslaved to anyone.
[50:47] How is it that you say you'll become
[50:49] free?" Number one, Abraham's
[50:50] descendants. They didn't say Jacob's,
[50:53] which Ishelites are technically
[50:54] Abraham's descendants, right? And Esau
[50:57] is an Abrahamic descendant.
[51:00] Hello. So, the are part of the
[51:03] Pharisees. We know that because of
[51:04] Josephus. And they say they're Abraham's
[51:06] descendants. But then they say a very
[51:07] key phrase. They said, "We are Abraham's
[51:09] descendants and have never been enslaved
[51:13] to anyone." Let me switch to the ESV.
[51:15] Never been enslaved to anyone. Never
[51:18] been enslaved to anyone.
[51:22] I'm sorry, friends. What happened to the
[51:24] Israelites in Egypt? They were enslaved.
[51:30] And it's like the most important part of
[51:33] the Jewish story up until the Messiah.
[51:37] And they said, "We've never been
[51:39] enslaved to anyone.
[51:43] These aren't Jews.
[51:47] These are Edomites."
[51:51] Jews had been enslaved in Egypt. They
[51:53] even said they were slaves in Egypt. And
[51:55] this group is saying, "We're Abraham's
[51:56] descendants, but we've never been
[51:58] slaves."
[52:00] Oh, are you guys seeing it? They
[52:03] revealed to us that they're Esau's
[52:05] descendants, not Jacob's, as they were
[52:08] never slaves in Egypt. Pay attention to
[52:11] the scriptures. The Israelites and the
[52:13] Jews always are remembering and
[52:15] reminding one another that they were
[52:16] slaves in Egypt. And this group says,
[52:18] "We were never slaves to anyone."
[52:21] Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Go to Mark 3:6.
[52:30] I hope you guys are receiving. I hope
[52:31] this is really clicking. Mark 3:6. The
[52:34] Pharisees went out and immediately held
[52:36] counsel with the Herodians against him
[52:39] how to destroy him. Who's working
[52:42] together here? Mark 3:6. The Pharisees
[52:45] went out and immediately began
[52:46] conspiring with the Herodians against
[52:49] him as to how they might destroy him.
[52:52] Jesus withdrew to the sea with his
[52:54] disciples, and a great multitude from
[52:56] Galilee followed, and also from Judea,
[52:59] and from Jerusalem.
[53:01] and from Idmia and beyond the Jordan and
[53:04] the vicinity of Ty and citided a great
[53:06] number of people heard of all that he
[53:08] was doing and came to him. Here's my
[53:09] point. The absolute rejection of Jesus
[53:12] by the statistically is bizarre
[53:15] because in the Bible it wasn't as big of
[53:18] a rejection as it is today. Which is
[53:20] another indicator that they are
[53:23] We were never slaves in Egypt. They're
[53:26] that group.
[53:28] And who worked together? The Pharisees
[53:30] and who? What's it say in verse six? The
[53:32] Pharisees went out and immediately began
[53:33] conspiring with the Herodians. The
[53:36] Herodians. The Pharisees and the
[53:38] Herodians. Why? Because the Herodians
[53:39] are who appointed many of the
[53:41] Pharisees.
[53:44] And Josephus confirms it. Only the
[53:46] Essenes were Jews only. Wow.
[53:51] Who does Judas work with? Pharisees. Uh,
[53:54] and uh, Herod and Satan. Look at Luke
[53:58] 22:3.
[54:00] I mentioned this a few times, but it's
[54:02] good to see it so you understand.
[54:04] There's only one guy that Satan enters.
[54:06] Verse three. And Satan entered into
[54:08] Judas, who is called Iscariat or
[54:10] Ishkarth of Kerth, belonging to the
[54:12] number of the 12. Satan entered into the
[54:15] Edomite who belonged to the 12.
[54:19] I hope you're seeing it that this is the
[54:21] group who say that they are Jews and are
[54:22] not but lie in Revelation 3:9.
[54:27] But here's the mindboggling part.
[54:28] Revelation 3:9 is talking about the end
[54:31] times
[54:33] when Jesus is to return.
[54:38] We're dealing with latter days
[54:43] when we're talking about the synagogue
[54:45] of Satan.
[54:47] And I am convinced not only by that
[54:50] verse that the same causing
[54:52] trouble at the first coming are causing
[54:55] trouble at the second coming.
[54:59] The prophets confirm this is true. Let
[55:02] me ask you this question. Does Edom
[55:04] occupy Israel prior to the return of
[55:06] Jesus as they did during the first
[55:08] advent? Does scripture teach that? Well,
[55:11] we know in Ezekiel 35 that they desire
[55:13] to possess the land. We saw that. And
[55:16] that they have possessed it at various
[55:17] times. We've seen it during the time of
[55:19] Babylon, during the time of Jesus. And
[55:21] I'm submitting to you today also during
[55:23] the second coming or prior to it and
[55:25] during
[55:27] Okay. Now, Gentiles, which includes
[55:30] because Gentiles is anybody
[55:32] who's not of Israel, okay, ethnically of
[55:36] Israel, Gentiles, which includes
[55:38] are said that they will
[55:40] control
[55:42] Jerusalem prior to Jesus's return. Go to
[55:45] Luke 21:4.
[55:47] This is very clear. We're already in the
[55:49] Gospel of Luke. Go to 21 verse 24.
[55:54] Jesus's uh this is one of Jesus's last
[55:57] days prophecies says this and they will
[56:00] fall by the edge of the sword and will
[56:01] be led captive into all the nations and
[56:03] Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by
[56:06] the Gentiles until the times of the
[56:08] Gentiles are fulfilled. Now this can
[56:11] mean literally anybody
[56:14] except Israel.
[56:16] But it actually strengthens my point for
[56:18] two reasons. One, Israel isn't ruling in
[56:22] Israel until Jesus returns. And two,
[56:26] are not Israel, so they would
[56:29] be Gentiles.
[56:34] Hello. So whether it's been Rome ruling
[56:36] it or Israelites ruling it or
[56:39] ruling it, it's still all Gentiles
[56:41] ruling it all this time. It's not
[56:44] Israel. 1963 was not Israel returning to
[56:48] its homeland.
[56:50] Case in point,
[56:52] ask a modern Jew, who is actually an
[56:54] Edidomite, to trace for you back to the
[56:58] tribe of Judah so they can prove that
[57:00] they're Jews, aka from the tribe of
[57:03] Judah. Ask them for ancestral records
[57:06] all the way back to the first century,
[57:08] second temple period.
[57:13] Interestingly, the DNA studies that
[57:16] we've been talking about each week show
[57:17] that they are Canaanite blooded.
[57:21] And also, modern rabbis prevent anyone
[57:24] from doing DNA tests on grave sites from
[57:26] the first and second temple, period.
[57:31] Because we're going to find different
[57:33] genes in those remains.
[57:36] So, they go, "Oh, no. Religious reasons.
[57:38] You can't you can't take extractions
[57:41] from first and second temple period
[57:42] graves.
[57:45] Wow.
[57:47] The Antichrist in the biblical narrative
[57:49] very clearly controls Jerusalem prior to
[57:52] Jesus's return. So why we don't
[57:54] understand that a hostile group is
[57:56] controlling Jerusalem in advance of
[57:58] Jesus's return makes no sense because
[58:01] it's fundamental to the return of Jesus.
[58:04] Let's read it again. And I know we read
[58:05] it already, but 2 Thessalonians 2
[58:10] again,
[58:12] verse one. Now we request you, brethren,
[58:14] with regard to the coming of our Lord
[58:16] Jesus Christ in our gathering together
[58:18] to him, that you not be quickly shaken
[58:20] from your composure or be disturbed
[58:22] either by a spirit or a message or a
[58:24] letter as if from us to the effect that
[58:27] the day of the Lord has come, which it
[58:29] hasn't come yet. Verse three, let no one
[58:31] in any way deceive you, for it will not
[58:33] come unless the apostasy comes first. So
[58:36] there has to be a great falling away. Uh
[58:38] and the man of lawlessness is revealed,
[58:40] the son of destruction. So the man of
[58:41] lawlessness has to be revealed. And he
[58:43] has to do everything Daniel and
[58:44] Revelation and the other prophets say he
[58:46] has to do, which includes declaring
[58:48] himself God, creating a mark where
[58:49] nobody can buy or sell on the whole
[58:51] earth. There's a lot of things that have
[58:52] to happen. Verse four, who opposes and
[58:55] exalts himself above every so-called god
[58:57] or object of worship. So that he takes
[58:59] his seat in the temple of God,
[59:00] displaying himself as being God. If that
[59:03] happened in 70 AD, we're way more than
[59:05] 1,000 years after that. We are not in
[59:08] the little season of Satan because the
[59:10] little season now would have been
[59:11] centuries long. And we're not
[59:14] surrounding Jerusalem to attack the
[59:16] Messiah reigning, which is the whole
[59:19] point of Satan's little season in
[59:20] Revelation. The armies surround
[59:23] Jerusalem because they're sick and tired
[59:25] of the Antichrist. That's literally what
[59:27] happens in Daniel. They surround it.
[59:30] They go to attack him. They don't
[59:31] succeed. Jesus actually returns. But the
[59:33] point is,
[59:35] uh, that's the Antichrist time. But the
[59:37] point is during the synagogue of Satan
[59:38] time, uh, where Satan is loosed, the
[59:41] armies come and surround while Jesus is
[59:43] reigning.
[59:45] Similar to what happened to the
[59:46] Antichrist, Jesus is raiding. Armies
[59:48] surround and they come to attack and
[59:52] kill Jesus.
[59:54] Friends, no one is assembling an army to
[59:57] attack Jesus reigning in the third
[59:58] temple. We are not in Satan's little
[01:00:01] season. We are in Matthew 24, which is a
[01:00:06] long period of time. If you study the
[01:00:08] sex millennial tradition, which I have
[01:00:10] sermons on it, I have an academic paper
[01:00:13] on my website. If you go under
[01:00:14] resources, uh it's also available on
[01:00:16] academia.edu.
[01:00:18] We're in this long period of time
[01:00:20] between Jesus's first coming and second
[01:00:22] coming. It's 2,300 years. And during
[01:00:24] that time was going to be the
[01:00:26] destruction of the temple that commenced
[01:00:28] all these prophecies. And we're getting
[01:00:29] closer and closer to the man of
[01:00:31] lawlessness who will declare himself God
[01:00:33] in the temple. I hope this is making
[01:00:35] sense.
[01:00:37] Daniel chapter 9 26 makes this same
[01:00:39] case.
[01:00:41] Daniel 9.
[01:00:43] Thanks for staying with me. We're going
[01:00:45] to start to wind it down. Daniel chapter
[01:00:47] 9 26. Then after the 62 weeks, the
[01:00:49] Messiah will be cut off and have
[01:00:51] nothing. That's the death of Jesus.
[01:00:53] Okay? And the people of the prince who
[01:00:54] is to come, the people of the prince who
[01:00:56] is to come. That means that the
[01:00:58] antichrist spirit was operating in
[01:01:01] Jerusalem. But the prince, the man of
[01:01:03] lawlessness hadn't come yet. The people
[01:01:06] of the prince who is to come will
[01:01:08] destroy the city in the sanctuary. Not
[01:01:10] the prince himself. The people of the
[01:01:12] prince. The people serving the
[01:01:14] antichrist started serving him in the
[01:01:17] time of Jesus.
[01:01:20] They'll come and destroy the city and
[01:01:21] the sanctuary and its end will come with
[01:01:23] a flood even to the end. There will be
[01:01:24] war. Desolations are determined. So
[01:01:26] after the destruction of the sanctuary,
[01:01:28] there is wars and desolations
[01:01:32] just like Jesus said. Verse 27, and he
[01:01:36] now we're dealing with the man of
[01:01:38] lawlessness. And he will make a firm
[01:01:40] covenant with the many for one week.
[01:01:42] That's a seven-year covenant. Okay?
[01:01:45] Seven-year covenant. But in the middle
[01:01:46] of the week, he will put a stop to
[01:01:48] sacrifice. That's three and a half
[01:01:50] years. He stops sacrifice and grain
[01:01:53] offering. And on the wing of
[01:01:54] abominations will come one who makes
[01:01:56] desolate even until complete
[01:01:58] destruction. One that is decreed is
[01:02:00] poured out on the one who makes
[01:02:02] desolate. So then a destruction comes
[01:02:04] upon him after that seven years. Three
[01:02:07] and a half of those years are like the
[01:02:10] great tribulation. It's all difficult,
[01:02:11] but there's a great tribulation for
[01:02:13] three and a half years. Okay? And I want
[01:02:16] you to read Matthew 24 because so many
[01:02:18] people are so deceived. They're like,
[01:02:19] "Oh, we're going to get we're going to
[01:02:20] get put out. Uh we're going to get taken
[01:02:22] out of here. We're going to get
[01:02:23] raptured. You know, everything's going
[01:02:25] to be fine." There's many different ways
[01:02:27] to teach this to you so that you can
[01:02:30] see. But I just I let's just make this
[01:02:33] make sense, okay? I want you to
[01:02:35] understand the word after means
[01:02:36] something that comes after. Okay? What
[01:02:39] does that mean? It means that an event
[01:02:41] occurs and then an event occurs
[01:02:44] immediately after it.
[01:02:47] Okay? So in a sequence of events, it's
[01:02:50] the next event. But immediately after
[01:02:53] the tribulation of those days, the sun
[01:02:55] will be darkened and the moon will not
[01:02:57] give its light and the stars will fall
[01:02:58] from the sky and the powers of the
[01:03:00] heavens will be shaken. And then the
[01:03:02] sign of the son of man will appear in
[01:03:03] the sky. And then all the tribes of the
[01:03:05] earth will mourn and they will see the
[01:03:06] son of man coming on the clouds of the
[01:03:08] sky with power and great glory. And he
[01:03:10] will send forth his angels with a great
[01:03:12] trumpet. And they will gather together
[01:03:13] his elect from the four winds from one
[01:03:16] end of the sky to the other. Jesus
[01:03:19] catches us catches us up into the sky.
[01:03:23] A rapture
[01:03:25] after the tribulation.
[01:03:28] That's why Revelation talks about
[01:03:30] holding fast to your faith, not fearing
[01:03:33] death. Don't worry about being beheaded.
[01:03:35] Don't take the mark because we're here
[01:03:38] [snorts]
[01:03:39] for it. And no amount of Left Behind
[01:03:41] movies is going to change that reality.
[01:03:45] After the tribul. Just say it with me.
[01:03:48] After
[01:03:50] >> the tribulation.
[01:03:53] >> They're not Jews.
[01:03:55] Rapture is after the tribulation. I hope
[01:03:58] this is making sense. Go to Daniel 11.
[01:04:04] Daniel 11 verse 31.
[01:04:07] This is talking about the antichrist as
[01:04:09] well. Forces from him will arise,
[01:04:11] desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do
[01:04:13] away with the regular sacrifice and they
[01:04:15] will set up the abomination of
[01:04:16] desolation. Okay, this is when he
[01:04:17] declares himself God. This is that three
[01:04:19] and a half year timeline. Verse 32. by
[01:04:21] smooth words he will turn to
[01:04:22] godlessness. Those who act wickedly
[01:04:24] toward the covenant. Uh but the people
[01:04:26] who know their God will display strength
[01:04:28] and take action. So there will be people
[01:04:30] resisting him. And those lines are being
[01:04:32] drawn even today. Friend, if you gave
[01:04:34] into COVID, you are not prepared for
[01:04:36] this. And so I I'm not saying this
[01:04:38] insultingly, but ask the Lord to help
[01:04:40] you to be more discerning. I didn't
[01:04:42] close my church during COVID. I did not
[01:04:45] take vaccines. Why? Because the Bible
[01:04:47] teaches pharmarmacia is witchcraft. I
[01:04:50] did not stop my regular everyday life. I
[01:04:53] did not comply. I'm not rebellious, but
[01:04:56] because I'm faithful to God. And you're
[01:04:59] going to need to be faithful to God by
[01:05:01] his grace during these last days or you
[01:05:05] will take the mark of the beast because
[01:05:08] without it, you can't go to Target. You
[01:05:11] can't go to Walmart. You can't use
[01:05:13] Amazon. You can't buy or sell.
[01:05:18] Are you ready to camp in the woods?
[01:05:20] That's really what it comes down to. Are
[01:05:22] you ready to die or go camping? Because
[01:05:24] if you don't like either of those
[01:05:26] things, you're probably going to take
[01:05:27] the mark.
[01:05:29] Please ask God for the strength to
[01:05:33] resist the antichrist in the last days.
[01:05:38] It will be the most diffic Jesus said
[01:05:40] it'll be unlike any other time in
[01:05:42] history. The difficulty
[01:05:45] can't even be fathomemed.
[01:05:51] But the people who know their God will
[01:05:52] display strength and take action. Verse
[01:05:54] 33, Daniel 11:33. Those who have insight
[01:05:57] among the people will give understanding
[01:05:58] to the many, which is what's happening
[01:06:00] right now is there are people who have
[01:06:02] understanding of these things that God
[01:06:04] is granting by the Holy Spirit to give
[01:06:06] that understanding to many others to
[01:06:09] help them be prepared.
[01:06:12] Yet they will fall by the sword and by
[01:06:13] flame, by captivity, and by plunder for
[01:06:15] many days. Charlie Kirk is hardly the
[01:06:17] first or last that will fall by the
[01:06:19] sword for proclaiming various truths.
[01:06:22] Verse 34, especially the truth about
[01:06:24] these Notice what Charlie was
[01:06:26] talking about right before he gets
[01:06:27] killed. The
[01:06:31] who say they are Jews and are not but
[01:06:32] lie. Verse 34. Now when they fall, they
[01:06:35] will be granted a little help and many
[01:06:36] will join with them in hypocrisy. In
[01:06:38] other words, people will kind of help
[01:06:40] you if you're a prophet in those last
[01:06:43] days, but it's so difficult that once it
[01:06:45] gets hard enough, they they'll abandon
[01:06:47] you. Verse 35, some of those who have
[01:06:50] insight will fall in order to refine,
[01:06:52] purge, and make them pure until the end
[01:06:55] time because it's still to come at the
[01:06:57] appointed time. Now, this is about the
[01:07:01] antichrist. Okay? So, that's about the
[01:07:02] people of God. Look at this verse 36.
[01:07:04] Then the king will do as he pleases and
[01:07:06] he will exalt and magnify himself above
[01:07:08] every god and will speak monstrous
[01:07:10] things against the god of gods. That's
[01:07:12] Jehovah. And he will prosper until the
[01:07:15] indignation is finished for that which
[01:07:18] is decreed will be done. He will
[01:07:19] prosper. He will succeed in these
[01:07:21] things. That's what's wild about these
[01:07:23] last days. God allows it so that the
[01:07:25] judgment is fitting for what happens at
[01:07:28] the end. Verse 37. He will show no
[01:07:30] regard for the gods of his fathers or
[01:07:33] for the desire of women
[01:07:37] or for the desire of women. I'm just
[01:07:39] going to throw this in there.
[01:07:42] The last time Israel did a study, an
[01:07:45] Israeli study in 2016 on sexual
[01:07:48] orientation,
[01:07:50] 8.2% of men and 4.8% 8% of women
[01:07:53] self-identified as gay or bisexual
[01:07:58] between the ages of 18 and 44 years old.
[01:08:01] That was in 2016, but there haven't been
[01:08:03] really any studies since then to my
[01:08:05] knowledge.
[01:08:07] And that was higher than every other
[01:08:09] country.
[01:08:12] So the antichrist will not desire women.
[01:08:16] He is a homosexual. That's one of the
[01:08:18] signs. Ain't that interesting? He will
[01:08:22] show no regard for the gods of his
[01:08:23] fathers or for the desire of women. Nor
[01:08:26] will he show regard for any other god.
[01:08:28] For he will magnify himself above them
[01:08:30] all.
[01:08:32] But instead, he will honor a god of
[01:08:34] fortresses, a god whom his fathers did
[01:08:36] not know. He will honor him with gold,
[01:08:37] silver, costly stones, and treasures.
[01:08:44] Is that wild?
[01:08:46] Tel Aviv is known as being the most
[01:08:48] homosexual city and friendly homosexual
[01:08:51] city in the entire Middle East.
[01:08:56] Matthew 24:15, Jesus talks exactly about
[01:08:59] this. This is why you need to get to
[01:09:02] know uh Daniel's rendition of things. So
[01:09:05] reading Daniel will help you understand
[01:09:06] Jesus's words and John's words in
[01:09:08] Revelation. You got to read Daniel.
[01:09:11] Okay. Matthew 24:15. Therefore, when you
[01:09:13] see the abomination of desolation, which
[01:09:15] was spoken of through Daniel the prophet
[01:09:17] standing in the holy place, let the
[01:09:20] reader understand, then those who are in
[01:09:21] Judea must flee to the mountains.
[01:09:23] Talking about believers in Judea, by the
[01:09:25] way, the aren't going to flee.
[01:09:27] They're going to celebrate the
[01:09:28] Antichrist showing up. If you're a
[01:09:30] Christian
[01:09:31] in Israel,
[01:09:33] you got to flee.
[01:09:37] So, as we wrap this up, thank you so
[01:09:39] much for staying with me, both online
[01:09:40] and in person. We're going to wrap this
[01:09:42] up. What are the prophecies that
[01:09:44] indicate Jerusalem is occupied by
[01:09:45] in the last days? I'll give you
[01:09:48] these, okay? Two very clear ones, right?
[01:09:51] Let every matter be established by two
[01:09:52] or three witnesses. We've established,
[01:09:54] well established this proof, but I'm
[01:09:56] going to give you two to really wrap
[01:09:58] this up. Go to Oadiah. Oadiah is all
[01:10:00] about
[01:10:03] uh Edom being judged in the last days.
[01:10:08] In the last days. Look, we know this is
[01:10:11] the last days prophecy because it says
[01:10:12] in verse 15, "For the day of the Lord
[01:10:14] draws near on all the nations. As you
[01:10:16] have done, it will be done to you. Your
[01:10:17] dealings will return on your own head."
[01:10:19] So, you understand this is
[01:10:23] um
[01:10:25] this is a prophecy of the last days
[01:10:27] where Edom is literally in Mount Zion.
[01:10:31] Look verse 17. But on Mount Zion, which
[01:10:34] is Jerusalem, there will be those who
[01:10:36] escape, and it will be holy, and the
[01:10:37] house of Jacob will possess their
[01:10:39] possessions. In other words, they don't
[01:10:40] possess it. Right now, they will possess
[01:10:42] it. Pay attention to the language.
[01:10:46] Verse 18, then the house of Jacob will
[01:10:48] be of fire and the house of Joseph of
[01:10:50] flame, but the house of Esau will be a
[01:10:52] stubble,
[01:10:53] >> and they will set them on fire and
[01:10:54] consume them, so that there will be no
[01:10:56] survivor of the house of Esau, for the
[01:10:59] Lord has spoken. And then go down to the
[01:11:01] last verse of this prophecy. The
[01:11:04] deliverers, which I believe are the
[01:11:06] Israelites, will ascend Mount Zion,
[01:11:08] which is Jerusalem, to judge the
[01:11:10] mountain of Esau, which are the
[01:11:12] and the kingdom will be the
[01:11:14] Lord's.
[01:11:15] >> Hallelujah.
[01:11:16] >> What's not clear? Hallelujah.
[01:11:20] Please, friends,
[01:11:22] please
[01:11:24] teach others this.
[01:11:27] I'm not standing on this doctrine going,
[01:11:30] "Oh, put it behind a payw wall. I've got
[01:11:32] a secret pro prophetic revelation for
[01:11:34] you. Better start signing up for my
[01:11:36] monthly subscribers and then I'll tell
[01:11:38] I'm giving it to you for free. Thank you
[01:11:40] for your donations. This is for free.
[01:11:44] Zion is occupied by
[01:11:48] in the last days, not Israel and Judah.
[01:11:53] And Israel and Judah drive them out on
[01:11:55] the day of the Lord.
[01:11:58] and it becomes the Lord's kingdom. Not
[01:12:00] Netanyahus,
[01:12:02] not Zionists,
[01:12:04] but the Lord's kingdom.
[01:12:07] Zechariah 14 also is the return of Jesus
[01:12:09] Christ, but a lot of people don't pay
[01:12:11] attention to the very last verse of
[01:12:12] Zechariah 14. So, go to Zechariah 14.
[01:12:17] Powerful stuff, guys.
[01:12:19] Zechariah 14. Uh, just to make the
[01:12:21] point, if you go to the beginning of the
[01:12:23] chapter, you'll see this very clearly.
[01:12:26] um the Messiah returns. It says in verse
[01:12:28] four, "In that day, his feet will stand
[01:12:29] on the Mount of Olives, which is in
[01:12:31] front of Jerusalem on the east, and the
[01:12:32] Mount of Olives will be split in its
[01:12:34] middle from east to west by a very large
[01:12:35] valley, so that half of the mountain
[01:12:37] will move toward the north and the other
[01:12:38] half toward the south." So Jesus returns
[01:12:41] uh then says in verse 9, "And the Lord
[01:12:43] will be king over all the earth in the
[01:12:44] that day. The Lord will be the only one
[01:12:46] and his name the only one." But I want
[01:12:49] to pay attention after some other
[01:12:51] judgments. Very last verse, just like
[01:12:53] Obadiah. Very last verse says this,
[01:12:57] verse 21. Zechariah 14:21. Every cooking
[01:12:59] pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be
[01:13:01] holy to the Lord of hosts, and all who
[01:13:04] sacrifice will come and take of them and
[01:13:06] boil them. And there will no longer be a
[01:13:08] Canaanite in the house of the Lord of
[01:13:10] Hosts in that day. A Canaanite. Who did
[01:13:14] Esau marry?
[01:13:16] >> Canaanite women.
[01:13:19] What kind of blood is in Esau's
[01:13:21] bloodline? Canaanite blood.
[01:13:25] Who in Oadiah is ruling in Mount Zion?
[01:13:29] Edom. Who will no longer be in the house
[01:13:32] of the Lord when Jesus returns?
[01:13:34] Canaanites.
[01:13:38] They're not Jews.
[01:13:43] In the 2020 study, the genomic history
[01:13:45] of the Bronze Age Southern Levant,
[01:13:47] researchers analyzed the DNA from 93
[01:13:50] ancient individuals from across the
[01:13:52] Levant, which by the way, I found out
[01:13:54] none of these were first and second
[01:13:55] temple period Jewish grave sites. They
[01:13:58] are all grave sites from other places in
[01:14:00] the Levant. Okay, Ashcolon and
[01:14:02] elsewhere. Okay. 93 ancient individuals
[01:14:05] from across the Levant and compared the
[01:14:07] remains with that of 1,663
[01:14:10] modern individuals, majority of them
[01:14:12] Ashkanazis, but they did do some Arabs
[01:14:14] as well. The conclusion, modern
[01:14:16] Ashkanazi populations are descendants of
[01:14:18] the ancient Canaanites. Jerusalem Post
[01:14:21] headlined the study. Quote, modern Jews
[01:14:23] and Arabs retain more than half their
[01:14:25] ancestry from Bronze Age Canaanites.
[01:14:28] They call themselves Ashkenazis.
[01:14:30] Ashkenaz is a descendant of Jaffith.
[01:14:34] That's the European in them, right?
[01:14:37] That's only 31%. This study revealed
[01:14:40] their European blood is only 31%. These
[01:14:42] are Canaanites. The are known
[01:14:45] as being Canaanite blooded in scripture.
[01:14:48] God will judge Edom. There will be no
[01:14:50] Canaanite in the house of the Lord.
[01:14:53] Wow.
[01:14:57] The present occupiers of Jerusalem are
[01:14:59] not permitting tests to be done on first
[01:15:01] and second temple period Jewish grave
[01:15:02] sites. I think if there's anything we
[01:15:05] should demand,
[01:15:06] obviously we want pedophiles hung
[01:15:08] publicly. But I'm talking about in the
[01:15:10] biblical archaeological side of things,
[01:15:12] we should demand first and second temple
[01:15:14] period so we can stop calling people
[01:15:18] Jews that are not.
[01:15:21] If we extract DNA from the first and
[01:15:23] second temple period Jewish graves, that
[01:15:26] will tell us who they were. And I don't
[01:15:28] mean one grave site. I mean lots. So
[01:15:31] that we have a good solid proof of who
[01:15:35] they were.
[01:15:37] Right
[01:15:40] now, we're going to wrap up with this.
[01:15:42] I'm so glad you guys have stuck with me
[01:15:43] online and in person. Jeremiah 3 final
[01:15:47] proves just that Israel is not occupying
[01:15:51] Jerusalem until the day of the Lord. If
[01:15:53] you go to Jeremiah 3, Jeremiah has quite
[01:15:55] a few, but but this one is um more
[01:15:58] clear.
[01:16:00] [crying] Uh verses 17 and 18. Obviously,
[01:16:03] I'm not reading the whole chapter. You
[01:16:05] should you should read these things, but
[01:16:07] we're just going to pull couple of
[01:16:09] verses so you understand. Verse 17. At
[01:16:11] that time they will call Jerusalem the
[01:16:12] throne of the Lord, and all the nations
[01:16:14] will be gathered to it to Jerusalem for
[01:16:16] the name of the Lord. Nor will they walk
[01:16:18] anymore after the stubbornness of their
[01:16:19] evil heart. In those days, in those days
[01:16:23] when this is the Lord's kingdom, what
[01:16:24] did Obadiah say? And the kingdom will be
[01:16:26] the Lord's. When when Israel takes
[01:16:29] control of Jerusalem and drives out the
[01:16:35] uh and all the nations will be gathered
[01:16:36] to it. Okay. Verse 18. In those days,
[01:16:38] the house of Judah will walk with the
[01:16:40] house of Israel, and they will come
[01:16:42] together from the land of the north to
[01:16:44] the land that I gave your fathers as an
[01:16:45] inheritance.
[01:16:49] They come from the north. Interestingly,
[01:16:52] Josephus said that Jews who didn't want
[01:16:54] to appear to be Jews in the first
[01:16:56] century, they could hide the
[01:16:58] circumcision of the genitals and in a in
[01:17:00] a Greek or Roman bath house, they would
[01:17:02] blend in with the Greeks.
[01:17:05] Very
[01:17:07] interesting.
[01:17:10] But my point is they come from the north
[01:17:12] into Israel.
[01:17:16] And they don't come until the day of the
[01:17:17] Lord. Ezekiel 37
[01:17:20] also makes this case.
[01:17:25] This is the dry bones prophecy. Very
[01:17:27] important. The dry bones, you know, oh
[01:17:29] dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
[01:17:31] Okay.
[01:17:34] Um,
[01:17:36] look at this verse 12. Therefore,
[01:17:38] prophesy and say to them, thus says the
[01:17:40] Lord God, behold, I will open your
[01:17:41] graves and cause you to come up out of
[01:17:43] your graves, my people, and I will bring
[01:17:45] you into the land of Israel. This is
[01:17:47] known as a last days prophecy. Then
[01:17:50] you'll know that I am the Lord when I
[01:17:51] have opened your graves and caused you
[01:17:53] to come up out of your graves, my
[01:17:54] people. I will put my spirit within you,
[01:17:56] and you will come to life, and I will
[01:17:57] place you on your own land. then you'll
[01:17:59] know that I the Lord have spoken and
[01:18:01] done it, declares the Lord. So then
[01:18:04] there's a reunion of Judah and Israel.
[01:18:07] Okay? And then look at this verse 21.
[01:18:10] Say to them, "Thus says the Lord God,
[01:18:11] behold, I will take the sons of Israel
[01:18:12] from among the nations where they have
[01:18:14] gone, and I will gather them from every
[01:18:16] side and bring them into their own land,
[01:18:18] and I will make them one nation in the
[01:18:19] land on the mountains of Israel, and one
[01:18:21] king will be king for all of them, and
[01:18:23] they will no longer be two nations, no
[01:18:24] longer be divided into two kingdoms."
[01:18:27] Um, so they will have one king, one
[01:18:29] nation. Who's that king? Well, according
[01:18:32] to these scriptures, it's it's David.
[01:18:34] It's the Messiah. So, David rules over
[01:18:37] them. Okay? In these last days,
[01:18:40] look at verse 24. My servant David will
[01:18:43] be king over them. So, at the time of
[01:18:45] the Messiah's return is when Israel
[01:18:47] comes in. Sorry, my little uh my little
[01:18:50] battery died. At the time of the
[01:18:51] Messiah's return is when Israel comes in
[01:18:56] and lives in Jerusalem again, not prior,
[01:18:59] not 1963, day of the Lord.
[01:19:02] My servant David will be king over them.
[01:19:04] And they will all have one shepherd. And
[01:19:06] they will walk in my ordinances and keep
[01:19:08] my statutes and observe them. They will
[01:19:10] live on the land that I gave to Jacob,
[01:19:12] my servant, in which your father lived.
[01:19:14] And they will live on it. They and their
[01:19:16] sons and their sons sons forever. And
[01:19:18] David, my servant, will be their prince
[01:19:19] forever.
[01:19:21] We're talking about Jesus, the
[01:19:22] descendant of David.
[01:19:24] When did they arrive?
[01:19:26] When Jesus arrives. Has Jesus arrived?
[01:19:29] No. So, who's there now?
[01:19:33] They're not Jews.
[01:19:38] I hope this is clear.
[01:19:40] >> A whole sermon on it. Hopefully that
[01:19:42] helps. I will make a covenant of peace
[01:19:45] with them. It will be an everlasting
[01:19:47] covenant with them. And I will place
[01:19:48] them and multiply them. and will set my
[01:19:50] sanctuary in their midst forever.
[01:19:53] My dwelling place also will be with
[01:19:54] them, and I will be their God, and they
[01:19:56] will be my people, and the nations will
[01:19:57] know that I am the Lord who sanctifies
[01:19:59] Israel when my sanctuary is in their
[01:20:01] midst forever.
[01:20:05] Forever,
[01:20:07] friends, they're not Jews. That's the
[01:20:11] key to this sermon. I hope you'll share
[01:20:14] it with friends so that they can also
[01:20:17] hear this truth that the way the Bible
[01:20:19] teaches it very simply. want
[01:20:22] Israel. Tried to take it during
[01:20:24] Babylon's invasion. Tried to take it
[01:20:27] during King Herod. Trying to take it
[01:20:29] right now. They were there crucifying
[01:20:32] Jesus in the first advent. They're going
[01:20:34] to be there trying to prevent Jesus of
[01:20:36] bringing a Antichrist in the second
[01:20:38] advent. No matter what, the actual
[01:20:41] descendants of Jacob will take that
[01:20:43] land. And those who are grafted into
[01:20:45] Israel by believing in Jesus will also
[01:20:48] dwell peacefully in that land and across
[01:20:50] the earth. That's what's going to
[01:20:52] happen. Israel did not return to their
[01:20:55] homeland in 1963. The Rothschilds aka
[01:20:58] Shield of Edom secured the lands for the
[01:21:01] That's what happened. They are
[01:21:04] the synagogue of Satan who say that they
[01:21:05] are Jews and are not but lie. And Jesus
[01:21:08] is going to make them come and bow down
[01:21:09] at our feet and admit that he loves us
[01:21:13] and that they were serving the devil.
[01:21:16] >> Wow. Say it with me one more time. There
[01:21:19] >> not
[01:21:20] >> choose.
[01:21:22] >> Hopefully you got it. If you watched
[01:21:24] online, thank you very much. Make sure
[01:21:26] you like this video. Share it with your
[01:21:27] friends. Comment below any questions
[01:21:28] that you have. Also, let me know what
[01:21:30] day of the week works best for a live
[01:21:32] stream because maybe we can get one of
[01:21:34] those going. I have everything set up.
[01:21:35] could do it. If you guys are going to be
[01:21:36] able to log on and ask questions, that
[01:21:39] would be wonderful. Uh, so let me know.
[01:21:41] Best day for you guys. Um, also make
[01:21:43] sure you subscribe to the channel if you
[01:21:44] haven't. Hit the bell icon. Go to
[01:21:46] rumble.com as well. Look me up on there.
[01:21:48] rumble.com/ richidwell. I'm pretty sure
[01:21:51] will take you to me. Subscribe to my
[01:21:53] channel over there so that you also get
[01:21:54] updates because I'm going to post

[01:21:57] censored on YouTube, I'll post it on
[01:21:59] Rumble. That way you for sure have it no
[01:22:01] matter what. Um, and also if you would
[01:22:03] like to give and support this ministry,
[01:22:05] we're very grateful for your generosity.
[01:22:07] You can text the word give to
[01:22:08] 3867537337.
[01:22:11] Both your one-time and monthly gifts are
[01:22:13] huge. We are so grateful. Jesus said,
[01:22:15] "Give and it will be given to you,
[01:22:16] poured into your lap, pressed down,
[01:22:17] shaken together, running over, and the
[01:22:19] measure you give, it will be given to
[01:22:20] you." God always blesses giving. If you
[01:22:23] pay attention to people giving um
[01:22:25] Abraham gave to Melkisedc and Jesus's
[01:22:28] high priest in the order of Melkisedc,
[01:22:30] but also you'll notice the people gave
[01:22:31] to the priests throughout all of
[01:22:32] scripture. Why? Because it represents
[01:22:34] giving to God and God's God's kingdom
[01:22:37] and and his work in the earth. And God
[01:22:39] blesses you as a result of that
[01:22:40] generosity. The first murder was over
[01:22:43] giving to God. It was Cain and Abel. So
[01:22:45] giving is really important. Satan
[01:22:47] resists it. I encourage you to overcome,
[01:22:50] you know, greed and stinginess by being
[01:22:52] a generous Christian. And we're so
[01:22:54] grateful for your gifts. We pray that
[01:22:56] the Lord blesses you. All right, let's
[01:22:57] pray the blessing over all those online
[01:22:59] and in person. You guys ready? May the
[01:23:02] Lord bless you and keep you. May he make
[01:23:05] his face to shine upon you and be
[01:23:07] gracious to you. May he lift up his
[01:23:10] countenance to you and give you peace.
[01:23:12] Shabbat shalom. We love you very much.
[01:23:14] We are looking forward to the day that
[01:23:16] Jesus returns and Israel reigns in
[01:23:20] Israel with Jesus who is David's
[01:23:23] descendant. That's going to be a
[01:23:25] wonderful day. And we're also thankful
[01:23:27] that we know that right now the ones
[01:23:29] there are not
[01:23:32] Jews.
[01:23:34] Love you all. We'll see you next week.
