Caption transcript for Future Congress 2: “Israel and World Revival,” Part 1 (1/7)

• 00:02 THIS LITTLE TINY COUNTRY
• 00:03 IS NOT GOING TO LEAVE THE CENTER OF OUR HEADLINES
• 00:05 UNTIL THE LORD COMES.
• 00:07 IT IS NOT GOING AWAY.
• 00:09 THIS WILL BE THE CENTRAL ISSUE IN WORLD POLITICS UNTIL JESUS COMES.
• 00:12 HE'S COMING BACK TO A JEWISH JERUSALEM TO SET UP A MILLENNIAL REIGN FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 00:17 AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE JEWISH SIDE OF THINGS AS WELL AS THE CHRISTIAN SIDE OF THINGS
• 00:22 IN ORDER TO BE WELL BALANCED.
• 00:39 BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
• 00:45 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK
• 00:50 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
• 01:05 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.
• 01:06 I'M MYLES WEISS.
• 01:07 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS
• 01:09 AND WE WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO OUR PROGRAM TODAY.
• 01:11 AGAIN WE HAVE SOME EXCITING PROGRAMS TO BRING OUR VIEWERS MYLES.
• 01:14 YES WE DO.
• 01:15 WE WERE ABLE TO BE AT THE FUTURE CONGRESS 2.
• 01:18 WE WERE THERE WITH SPEAKERS HAL LINDSEY, BILL KOENIG AND OTHERS.
• 01:20 I WAS ABLE TO BRING A MESSAGE ON ISRAEL AND WORLD REVIVAL.
• 01:24 JESUS LEFT TWO COMMANDMENTS WHEN HE LEFT THIS EARTH.
• 01:28 HE TOLD THE DISCIPLES THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE HIM AGAIN
• 01:31 UNTIL THEY SAID "BARUCH HABA HASHEM ADONAI",
• 01:35 "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO COME IN THE NAME OF THE LORD".
• 01:37 HE GAVE US THAT COMMAND TO BE LOOKING FOR HIM IN MATTHEW 23:39.
• 01:41 HE ALSO SAID IN MATTHEW 24:14 THAT THIS GOSPEL, THIS GOOD NEWS, THIS MESSAGE
• 01:47 WOULD BE PREACHED TO ALL THE WORLD AND THEN THE END WOULD COME.
• 01:51 SO WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A MESSAGE IN THERE FOR ISRAEL AND ALSO FOR THE NATIONS.
• 01:55 AND IN THE DAY IN WHICH WE'RE LIVING IT'S INCREDIBLE TO SEE
• 01:58 THAT ISRAEL HERSELF IS BEGINNING TO SEND THE GOOD NEWS OUT AGAIN JUST AS SHE DID 2,000 YEARS AGO.
• 02:05 SO LET'S GO NOW AND HEAR MYLES SPEAK ABOUT ISRAEL AND WORLD REVIVAL.
• 02:12 SO ISRAEL AND WORLD REVIVAL, THE PLACE OF ISRAEL IN OUR LIVES,
• 02:16 WE REALLY HAVE TO GO BACK 4,000 YEARS TO UNDERSTAND THIS CALLING.
• 02:20 WE THINK OF LIFE IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH,
• 02:22 WE THINK OF LIFE BEGINNING AT THE CROSS.
• 02:24 AND SO MANY CHURCHES THEY SPEAK ABOUT LIFE BEGINNING AT THE CROSS.
• 02:27 AND WE KNOW THAT SPIRITUAL LIFE DOES BEGIN THERE FOR US WHEN WE'RE BORN AGAIN.
• 02:32 BUT YOUR STORY BEGINS 4,000 YEARS AGO WITH THE CALL OF ABRAHAM WHICH IS INTERESTING.
• 02:37 INSTEAD OF THE 2,000 YEAR PORTION YOU HAVE THE 4,000 YEAR PORTION.
• 02:42 IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOU COULD HAVE THE DOUBLE PORTION.
• 02:45 THE DOUBLE PORTION IS THE ENTRANCE OF YOUR LIFE INTO THE LIFE OF ISRAEL
• 02:51 BECAUSE YOU'RE GRAFTED IN TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL.
• 02:54 IT'S A 4,000 YEAR OLD STORY SO THE DOUBLE PORTION IS AVAILABLE TO YOU TODAY AND TO ME AS WELL.
• 03:00 WE NEED TO STRIVE FOR; WE NEED TO REACH FOR THAT.
• 03:04 WE NEED TO NOT GIVE UP
• 03:05 EVEN THOUGH WE SEE CHURCHES LANGUISHING IN THEIR REACH FOR THIS.
• 03:09 NOW I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS.
• 03:11 WE WERE JUST RECENTLY BECOME CONNECTED WITH A CHURCH THAT IS ABOUT 5,000 MEMBERS
• 03:17 WHICH IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IS A MEGA-CHURCH AND MAYBE ANYWHERE A MEGA-CHURCH.
• 03:21 BUT IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IT IS STUPENDOUS THAT THERE ARE 5,000 PEOPLE GATHERING IN ONE PLACE...
• 03:26 TWO CAMPUSES ACTUALLY.
• 03:28 THIS CHURCH HAS GOTTEN THE DOWNLOAD FROM HEAVEN
• 03:32 THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE AT THE CENTER OF THEIR LIFE A JEWISH MINISTRY.
• 03:37 AND NOT ONLY SO, CALLING KATHARINE AND MYSELF
• 03:39 TO BE THE PASTORS OF THEIR JEWISH MINISTRY.
• 03:42 BUT THEY HAVE DETERMINED TO SEND THE FIRST TENTH OF A TENTH;
• 03:46 IT'S A BEGINNING, OF ALL THEIR FINANCES TO MINISTRIES IN ISRAEL.
• 03:51 THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR MOUTH IS.
• 03:54 THEY'RE PUTTING THEIR MONEY WHERE THEIR HEART IS.
• 03:56 I THOUGHT AS THIS CHURCH HAS COME INTO THIS CALLING
• 03:59 AND BEGUN TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT A SIDE STREAM,
• 04:03 THIS IS A MAIN STREAM TO GOD.
• 04:05 THAT AS THEY'RE DOING THAT
• 04:06 WE'RE PRAYING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A TEMPLATE FOR OTHER CHURCHES
• 04:09 TO REALIZE THAT IN A DAY IN WHICH WE'RE LIVING
• 04:12 WE CANNOT MOVE FORWARD IN OUR PERSONAL WALK,
• 04:15 WE CANNOT MOVE FORWARD IN OUR CORPORATE WALK
• 04:17 WITHOUT GETTING THIS UNDERSTANDING IN THE CENTER OF OUR LIVES.
• 04:21 I KNOW I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR HERE
• 04:25 BUT WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT NOT TO GIVE UP ON OUR PASTORS
• 04:29 AND FRIENDS AND THOSE THAT WE KNOW IN SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP WHO YOU PRAYED FOR.
• 04:33 THE IDEA I WANT TO GET ACROSS TO YOU TODAY, ONE OF THE IDEAS, IS TO COME HUMBLY TO THEM.
• 04:39 COME IN LOW AND FIND THE PLACE OF SERVICE,
• 04:41 A PLACE OF CONNECTING WITH THEM AND SERVING THEIR PURPOSES
• 04:45 SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE A VOICE TO THEM TO SAY HAVE YOU CONSIDERED MY SERVANT ISRAEL,
• 04:51 HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THE REALITY
• 04:53 THAT IN FACT THE RANDOM JEWISH PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING SAVED SO CALLED
• 04:58 BUT IN FACT WE THE GENTILE CHURCH ARE GRAFTED-IN,
• 05:02 THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH IS GRAFTED-IN TO THE COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL
• 05:07 ACCORDING TO EPHESIANS CHAPTER 2.
• 05:09 SO DON'T GIVE UP.
• 05:12 I WANT TO SAY THAT THERE'S HOPE AS LONG AS WE'RE BREATHING
• 05:15 AND AS LONG AS THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE RECOGNIZING THAT
• 05:17 THERE'S NO PLACE AS WE HEARD LAST NIGHT
• 05:21 THIS LITTLE TINY COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO LEAVE THE CENTER OF OUR HEADLINES UNTIL THE LORD COMES.
• 05:25 IT IS NOT GOING AWAY.
• 05:27 THIS WILL BE THE CENTRAL ISSUE IN WORLD POLITICS UNTIL JESUS COMES.
• 05:31 HE'S COMING BACK TO A JEWISH JERUSALEM TO SET UP A MILLENNIAL REIGN FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
• 05:36 WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE JEWISH SIDE OF THINGS AS WELL AS THE CHRISTIAN SIDE OF THINGS
• 05:41 IN ORDER TO BE WELL BALANCED.
• 05:42 I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST CAME INTO JEWISH MINISTRY
• 05:45 AND ONE WORLD LEADER INSISTED ON CALLING ME "RABBI".
• 05:48 AND I WAS THINKING BACK TO MOISHE ROSEN OF "JEWS FOR JESUS"
• 05:52 WARNING ME IN MY EARLY DAYS SAYING MYLES DON'T LET THEM CALL YOU RABBI
• 05:56 BECAUSE IT'S OFFENSIVE TO THE MAINSTREAM JEWS,
• 05:58 IT'S OFFENSIVE TO JEWS FOR MOSES NOT JEWS FOR JESUS.
• 06:01 AND SO BE CAREFUL WITH THAT.
• 06:03 BE CAREFUL OF THOSE LABELS.
• 06:05 NO MATTER WHAT I SAID TO THIS MAN HE INSISTED ON CALLING ME HIS RABBI...
• 06:08 YOU'RE MY RABBI MYLES.
• 06:09 I FINALLY GAVE UP AND LET HIM DO IT.
• 06:12 BUT HE SAID TO ME, I NEED YOUR HELP BECAUSE YOU'RE SO BALANCED
• 06:18 IN THE WAY YOU UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CHURCH AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 06:24 I SAID YOU KNOW ED I'M VERY BALANCED,
• 06:27 I HAVE CHIPS ON BOTH SHOULDERS. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
• 06:30 AND THAT IS IN FACT WHAT KEEPS ME GOING, KEEPS ME STEADY.
• 06:35 THE REALITY IS THAT SO MANY PASTORS HAVE BEEN HURT BY THE MESSIANIC MOVEMENT
• 06:40 AND WHAT WE JEWISH FOLKS CALL "MESSIANTICS"
• 06:43 THAT THEY NEED TO BE HEALED UP,
• 06:45 THEY NEED TO BE INSTRUCTED,
• 06:46 THEY NEED TO BE HELPED TO COME INTO THIS UNDERSTANDING
• 06:49 IN A WAY THAT MAY REQUIRE SOME GENTLENESS, SOME CARE,
• 06:53 SOME PASTORAL CARE OF THE PASTORS ALONG THE WAY
• 06:56 IN ORDER FOR THEM TO LEAD THEIR PEOPLE INTO WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW TO BE TRUE.
• 07:01 THAT SAID...ONE OF THE BEST WAYS YOU CAN DO THAT
• 07:04 IS TO BRING THEM TO ISRAEL.
• 07:05 HAVE YOUR PASTOR COME TO ISRAEL AND BRING HIS PEOPLE TO ISRAEL.
• 07:09 THAT IS LIFE-CHANGING.
• 07:11 WE'VE BROUGHT SO MANY PASTORS TO ISRAEL
• 07:12 AND THEY COME AWAY WITH THE SAME TESTIMONY WHICH YOU'VE HEARD
• 07:16 WHICH IS "WHY WASN'T THIS 35 YEARS AGO IN SEMINARY?"
• 07:19 "WHY DID I WAIT MY WHOLE LIFE TO HEAR THIS MESSAGE..."
• 07:23 "THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED."
• 07:25 OF COURSE NOW WHEN THEY COME HOME AND THEIR FACING THE MORTGAGE ON THE CHURCH
• 07:28 IT BECOMES MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER THOSE REVELATORY MOMENTS IN ISRAEL.
• 07:33 YOU HAVE TO STAY WITH THEM AND HELP THEM TO STAY IN THE REVELATION OF THESE TRUTHS.
• 07:38 BUT THE REALITY IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE PSYCHOLOGIZING OF THE CHURCH
• 07:42 AND THE "LUKEWARMING" OF THE CHURCH AND THE FALLING AWAY SEASON THAT WE'RE IN
• 07:48 IT'S VERY HARD FOR THE CHURCH AT LARGE TO KEEP THIS ISSUE AT THE CENTER OF ITS HEART, WHY?,
• 07:54 IT'S COSTLY.
• 07:56 THERE'S NOTHING IN IT FOR ME.
• 07:58 IT'S FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
• 07:59 IT'S FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM.
• 08:01 IT'S FOR THE SAKE OF YESHUA.
• 08:02 IT'S FOR THE SAKE OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 08:04 WHO I KNOW AS A JEW, ARE NOT ALWAYS SUCH A LOVELY GROUP OF PEOPLE.
• 08:08 NOW I CAN SAY THAT.
• 08:09 PLEASE, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT.
• 08:11 THE "J" WORD, BE CAREFUL.
• 08:13 BUT I CAN SAY IT.
• 08:15 AND THE FACT IS THAT WE'RE NOT ALWAYS THE LOVELIEST GROUP AROUND.
• 08:17 WE KNOW THAT ABOUT OURSELVES.
• 08:20 BUT ONE OF THE MOST PRECIOUS SCRIPTURES ABOUT THE WAY THE NATIONS IN ISRAEL WORK TOGETHER OR DON'T WORK TOGETHER
• 08:26 IS IN ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 1:14-15
• 08:30 WHERE GOD SAYS ABOUT ISRAEL, EMPHASIZING MY REDEMPTION IS WHAT I'M CALLING THEM TO.
• 08:36 YES, I'VE BEEN ANGRY WITH THEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE
• 08:38 BUT I'M CALLING THEM TO REDEMPTION AND RESTORATION.
• 08:41 HIS HEART IS ALWAYS ABOUT RESTORATION
• 08:44 WHETHER IT'S PERSONALLY...
• 08:45 THAT'S WHY KATHARINE AND I WORK WITH MARRIAGES...
• 08:47 OR WHETHER IT'S CORPORATELY AS A NATION.
• 08:50 THERE'S ALWAYS THE REDEMPTION THAT'S IN HIS HEART FIRST.
• 08:52 AND THEN HE WILL CORRECT ALONG THE WAY.
• 08:55 THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE NATIONS...
• 08:57 AND HE SAYS THIS IN THAT PASSAGE IN ZECHARIAH...
• 08:59 HE SAYS, YOU WENT TOO FAR.
• 09:01 YOU MEANT IT FOR EVIL.
• 09:03 IN OTHER WORDS, THE NATIONS IN HELPING GOD TO CORRECT ISRAEL
• 09:06 WENT A LITTLE TOO FAR OVER THE COURSE OF THE CENTURIES
• 09:10 WHICH ANSWERS ONE OF THE NEXT QUESTIONS.
• 09:12 WHY DON'T JEWISH PEOPLE GET THAT JESUS IS OUR MESSIAH?
• 09:16 WHY IS IT SO HARD?
• 09:18 AND I CAN ANSWER THAT IN THREE OR FOUR WORDS,
• 09:21 THE INQUISITION, THE CRUSADES, THE POGROMS AND THE HOLOCAUST.
• 09:26 THOSE ARE GOOD REASONS FOR JEWISH PEOPLE NOT TO GET THAT THERE'S A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR MESSIAH AND OURSELVES.
• 09:36 WE HAVE A SPOTTED HISTORY WITH THE CHURCH
• 09:40 AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF GAP TO OVERCOME WHEN YOU'RE HELPING JEWISH PEOPLE COME TO UNDERSTAND
• 09:47 THAT THE MOST HEBREW THING WE CAN DO IS FOLLOW THE JEWISH MESSIAH.
• 09:51 THAT IS THE MOST JEWISH THING I CAN DO.
• 09:54 I JOKE ABOUT THAT THE RABBIS CALL ME "PASTOR",
• 09:59 THE PASTORS CALL ME "RABBI",
• 10:01 MY PATIENTS CALL ME "DOC",
• 10:02 MY FAMILY CALLS ME "MASHUGAN" (SILLY)
• 10:05 BECAUSE WHAT IS THIS THING YOU'RE DOING MYLES THAT SINCE 1984 YOU'VE BEEN ON THIS.
• 10:11 ARE YOU GOING TO GET OVER THIS?
• 10:12 IS THIS A PASSING PHASE?
• 10:14 YOU MARRIED A GENTILE AND NOW YOU'RE FINALLY GOING AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE GOSPEL OF JESUS.
• 10:18 ARE YOU GOING TO GET OVER THIS?
• 10:19 IS THIS A PASSING PHASE?
• 10:20 IS THIS LIKE THE OTHER THINGS YOU DID AS A TEENAGER?
• 10:22 I'M 61 YEARS OLD.
• 10:24 I THINK THEY FIGURED OUT THAT BY NOW THIS IS GOING TO STICK.
• 10:27 THIS IS NOT GOING AWAY.
• 10:29 AND THE REALITY IS THAT THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING FOR YOU AS WELL,
• 10:32 THIS BURNING PASSION TO UNDERSTAND THE ONE NEW MAN AND TO HELP OTHERS UNDERSTAND IT.
• 10:36 IT'S NOT GOING TO GO AWAY.
• 10:38 SO ISRAEL AND CHURCH REVIVAL;
• 10:40 THIS GOES BACK FOR YOU 4,000 YEARS TO THE CALL OF ABRAHAM.
• 10:44 WHEN ABRAHAM WAS CALLED OUT YOUR LIFE BEGAN.
• 10:46 THE CLOCK STARTED TICKING
• 10:48 AND GOD STARTED HELPING US TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE'VE COME FROM AND WHERE WE'RE GOING.
• 10:54 WE ARE HEWN FROM THE ROCK THAT ABRAHAM IS.
• 10:58 HE WAS CUT OUT AND SET ASIDE AND CALLED OUT.
• 11:01 SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN ABOUT THE IDENTITY OF A JEW?
• 11:04 REALLY, A JEWISH PERSON, THE ORIGINAL JEWISH PERSON,
• 11:07 IS A GENTILE WHO IS CALLED OUT SOVEREIGNLY BY GOD.
• 11:11 HE DID THIS WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF A SERMON, WITHOUT A PASTOR, WITHOUT A SMALL GROUP,
• 11:16 WITHOUT ANY OF THE COMMENSURATE LITTLE THINGS THAT WE DO IN THE CHURCHES
• 11:22 THAT WE HAVE TO HELP ONE ANOTHER GROW, TO DISCIPLE ONE ANOTHER.
• 11:25 IT WAS A SOVEREIGN CALL OF GOD THAT CALLED HIM OUT.
• 11:29 NOW, HISTORIANS TELL US THAT ABRAHAM WAS PROBABLY FROM AN IDOL-MAKING FAMILY,
• 11:35 VERY WEALTHY TO BEGIN WITH AND THEN GOING TO BECOMING WEALTHIER WHEN HE WAS WALKING WITH GOD.
• 11:41 BUT HE WAS FROM AN IDOL-MAKING FAMILY
• 11:43 AND THEY PROBABLY WERE DOING VERY WELL IN UR OF THE CHALDEA'S.
• 11:46 AND THE CALL ON THEM TO COME OUT OF THIS COSMOPOLITAN PLACE
• 11:50 INTO THIS LIFE OF WANDERING IS VERY CHALLENGING.
• 11:53 YOU MAY HAVE FELT LIKE THAT SOMETIMES ALONG THE WAY YOURSELVES
• 11:57 WHERE, "GOD IS THERE A RESTING PLACE FOR ME?"
• 11:59 SOMETIMES FOR SOME OF US WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE JUST KIND OF ON THE MOVE
• 12:03 AND THERE'S REALLY NEVER A PLACE WHERE WE FEEL EXACTLY AT HOME
• 12:06 BECAUSE OUR HOME IS NOT HERE.
• 12:08 OUR HOME IS IN A CITY WHOSE MAKER AND BUILDER IS GOD
• 12:11 AND SO THERE'S GOING TO BE A SENSE FOR SOME OF US
• 12:14 THAT THERE'S NO PLACE ON EARTH THAT REALLY FEELS HOME-LIKE
• 12:18 ACCEPT MAYBE WHEN YOU LAND IN ISRAEL.
• 12:20 AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I HEARD THAT?
• 12:21 YOU'VE PROBABLY SAID IT YOURSELF,
• 12:23 "WHEN I LANDED HERE I FELT LIKE I CAME HOME FINALLY".
• 12:26 AND I HEAR THAT ALL THE TIME FROM PEOPLE.

• 15:02 SO WE THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR MINISTRY
• 15:05 AND WHAT GOD IS DOING IN THESE LAST DAYS WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 15:08 AND BRINGING THAT "ONE NEW MAN" PERSPECTIVE.
• 15:12 WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK NOW AND HEAR MORE FROM MYLES
• 15:14 ABOUT THE MESSIANIC PERSPECTIVE OF WORLD REVIVAL.
• 15:20 LET'S GO BACK BEFORE ABRAHAM TO GENESIS IN CHAPTERS 1, 2 AND 3 IN THE FALL OF MAN.
• 15:27 THIS DOWNWARD SPIRAL BEGAN;
• 15:29 THIS FALL OF MAN AWAY FROM GOD THAT NEEDED TO BE REDEEMED:
• 15:33 THAT NEED FOR REDEMPTION.
• 15:35 GOD ENCOUNTERS THIS MAN WHO WAS OF THE LINE OF SHEM;
• 15:39 WAS OF THE LINE OF EBER, THE HEBREW,
• 15:41 AND HE BRINGS THIS MAN OUT OF THE LINE OF SHEM
• 15:46 AND BY THE CALL ON ABRAHAM HE SETS UP AN ENCOUNTER
• 15:51 THAT AFFECTS THE DESTINY OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH THROUGHOUT HISTORY.
• 15:59 WE CAN SAY "NO", THERE'S ALWAYS THAT OPTION
• 16:02 AND WE GRIEVE OVER FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES WHO SAY "NO" TO YESHUA
• 16:07 WHO IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF ABRAM'S CALL.
• 16:10 BUT IF WE DON'T SAY "NO";
• 16:13 IF WE DO SAY "YES" WE BEGIN THIS OTHER PROCESS OF THE RESTORATION UNTO LIFE THAT BEGAN WITH ABRAM.
• 16:20 SO ABRAM ACCORDING TO ROMANS CHAPTER 4 WAS A GENTILE CALLED OUT AND BROUGHT UNTO GOD
• 16:28 AND SETS UP A PATTERN FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
• 16:30 HE WAS LOOKING FOR A CITY.
• 16:32 NOW THERE'S THREEFOLD CALL ON ISRAEL THAT AFFECTS THE NATURE OF THE CHURCH.
• 16:37 IT AFFECTS THE CALL THAT'S ON YOU PERSONALLY AS WELL.
• 16:40 THERE'S A "BIRTHING" CALL ON ISRAEL TO BIRTH THE THINGS OF GOD,
• 16:45 TO BIRTH THE PATTERNS OF GOD,
• 16:47 TO BIRTH THE STORY, THE HISTORY.
• 16:49 I JOKE WITH MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES IN MINISTRY
• 16:54 THAT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE DIRT IN MY FAMILY HISTORY JUST PICK UP YOUR BIBLE
• 16:58 AND OPEN TO ANY PAGE AND THE DIRTY LAUNDRY IS THERE FOR YOU TO SEE AT ANY TIME.
• 17:04 NO OTHER FAMILY ON EARTH HAS SO MUCH DIRTY LAUNDRY AIRED BEFORE THE WORLD OTHER THAN THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 17:11 AND THAT'S BECAUSE GOD IS REDEMPTIVE
• 17:14 AND SO HE'S SAYING LOOK HERE'S THE LAUNDRY LIST BUT GUESS WHAT?
• 17:17 I'VE GOT AND EXPECTED END FOR YOU.
• 17:20 I'M TAKING YOU SOMEWHERE.
• 17:22 I'M BRINGING YOU INTO A RESTORATION
• 17:23 THAT IS SO FAR BEYOND WHAT WE COULD ASK OR THINK.
• 17:26 IT'S EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE WHAT WE COULD ASK OR THINK.
• 17:29 IT'S WAY BEYOND THE PERSONAL BREAKTHROUGHS, THE PERSONAL VICTORIES.
• 17:33 IT'S A NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL, A GLOBAL REDEMPTION THAT GOD IS OFFERING TO US THROUGH THE FINISHED WORK OF YESHUA.
• 17:41 SO THERE'S A BIRTHING CALL ON ISRAEL.
• 17:43 HE BIRTHS THE THINGS THAT WILL PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS,
• 17:47 THE THINGS THAT WILL PERTAIN TO EVERYONE WHO CALLS HIMSELF A BELIEVER.
• 17:51 THERE'S A "SALVATION" CALL.
• 17:53 JOHN 4:22 YESHUA SAYS TO THE SAMARITAN WOMAN, SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS.
• 17:59 YOU WORSHIP ON THIS MOUNTAIN.
• 18:01 THE JEWS WORSHIP IN JERUSALEM
• 18:03 BUT THE REALITY IS THAT I'M CALLING THOSE WHO ARE WORSHIPPING IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
• 18:07 AND THE REALITY IS THAT SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS.
• 18:10 THE ENTIRE SALVATION STORY COMES THROUGH THE JEWISH PEOPLE
• 18:16 AND THAT'S ONE OF THE HEARTACHES FOR US AS JEWISH BELIEVERS
• 18:20 AND THOSE OF YOU, THE GENTILE MESSIANICS,
• 18:23 THE ONES THAT HAVE KNIT THEMSELVES CONSCIOUSLY,
• 18:27 PURPOSEFULLY TO THE HEART OF ISRAEL AND THE HEART OF GOD.
• 18:30 ONE OF THE PAINFUL ASPECTS IS THAT THE CHURCH AT LARGE DOES NOT SEE THAT.
• 18:35 THEY BELIEVE THAT IT'S SOMEHOW...GOD HAS...IT'S REALLY A MARCIONITE HERESY.
• 18:40 IT'S A FIRST CENTURY HERESY.
• 18:42 MARCION SAID THAT HE DIVIDED THE WORD INTO TWO GROUPS;
• 18:47 THE BAD OLD TESTAMENT AND THE GOOD NEW TESTAMENT;
• 18:51 THE BAD JEWS AND THE GOOD CHRISTIANS;
• 18:53 THE BAD, ANGRY JEHOVAH AND THE GOOD, HAPPY, GENTLE SHEPHERD JESUS.
• 18:58 AND SO FOREVER PUT REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY IN PLACE.
• 19:02 I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT BACK.
• 19:04 AND SO HE PUT REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY INTO MOVEMENT
• 19:07 BUT IT WILL BE RECOVERED BECAUSE IT'S BEING RECOVERED IN OUR DAY.
• 19:11 HE REALITY IS THAT THIS MARCIONITE HERESY IS EVERYWHERE IN THE CHURCH.
• 19:15 THEY BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE BEGINS WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT, THE B'RIT HADASHAH
• 19:19 AND I LOVE HEARING ABOUT THE BROTHERS AROUND THE WORLD THAT ARE TAKING THAT MIDDLE PAGE,
• 19:23 THAT WHITE PAGE BETWEEN MALACHI AND MATTHEW.
• 19:26 THEY TAKE IT WITH A RAZOR BLADE AND THEY CIRCUMCISE THEIR BIBLES
• 19:30 THEY TAKE OUT THAT BLANK PAGE
• 19:32 BECAUSE IT'S A SEAMLESS CONNECTION BETWEEN MALACHI
• 19:35 AND ACTUALLY IN OUR BIBLE IT'S II CHRONICLES
• 19:37 BUT BETWEEN MALACHI AND MATTHEW THERE IS A SEAMLESS CONNECTION.
• 19:41 ITS ONE WHOLE STORY, AS SOMEONE HAS SAID, FROM GENESIS TO MAPS RIGHT?
• 19:46 IT'S ONE WHOLE STORY.
• 19:48 AND SO WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE CARRYING THIS UNDERSTANDING,
• 19:53 WE'RE CARRYING THIS REVELATION THAT THIS IS A BIGGER STORY THAN JUST A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH
• 19:58 AND WE NEED BOTH SIDES.
• 20:01 THE THIRD ASPECT OF THE CALL UPON ISRAEL IS THIS ROMANS 3 ADVANTAGE OF THE JEW.
• 20:08 WHAT ADVANTAGE HAS THE JEWS?
• 20:10 AND PAUL SAYS MUCH IN EVERY WAY
• 20:12 BECAUSE UNTO THE JEWS WAS COMMITTED THE ORACLES OF GOD,THE TEMPLE SERVICE, THE WORD OF GOD.
• 20:18 EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH LIFE AND GODLINESS
• 20:21 WAS COMMITTED TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE SO THAT THE WORLD COULD KNOW IT.
• 20:25 THAT'S WHY JESUS IN JOHN 17 IS SO STRONG ABOUT SAYING THAT THEY, MEANING THOSE OUT THERE,
• 20:32 HE'S SPEAKING TO HIS JEWISH DISCIPLES WHEN HE SAYS
• 20:34 THAT "THEY" THEY COME TO KNOW THE ONENESS THAT I HAVE WITH YOU
• 20:38 THROUGH THE WORD THAT YOU JEWISH DISCIPLES SPEAK TO THEM LOOKING FORWARD TO PAUL'S LIFE
• 20:45 AND THE LIFE OF THE APOSTLES RECOGNIZING THAT THESE JEWISH DISCIPLES WOULD BRING THE WORD TO THE GENTILE WORLD.
• 20:52 AND WHOSOEVER WILL, WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
• 20:56 TO COME INTO SALVATION THROUGH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
• 21:00 A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS IN ARIZONA.
• 21:02 JONATHAN BERNIS HELD THE MESSIANIC LEADERS ROUNDTABLE.
• 21:05 IT WAS THIS PRECIOUS GROUP.
• 21:08 I WAS SO THRILLED.
• 21:09 YOU MAY HAVE READ ABOUT THIS IN THE LEVITT LETTER
• 21:11 BUT I WAS SO BLESSED BY THE MATURITY THAT I SAW IN THE MESSIANIC MOVEMENT.
• 21:17 NOT ONLY ARE WE OLDER, FATTER AND BALDER...
• 21:20 SO WE'VE SEEN THAT KIND OF GROWTH.
• 21:22 BUT I SAW A HEART TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE;
• 21:28 A HEART TO INCLUDE THE GENTILES AND THE JEWS TOGETHER;
• 21:33 A HEART TO OVERCOME ANY EXCLUSIVITY ON THE PART OF THE JEWISH MINISTRIES
• 21:38 OR ANY EXCLUSIVITY ON THE PART OF GENTILE MINISTRIES,
• 21:41 AND TO WORK TOGETHER AS THE "ONE NEW MAN".
• 21:44 AND IT WAS SO POWERFUL AND SO PRECIOUS.
• 21:46 THERE WAS A SPECIAL MOMENT FOR ME.
• 21:48 JONATHAN KAHN CAME WITH A TORCH THAT HE HAD BEEN GIVEN A WEEK BEFORE IN MADRAS, INDIA
• 21:58 WHERE THOMAS THE DISCIPLE BROUGHT THE GOSPEL TO SOUTHERN INDIA.
• 22:04 THE GOSPEL HAS GONE UP THROUGH THE NORTH.
• 22:06 IF YOU'VE BEEN TO INDIA YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN A STRONG GOSPEL MOVEMENT IN INDIA
• 22:10 THROUGH THE CENTURIES STARTING IN THE SOUTH.
• 22:12 THE NORTH HAS BEEN MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.
• 22:14 WELL KATHARINE AND I AND THE MINISTRY WE WERE INVOLVED IN YEARS AGO
• 22:17 LABORED FOR YEARS GOING IN AND OUT OF INDIA AND SEEN AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN THERE.
• 22:21 AND IT ALWAYS WAS AMAZING TO ME THAT THEY KNEW THE HISTORY OF THEIR CONNECTION WITH JERUSALEM
• 22:28 BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZED THE MAR THOMA CHURCH, THE THOMAS BASED CHURCH,
• 22:33 RECOGNIZED THAT THEY HAD COME FROM THE GOSPEL GOING OUT OF JERUSALEM.
• 22:38 WELL HERE'S A REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY NOTE FOR YOU.
• 22:42 I'M ABOUT THREE YEARS OLD IN THE LORD, FOUR YEARS MAYBE.
• 22:47 I COME BACK FROM INDIA AND I'M GIVING A TESTIMONY
• 22:49 ABOUT HOW IT WAS SO EXCITING TO BE ON ST.THOMAS HILL OUTSIDE MADRAS
• 22:55 AND TO SEE HOW THIS MOVEMENT BEGAN
• 22:57 WHEN THIS NICE JEWISH BOY BROUGHT THE GOSPEL FROM JERUSALEM TO INDIA
• 23:03 AND THROUGH MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS THE CHURCH WAS BIRTHED IN INDIA,
• 23:08 AND HOW PRECIOUS THAT WAS TO ME AS A NEW JEWISH BELIEVER.
• 23:11 AND AFTER I GAVE THAT TESTIMONY TO A CHURCH OF ABOUT 500-600 PEOPLE
• 23:16 THE ELDER'S WIFE CAME TO ME AND SAID,
• 23:20 YOU KNOW YOU REALLY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE PULPIT.
• 23:24 "I'M SORRY, WHAT DID I DO?"
• 23:26 WELL YOU SAID THAT THOMAS A JEW BUT THOMAS WAS A CHRISTIAN;
• 23:30 HE HAD BEEN A JEW AND HE WAS NOW A CHRISTIAN.
• 23:36 AND I THOUGHT SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE BUT I'M TOO YOUNG TO KNOW WHAT IT IS.
• 23:42 I JUST KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING NOT RIGHT THERE.
• 23:45 BUT YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER THAT
• 23:46 AND WHEN IT REALLY RUNS DEEP IT'S LIKE A GUT PUNCH YOU KNOW?
• 23:50 YOU CAN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT
• 23:52 BUT THERE'S THIS GUT PUNCH OF ANTI-SEMITISM, OF REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY, OF THE FAILURES IN THE HISTORY OF THE CHURCH.
• 23:57 IT ALL GOES LIKE ONE GOOD SHOT IN YOUR GUT AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING'S WRONG
• 24:01 BUT YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT IT IS DO YOU MR. JONES...MR. COHEN?
• 24:05 AND SO I TRIED TO CORRECT IT BUT I COULDN'T IN MY SPIRIT CORRECT IT, YOU KNOW.
• 24:10 THE REALITY IS THAT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
• 24:12 THOMAS WAS A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER IN YESHUA, THE JEWISH MESSIAH.
• 24:17 CALL HIM A CHRISTIAN;
• 24:18 I LOVE THE WAY ZOLA SAID CALL ME WHATEVER YOU WANT.
• 24:21 CALL ME A CHRISTIAN, THAT'S WHAT THEY FIRST CALLED US IN ANTIOCH.
• 24:23 THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
• 24:25 HE WASN'T PUTTING THE EMPHASIS ON THOSE WORDS.
• 24:27 TODAY WE HAVE TO IN A SENSE RECOVER THE LANGUAGE.
• 24:31 I THINK OF THE MESSIANIC MOVEMENT AS A MOVEMENT IN SEARCH OF A LABEL.
• 24:36 YOU KNOW WE REALLY NEED SOME NEW LABELS
• 24:38 BECAUSE EVERYTHING'S BEEN COMPROMISED A LITTLE BIT
• 24:41 IN TERMS OF THE WAY PEOPLE HAVE WROTE REACTIONS TO THESE WORDS "MESSIANIC"
• 24:45 OR "CHRISTIAN" EVEN PER SAY.
• 24:48 SO THERE'S A WAY THAT WE NEED OF APPLYING THIS LANGUAGE TO HELP PEOPLE; TO OPEN THEIR SPIRITS.
• 24:53 BUT THAT WAS A SEMINAL MOMENT FOR ME AS A YOUNG BELIEVER
• 24:57 TO REALIZE THAT THERE WAS THIS SPLIT BETWEEN MY EXPERIENCE
• 25:01 WHICH WAS SOMEWHAT SEAMLESS REGARDING THIS NEW THING THAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME
• 25:06 THAT MY FAMILY WAS SHOCKED BY
• 25:09 BUT THEY WERE BLESSING, THEY WERE GLAD TO SEE ME NOT BE AS CRAZY AS I HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY.
• 25:15 SO AS FAR AS THEY WERE CONCERNED THIS LOOKED LIKE AN OKAY THING
• 25:18 EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ODD AND UNLIKE MANY JEWISH BELIEVERS
• 25:22 WHO COME INTO PERSECUTION BY THEIR FAMILIES.
• 25:24 I DID NOT HAVE THAT TESTIMONY.
• 25:26 IN FACT, MY MOM AND MY SISTER BOTH BECAME BELIEVERS BEFORE THEY LEFT THE PLANET.
• 25:30 AND THAT'S THE ECONOMY OF GOD
• 25:32 THAT YOU FOLLOW HIM AND YOU LISTEN FOR HIM AND HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY.
• 25:37 I THINK THAT'S A WORD FOR SOME OF YOU HERE TODAY.
• 25:39 YOU'RE PRAYING FOR FAMILY, FOR LOVED ONES AND DO NOT GIVE UP.
• 25:43 DO NOT GIVE UP.
• 25:46 AS A MOTHER I KNOW THAT GOD IS FAITHFUL AS WE CONTINUE TO PRAY
• 25:51 AND STAND FOR OUR WHOLE HOUSEHOLD TO BE SAVED.
• 25:55 YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
• 25:56 THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER...YOU SHALL BE SAVED AND YOUR HOUSE.
• 25:58 AND IT'S REALLY A VERY PERSONAL THING.
• 26:01 IT'S REALLY ONE BY ONE
• 26:02 AND GOD IS REACHING INTO THE NATIONS.
• 26:04 HE'S REACHING INTO ISRAEL
• 26:06 BUT WE HAVE TO BELIEVE FOR THAT PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION THAT COMES AS WE SAY "YES" TO YESHUA.
• 26:12 WE'RE WORKING WITH A CHURCH IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
• 26:14 WHERE THEY SAY THAT WHEN WE BEGAN TO PAY ATTENTION TO JEWISH MINISTRY AND TO GIVING TO ISRAEL
• 26:21 WE'VE SEEN INCREASE IN SALVATION,
• 26:23 INCREASE IN THE GROWTH IN NUMBERS IN THE CHURCH.
• 26:26 IT'S BEEN A PHENOMENAL CHANGE THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING
• 26:29 JUST BY MAKING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ISRAEL AND WORLD REVIVAL.
• 26:33 WE NEED TO DO BOTH
• 26:34 AND THAT THE KIND OF TIME THAT WE'RE IN THESE DAYS
• 26:36 IS WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO JERUSALEM WHERE THE LORD IS RETURNING
• 26:40 AND WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE NATIONS
• 26:42 SO THAT THE GOSPEL CAN GO OUT AS YESHUA SAID IT WOULD BEFORE HE RETURNS.
• 26:47 THERE'S A BLESSING IN THAT FOR US ALL.
• 26:50 SO AS WE LEAVE YOU TODAY WE WANT TO REMIND YOU AS WE ALWAYS DO,
• 26:54 SHAL'ALU SHALOM YERUSHALAYIM
• 26:57 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
