Episode: “A Messianic Perspective,” Part 2

Myles encourages Believers to use love and not force to win souls. Accepting Yeshua’s sacrificial gift of salvation does not “convert” Jews to a new religion, rather it means repenting from sin and following God in the way we live.

Series: “Future Congress 2”

Katharine and Myles joined a gathering in Dallas comprising Hal Lindsey, the late Jack Kinsella, Bill Koenig, and other key teachers on prophecy. Experience amazing testimonies, teachings, interviews, and roundtables with Messianic leaders.

Caption transcript for Future Congress 2: “A Messianic Perspective,” Part 2 (5/7)

00:04 BUT THE CALL COMES FROM PETER TO REPENT, TO CHANGE YOUR MIND,
00:07 TO TURN FROM THE WAY YOU'RE THINKING TO A NEW WAY OF THINKING,
00:09 TO CHANGE DIRECTION, TO DO A 180 AS MY KIDS WOULD SAY AND BE CONVERTED.
00:14 CONVERTED INTO A NEW RELIGION?
00:16 NO!CONVERTED FROM YOUR SIN INTO FOLLOWING GOD IN A LIVING WAY.
01:04 SHALOM AND WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.I'M MYLES WEISS.
01:07 AND I'M KATHARINE WEISS.
01:08 WE HAVE A GREAT PROGRAM TODAY.
01:10 WE'RE CONTINUING WITH OUR MESSIANIC PERSPECTIVE.
01:12 WE WERE AT THE FUTURE CONGRESS
01:14 WHERE I WAS ABLE TO BRING A MESSAGE FROM A JEWISH POINT OF VIEW OF THE PROPHETIC TIME THAT WE'RE IN.
01:20 THIS FUTURE CONGRESS WAS FILLED WITH LUMINARIES FROM THE PROPHETIC MOVEMENT.
01:24 HAL LINDSEY WAS THERE, BILL KOENIG, BILL SALUS.
01:27 IN ADDITION TO INTERVIEWS WITH SOME OF THEM,
01:29 I WAS ABLE TO TEACH AS WELL REGARDING THE END TIMES
01:33 AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TOWARDS THE RETURN OF THE COMING OF YESHUA.
01:36 IT WAS A WONDERFUL MESSAGE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BRINGING US BACK THERE.
01:41 THROUGHOUT THE AGES SATAN HAS ATTEMPTED TO WIPE OUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
01:46 BUT GOD, HE'S RESTORED THE PEOPLE TO THE LAND.
01:50 HE'S RESTORED THEM TO HIS PLAN FOR THEM
01:52 THAT HE WOULD SPRINKLE CLEAN WATER ON THEM
01:54 THAT HE WOULD BREATHE HIS BREATH ON THEM
01:56 THAT HE WOULD GIVE THEM A NEW HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT.
01:59 WE'RE SEEING THE JEWISH PEOPLE, THE MESSIANIC PEOPLE COME ALIVE TODAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
02:04 IT IS A SIGN OF THE TIME THAT THE LORD IS COMING SOON.
02:07 THEY COULDN'T WIPE OUT MOSES.
02:09 THEY COULDN'T WIPE OUT JESUS.
02:11 HE LAID HIS LIFE DOWN.
02:13 AND THEY WILL NOT WIPE OUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
02:15 SO LET'S GO NOW AND HEAR MORE FROM MYLES.
02:20 WE NEED TO BE WORKING WITH THE CHURCH TOGETHER AND BE PATIENT WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH
02:26 BECAUSE WE'RE GOING IN TOGETHER.
02:28 THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE HERE COME THE JEWS, SEE YOU LATER.
02:32 IT'S NOT GOING TO BE, HERE COMES THE CHURCH,
02:34 SORRY ABOUT THAT JEWS, BUT YOU CAN COME IF YOU EAT THE HAM SANDWICH.
02:37 NO. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE LIKE THAT.
02:40 THAT DIDN'T WORK.
02:42 THAT WAS THE INQUISITIONS APPROACH.
02:43 IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
02:45 BUT LOVE WILL WORK
02:47 AND ALLOWING FOR DIFFERENCES,
02:49 ALLOWING FOR THE UNIQUE DIFFERENCES AND THE MYRIAD EXPRESSIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE
02:54 AS THE MOST OBSERVANT BELIEVING JEWS, ALL THE WAY TO THE LESS OBSERVANT BELIEVING JEWS LIKE ME
03:00 AND ALL THE EXPRESSIONS IN THE INTERNATIONAL CHURCH.
03:03 THERE'S ROOM FOR ALL OF IT, BUT LET'S NOT FORCE ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING.
03:09 I DON'T WANT TO FORCE THE CHURCH AT LARGE TO COME UNDER OR INTO A LAW OBSERVANCE.
03:15 IF THEY FEEL CONVICTED BY GOD TO BE OBSERVANT IN CERTAIN WAYS, THAT IS BETWEEN THEM AND GOD,
03:21 BUT I'M NOT GOING TO ASK THAT OF THEM.
03:23 CONVERSELY I DON'T WANT TO BE FORCED TO GIVE UP BEING A JEW.
03:28 WHAT A LOSS THAT IS FOR ALL OF US.
03:30 WE'VE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THAT.
03:31 WHAT GOD IS DOING TODAY IS RESTORATION.
03:34 SO NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS SYMMETRY BETWEEN THE TANAKH AND THE BRIT HADASHAH.
03:42 REMEMBER THAT FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE
03:45 OUR EXILE OVER THE CENTURIES SINCE THE TIME OF YESHUA IS TIED TO HIS CRUCIFIXION.
03:52 WE HAVE TO ADMIT THAT OUR SIN CRUCIFIED HIM.YOURS DID TOO.
03:57 BUT WE ARE NOT... WE'RE CULPABLE.
04:02 WE ARE ALSO PART OF THE STORY OF REJECTING AND CRUCIFYING THE LORD.
04:08 THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE CHURCH TOOK THAT ONE PART OF THE STORY
04:11 AND MADE IT THE CAUSE OF CENTURIES OF PERSECUTION.
04:14 BAD IDEA.
04:16 WE SAW FROM ZECHARIAH WHAT A BAD IDEA THAT IS.
04:18 BECAUSE GOD IS ANGRY AT THE NATIONS WHO ARE AT EASE.
04:22 THE COMPLACENCY.
04:23 LET ME JUST DO A LITTLE COMMENTARY ON THAT VERSE.
04:26 THE COMPLACENCY OF THE CHURCH REGARDING WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE THE CHURCH FATHER'S DOCTRINES,
04:32 THE GENTILE CHURCH FATHER'S DOCTRINES,
04:35 AND THE COMPLACENCY AND THE HUBRIS THAT THAT PRODUCED OVER THE CENTURIES,
04:39 THE PRIDE AND THE, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW IT ALL, WE'VE GOT IT ALL
04:43 AND YOU JUST COME HERE LITTLE JEW.
04:45 HERE'S YOUR BOTTLE OF MAYONNAISE AND YOUR ROSARY BEADS AND YOUR HAM SANDWICH.
04:50 COME ON IN AND STOP ALL THAT JEWISH STUFF.
04:53 THAT HUBRIS, THAT PRIDE IN THE FACE OF GOD IS THE NATIONS AT EASE.
04:59 IT IS, WE'VE GOT IT, YOU NEED IT.
05:01 WHAT WAS THAT BUMPER STICKER - I FOUND IT.
05:04 WAS THAT A CHRISTIAN THING OR WAS THAT A CULTIC THING?
05:07 I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS.
05:09 YOU MAY HAVE FOUND IT.
05:10 I THINK HE FOUND YOU.
05:11 HE FOUND ME.
05:13 THE PRIDE THAT LEADS TO THE EMBRACING OF REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY
05:19 AND THE EMBRACING OF DESPISING THE FATHERS IN THE FAITH.
05:23 I HAD THAT SAME REVELATION ABOUT MALACHI WHEN WE WERE PREPARING FOR A RETREAT THAT HAPPENED FOR 3 1/2 DAYS.
05:31 NO, SORRY, 10 DAYS IN SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA.
05:35 TEN DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING.
05:36 AND ALL THE LUMINARIES IN THE BODY CAME TO SPEAK
05:39 AND NO ONE WAS ALLOWED TO SELL ANY PRODUCTS.
05:43 NO ONE WAS ALLOWED TO PITCH THEIR MINISTRY.
05:45 NO ONE WAS ALLOWED TO DO ANY COMMERCIAL WORK AT ALL.
05:49 GOD OPENED A HOLE IN THE HEAVENS FOR US.
05:52 ROSEMARY AND I WERE THERE AND SHE BROUGHT A POLISH SURVIVOR OF THE HOLOCAUST.
05:56 WE STOOD WITH YARIK AND WE TOLD THEM ABOUT THE HISTORY,
06:02 THE THUMBNAIL HISTORY OF THE RESTORATION OF ISRAEL AND THE CHURCH AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO.
06:07 THE ARAB PALESTINIANS CAME UP AND SAID WHAT ABOUT US.
06:10 WE BROUGHT THEM UP ON THE STAGE AND WE DID A ONE NEW-MAN-THING.
06:13 THIS WAS BACK IN 2002.
06:16 FOR 10 DAYS PEOPLE WHOSE NAMES YOU WOULD RECOGNIZE THAT YOU KNOW VERY WELL WERE THERE
06:21 AND NONE OF THEM WERE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES.
06:24 IT WAS COMPLETELY VERTICAL.
06:26 IT WAS A VERTICAL CALL AND BIRTHED A CHURCH THAT IS NOW CALLED "VERTICAL CALL".
06:30 IN THAT SEASON, WHEN WE WERE PREPARING,
06:35 WE WERE SITTING ON A PARK BENCH, KATHARINE AND MYSELF AND ANOTHER JEWISH COUPLE,
06:39 AND GOD JUST DROPPED MALACHI, CHAPTER 4 OUT OF THE HEAVENS ON ME AND HE SAID,
06:44 THIS IS THE FATHERS IN THE FAITH AND THE CHILDREN IN THE FAITH.
06:48 NOW I HAD ALWAYS USED THAT AS A COUNSELING SCRIPTURE.
06:51 I HAD ALWAYS USED THE RESTORATION OF FAMILIES -
06:53 THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN,
06:56 THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN TO THE FATHERS.
06:58 IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF HOW WE'RE TO PARENT
07:00 AND HAS WITHIN IT ALL KINDS OF GREAT HEBRAISMS
07:03 ABOUT THE EMOTIONAL LIFE OF A FATHER AND A SON, A MOTHER AND A DAUGHTER.
07:08 IT'S ALL IN THERE.
07:10 BUT I HAD NEVER SEEN...THIS WAS A NEW THING FOR ME.
07:12 I HAD NEVER SEEN THAT THIS WAS A NEW THING
07:15 WHERE FINALLY THE DAVID RUBINS OF THE WORLD,
07:18 THE ORTHODOX, THE OBSERVANT JEWS, THE JEWS AT LARGE, THE JEWISH PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
07:24 WERE LOOKING AT THE NOTSRIM, AT THE WATCHMEN,
07:27 AT THE SHOOTS THAT HAVE COME UP FROM THE OLD OLIVE TREE.
07:31 AND WE'RE LOOKING IN A NEW WAY AT THE CHILDREN IN THE FAITH, THE CHRISTIANS,
07:36 AND WELCOMING, AND BLESSING, AND OPENING IN A WAY THAT HAD NEVER HAPPENED IN HISTORY.
07:42 WE WERE IN A NEW SEASON.
07:44 THAT'S THE SEASON THAT WE'RE IN NOW.
07:46 NOW WHEN YOU GO TO ISRAEL YOU DON'T SAY, AH, THE NOTSRIM ARE HERE.
07:50 WHEN THEY DO SOMEONE ELSE WILL CORRECT THEM
07:52 AND THEY'LL COME AROUND TO SAYING, AH, THE NOTSRIM ARE HERE. THE SHOOTS ARE HERE.
07:58 THE ONES THAT GROW UP TO SUPPORT THE OLD OLIVE TREE ARE HERE.
08:01 I'LL SPEAK ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT.
08:03 I NEVER GET TIRED OF THE STORY OF THE OLIVE TREE.
08:06 THANK GOD FOR ISRAEL WHO CARRIED THE BURDEN OF REJECTING THE LORD SO THE GOSPEL COULD GO OUT,
08:12 SO THE NATIONS COULD COME IN,
08:14 SO GOD IN HIS ELEGANCE,
08:17 THE MATH OF HIS SALVATION ELEGANCE COULD BRING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD INTO THE LIFE OF JESUS, THE LIFE OF YESHUA.
08:24 WE DID IT IN IGNORANCE AND THAT'S WHAT PETER SPOKE TO THE JEWS ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST.
08:29 HE SAID, YOU MEN OF ISRAEL, YOU DID THIS IN IGNORANCE.
08:32 THEN IT GETS REPEATED.
08:35 WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WE WERE DOING.
08:37 THAT'S WHY WE HEARD, FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
08:41 IT HAD TO HAPPEN.
08:44 HE WILLINGLY LAID DOWN HIS LIFE.
08:46 IT HAD TO HAPPEN.
08:48 BUT THE CALL COMES FROM PETER TO REPENT, TO CHANGE YOUR MIND,
08:51 TO TURN FROM THE WAY YOU'RE THINKING TO A NEW WAY OF THINKING,
08:54 TO CHANGE DIRECTION, TO DO A 180 AS MY KIDS WOULD SAY AND BE CONVERTED.
08:59 CONVERTED INTO A NEW RELIGION?
09:01 NO!CONVERTED FROM YOUR SIN INTO FOLLOW GOD IN A LIVING WAY.
09:08 MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY BACK IN NEW YORK WOULD SAY, WELL YOU CONVERTED.
09:14 I SAID, YEAH, BUT I DIDN'T CONVERT FROM BEING A JEW.
09:16 IT'S NOT A SIN TO BE A JEW.
09:18 OH, WHAT'D YOU DO THEN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
09:21 WELL, I'M FOLLOWING THE JEWISH MESSIAH.
09:24 OH, WELL, THEN YOU GET INTO THE WHOLE DISCUSSION OF WHO IS JESUS.RIGHT?
09:29 THE FACT IS THAT REPENT TO BE CONVERTED WAS MISUNDERSTOOD BY LARGELY GENTILE CHURCH OVER THE CENTURIES.
09:37 IT DID NOT MEAN WHAT IT CAME TO MEAN.
09:39 IN FACT, REPENT TO BE CONVERTED IS A VERY PERSONAL TURNING FROM ONE WAY OF LIVING TO ANOTHER WAY OF LIVING.
09:44 YOU KNOW, IF YOU'VE HAD THAT EFFECT IN YOUR LIFE,
09:47 THAT IT CAN BE PRETTY DRAMATIC AND PRETTY RADICAL AND PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU LIKE, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
09:52 THAT'S THE TESTIMONY THAT MANY OF US HAVE IS, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU AND IS IT STILL HAPPENING?
09:57 IT'S PART OF THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.WHY?
10:00 BECAUSE GOD'S KINGDOM IS AN EVER INCREASING KINGDOM.
10:04 SO IT EXILES FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
10:07 RESTORATION IS LOOKING TOWARDS ETERNITY.
10:10 WE'LL SEE THIS NOW.
10:13 WHEN SPIRITUAL RECOVERY OF ALL THINGS HAPPENS,
10:16 GOD IS GOING TO BRING YESHUA AND SET UP THE MESSIANIC KINGDOM FOR 1,000 YEARS HERE
10:23 AND IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AS THE JEWISH PEOPLE SAY BARUCH HABA B'SHEM ADONAI.
10:28 WE'RE SEEING THAT HAPPEN.
10:31 THE FIRST STEP IS THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT IN THE 1800S,
10:35 BUT THE STEP THAT WE'RE SEEING NOW IS THIS PERSONAL WELCOMING OF THE NOTSRIM.
10:40 BECAUSE YOU ARE CARRYING THE LIFE OF GOD IN YOU.
10:44 YOU'RE CARRYING THE SPIRIT OF YESHUA WITH YOU.
10:46 YOU'RE CARRYING THE RUACH HAKODESH.
10:49 SO WHEN JEWISH PEOPLE HEAR YOU SAY, I'M SO SORRY FOR WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO YOU
10:54 AND BY THE WAY I LOVE YOU
10:56 AND BY THE WAY HERE'S HOW I WANT TO HELP YOU IN A PRACTICAL WAY
11:00 AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT YOU DO BECAUSE YOU LOVE ISRAEL AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
11:04 AS YOU DO THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME THEY'RE BEGINNING TO SAY BY WELCOMING YOU
11:09 WE'RE HEARING THE OFF SHORE BREEZES OF BARUCH HABA B'SHEM ADONAI.
11:14 WE'RE WELCOMING JESUS IN YOU FIRST SO THAT WE CAN SEE HIM IN THE SKY.
11:21 WE CAN SEE HIM MORE AND MORE
11:23 AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE STAY IN CONTACT WITH THE JEWISH COMMUNITY
11:28 AND THAT WE CONTINUE TO VISIT ISRAEL AND TO MIX IT UP WITH THE JEWS IN ISRAEL ESPECIALLY.

14:13 WE'RE GOING TO GO NOW BACK TO HEAR MORE FROM MYLES ABOUT THE MESSIANIC PERSPECTIVE.
14:20 SO LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EXILE TAKES PLACE.
14:26 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE'S A TEMPORARY CURSING BY GOD,
14:31 A TEMPORARY (LET'S NOT SAY CURSING)
14:32 A TEMPORARY CHASTISEMENT AND CORRECTION BY GOD OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
14:37 THE FIRST THING THAT TAKES PLACE
14:39 IS THAT THERE'S A DIMINISHING OF AUTHORITY AND POWER IN A MILITARY AND ECONOMIC WAY.
14:45 WE SEE THAT THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL.
14:47 WE SEE IT DURING THE TIME OF JONAH.
14:49 YOU KNOW JONAH'S PREACHING TRANSFORMED THE MIDDLE EAST FOR 100 YEARS.
14:54 FOR 100 YEARS THE RELUCTANT PROPHET,
14:58 HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO NINEVEH
15:00 BECAUSE OF THE TESTIMONY OF NINEVEH AND THE WAY THEY HAD TREATED HIS PEOPLE.
15:05 HE REALLY WAS, NO THANK YOU, THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE'S JOB.
15:09 SO I TELL PEOPLE WHEN GOD OPENS A DOOR THAT'S THE LAST SIGN THAT HE'S WITH YOU
15:14 BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE OTHER ONE'S FIRST.
15:17 THE SPIRITUAL SAFETY.
15:19 DOES IT VIOLATE THE WORD OF GOD?
15:21 DOES A MULTITUDE OF COUNSEL AGREE?
15:22 DOES YOUR SPIRIT BEAR WITNESS WITH HIS SPIRIT?
15:25 DOES PROVEN OVERSIGHT MINISTRY AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
15:29 AND FINALLY IS GOD OPENING OR CLOSING A DOOR?
15:31 THERE ARE FIVE WAYS TO KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE IN THE WILL OF GOD.
15:34 THE MOST DANGEROUS ONE IS WHEN THE TICKET IS THERE FOR THE BOAT
15:37 BECAUSE THAT COULD BE GOD PULLING A FAST ONE ON YOU.
15:39 AND HE DOES.HE CAN.
15:41 THE REALITY IS THAT GOD WAS GOING TO COMPLETE HIS PURPOSES IN JONAH'S LIFE
15:45 AND THE FRUIT OF IT WAS 100 YEARS OF TRANSFORMATION.
15:49 SO MUCH SO THAT DURING THE EXILE NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS SPOKEN OF IN JEREMIAH 27:6,
15:56 NEBUCHADNEZZAR IS SPOKEN OF AS MY SERVANT.
15:59 HERE IS A VIOLENT, EVIL KING WHO GOD IS USING AS A TYPE OF A KINGLY RULER
16:06 BECAUSE HE'S TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING TO US ABOUT KINGDOM AND ABOUT KINGDOM LIFE.
16:11 THE SAME THING ABOUT CYRUS IN ISAIAH 45, VERSES 1 AND 2.
16:15 BEHOLD CYRUS, MY SERVANT...
16:18 I'M GOING TO USE HIM TO OPEN THE DOORS,
16:21 TO CUT THROUGH THE BARS OF IRON,
16:23 TO BRING TREASURES OUT OF DARKNESS.
16:25 I'M GOING TO USE HIM.
16:26 HE IS MY ANOINTED.
16:28 HE IS MY KORESH.
16:29 HE IS MY CYRUS.
16:30 HE BELONGS TO ME.
16:32 EVEN THOUGH HE MAY BE A KING IN THE WORLDLY SENSE, A SECULAR KING,
16:36 I'M GOING TO USE HIM TO COMPLETE MY BIGGER PURPOSES
16:39 AND BY THE WAY I'M ALSO GOING TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT KINGDOM AUTHORITY.
16:44 SO WHETHER WE'RE IN THE EXILE OR IN THE KINGDOM, IN THE LAND, GOD IS SPEAKING ABOUT KINGDOM.
16:50 NOW FOR US AS WESTERNERS, AS AMERICANS, IT'S A VERY STRANGE CONCEPT.
16:56 WE REALLY BELIEVE IN OUR IMAGINATION ABOUT DEMOCRACY. [CHUCKLES]
17:01 I'LL SAY THAT AGAIN.
17:02 WE BELIEVE IN OUR IMAGINATION ABOUT DEMOCRACY
17:04 THAT ONE MAN, ONE VOTE, AND ONE WOMAN, ONE VOTE,
17:08 AND THAT SOMEHOW WE CAN GET THINGS DONE GOD'S WAY THAT WAY.
17:13 IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.
17:14 HE'S KING.HE'S THE ONLY KING THAT I WOULD REALLY BE WILLING TO SERVE.
17:18 THE VERY WORDS FOR EXILE AND REDEMPTION IN THE HEBREW ARE SIMILAR IN THEIR SOUND.
17:24 THE WORD FOR EXILE IS GALUT
17:27 AND IT'S ALMOST EXACT EXCEPT FOR ONE LETTER CHANGE
17:30 GAULA IS THE WORD FOR REDEMPTION.
17:33 AND THEY'RE SO CLOSELY CONNECTED
17:35 AND GOD AGAIN IN HIS ELEGANCE IS SPEAKING TO US ABOUT
17:40 JUST AS HE CAN SEND US AWAY FROM WHAT HE'S DOING
17:43 HE CAN BRING US BACK INTO WHAT HE IS DOING.
17:45 IN FACT IN THE ENGLISH WORD, YOU BIG GALOOT, IT COMES FROM THE HEBREW.
17:49 THAT IS THE HEBREW FOR AN EXILE,
17:51 FOR SOMEONE WHO'S AWAY FROM THE THINGS OF GOD, SOMEONE WHO'S A BUM- YOU BIG GALOOT.
17:57 IT'S A HEBREW WORD.
17:59 THE PATTERN IS THAT THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS IN THE TIMES OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR,
18:05 IN THE TIMES OF CYRUS,
18:06 IN THE TIMES OF JEREMIAH,
18:07 IN THE TIME OF JONAH,
18:09 IN THE TIME OF ALL THE EXILED PROPHETS
18:11 THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS IS THAT THERE'S A LOSS OF MILITARY POWER AMONG ISRAEL, FOR ISRAEL.
18:17 THERE IS A LOSS AND THE STRENGTH TO OCCUPY WHAT BELONGS TO THEM IS EBBING AWAY.
18:23 THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BOUNDARIES ARE MADE SMALLER IN THE LAND.
18:28 FOLLOWING DEFEAT THE BOUNDARIES ARE MADE SMALLER.
18:31 EVENTUALLY THE LAND IS DIVIDED INTO.
18:35 WE SEE THAT IN THE DIVISION OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH.
18:40 AND FINALLY EXILE COMES, FULL EXILE, AND WE'RE SENT OUT OF THE LAND.
18:45 THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE GOD REVERSES THE PATTERN EXACTLY FOR KINGDOM, FOR RESTORATION.
18:53 JUST AS WE GO IN THAT DIRECTION BY THOSE MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS VIRTUALLY
18:59 HE DOES THE SAME THING WHEN HE'S BRINGING US INTO RESTORATION.
19:03 HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
19:04 THE RETURN FROM EXILE STARTS IN THE MODERN ERA SAY IN 1881
19:09 ROUGHLY WITH THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT IN EUROPE
19:12 WITH HERZL'S AWAKENING WHEN HE SAY THE DREYFUS TRAIL
19:16 HE REALIZED THAT JEWS WERE GOING TO BE PERSECUTED UNJUSTLY AND WE NEEDED OUR HOMELAND BACK.
19:21 SO THE MODERN ZIONIST MOVEMENT BEGAN.
19:25 BY THE WAY, IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER
19:28 THAT HERZL COULD NOT GET A HEARING IN THE HALLS OF THE KINGS IN EUROPE HAD HE NOT BEEN WALKING WITH A CHRISTIAN PASTOR.
19:36 PASTER HECKLER WAS WITH HIM.
19:40 SO FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS RESTORATION THERE WAS A ONE-NEW-MAN EFFORT TO RESTORE ISRAEL, TO BRING ISRAEL BACK.
19:50 THE RETURN FROM THE EXILE BEGAN.
19:53 THE LAND BEGAN TO INCREASE WITH THE BRITISH MANDATE, WITH THE LAWS THAT WERE SET INTO PLACE BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
20:01 THERE WAS A BEGINNING OF INCREASE.
20:02 HALF OF THE NATION WAS RESTORED IN 1947 AND 1948.
20:07 JUST AS HALF HAD BEEN LOST, HALF WAS RESTORED IN THAT FIRST RESTORATION.
20:12 THEN THEY HAD A PERIOD OF MILITARY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH.
20:16 JUST AS WE WENT AWAY IN THE GALUT, SO WE COME BACK AND IN THE GALUA.
20:22 WE COME BACK UP AND IN.
20:24 MILITARY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH BEGAN IN 1948, 1967, 1973 AND INTO THE PRESENT
20:30 WITH THE INCREASE OF BATTLES AND THE INEVITABILITY OF MILITARY ISSUES.
20:36 WE CAN'T AVOID THAT.
20:37 THE REALITY IS WHEN YOU'RE ATTACKED YOU NEED TO FIGHT BACK.
20:40 GOD INCREASED AND HE RESTORED THE LAND.
20:43 FIRST BY ONE-HALF AND NOW HE'S RESTORING IT ALL THE WAY.
20:47 HE'S ON HIS WAY TO RESTORING WHAT'S BEEN CALLED GREATER ISRAEL.
20:51 NO MATTER WHAT WE HEAR ON CNN AND WHAT WE SEE IN THE HEADLINE NEWS,
20:56 THE REALITY IS THAT GOD IS GOING TO DO WHAT HE SAID HE'S GOING TO DO.
21:02 IT'S INTIMATELY CONNECTED TO THE KING WHO RULES THE KINGDOM.
21:08 BECAUSE THE FINAL RESTORATION IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL WE SAY BARUCH HABA B'SHEM ADONAI.
21:17 AND JUST AS WE WERE SENT AWAY IN THAT GALUT PATTERN BY TURNING FROM THE KING
21:24 SO WE ARE RESTORED IN THE PATTERN EXACTLY AS GOD DOES IT IN THE SCRIPTURE
21:29 AND THE WAY HE DID IT IN THE ANCIENT WORLD HE'S DOING IT IN THE MODERN WORLD.
21:34 AND HE'S GOING TO BRING IT ALL THE WAY IN SO THAT IT'S BEGINNING WITH THE GOSPEL
21:38 AND NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 1900 YEARS THE GOSPEL IS GOING FORTH FROM JERUSALEM.
21:44 I LOVE TO SPEAK ABOUT GALTRONICS AND THEIR SPINOFF MEGAVOICE.
21:49 IT'S A MESSIANIC COMPANY
21:50 THAT HAS CREATED A POCKET SIZED, SOLAR-POWERED, WATERPROOF AUDIO BIBLE
21:57 IN THE LANGUAGES OF THE UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS OF THE WORLD.
22:00 THE LAW WILL GO FORTH FROM ZION AND THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM YERUSHALAYIM.
22:05 AND IT'S HAPPENING TODAY.
22:06 AND THE UNREACHED PEOPLE GROUPS DON'T HAVE TO WAIT TEN YEARS
22:09 FOR A TRANSLATOR TO FIND THEIR LANGUAGE AND CREATE A WRITTEN WORD FOR THEM.
22:13 THEY CAN HAVE IT ON A SOLAR-POWERED AUDIO BIBLE THAT IS FREE TO THEM.
22:19 AND IT'S COMING THROUGH THE MESSIANIC BODY.
22:22 SO LET ME JUST FINISH WITH THIS.
22:24 THE MESSIANIC BODY IN ISRAEL IS THE FIRST FRUITS OF THE FULL REDEMPTION OF ISRAEL.
22:30 MAYBE THE MOST HATED PEOPLE GROUP ON EARTH.
22:34 IT'S HARD TO SAY.
22:35 THAT'S WHAT RON CANTOR SAYS.
22:37 BUT THE REALITY IS THEY REPRESENT THE FIRST FRUITS OF THE FULL RESTORATION THAT'S COMING.
22:43 BECAUSE AS THEY ARE THERE THEY ARE THE LEAVEN,
22:47 THE GOOD LEAVEN THAT LEAVENS THE WHOLE LUMP.
22:50 AND THEY ARE STANDING AS A PLACE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR ALL OF ISRAEL AS A FIRST FRUITS
22:56 LOOKING FOR THE FULL CONQUEST BY THE KING.
22:59 NOW WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT CONTINUE.
23:01 THERE WILL BE MORE AND MORE SALVATIONS IN ISRAEL.
23:04 THERE WILL BE MORE AND MORE TROUBLE THAT COMES WITH IT.
23:06 THERE WILL BE MORE AND MORE POLITICKING AROUND IT.
23:08 BUT GOD IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO RAISE HIS BODY OF JEWS AND GENTILES IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL
23:15 WHO ARE BELIEVERS WHO ARE STANDING FOR THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL.
23:19 THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE
23:20 UNTIL THERE'S A HUMAN CRY THAT SAYS BARUCH HABA B'SHEM ADONAI.
23:24 HE'S GOING TO COME AND ESTABLISH A 1,000 YEAR REIGN IN JERUSALEM THAT WE WILL BE PART OF.AMEN?
23:31 AMEN.
24:19 I HOPE YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS MESSAGE
24:20 THAT GOD'S KINGDOM IS AN EVER INCREASING KINGDOM
24:24 AND IT REALLY TAKES PLACE IN OUR DIMENSION
24:27 WHEN HE RETURNS AND ESTABLISHES THE MILLENNIAL REIGN.
24:30 RIGHT NOW HE'S IN HEAVEN.
24:32 LISTEN TO ACTS 3:21.
24:44 YOU SEE THIS IS A WORD THAT BEGINS WITH YESHUA AND IT CULMINATES WITH YESHUA.
24:48 JUST AS THE ISRAELIS WERE TAKEN OUT OF THE LAND AND WENT TO DIMINISHING,
24:52 NOW THEY'VE BEEN RESTORED
24:53 AND IT'S BUILDING AND BUILDING
24:55 UNTIL WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE COMING OF THE LORD.
24:57 YEAH
24:58 IT'S AWESOME.
25:00 IT'S AMAZING, PROPHETIC TIMETABLE THAT WE'RE IN.
25:02 WE'RE IN THE TIMES OF REFRESHING
25:04 AND THE TIME OF RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.
25:07 GOD IS POURING OUT OF HIS SPIRIT ON THE WHOLE EARTH BECAUSE HE'S GETTING US READY.
25:11 HE WANTS US TO BE AWAKE.
25:13 HE WANTS US TO BE ALERT.
25:14 HE WANTS US TO BE READY.
25:15 HE WANTS US TO BE ON HIS PAGE WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD.
25:18 THIS WHOLE BIBLE IS ONE BOOK.
25:22 IT'S NOT JUST BAD OLD TESTAMENT GOD,
25:24 GOOD NEW TESTAMENT GOD.
25:26 THAT'S GOOD.
25:27 IT'S ONE WHOLE STORY.
25:29 I LOVE THAT.
25:30 I HEARD ONE PREACHER SAY FROM GENESIS TO MAPS.
25:32 REALLY IT TAKES THE WHOLE STORY INCLUDING THE LAND, INCLUDING THE MAPS.
25:37 THE RESTORATION IS INCLUDING THIS LITTLE PLACE CALLED ISRAEL
25:41 THAT WILL BECOME EVEN BIGGER IN THE FUTURE.
25:43 AND BECAUSE OF YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS WE'RE ABLE TO BRING YOU THE MESSIANIC PERSPECTIVE
25:48 OF THE END TIMES THAT WE'RE STANDING IN.
25:51 ALSO THE REVELATION THAT WE NEED TO KNOW THAT WE'RE CONNECTED TO A ROOT.
25:56 WE'RE CONNECTED TO SOMETHING.
25:58 THE CHURCH JUST DIDN'T GET BIRTHED 2,000 YEARS AGO.
26:02 WE CAME FROM SOMEONE.
26:04 WE CAME FROM YESHUA.
26:06 WE CAME OBVIOUSLY FROM ABRAHAM, LIKE YOU SAID.
26:08 WE'RE A 4,000 YEAR OLD STORY.
26:11 YEAH, IT'S REALLY TRUE THAT THERE'S A MESSAGE HERE
26:14 FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO KNOW OUR MESSIAH AND FOR THE CHURCH TO KNOW THERE JEWISH ROOTS.
26:20 WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR GIFTS OF FUNDS.
26:22 WE CAN NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR HELP.
26:25 SO WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR STANDING WITH US FOR HELPING US TO GO.

26:40 AND WE SAY THIS WITH SINCERITY
26:42 AND LET YOU KNOW THERE'S A BLESSING IN THIS FOR YOU.
26:44 PSALM 122, VERSE 6 SAYS TO PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM
26:48 BECAUSE YOU'LL PROSPER, YOU WILL BE WELL, YOU'LL INCREASE WHEN YOU DO THAT.
26:53 SO WE WANT TO REMIND YOU
