Caption transcript for Rebuilding the Ruined Cities: “The Diaspora” (8/12)

• 00:10 Joshua Colson: Replacement theology is a deadly beast that
• 00:13 most people associate with teachings in Christian
• 00:15 denominations that declare God has replaced the Jews in his
• 00:19 covenant promises, and the church is now the recipient.
• 00:32 Caleb Colson: Obviously replacement theology is false,
• 00:34 but it still abounds in different non-religious circles,
• 00:37 and is gaining traction lately with people who believe and
• 00:40 teach that the Jews in Israel today are not biblical Jews, but
• 00:44 European impostors.
• 00:46 Thus, they must be replaced with Palestinians.
• 00:49 Now, we're going to dispel that myth today.
• 00:53 Caleb: Deuteronomy 28:64-66, "Then the Lord will scatter you
• 00:58 among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other, and
• 01:01 there you shall serve other gods, which neither you nor your
• 01:04 fathers have known-- wood and stone.
• 01:06 And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall
• 01:09 the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there the
• 01:12 Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and anguish
• 01:16 of soul.
• 01:17 Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day
• 01:21 and night, and have no assurance of life."
• 01:24 male: Okay, this was her store.
• 01:25 We're still here.
• 01:27 And we hear from our neighbors, "She was kidnapped, he
• 01:30 was kidnapped."
• 01:31 Others say, "They are slaughtering us."
• 01:34 I didn't understand because we saw nothing.
• 01:36 We were closed in the safe room.
• 01:38 And we know--we are told that if we want to lock the door, we
• 01:44 have to lift the handle upwards.
• 01:48 So, we closed the door, and we lock it, and now we're sitting
• 01:56 safe inside.
• 01:57 The window is closed, the door is closed, it's locked.
• 02:00 No one can enter.
• 02:02 And then we hear dragging furniture, a loud noise of
• 02:10 furniture dragging here and upstairs.
• 02:12 And we write to our neighbors, "Tell the army, the IDF, when
• 02:17 they're coming, this house maybe is a booby trapped.
• 02:21 Maybe they have positions upstairs with machine guns.
• 02:25 They will be waiting for you.
• 02:26 Tell them to be careful not to run inside."
• 02:30 Later, I know that they did these things in other houses, in
• 02:35 many houses, and a lot of soldiers were wounded or killed
• 02:42 when they were running, and then they didn't see the dozens or
• 02:47 hundreds of terrorists waiting all around them.
• 02:51 Caleb: We're here in Kibbutz Be‘eri.
• 02:54 We've been given special permission to film on this block
• 02:58 by the man who was just allowing us to go on the tour with him.
• 03:02 As you have seen from most of the footage, they have not
• 03:06 rebuilt the city yet.
• 03:08 In fact, not very many of the community has returned.
• 03:11 So many are months away from returning, so we want to show
• 03:15 you, and they want to show the world, what it still looks like
• 03:19 in their community in the aftermath of the attack because
• 03:24 this facility, as we were explained to, was held in
• 03:28 captivity, if you will, by Hamas for quite some time.
• 03:33 It took more time to clear this out than they thought it would
• 03:39 because there's so many, you know, bunkers and places for
• 03:43 them to hide, that the IDF had great difficulty finding them
• 03:50 all and killing them and clearing them out.
• 03:54 After the supernatural return of the Jews from exile from the
• 03:58 galut, you would've thought that it was all happiness, roses, a
• 04:02 good story.
• 04:04 I mean, Cyrus released them, they were allowed to go back and
• 04:07 rebuild, and by the time you thought Yeshua would come
• 04:11 around, it would have been a peaceful time, but it
• 04:16 actually wasn't.
• 04:18 It was actually time wrought with danger and persecution.
• 04:23 Here we are in the bunker.
• 04:25 This bunker saved the lives of the entire household that lived
• 04:29 here, the man who was just taking us on a tour, they had to
• 04:32 stay here, and it was because the terrorists couldn't
• 04:35 understand how to use the door handle is how they were saved.
• 04:39 But like I said, the Jews have had difficult time throughout
• 04:43 history, and up until the time of Yeshua, there was captivity,
• 04:48 and bondage, and release, and freedom, and it was just going
• 04:50 back and forth, back and forth, and in an emotional roller
• 04:55 coaster, if you will, of freedom to the captives.
• 04:58 Joshua: Obviously, we know that there were three main Diasporas
• 05:01 that everybody in history focuses these exiles into: the
• 05:05 first one being when Assyria struck the ten tribes, the
• 05:09 second one being--from Samaria--the second one being
• 05:13 when Judea was taken captive by Babylon, and of course, the
• 05:18 third, the Romans in the 70 AD.
• 05:20 This is obviously a very broad scope of these things and gets
• 05:23 way more detail--we don't have the hours to describe all the
• 05:25 details of everything that happened.
• 05:27 Caleb: But even before and between all those Diasporas,
• 05:31 during the conflict between the Persians and the Greeks, the
• 05:34 Jews were being scattered, they were being resettled all
• 05:36 around here.
• 05:37 They were finding homes in places like Egypt, in North
• 05:40 Africa, and Asia Minor, even going back to Babylon.
• 05:44 In fact, many of the captives that were left in Babylon and
• 05:48 Persia decided not to return back to Judea.
• 05:51 They had become wealthy, they had become comfortable in their
• 05:54 living environment, and they didn't want to return.
• 05:56 And when it comes to the ten tribes of Israel that were
• 06:00 scattered before that with the Assyrian Empire, a small
• 06:03 fraction did return, but a lot of them liked to stay in the
• 06:06 further reaches of Russia and all around the world where they
• 06:08 were scattered.
• 06:12 Joshua: Matthew 24:1-2, "Then Jesus went out and departed from
• 06:16 the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the
• 06:19 buildings of the temple.
• 06:20 And Jesus said to them, 'Do you not see all these things?
• 06:24 Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon
• 06:28 another, that shall not be thrown down.'"
• 06:31 Caleb: You can see the bullet holes here in the window clearly
• 06:35 left behind as a reminder to anyone who comes in and views
• 06:39 this property of the acts of terrorism that were here.
• 06:43 You know, Yeshua grew up in one of the most tumultuous times
• 06:45 in history.
• 06:47 The Roman Empire had taken over most of the known world.
• 06:52 From the time that they return from exile, up in the time of
• 06:56 Yeshua, there's 500 years of really tumultuous history.
• 07:00 There was up and down, up and down, and persecution, and
• 07:03 bondage like I had mentioned, and the Jews were waiting for
• 07:07 a deliverer.
• 07:09 They were waiting for someone like Cyrus to come again and
• 07:13 deliver them from captivity from the bondage of the Romans.
• 07:16 Joshua: Yeshua was the Lamb of God to take on the sins of the
• 07:20 world after living a perfect life.
• 07:22 You know the story well, he lived a perfect life, he died,
• 07:25 was resurrected, rose again, went up to sit on the right-hand
• 07:29 side of the Father, and as these new believers, these new
• 07:31 Christians began to go across and begin to witness, this
• 07:35 became a problem because the Romans were still there and the
• 07:37 Romans were still very much against them.
• 07:39 Now the religious Jews at this time, they continued to get more
• 07:41 and more greedy because they got money from the benefactors that
• 07:44 wanted to keep their thumb on Christianity, and so uprising
• 07:48 after uprising, attempting to throw off the yoke of the
• 07:51 Romans continued to prove unsuccessful.
• 07:54 Caleb: Now, there was a vying for power, even after Yeshua's
• 08:00 time, he went up to heaven.
• 08:02 The Jews kept on trying many revolts, time and time after
• 08:05 again to gain their freedom.
• 08:07 During the time of 66 AD and 135 AD were the time of the
• 08:13 Jewish wars.
• 08:14 Now during this time, the Jews were led by many rebels,
• 08:19 campaigns to try to throw off the Roman yoke.
• 08:23 We know that there was one named Josephus who was a
• 08:27 Jewish historian.
• 08:28 He himself was a leader of a Jewish revolt, but his whole
• 08:33 group, his squadron, if you will, committed suicide.
• 08:36 He was supposed to also, but he didn't, he ended up surrendering
• 08:38 to the Romans.
• 08:40 And when he surrendered to the Romans, he ended up gaining
• 08:43 their favor.
• 08:44 He became a Roman citizen.
• 08:46 He gained the favor of Vespasian.
• 08:48 And as being a Roman citizen, he had the opportunity to go in
• 08:52 when the Romans were conquering Jerusalem in 70 AD, and he is
• 08:56 the eyewitness account we have to chronicle every event with
• 09:01 specificity of what happened to the Jews.
• 09:04 So I'd like to read to you from the book of Josephus,
• 09:07 "Antiquities of the Jews," because he explains that during
• 09:09 this time that the Jews were about to have the second temple
• 09:13 destroyed, they were about to have the city destroyed, that
• 09:17 God gave warning signs to try to get them to turn back to him,
• 09:22 warning signs to even escape, but they failed to notice him.
• 09:27 So here, Josephus, "Wars of the Jews" book 6, chapter 5, he
• 09:32 writes, "Thus there was a star resembling a sword, which stood
• 09:35 over the city, and a comet that continued a whole year."
• 09:40 That was the first sign Josephus declared that God warned the
• 09:43 Jews that judgment was coming and there's gonna be destruction
• 09:45 coming to Jerusalem.
• 09:47 We're actually here right now, the fence is right here.
• 09:49 The border, to Gaza is not far from here.
• 09:52 We're hearing explosions because of the campaign in Gaza is
• 09:55 still ongoing.
• 09:56 As you see the signs behind me, these were the people who were
• 10:01 kidnapped from this facility, and we heard a few of them have
• 10:04 returned since then.
• 10:06 But there were more signs that God warned the Jews that
• 10:09 destruction was coming.
• 10:11 Joshua: Sign number two, Josephus mentions that at the
• 10:13 last Passover there was a bright light that enveloped the altar
• 10:18 and the temple, and that for 30 minutes outside, even though it
• 10:21 was night, that bright light could be seen.
• 10:22 Caleb: That's right.
• 10:24 Now sign three was actually rather interesting.
• 10:29 This still took place during Pesach, the feast of Passover,
• 10:34 and during that time there was a heifer that was being led
• 10:38 to sacrifice.
• 10:40 And while this heifer was being led to be sacrificed, she gave
• 10:44 birth, imagine that.
• 10:46 She apparently gave birth to a lamb.
• 10:48 I know that sounds bizarre, this is what the historian Josephus
• 10:51 declares as a sign from God that doom was coming.
• 10:56 Joshua: Sign number four, the eastern gate opened by itself.
• 10:59 Now this was known to be a very heavy gate, possibly made of
• 11:01 brass, and normally took 20 men to open, opened by itself.
• 11:06 Caleb: Sign number five, I'd like to read this, is several
• 11:08 days after Pesach at sunset, Josephus declares, "Before
• 11:12 sunsetting, chariots and troops of soldiers in their armor were
• 11:16 seen running about among the clouds and the surrounding of
• 11:19 the cities."
• 11:21 Joshua: Sign six is also a quote.
• 11:22 During Shavuot Pentecost, an earthquake came, and quote says,
• 11:26 "It sound as if a great multitude saying, 'Let us
• 11:29 remove hence.'"
• 11:31 Caleb: Now the final sign, the seventh sign, it's
• 11:34 really interesting.
• 11:35 There apparently was a prophet, if you will, a man named Jesus,
• 11:40 son of Ananias, and for four years this prophet went about
• 11:44 the city of Jerusalem crying out, "Woe, woe to Jerusalem,
• 11:48 woe, woe, to the city."
• 11:51 He never stopped, day and night.
• 11:53 They persecuted this man, they beat him, they tortured him.
• 11:57 He never slept, he just cried out, day or night.
• 12:00 This is interesting how this story ends, because when the
• 12:03 siege of Jerusalem came--from the Romans were, you know,
• 12:08 catapulting the city and they were attacking, this man,
• 12:12 this prophet said, "Woe, woe to the city again, and to the
• 12:15 people and to the holy house."
• 12:17 And just as he added the last "Woe woe to myself," suddenly a
• 12:22 Roman catapult with a huge rock struck him and killed
• 12:24 him instantly.
• 12:26 Joshua: These are crazy lengths, if Josephus reported all this
• 12:29 accurately, that God went to to show the signs to his people.
• 12:35 Caleb: The Diaspora of the Jews from the Romans led them places
• 12:39 such as back to Babylonia, Persia, you know, they went to
• 12:43 Asia, all the way up to Russia, northern Africa, places like
• 12:47 Egypt, Carthage, they even, of course, went all the way over
• 12:51 Europe, but everywhere where the Jews went, they were subject to
• 12:56 persecution, to scorn, even threats of death, just as Moses
• 12:59 declared prophetically would happen in Deuteronomy 28.
• 13:03 Joshua: Satan has always had antichrists attempting to take
• 13:06 out the Jewish people, even some waiting in the wings.
• 13:08 We look at Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD, he squashes this final
• 13:13 Jewish rebellion, and he renames the land Palaestina, after their
• 13:18 age-old enemy, the Philistines, Palestine.
• 13:21 This term he gave them was because it was their enemy, it
• 13:24 was to mock the Jewish people that they had been conquered.
• 13:27 But these Philistines, they were seafaring marauders.
• 13:31 They were light-skinned.
• 13:32 They weren't Semitic, dark-skinned Canaanite people
• 13:36 that we say that they were today.
• 13:38 And in fact, nobody in this area ever called themselves
• 13:43 Palestine, they never called themselves Palestinians.
• 13:45 There was not a country.
• 13:47 There was never ever in the history in this area anyone who
• 13:49 did that.
• 13:51 Caleb: But God has something more powerful to declare about
• 13:54 who has the territorial right to that country, and Hadrian should
• 13:57 have read the scripture in Genesis 35.
• 14:00 It declares, "After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God
• 14:05 appeared to him again and blessed him.
• 14:07 God said to him, 'Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be
• 14:10 called Jacob; your name will be Israel.'
• 14:14 So he named him Israel.
• 14:15 And God said to him, 'I am God Almighty; be fruitful and
• 14:19 increase in number.
• 14:20 A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and
• 14:23 kings will be among your descendants.
• 14:25 The land I give to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I
• 14:30 will give this land to your descendants after you.'"
• 14:34 Now during the Jews's almost 2,000 years of Diaspora, they
• 14:38 would endure heavy persecution.
• 14:41 We're gonna go through some of the best of--more like worst of
• 14:44 moments that the Jews have suffered throughout history just
• 14:48 for the sake of existing.
• 14:51 Joshua: First may seem like a rabbit trail, but stick with me.
• 14:54 For 300 years, the Christians were taught to witness to the
• 14:57 Jews first, but then Paul gets this mission to go out to the
• 15:01 Gentiles and begins leading them to Christ.
• 15:04 Well, these Christians became the most persecuted, the enemy
• 15:07 number one, if you will.
• 15:09 Satan thought, "Man, this is what's going to take them down."
• 15:12 But all of a sudden this surprise happened and made them
• 15:15 stronger, and he had to pivot.
• 15:17 He realized that instead of persecuting and attacking them
• 15:19 from the outside, he had infiltrate and corrupt them from
• 15:22 the inside.
• 15:23 Caleb: So here's how it happened.
• 15:25 Back in 312 AD, the Emperor Constantine the Great, he was
• 15:31 gonna go to battle-- Battle of Milvian Bridge.
• 15:36 And Christianity was being persecuted at this point
• 15:39 in history.
• 15:40 Satan thought, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em,"
• 15:42 like Josh said.
• 15:43 So it is said that for this great battle that was coming up
• 15:47 where Constantine the Great needed to claim the western half
• 15:50 of the Roman Empire, that when he was asleep, he had a dream in
• 15:54 which Jesus appeared to him, or so he said.
• 15:57 Then next, he claimed that he saw a vision of a flaming cross
• 16:01 in the sky, and he heard a great booming voice say, "In Hoc Signo
• 16:07 Vinces," in this sign you shall conquer.
• 16:11 That's exactly what he did.
• 16:13 He painted a blood red cross on the shields and the armor of his
• 16:18 soldiers, they went to battle, and they won.
• 16:21 And this began the conquering effect of Christianity to defeat
• 16:25 their enemies.
• 16:27 It sounds kind of Muslimy doesn't it?
• 16:28 Not very Christiany.
• 16:35 Joshua: Now Constantine legalized Christianity with the
• 16:38 Edict of Milan.
• 16:39 He solidified power behind the church, and his strength grew.
• 16:44 And then at the First Nicene Council, he literally resided as
• 16:48 the first pope, if you will, and he decided, or helped decide,
• 16:53 matters of doctrine and Scripture that would make the
• 16:57 church powerful for decades to come.
• 17:00 Caleb: He literally, in a sense, changed the way that one could
• 17:04 become a Christian.
• 17:05 Conversion was now different, it was no longer a matter of
• 17:07 the heart.
• 17:08 We don't know if he even believed in Yeshua himself, or
• 17:11 if he just used this as a method of obtaining power and claiming
• 17:16 territory, because now, by conquest, Christianity
• 17:20 became greater.
• 17:22 It was no longer a matter of the heart by accepting Yeshua.
• 17:25 Joshua: This is the first step of persecution against the
• 17:27 Jewish people because Constantine's successor, Emperor
• 17:30 Theodosius, he signs Christianity as being the
• 17:34 state religion.
• 17:35 And on top of that, if you weren't a Christian, then you
• 17:37 were persecuted in that religion that you were in, whether it be
• 17:40 Judaism, even Pagan rituals.
• 17:42 So at this point, overnight, every Roman becomes a Christian,
• 17:46 circumventing the repentance phase, believing in Yeshua,
• 17:49 calling out to him, submitting to him in any way.
• 17:52 At this point, Satan has won twice because he has taken the
• 17:58 Christianity and completely altered and changed its DNA to
• 18:02 where it's now counterfeit, and now he set the Jews up to
• 18:05 be persecuted.
• 18:08 Matthew 7:15-16, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you
• 18:13 in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are
• 18:16 ravenous wolves.
• 18:18 You will know them by their fruits."
• 18:20 Satan had now found a way to weaponize Christianity.
• 18:24 Converts were made by the edge of the sword.
• 18:27 Man had now become the head of the church, replacing Yeshua as
• 18:30 the head of the church.
• 18:32 So, I'm sorry everyone, at this point, I gotta say, Constantine,
• 18:35 false, not good.
• 18:38 Caleb: Because of him, Christians, so-called followers
• 18:40 of Christ, became the vehicle in which persecution would come to
• 18:44 the Jewish people.
• 18:45 You've all heard of the crusades, one of the darkest
• 18:47 times that the Jews remember in history, where these Knights
• 18:50 Templar, these honorable Christian soldiers, would go on
• 18:55 campaigns to gain wealth, glory, and power on their way to
• 18:57 cleanse Jerusalem of the evil Muslims.
• 19:01 Along their way they killed every Jew in their path.
• 19:03 They were actually sacrilegious, blasphemous, cult of Luciferians
• 19:09 who truly did not believe in God, but cared only for their
• 19:12 own pocketbooks.
• 19:13 This is why the Jews just remember this as their darkest
• 19:17 time in history.
• 19:18 Joshua: Unfortunately, the Jewish people didn't fare well
• 19:20 during that time period in the modern Middle East because the
• 19:22 rise of this false god, Allah, takes place, and the Islamic
• 19:27 faith and the Muslim people take after the Christian's example
• 19:31 and begin to lay waste by the sword for converts, and there's
• 19:36 great persecution that takes place to their people.
• 19:39 Caleb: During the Middle Ages, some of the greatest persecution
• 19:41 against the Jews took place.
• 19:44 They were not welcomed in many of their host nations.
• 19:46 They remember during these medieval times, if you will, the
• 19:50 expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290.
• 19:54 Then, there was the expulsion of the Jews in 1492 from Spain.
• 19:58 Everybody knows of the Spanish Inquisitions, you convert,
• 20:01 confess, or die.
• 20:03 And then, after that would follow the pogroms in Russia.
• 20:06 The Jews were thrown out every country that they were at first
• 20:09 welcomed in, but each new country that they would go to,
• 20:13 God blessed them, God prospered in, because his hand was always
• 20:17 upon them.
• 20:20 Joshua: Because of intense persecution, we see that the
• 20:23 Jewish people began to maintain their traditions, stay focused
• 20:28 on their group, keeping anonymity, intermarrying
• 20:30 within themselves.
• 20:32 And because of this and their avoidance of other cultures, we
• 20:35 see that they were categorized into three main categories.
• 20:38 Caleb: And the first is the Ashkenazi, you've probably heard
• 20:41 about them during the Middle Ages, they settled in northern
• 20:45 and eastern Europe.
• 20:46 In the second, the Sephardic Jews, they were from Spain and
• 20:49 Portugal, but also areas of North Africa.
• 20:52 And the third, the Mizrahi Jews, those are the Middle
• 20:55 Eastern Jews of descent, always Babylonian Jews and any of the
• 21:01 Caucasus, all these Jews are mixed together, but they're
• 21:06 still originating in the same bloodline of Abraham, Isaac,
• 21:10 and Jacob.
• 21:11 Joshua: The problem with the bigotry of modern replacement
• 21:13 theology is that they make claims, such as the Ashkenazis
• 21:17 can't be real Jews because they must have intermarried, they
• 21:20 must have taken on European traditions, converted, so they
• 21:24 can't be real Jews.
• 21:25 They take the Khazars, for instance, and say, "Oh look at
• 21:27 these, these are a group that just decided to convert
• 21:30 to Judaism.
• 21:31 Henceforth, all Jews came from them, and no one is a Jew."
• 21:33 This makes a ton of sense, right?
• 21:34 Look at everything that's happened to the Jewish people.
• 21:36 There's just people waiting to sign up to be Jews to
• 21:38 be persecuted.
• 21:40 I don't believe that.
• 21:41 Caleb: Actually, we have modern historians with such detailed
• 21:45 histories and chronologies that can verify the exact path that
• 21:51 the Jews traveled in Diaspora, and now with modern DNA testing
• 21:56 they can prove that the Ashkenazi Jews in Europe have
• 21:59 little to any bloodlines that were polluted from those other
• 22:02 host nations because they maintained their Jewishness for
• 22:06 the sake of their own survival.
• 22:17 It's a miracle that the Jewish people have survived concerted
• 22:20 efforts throughout millennia to wipe them off the face of
• 22:23 the earth.
• 22:25 It's been a really tough teaching for us here at
• 22:28 Kibbutz Be‘eri.
• 22:31 You can see this destruction all around us, the signs of the
• 22:35 persecution of the Jewish people merely for existing, merely for
• 22:38 believing on the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• 22:42 But yet we have that promise, that covenant that God made with
• 22:46 his chosen people that no matter what happens, he will always
• 22:51 save them, he will always restore them, he will always
• 22:54 bring them back.
• 22:55 He will always keep his promises to the people of Jacob, Israel.
• 23:01 Joshua: What happened on October 7 will be remembered for all
• 23:04 of time.
• 23:06 What Satan had meant for a great tragedy, God will turn around
• 23:10 for good.
• 23:11 Just like in times past, the Israelites have had to endure
• 23:17 great tragedy, to turn from their wicked ways, and
• 23:19 to repent.
• 23:20 We see today, from this event alone, more Jewish people
• 23:25 turning to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob than ever
• 23:29 before, turning from their sin, and submitting to repentance.
• 23:34 Caleb: It's time for each and every one of you to stand for
• 23:37 truth, to stand for the Jewish people, and to stand for the one
• 23:43 true God.
• 23:45 Joshua: 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If My people who are called by My
• 23:50 name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn
• 23:54 from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will
• 23:57 forgive their sin and heal their land."
• 24:01 I'm constantly humbled in my life to be allowed into places
• 24:09 of great importance, great tragedy, where life has been
• 24:14 lost, history has been made.
• 24:17 I've seen so much in such a short time of my life, and today
• 24:20 we're blessed to be able to visit and tell these stories
• 24:24 from Kibbutz Be'eri.
• 24:25 On October 7th, 130 people lost their lives here.
• 24:28 Caleb and I chose to watch the uncut footage of those lives
• 24:32 being taken that day, so going into these rooms, even though we
• 24:39 didn't have family here, has more of an emotional moving for
• 24:43 us because we actually saw how the people lost their lives,
• 24:47 very gruesome ways.
• 24:50 Beyond what is so tragic about those lives lost and how they
• 24:54 were lost is the reason behind why they were lost.
• 24:58 Antisemitism boils down to the hate of Satan himself against
• 25:03 God, the Creator of the universe, because God chose
• 25:07 Israel to be his people, and this angry, bitter creature
• 25:14 Satan is has spent his life trying to harm God's kids.
• 25:20 And yet today, there are still so many Jewish people who don't
• 25:24 even know that Yeshua is their Messiah, and that he is who they
• 25:29 have been waiting for, literally since the beginning of
• 25:33 their people.
• 25:37 When I look at the acts of hate that are committed throughout
• 25:40 history and the stance that man takes on them, it begins with
• 25:44 this fear, this fear that we have to support or defend
• 25:49 ourselves against everyone else,
• 25:51 this anger that rises out of this to show that we're right by
• 25:57 putting to the sword everyone else that doesn't believe the
• 26:00 way we do, right?
• 26:02 God who is a God of love says, "I am the way, the truth, and
• 26:05 the life.
• 26:06 No man comes to the Father but by me."
• 26:09 He never condemned a man to die, he sent his own Son to die.
• 26:15 Man asked for a law.
• 26:18 Man asked God, "I wanna be able to justify myself.
• 26:21 I wanna be able to earn my own salvation."
• 26:23 God said, "If you wanna do that, here's the law.
• 26:26 This is what's required out of you."
• 26:27 Man couldn't do it, they failed.
• 26:29 Yeshua was the only man in the history of mankind who lived by
• 26:33 that law perfectly and became our sacrifice when he gave his
• 26:37 life up for us, which allowed us to receive salvation so that no
• 26:42 single human being on this planet could claim that they
• 26:44 have earned it through their good works, through the
• 26:47 following of a prophet or some other man who claims to be of
• 26:49 God, but that we could always know for eternity in the history
• 26:53 of this planet that the only way to get to the Father was through
• 26:55 his Son, Yeshua.
• 26:57 I want you to ask the Holy Spirit to examine your heart.
• 27:01 I want you to ask him to reveal to you the areas that you need
• 27:04 forgiveness and repentance from, and I want you to repent, not
• 27:08 because I'm telling you to, but because the God of the universe
• 27:10 loves you so much and he paid a price that was worth your
• 27:13 humility today.
• 27:15 There's nothing greater than humbling yourself.
• 27:18 You may think that you know that you know that you know that you
• 27:20 know that your way is right.
• 27:23 But the Bible says that there's a way that seems right unto man,
• 27:27 and unfortunately that leads to destruction.
• 27:30 Today is the day that you have to choose.
• 27:33 Choose to understand that there's one reason and one
• 27:35 reason alone that you were created and put on this planet,
• 27:39 and it's to reach someone else with the love of Yeshua.
• 27:43 Make that choice before the person you were supposed to meet
• 27:47 ended up in this home without the opportunity to repent.
• 28:01 Caleb: When most people hear the word "pogrom," they think of
• 28:03 stories like "Fiddler on the Roof."
• 28:05 The pogrom is acts incited by hatred against the Jewish people
• 28:10 on a massive scale with the intent to expel them from their
• 28:15 homes, or even kill them.
• 28:16 Joshua: This is why it is so vitally important that we, as
• 28:20 true Christ-followers, stand up and show that we are not the
• 28:23 fake Christians of yesterday who massacred the Jewish people, who
• 28:28 never truly accepted Yeshua as their Lord and Savior.
