Israel: God's Battle-Ax

[Music] today israel god's battle axe jeremiah 51 20 read with me you are my battle axe and weapon of war for with you i will break the nations in pieces and with you i will destroy kingdoms i want to read that text also from the new american standard bible god says to israel you are my war club my weapon of war and with you i will shatter nations and with you i will destroy kingdoms in this sermon today i'm going to tell you of the love of god for israel and the jewish people i'm going to tell you the debt of gratitude that every christian owes to the jewish people i'm going to tell you the horror that the jewish people lived through for 1800 years and why they are fearful and suspicious of christians to this day what will be the end of the russian empire and the end of china that's causing the world so much crisis and where will you in you want to hear this sermon today stay tuned let's pray together father thank you for the power and the revelation knowledge in the word of god let us today rejoice and be exceedingly glad for our god is an awesome god and the future is in his hands and it's well known and well charted in the pages of god's word bring to us a sense of confidence a sense of knowledge that we're in the hands of god and everything is going to be all right in jesus name we pray and all of god's children said amen you may be seated first we consider the love of god for israel and the jewish people for centuries christians embraced the idea of replacement theology which teaches that god has replaced the jewish people with the church i want to tell you that's wrong it is a false doctrine it is not true it's not true because the bible says it's not true romans chapter 11 verse 1 paul writing god's position paper on the jewish people in the theological council of romans 9 10 and 11. in chapter 11 paul says i am jewish and he gives his jewish heritage and he was indeed jewish and he says god is still using me and if god is still using me he's obviously not through with the jewish people and then he writes in that same chapter in verse 26 all israel will be saved say that with me all israel will be saved that means god is not through with the jewish people and when jesus comes back to earth how's he coming back he's coming back as the lion of the tribe of judah judah is the word from which we get the jewish people he's coming back as a jewish rabbi to rule and reign over the earth give the lord praise in the house [Music] the love of the jewish people is eternal god's covenant with abraham isaac and jacob has never been broken never been broken the bible says the lord has chosen zion that's israel and he has designed it he has desired it for his habitation listen to ii chronicles 6 6 the bible says i god have chosen jerusalem that my name may be there forever jerusalem changed the direction for my life when i was praying at the western wall in jerusalem in 1978 in our first trip that don and i took with 18 members of our church while i was praying at the wall the divine concept came through my brain you should honor the jewish people with a night to honor them and it was so foreign it just what do you mean and i heard the phrase comfort ye comfort ye my people the night of honor israel was born and it gave birth to christians united for israel in 2006. today there are more than 10 million plus christians across the united states of america who are warriors standing against anti-semitism and people who are committed to loving israel and the jewish people jewish people you are not alone the evangelical community is with you israel is not a political issue it's a bible issue israel is the only nation created by god himself as the creator he had rights in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth he didn't reproduce what was here he created something out of nothing therefore he owns the earth as the owner of the earth he entered into a real estate contract with abraham isaac and jacob and their descendants forever and he made a covenant with them that they own the land forever there are people who try to spiritualize that and say it's a heavenly inheritance wrong read the bible that always helps genesis 15 verses 18 through 21 god says the borders of israel are the euphrates river there is no euphrates river in heaven dude genesis 15 18 21 says the borders consist of all of lebanon most of jordan all of the golan heights and all of syria the future state of israel when the king of kings comes back is going to be many many times the size of that miniscule nation today it is his world it is his project he will bring it to pass get ready it's going to happen give the lord praise in the house quickly consider the blessing of blessing israel that's found in the bible genesis 12 is the covenant that god made with abraham that has controlled the destiny of nations from the day of egypt until this day perhaps the most powerful statement in the old testament is the statement i will bless those who bless you say that with me i will bless those who bless you and i will curse those who curse you that's god's statement to the end of time consider the blessing of divine healing that came to the roman centurion in luke the seventh chapter the centurion had a sick servant he loved that sick servant down the road is coming a rabbi with the healing ministry jesus of nazareth jesus of nazareth is an observant jew he's not about to go into the house of that gentile because he'll break every law in the book of moses so the censorion goes to the jewish elders and the jewish elders go down the dusty path and intercept jesus and he said you should enter this man's house and pray for his sick servant listen because he has built us a synagogue when gentiles start doing practical acts of kindness to bless the jewish people god starts doing miracles for those gentiles you know the story jesus walked in the house prayed the servant was was instantly healed bang why because this man bless the jewish people why did the blessing of salvation and the holy spirit come to cornelius in acts the 10th chapter why was he the first person to be chosen because acts 10 says of cornelius he was a just man a man of good reputation among the jewish people that's a quote from the bible i want to ask you pastors who are listening or church members or maybe even deacons does your church have a good reputation with the jewish people have you ever done anything to bless or honor the jewish people for their contributions to christianity the fact is the bible commands the believers to bless israel psalms 122 6 says pray for the peace of jerusalem they shall prosper that love you prosper i've looked up that word it means prosper pray for the peace of jerusalem this is not a request it's a command you should put this in your prayer journal because god will bless you for it regardless of whether you understand it or not that is god's directive saint paul states that christians have a debt of gratitude to the jewish people romans 15 27 he says for if the gentiles that would be us have benefited from the jewish spiritual things spiritual things if they benefit from their spiritual things it is our duty this is paul it is our duty to minister to the jewish people in material things so what spiritual things have we benefited from from the jewish people the jewish people have given us this precious book every word in the bible written by jewish hands the jewish people have given us the patriarchs abraham isaac and jacob they've given to us the prophets daniel ezekiel amos zechariah they gave us king david i love the psalms they gave us mary joseph and jesus take jesus out of the equation and not one of us would be here today they gave us the twelve disciples they gave us saint paul who wrote most of the new testament for the new testament church let me tell you we have a debt of gratitude to the jewish people we can never repay that's why jesus said in john 4 22 salvation is of the jews write it down john 4 22 salvation is of the jews the point if you take away the jewish contribution to christianity there would be no christianity the fact is judaism does not need christianity to explain its existence but we cannot explain our existence without the jewish people [Applause] honor the lord with the first fruits of all your endeavors and see your blessings return in abundance only when you put god first in your life is he able to fulfill his divine promises give the lord your first fruits and recognize

the church isaiah 40 and 1 it says comfort ye comfort ye my people saith the lord there are two groups of people in this verse people who are being comforted and people who are doing the comforting the people being comforted or the jewish people the one doing the comforting happens to be the church the prophet isaiah looks into the prophetic future and he sees a day when the church should be be comforting israel why consider the history of the jewish people the church was born in the book of acts in the upper room and 40 years later the roman army under titus sieges jerusalem according to historian josephus over 1 million jewish people starved to death many were murdered women were raped the temple was totally destroyed 75 000 jewish young men were taken as captives to italy to build what is now called the roman colosseum it was a day of sorrow the walls of jerusalem were pulled down so that not one stone was left on top of the other remember that verse then came the eight major crusades of the middle ages on the first crusade to jerusalem in 1099 the cross-carrying knights of the roman church herded all the jewish men women and children into the great synagogue set it on fire and burned him to death all 960 of them walked around that temple singing christ we adore thee that's a fact of history can you hear the words comfort you comfort ye my people saith the lord you don't know that you're hearing that for the first time but jewish people know their history for 1800 years they saw their relatives murdered by someone who was carrying a cross and a sword to execute them immediately after the crusades came the spanish inquisition of 1748 under queen isabella and king ferdinand at the behest of the roman church jews were rounded up and tortured for heresy what was their heresy they would not leave judaism and embrace the roman church they died rather than give up their faith the spanish inquisition was a cynical plot to steal the property of well-to-do jews for the benefit financial benefit of the roman church they murdered jews just to get their money and to put it in the church treasury adolf hitler attended a catholic school as a child where the words of john chrysostom who was one of the founders of the roman church pounded into the minds of their students his mantra and here it is in history your you jews are the christ killers god hates you and i hate you and it is the responsibility of all christians to hate you jewish people know that like you know john 3 16. some of you are hearing it for the first time can you hear the need for the message comfort ye comfort ye my people why do we have nights to honor israel here and all over america we're being obedient to the word of god that says comfort ye comfort ye my people saith the lord then came martin luther with this book concerning the jewish people in their lives martin luther left the roman church and he believed the jewish people would follow him when they didn't follow him he turned on the jews with rage and he wrote the book concerning the jews in their lives and he said take away their gold and their silver their jewels and their coins set their synagogues on fire set their schools on fire tear their houses down cut their tongues out through the back of their neck end of quote martin luther don't turn it off listen this is truth this is history in 1981 when i walked into the jewish federation here in san antonio texas and told them i wanted to have a night to honor israel to thank them for all of their contributions to christianity into america they were shocked they actually looked at me like i was carrying a rare disease and they had the right to they were concerned about my agenda and they had a right to they know their history we don't even know american history let alone their history [Applause] [Music] who could blame them if your relatives had been murdered by people carrying the cross for 1800 years you wouldn't trust them either with the help of rabbi scheinberg my dear friend the first night to honor israel happened its purpose to bring comfort and consolation to the jewish people it was simple obedience to one verse in the bible and look what it has done it is changing the destiny of america and the attitude of nations concerning the jewish people in 2006 when we organized christians united for israel no one could possibly see that 10 million people would one day join that holy cause for those of you who are listening across america we invite you to join us our mission is to stand with israel and the jewish people by fighting anti-semitism with its many manifestations in america and on this planet in our colleges in our universities in america's pulpits some of you go to church and you hear these anti-semitic sermons and think it's out of the bible it is not it was written by some theologian who's trying to keep you into that denomination we have a command from the word of god to bring comfort and consolation to the house of israel my jewish friends you are not alone there are 10 million christians today when the last shot has been fired in the middle east the flag of israel is going to be flying in the breeze messiah will come we're going to celebrate a thousand years of perfect peace let freedom ring give the lord praise in the house what is the future of russia and iran the death certificate for russia and iran is recorded in ezekiel 38 39 it's called the gog magog war it's the first war in the gog magog war series russia is going to come out of the four north in ezekiel 38 15 and 16 15-18 right after the four blood moons i said there will be a move in the middle east that will change history forever ten days after that fine blood moon russia moved into the middle east and they're there to this day and ezekiel says many nations are going to follow you this is already started ezekiel writes you russia will come up against my people israel like a cloud to cover the land it will be in the latter days when is that that's when israel has become a nation and that's when jerusalem is rejoined to the nation that means right now we're living in the latter days listen i'm going to put a hook in your jaw i'm quoting the bible and i'm going to drag you into israel for your day of judgment that's god speaking to russia and to iran jew hating nations because god is going to exterminate every jew hating nation on the face of the earth god is not going to allow his people to be persecuted anymore iran is going to invade israel and when they do god has said i am going to do exactly this you're going to come with nine different armies it's going to be a multitude to cover the land it's going to be a land invasion of such magnitude that the nations of the world will believe that israel is no longer going to be able to stand and so god brings them drags them come here because i am going to kick your behinds up over your head hello russia hello iran your graveyard is in israel israel is god's battle axe he's going to crush you because you insulted his dignity by invading the land of israel i know you're atheist and don't believe in god but you're going to meet him and he is an awesome god he's going to crush you what is the future of china listen closely marching army of 200 million men three years later will come down to euphrates river onto the holy land the antichrist will be coming with what we call the new world order and they are going to fight for global supremacy in the in the mother of all battles the battle of armageddon and as they line up there and all get get a picture of that for 180 miles there's nothing but men getting ready to kill each other and as they begin that war suddenly there's another invasion it's not from the north the

be every person of you here and every one of you watching there jesus of nazareth is going to sweep over that battlefield and he's going to annihilate every one of the enemies of israel he is going to be magnified by his destruction of those godless nations that have never given the jewish people peace the blood is going to flow to the bridle of a horse for 180 miles that's out of the bible god is going to do a great work he is not going to see the jewish people persecuted another day they are going to be liberated by the power of god himself [Applause] the question is i can tell you the end of the world but where are you going to be on that day will you be with the bride of heaven or will you be with the ones on the ground watching him come back the bible says filled with terror why because
