By: General James Green – Pulpit Teachings – Early 2000’s
Ok, we’re going to go into part 2, this is series 7, this is going to be the long haul because we’re dealing with the 1948 regathering of Israel. We’re going to find out if that’s basically prophecy being fulfilled as the other camp claims or is it just something men have created? Because this affects the whole world. I’m collecting all kinds of newspaper clippings, I don’t care what I pick up today, it’s all connected to Israel.
I don’t care if they’re selling panty-hose for women, someway Israel is connected to it. I’m not kidding, these people have got the whole world in fear of them. It’s the truth. And the more they blab their chops about they’re God’s chosen people and scare us, we give them the field of battle and they basically can do anything they want.
As you know, the present administration of this nation, Fallen United States of America, Jew USA, it’s more Jewish than any time in history; there’s more Jews in power. And I’m not talking about just Jews, I’m talking about evil people, like the Zionist Jews, the conspirators, the underminers, the haters of God, the haters of His word, the haters of His people, these kind of Jews as I’m talking about.
And of course there are some good-hearted Jew people, I know, I get their stuff and we sent them our materials, that are fighting against Zionism just like we do. And they contend with their own race of people. But of course they’re small and of course they’re branded anti- semantic, and they’re Jews. So, if you take that brand, you’re just about done for.
Now, I have some clippings here, like there’s four clippings out of newspapers, but here’s one here. Remember I showed you the book yesterday that Jersavick wrote on the fear of the Jew syndrome, it’s a disease. And he didn’t cut any corners, and I was reading again some of his things last night. He was born in 1915 and he died in the early 1990’s and he fought his whole life against Zionism, communism, liberalism, those type of things. If he was alive today he would be fighting against PCism, it was just coming in when he died.
But he was asking “Why have we allowed the Jews which make up” here’s one here, I’ll read it to you, it says “Judaism our national religion” now this is written in America, the writer is a Jew and he’s exposing Zionism and he’s asking “Will Judaism become the national religion of America” I know Muslims want it to be their religion, the New Agers want it, the homosexuals want it.
Now, we know the Jews control everything, there’s no doubt about that, we don’t have to get into conspiracy, the Jews have controlled America ever since it’s been a country. And these people of course, they’re not so phantom anymore and they don’t do Clandestine work like they used to do, they can just do it openly. And we know Mr. Obama, your president has a staunch Jew as his right hand man and he has Rabbi’s around him that instruct him what to do and what not to do.
So it’s totally Jewish controlled. If you think Mr. Obama is your president, you’re sadly mistaken, the Jews are your president. They’re just the people behind the scene pulling the strings for this little black puppet that does and acts and says what they want him to say and act and do. He puts on a good show and writes good speeches, well, he doesn’t even write them, he just speaks them.
But back to this, this man here is saying “Jews account for less than 1% or 2% of the population of most nations. Yet the influence and power of Jewish-supremacism continues to grow. This is largely because Gentile and Christian nations are afraid” and he’s got “cowered by the label anti-semantic. To consider that Jewish supremest have an ethnic and religious agenda to undermine Gentile- Christian civilization. Just as Christians have an agenda to spread it”. So that’s one clipping there, just to give you an idea of what’s going on. That’s current, right out of the pink house up there in Washington DC-District of Corruption.
Here’s a long one here on both sides of the paper. It has to say “Christian leaders condemn Israeli occupation of Palestine” there’s Christian leaders, orthodox, catholic, it doesn’t matter, catholic, evangelical, they’re all over the world writing this document condemning what Israel’s doing to the Palestinians, mainly they’re talking about the Palestinian Christians. On one hand they don’t care about the Palestinian Muslims because Muslims are terrorists in one sense. Not all are, but they are over there.
But they’re talking about the Christians are being treated just like the terrorists Muslims. And they go into this long thing here and said that “These signatures affirm that the holy land has a universal mission. In this” they say, “the meaning of the promises of the land of the election of the people of God open up to include all humanity. Starting from all the people of this land in light of the teachings of the Holy Bible, the promise of the land has never been a political program, but rather the prelude to complete universal salvation.”
In other words, the spreading of the Gospel is a universal mission that all people are invited to become Christians and be saved. It’s not just for the silly, stupid, jackass, rebel Zionist people over there called Jews that want to control the whole world and scare everybody, it’s just not for them.
And unfortunately the Christian-Zionist over here, that have a huge organization called “Christians United For Israel”. Mr. Fat John Hagee is the president of that, from San Antonio Texas, everything’s big in Texas honey, even Their whole big mouths, big imaginations.
Their whole agenda is to support and prop up and keep supporting and keep funneling money and arms and everything they can get into that little rebellious country over there that’s run by these Zionist Jews that are unbelievers and God- haters. And not only are they God-haters, they’re atheists. How do you like that for a dilemma? They don’t believe in God but yet they hate God.
So, these people, that’s why I’m teaching this lesson, these people that support that are what they call dispensationalist people: they believe in a pre-trib rapture, they believe in a coming tribulation for the Jews. It’s centered, the whole future tribulation dear one, that they talk about Matthew 24, Revelations; it all boils down to that little plot of land over there in Israel where God’s precious apple of His eye is just waiting to meet the messiah.
Now Hagee is even telling the Jews, it’s not even Jesus that came to them, He’s not even their messiah. So they have been so scared by those Jews over there, now they’re saying “Whoever you want your messiah to be, it will be; it’s not Jesus no more.” And these are supposed to be Christian evangelists friend. They don’t care about those Jews, they don’t care if they’re damned, they don’t care if they’re going to hell.
In fact there are verses in the Scriptures, they don’t preach to the Jews, but in that last great war that’s supposed to take place in that tribulation, 3/4 of the Jews are supposed to be murdered by the antichrist; 3/4. So, this is what this is dealing with here. It’s dealing with that about he said, “The document takes aim at certain popular, evangelical, and fundamentalist ideologies,” just as I’m telling you about, “that justify Israel’s aggressive land grabs and the advancement of the Zionist territory as a per cur [?? PRECURSOR ??] for the rapture”.
Now these are people that are somewhat not even connected to Christian Zionists, but they say “It’s all connected to the rapture, everybody knows that the whole Jew issue is connected to the rapture, therefore you cannot let loose of the Jews because if you let loose of the Jews, the rapture’s not going to take place and Jesus is not coming back.” So it’s sick bed partners in this whole affair.
Then we go into here, “The Invention Jewish People” again, this is written by a Jew and he’s up there somewhere around the pink house. Well actually where his information is up there, but he is actually from Telaviv [?SPELLING?] over there in Israel. He is saying “The Jewish people were invented” and of course they call him, guess what? Anti-semantic. He says question is one of more than mere historic fact as the implications of any answer of this question either support or undermine modern Judaism’s claim to the holy land and the Zionism support for that assertion.
In other words, the question raised is whether or not modern Israel has a historical right to the land seated it and claimed through war in the decades following world war 2″. People are catching on. That little country over there is not supposed to be there. Here’s one; what dispensationalism is. This is written by the dull Lutherans. But nonetheless, they’re catching on too. They’re talking about what I’ve been trying to teach here on these 7 series here.
Typically when you talk about the dispensationalists, you’re talking about the people that believe in a rapture, you’re talking about people that believe the world has 7 dispensations, we’re living in the last dispensation called the Laodicea dispensation, the 7 Churches; blah, blah, blah. Well, they kind of have a problem with that, because as I taught already, the 6th dispensation is the one where supposedly the rapture’s supposed to take place. If we’re in the 7th, we’ve all missed the rapture, because there’s nothing mentioned about the 7th dispensation Laodicea Church except it’s puke and it’s lukewarm and God’s going to spew it out of His mouth, it doesn’t talk about anything going up in heaven. So they have a big problem there.
But anyway, they’re summarizing here. Let me read you the summary of what these dull Lutherans have come up with. “Number one, a secret return of Christ with a resurrection of the just and the rapture, believers caught up with Christ and taken to heaven”. There’s nowhere in the Bible that says that people are caught up and go to heaven.
Come on, Thessalonians doesn’t even talk about going to heaven, it says they were caught up in the air or in the spirit, it doesn’t say they go to heaven. Where do they come up with this idea that they go back to heaven? Well, go to heaven, they haven’t even got there yet. “Number two, a seven year tribulation when antichrist reigns and persecution occurs, which military battles leading up to the battle of Armageddon.”
And of course, guess what the persecution is against? Those precious Jews over there. And I’ll be talking about that in today’s lesson. “Number three, a second visible return of Christ followed by the sheep/goats judgment in Matthew 25. Number four, a one thousand year visible reign of Christ on earth.”
And of course what they mean by that, the temple is there, Jesus is sitting in the temple, the Jews are all around, the converted Jews, the blood Jews are there, I don’t know where the Gentile Christians are, I guess they don’t matter, but it’s all involved in Judaism. Then it says, “Number five, the resurrection of the unjust and the white throne judgment. Number six, the creation of the new heavens, new earth” blah, blah, stuff like that.
Ok, now, let me give you a scripture today here found in Hebrews 8:6, we’ll start off today’s lesson, this is part 3 and we’re still talking about the word “for ever”. Our opponents tell us that God promised that land of Israel to Israel forever, unconditionally, so they tell us. I’m trying to show you that that’s a big fat lie, with a big ‘B’ and a big ‘L’. Big, Fat, Lie, capital ‘L’, are you there?
Well, I know it’s early in the morning, it just turned a little after 5:30. “But now hath he attained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is a mediator of a better covenant” I want you to notice those words “better covenant”, if Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant, what happened to the old covenant that the Jew are supposed to carry on with ‘forever’? It’s been replaced sweetheart, there it is. “Which was established upon better promises” the better covenant has been established upon better promises.
Well, we talked about it, if you go to the Old Testament, read the promises natural Israel had, there’s a bunch of them and some of them were looking to God, promised those promises forever. But we’re finding out the word ‘for ever’ is a play on words really, in Hebrew and Greek both, it can mean one, “endlessness, or eternity” like never ending, no cessation involved, or it could be “a limited time, a duration or even a hidden dispensation”.
So, in reading these Scriptures, go to the context, if Jesus came, took the place of the high priest of the old dispensation and replaced all that, what happened to those old promises? Well, professor Tommy Ice and Fat Hagee and Tim LaHaye and all these people out there, made their fortunes off of this tell us “Well, Jesus did that, yeah, we know it’s Bible, BUT, the Jews are still the main focus of the world. God has not forsaken them” and they’ll throw in your face and my face the quote of Paul that “All Israel will be saved.”
Well, we already went into that “all Israel will be saved” it’s another play on words, it’s a hyperbole, it does not say “every single Jew will be saved” it’s talking about there will be Jews saved during the dispensation of the Church age right now. In fact did you know the messianic movement is growing like wildfire? Those, well, a lot of them are real blood line Jews that are seeing Jesus is their Messiah, that’s why they’re called “Messianic Jews” and they’re getting saved.
I don’t give you 15 cents for their theology because I know some of them personally, and I know some Gentiles that used used to be Pentecostals that converted to that pile of mess and now they go around and tell you, “You have to wear this type of underwear and you have to wear the turbans on the head, you have to eat their food, you have to keep their Sabbath.” Go back into Judaism, I’d tell them, if you want to do that, why don’t you move to Israel and go over there and become that? “Well, no, we don’t want to do that.”
Well, why not, you’re telling us Gentiles we have to do that. They’re telling me I have to serve God on a Saturday, which I serve God 7 days a week. Why Saturday? Then they have to tell me I have to abstain from certain foods. Well, I don’t eat meat anyway; I have no problem with that. If you have to go and pick out a certain meat you can eat, that’s your problem, I don’t eat it at all, so I’m safe on that one.
They have to tell me I have to wear certain clothing that the Jews did, have to keep certain feast days and fast days. Friend, all that was passed away. And they’re trying to put that bondage upon us. That’s the big problem the Messianics have. And of course this friend of mine, he’s not my friend too much now since I told him where to go, which I told him to go back to Jesus, not Judaism, and he told me that he, several summers ago, he went to all these synagogues, messianic synagogues, and he said wherever he went, no one even hardly showed up.
Because he’s a converted messianic, he’s white, he’s Russian, and he converted to their side and they don’t even like the guy. He said “Every time I go to speak, hardly nobody at the Church” pardon me, “synagogue, will hardly even show up!” And he was disgruntled and dissatisfied. And I said “You were raised and born in a Pentecostal Church, you had the gift of the Holy Spirit, why did you trade it in for that pile of mess? Why did you trade it in for something that’s passed away, for something that’s here and now, which is the Spirit? “Well General, you just don’t see!” I see very plainly; you have got that disease; fear of the Jew.
And the Messianics are being kicked out of Israel right now, they do not want those jackass rebels in that state. And they’re kicking Christians out and they want to get rid of the Catholics, they want to get rid of everybody; those Jews, I’m talking about the Zionist Jews and the religious Jews too, are haters dear one. They’re the same old people that God said “You are stiff-necked, rebellious, idolatrous people” they have not changed. So you tell me that’s God’s people over there? I have a hard time with that.
Ok, so here you have this. And if you want to go into the study on Hebrews 8:6, go ahead and do it. I’ve done it and it’s quite lengthy and it’s quite good, you’ll see that Jesus fulfilled everything. There’s no need for 1948 regathering of Israel, there’s absolutely not a need for those Jews to be there.
Now, I’m not against Jews having a place to live, I’ve been homeless and I’ve been on the run and I’ve had to hide and I’ve been hunted and hounded, we know that feeling. But dear one, to make the whole world bow to you and claim God has to keep you there and everyone in the whole world has to make it happen to keep you there; there’s a big problem with that. Why are the Jews hated and hounded everywhere they live? Because they’re under the curse.
You saw the video last night, you saw the hatred of those religious Jews against Jesus, you saw how murderous they were. They’re still like that today. There’s Pharisee Jews, there’s Zionist Jews, there’s orthodox religious Jews, they literally detest the name of Jesus Christ. Read the Talmud for yourself, they call Jesus a bastard, Mary a whore, they say Christians should be killed. And they point their dirty finger at the Muslims and say “Your Koran says this” the Talmud says that and worse. So, getting the record straight.
Now, yesterday I gave you two scriptures about ‘everlasting’, one pertained to everlasting fire in Matthew 18:8 and the other, talking about the everlasting God, Romans 16:22, they’re both Greek words, the same Greek words “everlasting”. Now when you take those words, when you read about the everlasting fire and the everlasting God, you know, by context, it doesn’t mean a duration of time – God somewhere stops unbeing God. Or the fire, lake of fire, sometime ends. You can be sure those are eternal. Those in the real sense of the word are never – ending.
And here, I have, a Greek scholar reiterating about the eternal fire. Using that Scripture there, he says “Jesus pronounces woe on those who take no precautions to avoid being thrown into ever/ eternal” depends on what Bible you’re reading; eternal/ everlasting, they’re both the same, eternal or everlasting- fire, the fire of hell. “Although the word translated eternal” and he gives the Greek word for it “sometimes means age long.”
The JW’s will throw this in your face; you argue with them, they’ll bring this same thing up. “Well see, it says age long, and hell’s going to end eventually”. Well, that’s one meaning of it, no one’s going to deny that, but there’s another meaning too. “It should be rendered, eternal, when speaking of final destinies, because these destinies pertain to the final age, an age that partakes in God’s eternality”.
In other words, when you’re talking about people being thrown into the lake of fire, that’s when everything is said and done and the whole score is settled on earth, men are facing their destinies, there is absolutely no way out of that place. You’re either in heaven or you’re in hell. In that sense, everlasting God with His people everlasting in heaven. Everlasting fire, with people in hell, everlasting, never-ending torments.
In that sense you can bet those words in the right meaning mean never ending. And here the JW’s, the Seventh Day Adventists, these quacks tell us “Oooh, it means annihilation, it means it’s going to burn out and blah, blah, blah”. Well, they would like for it to burn out, but it’s not going to be burnt out that quick. Ok, just thought I’d bring that up.
What else I got? I did this ‘How do we define Zion’ all right, let’s go into today’s study. I’m going to be critiquing this book called “Charting the end times” written by Tim LaHaye and Professor Tommy Ice. In 2001 they put this book together. That book is laying out for you and me the whole end time chart. Just follow the chart and you will see Israel is in the center of every bit of it. And if we don’t bless Israel and support Israel, we’re going to go to hell.
And yesterday I gave you two Scriptures, I’m going to go into more today and I’m going to show you some of the scriptures they used which mentions ‘forever’, ‘everlasting’, ‘eternal’, these type of words. And they’re trying to tell us that land, we’re talking about that land and those people, it’s an everlasting covenant God made with them and it cannot be broken. Well, we’re finding out something quite different when you really look at these scriptures.
Ok, I took you and I showed you what Adam Clarke had to say about Genesis 17:7, I’m not going to go back to that. But we talked about that land, talking about the land of Canaan, the land of Israel there now. Of course these prophesies were written way back in the Old Testament, and here we are in 2010. We found out that that land over there, the possession of that land, was a conditional promise.
Now I know there are those out there to tell us that there are scriptures that you can find, and I’ve looked for them, that God gives promises unconditionally. I can’t find one. I’ve looked, I can’t find one in the Bible where God says “I’ll do this forever no matter how in the hell you live” and I really literally mean it, “how in the hell you live”.
And when I use that phrase ‘how in the hell you live’, I’m talking about the hellish things that people do, the hellish things that demons do to people and in people and through people. I’m talking about the things, the people are in hell, did to get there; that people can commit those crimes and still be blessed by God.
That’s the mentality we have today in churchianity friend. You can live like a devil, commit every sin in the book. I was reading a thing to my wife yesterday, I said I thought I had read everything; this bishop of a huge Church in Choo England was telling people it’s ok to shoplift. Ok, it’s ok to kill, commit abortion, it’s ok to kill in just wars, it’s ok to commit adultery, it’s ok to be a homosexual or lesbian, it’s ok to do anything you want to do.
Now I’m reading it’s ok to go steal. It’s ok to drink, smoke, cuss, chew tobacco, cuss, dip snuff, let’s see what else? Smoke cigars, smoke cigarettes, smoke pot, shoot heroine, sniff cocaine, God knows what all; it’s ok! Now it’s ok to go rob stores. Well, if you’re going to do that; start with Wal-Mart. I don’t give a -whistle- if you go rob Wal-Mart, it’s from those st inking Chinese communists that kill Christians; steal from them I don’t care. I’m not telling you, I’m just quoting what he’s saying.
Ok, so that law there, it doesn’t mean unconditionally, it doesn’t mean forever, it just means it’s forever to the seed of Abraham’s seed. And who was Abraham’s seed? It was the seed of Christ. Eventually Christ was going to come and be the seed that the Old Testament’s talking about. And then the seed of Christ is God’s true, true people that will inherit the earth.
Ok, now if you want to go inherit Israel, you can have the piece of property, I don’t care about that place, that’s not our realm, there’s nothing in the New Testament hence we’re supposed to have a plot of ground that is called our plot, and we’re supposed to have a president or some Rabbi sitting there that is the Lord over us and we’re supposed to go down like the Catholic and kiss the pinkie ring and go kiss the big toe, and there’s some other important places you can kiss too sweetie! It’s nothing that says anything about that.
But, I have to remind my audience here that Mr. Ice and gang, they’re futurists, they take everything literally. Everything you read in the Bible, they basically say “Oh, it means literally. There’s nothing spiritual about it, it’s literal. There’s going to be a literal antichrist, there’s going to be a literal rebuilding of the temple, there’s going to be literal persecution, there will be literal heads cut off, there’s going to be literal this and literal that, and literal”- EXCEPT when it comes to something that might buck their way of belief, then all of a sudden “Well, that’s just one case and point it’s figuratively!” Sure.
Number two, Genesis 17:13, I don’t know where we looked at that one where it talked about circumcision, I’m just paraphrasing some of this to save time. And you can do your own study where it’s talking about circumcision was to be an everlasting covenant. Now the Messianics, some of them still believe in this. Well, if you want to cut your pee-pee go ahead, I’m not going to do it. It means nothing. It ended friend. Come on, we don’t have to be circumcised. How do I know that? Because.
It says in Galatians 5:1-6, read that and you’ll find out why we don’t have to keep that although it was called an everlasting covenant. But it meant until a time of dispensation ended, in that sense. And then we went into the spiritual circumcision of guess what? Cutting the flesh off of your heart; you fat hearted people. Did you know most Christian have heart problems because you have too much fat around your heart? But in the Old Testament, it was cutting skin off your pee-pee and what that represented. We don’t have to do that no more, so that ended. We know we don’t have to do that because the New Testament says we don’t have to. So we have to realize forever or everlasting doesn’t really mean that as our opponents tell us.
Then, three, Exodus 12:14, I hope you’re taking these scriptures down because these are ones that they use. Where it says “Jehovah instituted the Passover as an everlasting ordinance” Exodus 12:14 and then we’re going to ask ourselves, is this Passover binding? I know these Messianics, they do all this rig-a-ma- roll, they do their Passovers, they do all these things. They say “We have to do them because” they tell us, just like the Catholics tell us, the Protestants, that the Catholic Church is our ‘mother’ and we have to go back to mamma.
The messianic Jews tell us that Judaism is our mother so we don’t need old Christianity. Our mother is real Judaism because Christianity came out of Judaism so in other words, Judaism really is the mother. So we need to do everything mother tells us. Why did they even get saved?
What do you need Jesus for if you’re going to go back and do the same things that were abrogated and done away with and replaced? Bondage sweetie, bondage. They’re the same old Judizers that you find in the Old Testament that demanded circumcision eating of certain foods. That spirit is alive today in the messianic movement. And I butt heads with these guys and they think I’m crazy. I’m not crazy, I know what the Bible says.
If you want to go around and wear a little thing on your head, I’ll wear my beret. If you want to wear certain clothes, you can’t mix wool and linen and cotton; go ahead, I don’t care, look like an idiot, do that. If you want to wear certain underwear, they even have a booklet that you can buy certain underwear, bracelets, they have a whole gidgie-gadget section you can buy to look and act just like a Jew.
Why do you want to imitate something that God despises? God despised Judaism because He says “You’re a stiff-necked, hateful, murderous, idolatrous people” and He never took it back. He never once said they’re good, He never once said everything was perfect. He said “That’s just a foreshadowing of something better to come”. All that Old Testament stuff was just leading up to Jesus Christ the Lord.
Now if you’re going to be a saved person, don’t go back into bondage again, and don’t drag me there because I ain’t going. Got it? And I will say one thing for the health laws, it’s better if you don’t eat some of that crappy meat that’s half fecal matter anymore. You can lay off of the chicken and the beef and the pork and all that stuff you want.
We don’t eat meat at all, but if you’re going to do it, how are you going to not eat it? They’re telling me now that half of the meat sold now, half of it is fecal matter. Whoa! Are you eating s-h-i- you know what? Of course you are. I told you long ago you’re eating that.
Come on, why do you think Americans are dying like flies? Why do you think they have so many diseases? It’s the food you eat stupid. Not only is it fecal matter, it’s full of chemicals, preservatives and colorings that’s poisonous to your body. And then we have denominations that say “Oh healing is passed away! Let’s go to the doctor!” go to the doctor honey child! You go in there halfway healthy and you come out on a cold slab to the morgue in three days time. I’d rather trust Jesus to heal me. Now I’m giving you a little information there, it doesn’t cost you anything.
Ok, we got rid of that about the Passover, Jesus is our Passover, read 1 Cor. 5:7, Colossians 2:14; these are some things about that, about Passover. We know Jesus is the Passover. Passover just meant “if you do what I command you to do, it was conditional, put the blood up there and my death angel will pass over you”. If you don’t have the blood of Jesus, death angel ain’t gonna pass over you honey, it’s conditional that you get the blood of Jesus in you, and on you. So He is our Passover lamb, the blood.
Number four, check this out, talking about the lamp stand that stood in the holy place was to be a statue forever to their, to their, to their, Mr. Ice, not to ours, but to THEIR generations. It said nothing about OUR generations, their generations. When their generations ended, it ended for the lamp stand. You don’t need that lamp. Why? Because Christ is the light of the world; it says so. Luke 2:32 “A light to lighten the Gentiles.”
Now I want you to notice “a light to lighten the Gentiles”, it was in the heart of God to get the Gentiles or the pagans, or the unbelievers, or the heathen, way before precious Israel was out of the sight of God. And then it says “And the glory of the people of Israel”. So God was inclusive, He was including both the pagans and Jews.
Why the Jews? Because He was using the Jews as a kind of people to foreshadow something coming called spiritual Jews. You don’t have to have Jew blood in you to be right with God, you’d better have the blood of Jesus, that’s the true blood. You don’t need Jew blood; whatever that is. 2,000 years, you think there is a true Jew on earth? I have a hard time believing that.
All right, John 1:4+5 talks about there, in John 1:9 it talks about Jesus is the true light “which lighteth every man that cometh into the world” well, Jesus is the light, we don’t need that lamp stand, that was an ordinance forever; for their generations. But the light we have now will be, in the true sense, forever, in the big sense, never-ending. Because the Church will never end, I’m talking about the true one, Jesus will never end, we’re in eternity now because this will go on for eternity in the big sense, never – ending.
That was limited, that word there forever was used in a limited sense because it came to an end. Where is the lamp stand? Where’s the temple? Come on, where is it? Well, the tent was gone, the temple’s gone; we are the temple of the Living God. We have the light in us. The Bible says we are the light of the world; collectively. The lamp stand is in us.
Five, Exodus 29:9 where it says the Lord promised that the priesthood would belong to Aaronotic family for a perpetual statute. Perpetual as you know, one of the renderings yesterday meant “forever or everlasting”, perpetual.
So, what happened to the Aaronotic priesthood? Gone. How did it disappear? Well, it disappeared by with the Levitical priesthood, the Aaronotic priesthood, all that disappeared and it was annulled by Hebrews 7:12-18. Jesus is our high priest.
Now, it’s senseless, stupid and dumb to preach and teach that 1948, God purposely regathered His people there, in unbelief, in order that when the tribulation came and antichrist appeared, that He would persecute those unbelieving, stuff-necked, rebellious jack-ass rebels called Jews, atheists, Talmudists, Torah observant; God knows whatever else is mixed in there; to get them to be saved.
Tommy Ice has it both ways. He has it, Israel is gathered there for the reason of getting them saved. Then he says in another place, they’re saved there to get them persecuted. And I have quotes. And if I have time I might get into some of those quotes. So he is actually playing both sides because neither side is satisfactory, he’s caught on either one. So he has to fool us and try to deceive us and make us think, if you’re reading one book; yeah, yeah, yeah – if you’re reading another book, he contradicts himself. They cheat.
So, we have that done; Jesus is our high priest. And then “The eternal statutes are specifically said to be temporary” it tells us they were temporary even though they were called ‘eternal’. Exodus, my last one here, Exodus 31:16, we have got to talk about the Sabbath for you Sabbath keepers. I pity you if you think going to Church on Saturday dear one is your saviour.
Now, back to my Messianic friends, I have several, and in their writings, they are disputing with other Messianics. And they get into squabbles, infightings and they’ll say “Well, what’s really a Sabbath day journey” and they’ll get into, is it one step further? If it is, you broke the law! Is it two steps backwards? You broke the law? Is it picking up a match so you can start a fire so you can cook your meal? That’s breaking the Sabbath. They get into such stupid stuff. Are you enjoying the Sabbath? They end up hating and fighting each other over a silly day. Ridiculous! How far can you go?
One guy, my friend that got converted, he says, “Hey, it’s ok to go to baseball games, basketball games on the Sabbath because that’s not really working; that’s enjoyment.” Ok, if you can do that, go to the whorehouses, go to the peep shows, go to the striptease joints, go sin, drink, go to the bars; go do what you want to do. That’s enjoyment isn’t it? If you can go watch a football game, or basketball game; why can’t you do other enjoyment things – on the Sabbath. So, they cheat like hell. I thought a Sabbath was supposed to be honoring God, and resting? Well, you see, they don’t really believe that rig-a-ma-roll.
The Sabbath, it says “It was a perpetual covenant”. And you know the dispute they had between the Jews and the converted Gentiles, you know the thing they had in Jerusalem. They made it a point to say “Gentile Christians do not have to keep the Sabbath, they do not have to eat certain foods,” it was settled.
Now, if you Jews want to do that, you Messianic, go ahead, I have no problem if you do that, none at all. Just don’t push it off on us. It’s not necessary; it passed away, that Sabbath, Jesus is our Sabbath. If you want to go to Church on Sunday, go ahead, Saturday, go ahead, if you want to not even go to Church; fine with me. Jesus is our rest. He is our true Sabbath; it isn’t a day anymore. Ok, I did a whole book, Amos and I did a long writing on this and if you want to order that book, you can order it. Galatians 4:10 tells you about that.
Ok, let’s see what I have next. Here I have a book with Mr. Ice again; rambling on about “The regathering of Israel” and stuff like that. And then we have someone contending with him on that. Here’s a quote what Mr. Ice is saying, he says “The fact that the modern state of Israel was reconstituted in 1948 is historical verification that God is preparing the world for tribulations events.” Ok, you got to have Israel coming back to the homeland because that’s preparing the world for the future end-time antichrist and all that spook stuff that goes out there with left behind stuff.
Dear one, the Jews had their tribulation in 70AD. It was over for them; God dispersed them throughout the nations. He did not talk about regathering them as a nation, building a temple, there’s not even a hint about that. He does say, and Paul prays, that his brethren, or his countrymen will be saved. How will they be saved? By believing in Jesus the Christ and having the blood to wash away their sins in this dispensation.
You don’t have to have the antichrist spooking you to get you to get saved, that’s what they come up with. They had their persecution, they had their great tribulation in 70AD. There’s not a hint in the Bible about a second great tribulation for the Jews; it’s not there. They try to act like it is.
Now, Mr. Walvoord, his mentor, which was the president of theological cemetery in Dallas, Texas, he’s dead now. He says, here’s his quote “Of the many peculiar phenomena which characterize the present generation, few events can claim equal significance as far as Biblical prophecy is concerned with that of the return of Israel to their land” blah, blah, blah, blah.
You bring a bunch of antichrist, jackass, unbelieving rebels that hate God, don’t believe God, would like to murder Christians and like to skin every Christian alive, like to burn every Bible in the world, and you got them over there and they’re called “God’s Holy Tribal people”? God brought these BASTARDS, now I’m using that in the correct bibliology, phraseology, those bastards, without God being their Father, and they’re supposed to be blessed forever. I don’t get that. That’s like blessing anybody that’s a sinner.
Ok, here’s Mr. Gentry picking up on this as Mr. Ice presents two different scenarios for Israel’s future. In one place he presents the following order: “Tribulation, repentance, regathering.” Now, tribulation, they have to be in the homeland, antichrist, temple built, tribulation starts. Through that tribulation they get repentant and then he says “regathering.” Another place, and I have it before me, he has “regathering, tribulation and repentance.”
Ok, this is more on the line of what’s going on; regathering. Israel was regathered, there in the place, tribulation breaks out, they get saved. So why does he use both ways? Why does he say one thing one place and say something else in another? Because he’s very confused, it’s not even supposed to happen. There is no regathering of Israel, there is no great tribulation
and the antichrist for the Jews. There is no great big evangelistic bust of power upon the Jews; and they all become great evangelists and go out and do, in 3 and 1/2 years what the Christians haven’t done in 2,000 years. What power! That is dear one, after 3/4 of the Jews have been killed. Whatever a Jew is.
Now here, “While dispersed among the nations, Israel would seek and find the Lord when they searched for Him with all their heart. There would come a time of tribulation said to occur in the latter days during which time they would turn to the Lord”. Now these are other quotes from Mr. Ice, he just plays on words here. The latter days suggest about the eschatology of the end time, the tribulation, that means the end of everything, the tribulation.
So here you have regathering, tribulation, repentance, then you have what he said over here before, you have tribulation, repentance, regathering. Tribulation, repentance, regathering, then you have regathering, tribulation, repentance. Now, if you were reading this would you not be confused? Could you follow a professor of theology with a PhD and other degrees, supposedly a master of Greek; could you follow a man like that? That didn’t know what he was talking about? That had at one time one way and reversed it the other way in different books, hoping someone didn’t read the two books together? This is how these guys get away with this. Ok, I could go into more of that rig-a-ma-roll on what he’s saying there, and I’ll get into that later.
So, what you have here dear ones, is they’re telling us, that, in fact, Mr. Ice is saying in another place that I was reading this morning, he was saying that, of course he does not believe in the Church age, the present age, he says that’s insignificant. He says “No prophecy is being fulfilled in the Church age” that means from when Jesus ascended to heaven, till the antichrist appears, that whole dispensation, and that’s over 2,000 years now, that whole dispensation, he’s saying in a book that absolutely not one fulfilled prophecy was to take place during that time.
And then he comes along and says, talks about “The regathering of Israel is a fulfillment of prophecy.” Well, I just read it to you. It tells us another place, “not one prophecy is being fulfilled, all prophecy is going to be fulfilled when the temple is rebuilt, the antichrist breaks the covenant with Israel, after 3 and 1⁄2 years, and then persecution starts. During that persecution, it lasts 3 and 1/2 years when hell breaks loose for the Jews.
And God brings down His big stick and punishes this generation that was the 70AD generation, that we already went in there, Jesus said “These things will happen in this generation” He was talking about the generation that murdered Him. You saw it last night didn’t you? You saw that video, you saw the hatred in those Jewish leaders. Do you think that Jesus was not going to get back at those particular people? Why would He come back 2,000 years later and punish a people that did not drive spikes into His hands, did not give Him the whipping, did not put a crown of thorns?
I know the Romans did it, but the Jews said “We want it done.” And spit on Him and beat Him and punished Him. Come on, who is going to be punished? Is it those people, or is it somebody 2,000 years down the road had nothing to do with His murder? Oh yeah, they still hate Him, they don’t believe in Him, but they did not put Him to death.
The generation Jesus was talking about, “all these things will be fulfilled in this generation” and Mr. Ice wants to contend with the Bible that that generation is talking about a future generation way out somewhere out there. The generation now, if he was to come back today, there’s no generation, there’s no temple here, there’s no high priest here, there’s no Pharisees here, there’s no scribes here, there’s none of these people here.
Why would Jesus be angry with the people here that had nothing to do with what happened back in 70AD? They got their whipping then, God brought out the big stick and beat the *whistle* out of the Jews then. That was their great tribulation friend. And the Bible says it was the greatest and will never happen again in that dimension.
And people say “See, even Hitler did worse than that”. Dear one, that’s another play on the words. I could take you to four or five scriptures where it says “This is the greatest even of the time and there was something even greater than that.” It’s just like this word, it’s using hyperboles, hyperbolic phraseologies when it’s talking about “The great thing that happened and will never happen to this degree again.”
And they say “Well, 70AD, that was small, compared. It’s got to be a bigger time than this.” No honey, that was the big time for the Jews.
