Men were there in Romans chapter 11 and this is a pretty famous chapter. It's a pretty controversial chapter in Christianity, especially between
dispensationalist or
ruckmanites and
Those of us are churches that believe in something called replacement theology
You know the belief that the New Testament was replaced by the Old Testament, which is extremely obvious
But you know this chapter has a lot to do with Israel
And if you haven't noticed the nation of Israel has definitely been in the news a lot in the last year
And surprisingly if you go online if you look at different polls
It seems like a lot of Americans are waking up to the fact that the nation of Israel is not America's greatest ally
Like we were all told a few years ago. You know most of us our entire lives
We've always heard Israel is our greatest ally as a nation. That's what our military has been told to believe
That's what Fox News has been pushing, but you know what it's not really working anymore
It seems like a lot of people are waking up to this and I think there's a perfect example that I found to kind of
Illustrate the fact that people are waking up on this issue. There is this pastor named John level
He's very popular online because he's not just a pastor
But he is a firearms instructor and he is a very good firearms instructor
He has a huge following and on looks like on YouTube. He has 1.5 million subscribers
It's a pretty big channel right there and on X. He has a hundred and five thousand followers
And he put out this poll on X and this is what he asked. He said should Israel be our ally
He's referring to the United States should Israel be the United States ally
31% of people said yes an ally only 31% of people and keep in mind
These aren't liberals that are taking his poll. These aren't Hamas terrorists
These are Christian conservative gun owners in America that follow this guy. He doesn't have a liberal following only
31% said yes, okay
39% of people said no
They're an enemy of the United States
So more people in his poll actually said not only should we just not be allied with Israel
But they're actually an enemy of our country
39% that's pretty impressive now 30% said neither an enemy nor an ally
So here's the thing 69% of people either thought like oh, I don't really care
They shouldn't really be an enemy or an ally or they just thought straight up that they should be an enemy of the United States
Only 31% of people said yeah, they're actually our friends. They're actually our allies
so it kind of looks like a lot of people are waking up on this issue and
This pastor he made a response video to it because he was so upset about it
And you know, normally I wouldn't just call out a pastor just because of their views on Israel
But this is the same guy who earlier this year said that Jesus Christ commands Christians to drink alcohol
So as far as I'm concerned this dude's fair game because when you start preaching
Ridiculous false doctrine like that as a pastor you kind of open yourself up to being called out
So I hope the guy saved I hope he learns the truth about Israel
But whether he saved or not, it doesn't really matter to me because I think he's someone that needs to be marked and avoided
But he made this response video and this is what he said. He said Genesis chapter 12
What did God say I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you speaking to Abraham
I will make your name great and you will be a blessing
I will bless those who bless you and whosoever curses you I will curse and all the peoples of the earth shall will be blessed
Through you so he's not using the King James, you know, you heard my shall there
I'm so used to the King James version, but he's using some random Bible version
He said this so there it is. God loved Abraham and he said Abraham
I'm going to bless you and your offspring forever and in fact through your
Offspring the entire world will be blessed now in the book of Galatians the New Testament
We receive commentary that the offspring is actually Jesus Christ. So he's right so far
That's true and it means salvation comes from Jesus
Amen, the seed of Abraham comes through Jesus to go out to the whole world
Also in the book of Galatians were given commentary that the sons of Abraham are the sons of the promise and so as such
The entire Christian world are the true sons of Abraham. Amen pastor level so far is dead-on
That's correct because they are recipients of the promise not by blood but by covenant
Now, what do you do with ethnic Israel?
If you read Romans 11, you'll see that God still has a plan for blood ethnic Israel
If you read Romans 11, you'll see that God still has a plan for Israel
They're described as the root, which we'll get to that later, the root in Romans 11 is not talking about the Jews
They're described as the root, the chosen, the Gentile world, that's everyone that's non-Jewish
but still saved by the blood of Jesus, they're grafted in, so they're part of it, but they're unnatural grafting in
But there still remains the root
What we find in Romans 11 is that God still has a plan for Israel
Boy, haven't we heard every pastor in America say that
God still has a plan for Israel today
And he posted this meme
Who's seen the meme where it's like the train coming and like hits that car off the track
It said, it said on their replacement theology
And then it said Romans 11 like hitting replacement theology
It's like no Romans 11 actually destroys Zionism
Romans 11 actually destroys this view that God still has a plan for ethnic Israel
And that's what we're going to talk about today
He said this as well
He said Romans 11 check mate seriously it's a devastating axe to the root of replacement theology
Read Romans 11 and you'll see that God still has plans for the bloodline of Abraham
Title my sermon this morning is God still has a plan for Israel
God still does have a plan for Israel
And Romans 11 does talk about it but it's not the way that Pastor Lovell thinks it's talking about
It's not the way that the majority of Baptist preachers think that it's talking about
So we're here in Romans 11 and you know it's it's so encouraging to see so many people waking up about this issue
Seeing young people realize that the nation of Israel isn't our best friend
They do nothing for the United States of America they're not bringing the blessing of God on our nation
I mean we've been allies with Israel since its inception
We helped create the nation of Israel and I've seen our nation becoming less blessed by God every single year
We've become less godly every single year. So, you know the people who aren't waking up on this issue. Sadly are pastors of all people
It's like people are waking up people are reading their bible, you know, who's not waking up pastors in america, unfortunately
So let's go through romans 11 this morning. Let's see does god still have a plan for israel first one
Paul says this I say then have god cast away his people. What's he referring to?
He's referring to physical ethnic jews and he's asking this question is god completely done with these people
Is he just completely putting them aside?
Not going to use them anymore. Are they just a thing of the past 100? He says this god forbid
He says no god is not done with these people now. Here's the thing. This is where christians stop reading the chapter
That's it. There's nothing more to romans 11 than the first part of verse one
That's the level of doctrinal understanding that a lot of pastors have of this chapter
But he says notice this next word. This is a very important word in your bible
It says four, you know what that means because so he's gonna say god's not done with these people
God forbid that that would be the case because of something else. Why because for I
Also am an israelite. He's saying I am a physical jew of the seed of abraham of the tribe of benjamin
He's saying this how could god have cast away all his people how could be god?
How could god be a hundred percent done with all ethnic jews if here I am i'm the apostle paul
I'm an ethnic jew, but what does paul believe in for his salvation jesus christ?
You know, what does paul believe in the bible? What does paul believe in the new testament?
What's the difference between paul an ethnic jew and the rest of the ethnic jews one believed in christ one rejected christ?
So no god's not done with all of israel. Why because some of them have believed in jesus christ
Look here at romans chapter number nine go flip over to romans chapter nine now
How did the apostle paul refer to other jews?
Well, look here at romans chapter nine would someone please bring me a water whenever you have a chance, please
Thank you. Sorry about that romans 9 verse 1 it says this I say the truth in christ
I lie not my conscience also bearing me witness in the holy ghost that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart
For I could wish that myself were accursed from christ for my brethren my kinsmen according to the flesh
Notice verse 4 who are israelites? Thank you very much. Who are israelites? So notice he's sad. He's grieved
He's in sorrow. Why because his fellow israelites are not saved
It's not like they're still special paul doesn't think oh, they're still god's chosen people. They're still special. They're still just fine
No, rather, he's so sad that he actually says I wish I could actually lose my own salvation
So that other israelites could be saved
It doesn't sound like he thinks in his mind that these guys are god's chosen people that they're safe
No, he says who are israelites?
They are physical jews to whom pertaineth the adoption and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law
And the service of god and the promises, you know
All of those things listed there were given to the jews first even the lord jesus christ he came unto his own
And his own received him not when jesus started his earthly ministry in matthew chapter 10
He said go and preach to the lost sheep of the house of israel
That's who he was sent to first and of course the lord jesus christ knew that they would reject him
But he still had to fulfill that he still had to make that true. Let's keep reading here verse five
Whose are the fathers and of whom as concerning the flesh christ came christ descended from abraham physically
Who is overall god blessed forever amen not as though the word of god has taken none effect
Notice this for they are not all israel which are of israel
You know, this is an important verse in your bible that I think a lot of dispensationalists a lot of zionists don't understand
The bible is trying to help us here. There's people that are part of the physical nation of israel
There's people that are descended from abraham. They have the bloodline of the jews and even though they're physically israel
They're not all spiritually israel. And so there's a difference between those two neither
Because they are the seed of abraham are they all children?
So they're not children of god just because of their blood but in isaac shall thy seed be called
Regulations four goes more into that that is they which are the children of the flesh notice
These are not the children of god. So look you can't make roman's chapter 11
Contradict roman's chapter 9 these both have to mesh. Yeah god's not done with israel because there's still
Physical jews that believed on jesus christ, but people that are just jews physically speaking
Those are not the children of god, but the children of the promise are counted for the seed
Let's go to roman's chapter number 10 roman's chapter number 10
Romans chapter number 10 verse 1 brethren my heart's desire and prayer to god for israel
Is that they might be saved does that sound like israel save?
No, he's saying in chapter 9 I could wish myself a curse for christ for my kinsman for my brethren according to the flesh chapter 10
My my heart's desire my prayer for israel is that they might be saved chapter 11
We're going to see later in the chapter. He says the same thing
So three chapters in a row paul is conveying to us his desire for these physical jews to get saved
You know what that means dispensationalist. It means they're not saved right now something has to change
Something has to change for them to for them to continue to be god's chosen people
It's not by the flesh in the new testament look at verse number two of romans 11 go back to romans 11
It says this god hath not cast away his people which he foreknew
Why you not with the scripture saith of elias how you make it intercession to god against israel saying so notice
He says god has not cast away the people that he foreknew who is that talking about?
We'll flip back to romans chapter number eight romans chapter number eight and look at verse number 29
It says this romans 829 for whom he did foreknow. It sounds familiar, right?
He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the
Firstborn among many brethren moreover whom he did predestinate and he also called whom he called
And he also justified whom he justified them. He also glorified and we know elsewhere in the scripture
How is it that you become justified in the sight of god?
It's through faith in jesus christ who is it that is going to be conformed to the image of the son of god
It's those that believe in jesus christ
So he's saying god hasn't cast away his people whom he foreknow for whom he foreknew
What is he saying? Of course the jews that got saved god hasn't cast away those people
And so of course god still has a plan for israel in the sense that the physical jews that believe in jesus christ
Are still the children of god they still are the chosen people but not the ones that have not look at verse 3
Of romans 11 go back to romans 11 now
We're reading a prayer of the prophet elijah and just so you know the prophet elijah is in the old testament
And it's telling us what he prayed verse 3 lord they who's that physical israel they have killed by
Prophets it didn't jesus say the same thing in the gospels said you are the children of those that killed the prophets
And dig down nine out altars and I am left alone and they seek my life
You know elijah even in the old testament was praying against physical israel
Yet i'm sure that if someone was to pray against the nation of israel today
These independent fundamental baptist pastors would have a heart attack
But the prophet elijah in the old testament was praying against the nation of israel look at verse number four
But what sayeth the answer of god unto him? How did god answer elijah's prayer? He says i have reserved to myself
7 000 men who have not bowed the knee to the image of bail what god is saying is hey
There's still a remnant of the nation of israel that has not forsaken the lord
But you know what that implies it means that a large portion of the nation had forsaken the lord and if you read the bible
Constantly there's usually few that are actually faithfully following god
There's few that are obeying his commandments. There's few that are staying faithful to the god of the bible
What are most people doing? They're falling down and worshiping a golden calf
They're very quick to stray out of the path to forget god to forget his commandments
They're very quick to kiss the image of bail, but here there's 7 000 men that haven't done it
What does that mean that there's a remnant at that time now is there a remnant now?
We'll look at verse 5 even so then at this present time. So here in the new testament also
There is a remnant according to the election of grace saying just like there was a portion of israel back then
That hadn't forsaken god. It's the same way today
There is people today that are physical jews physical descendants of israel that believe in jesus christ
Those people are the remnant now notice it says the election of grace
What does it mean to be elect go to colossians chapter number three colossians chapter number three
Because if you're not familiar with the old ife if you're not familiar with replace or uh, dispensationalism
When most baptists see the word elect they just think in their mind jews they think in their mind israel
So every time a bible verse talks about the elect. It's about jews matthew 24 where it's talking about the rapture
That's written to the jews. I've heard sam git preach that many times
But look at what the elect actually is in verse 12 put on therefore as the elect of god
Holy and beloved boughs of mercies kindness humbleness of mind meekness
Long suffering so notice the elect. What are they? Holy separated set apart dedicated to god beloved
Now go ahead and turn to titus 1 while I read for you first. Thessalonians
One verse four says this knowing brethren beloved your election of god. So who are those that are elect?
It's those that are brothers of the apostle paul. It's those that are our brothers in christ. Those are the elect look at verse
Yeah, titus chapter number one verse one. It says this paul a servant of god and an apostle of jesus christ
According to notice the faith of god's elect and the acknowledging of the truth, which is after godliness
You know what you have to do to be elect and what does elect mean? It means chosen
What is it? What do you have to do to be chosen by god? You have to believe in jesus christ you have to
Acknowledge the truth do the people in the physical nation of israel today acknowledge the truth about anything
No, they don't you know, I saw this interview of this street preacher, which i'm against street preaching
But this street preacher walked up to this person who said that they were jew and asked them
Do you believe the torah do you believe the first five books of moses and they said nah not really and this is what?
People are waking up to the fact to be elect. What do you have to do you have to acknowledge the truth?
What is the truth the word of God the Lord Jesus Christ if you don't believe in Lord Jesus Christ?
You know what you don't believe in is the truth and so the Jews today. They just reject truth in general
They reject all of this book because if they believed any part of this book
You know who they would believe in the Lord Jesus Christ if you had believed in Moses you would have believed in me
How do I know a Jew doesn't believe the books of Moses because they don't believe in Jesus Christ because the Bible from Genesis to
Revelation is about Jesus Christ go back to Romans chapter number 11 Romans 11 says in verse 6 and if by grace
What's grace something we don't deserve unmerited favor, then is it what's the it?
We're talking about being elect the election of God
So it says and if by grace then being elect is no more of works
Otherwise grace is no more grace and he's like if you don't understand that let me say it another way
But if it if the election be of works, then is the election no more of grace
Otherwise work is no more work. If you read the book of Galatians, what do the Jews want to do?
What are the Judaizers want to do? They want to say that you're justified by works
They want to say that you're justified by the works of law getting circumcised by following the holy days by keeping the Sabbath
And you know, those are the same things that the Jews do today, but the Bible says hey if you're gonna be elect by grace
Then it can't be by works. Otherwise grace is no more grace. These words no longer have definitions, you know
This is a great verse to use out soul winning also because it explains the fact that you can't have grace and works
Mixed together for your salvation. It's one or the other we'll give verse number seven here
Says what then?
Israel now this is talking about the physical nation Israel hath not
Obtained that which he seeketh for but the election hath obtained it and the rest were blinded notice
This verse is contrasting two groups of people
Israel and the elect this proves that Israel cannot be the elect saying Israel the physical nation
They were seeking for something. They didn't find it
You know who did find it the people that are safe the people that are safe now
What were they looking for? Well go to Romans chapter number 10 flip back. You can't say I'm going out of context here
It's the same book. It's the previous chapter
What were they searching for look at verse number two says for I bear them record
That's Israel that they have a zeal of God
But not according to knowledge for they being ignorant of God's righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness
So what were they seeking to do? They were seeking to establish their own righteousness for salvation
It says have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Well, what's the righteousness of God?
Look at verse 4 for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness
To everyone that believe it and who is it that obtained that righteousness?
It's those that believe in Jesus Christ. The Jews were seeking to establish their own righteousness
They didn't find it why because they were doing it the wrong way
they were going to try to do it themselves when really they should have submitted themselves unto the righteousness of
God now go to verse number 8 of Romans 11 verse number 8, you know
So far this meme isn't making very much sense. Is it to me?
I don't see Romans 11 destroying replacement theology
I mean, it's it's actually bolstering our view greatly verse number 8 according as it is written
God have given them the spirit of slumber eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear
Unto this day and David saith let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense
Unto them go to Psalm 69
Psalm 69 and we'll see where David actually prayed this here in Romans 11 is quoting one of the Psalms that David wrote
Psalm 69 look at verse number 21
Says this they gave me also gall for my meat and in my thirst. They gave me vinegar to drink
What does that make you think of the cross Jesus Christ on the cross and it says verse 22?
Let their table become a snare before them and that what should have been for their welfare
Let it become a trap. How do we know who David is talking about here?
Well, Romans 11 told us that David was praying against Israel. So we're saying they gave me gall. What's that referring to?
Israel Jews when it says that in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink the Jews did that to the Lord Jesus Christ
Like all the Romans the ones that physically, you know appears to his side
Yeah, but you know the New Testament says that the Jews killed the Lord Jesus Christ verse 22
What is David praying? Let their table become a snare before them and that what should have been for their welfare
Let it be a trap. Let their eyes be darkened that they see not and make their loins
Continually to shake pour out thine indignation upon them and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them
Let their habitation be desolate and let none dwell in their tents for they persecute him
Whom thou hast smitten and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded add
Iniquity unto their iniquity and let them not come into thy righteousness
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living and not be written with the righteous
You know David is praying here
David's praying against the generation of Jews that would reject Jesus Christ that would literally have the God of the Bible
Crucified and killed on the cross, you know, he's praying for them
He's praying that they will not get saved and he's praying that they will be blotted out of the book of life and that they will
Go to hell now again, how would your average fundamental Baptist pastor react if someone was praying that today?
You know that tells me it tells me these guys are spending way too much time reading commentaries
reading fake books
Listening to Fox News and not just reading the words of God because here's David King David
He's of the lineage of Jesus Christ
He's of the lineage of Abraham and what is his attitude towards physical Israel? It's a anti Semitic message
Isn't it David today would be arrested if he was in England for anti-semitism
David today would be arrested in Germany if he prayed this for anti
Semitism, you know us in America
We're starting to go down the same path where even certain states in our nation are passing laws
That are laying the framework to where someday they can make this kind of preaching illegal
I wonder who would be behind wanting to stop us talking about the Jews. It's like are they here's thing
This is why people are waking up. They're making it so obvious like are they trying to make people not like Jews?
Like I feel like Jews goal is to make people hate them because when you have to make a law
Saying you can't say something negative about someone is because everyone hates that person
It's like adding the LGBT into the you know, Discrimination Act. Why why because everyone wants to discriminate against fags
No one wants to hire them. No one wants to be served by them. No one wants to even see them exist
It's the same thing a lot of time with these reprobate Jews
And here's the thing not all Jews are reprobates
But I'll tell you what the ones that crucified Jesus sure a lot of them if not all of them were and that generation said his
Blood be on us and on our children some of the most chilling words that have ever been spoken in this universe
To look at the God of heaven say let his blood be on us and on our children literally just cursing themselves and their future
Generations Romans chapter number 11. Let's keep reading here Romans chapter 11 verse 10
Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see and bow down their back all way
I say then have they stumbled that they should fall. He's saying did they just
Stumble just for the sole reason of them falling down just for the sake of it says no God forbid
There's a reason why but rather through their fall
Salvation has come unto the Gentiles for to provoke them to jealousy
So because the Jews rejected Jesus Christ naturally speaking
Where did the gospel go it went into the Gentile world and praise God for that
Thank God that the gospel went out into the Gentile world because those were the peoples that were actually receptive to the gospel
But what was one of the reasons why that happened?
One of the reasons why is that God was hoping to provoke the physical nation of Israel to jealousy
Why because he wants the whole world to be saved Jews and Gentiles and so God's desire
was that by Israel being cut off by Israel no longer being a special chosen nation by rather giving that nation to a spiritual nation and
Gentiles getting saved God's hope is that they would become jealous
Over their God who is the God of the Old Testament and that they would actually repent and believe in Jesus Christ
But the question is did that really ever happen?
No, it didn't and you know, here's what you gotta understand is that God's perfect will does not necessarily happen on this earth
Why is it that we have to pray for God's will to be done in heaven?
As it is an earth like Jesus Christ model to us because God's will doesn't just naturally automatically happen
Why because we don't believe in Calvinism. God isn't a puppet master that forces people to believe
No people actually have a choice and while of course it was God's desire for Israel to be saved
It was the Apostle Paul's desire for Israel to be saved. He actually went to the Jews for way too long
He wanted them to be saved so bad
They still didn't why because they had a choice and they rejected God verse 12
now if the fall of them be the riches of the world in the
Diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles how much more their fullness
What's he saying the world was blessed with the gospel and they were became rich
How much more if the Jews actually did that themselves? What's it saying?
You know only positive can come of the Jews believing in Jesus Christ. That's not a negative thing and here's the thing
It's not like we don't want Jews to be saved. It's not like we're saying we only want a Gentile
Christianity. No, we want both we want Jews
We want Gentiles to get saved to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ go to Ezekiel chapter number two now
Like I kind of mentioned ask yourself this question. Did the Jews do this? Did they believe in Jesus Christ?
Did they ever soften their hearts at any time? Well go to Ezekiel chapter number two
Look at verse number three and he said unto me son of man
I send thee to the children of Israel how does God describe them to a rebellious nation?
That hath rebelled against me they and their fathers have transgressed against me even unto this very day
They're the same in the New Testament as they were in the Old Testament
rebellious verse 4 for their impudent children and
Stiff-hearted I do send thee unto them thou shalt say unto them thus sayeth the Lord God and they whether they will hear
Whether they will forbear they are a rebellious house yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them notice
Ezekiel was sent and God literally told him you read this whole chapter. God literally told him
I'm sending you to the nation of Israel. You know what's gonna happen. They're not going to listen to you
They're not going to heed to your preaching. They're not gonna repent. They're not gonna soften their heart
they're just gonna continue to be impudent children and
Rebellious, you know, you should think about this out soul winning that if you get sent to a really unreceptive neighborhood
You should just say you know what?
I'm just gonna be the prophet Ezekiel today and whether they hear whether they will forbear
At least they'll know that a prophet has been among them
You know the prophet Ezekiel was a great man of God and I spent years and years
Soul winning in the Pacific Northwest where a lot of times I felt like the prophet Ezekiel
But you know what?
I think that you should still regardless of where you go soul winning just do your job and preach the gospel anyways without complaining
It's so funny to me how when I moved to Texas, you know the soul winning captain would be like, oh we only had two salvations
This neighborhood. I'm so sorry brother Dylan try to help you. I'm like, what are you talking about? Like that's amazing. That's great
You know someone once turned in a map to me and it said one salvation and then they wrote reprobate neighborhood
I'm just like do you know what that word means?
It's like even if no one got saved God told Ezekiel to go preach to them
Anyways, you got to realize that yes, we want to be soul winners
But really what God's called us to do is be soul warners
And so if you've done that you've done your job Romans 11 verse 13
Says for I speak to you Gentiles in as much as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles. I
Magnify mine office verse 14 if by any means I may promote
Provoke to emulation them which are my flesh and might save some of them
You know in previous verses we learned that God gave the gospel to the Gentiles in hopes of Jews becoming jealous and
Repenting and turning to God even the Apostle Paul
He says my goal in my ministry is to provoke to emulation meaning
I want to provoke the physical Jews to copy me to follow me and follow what I'm doing
Well, what did the Apostle Paul do he believed on the Lord Jesus Christ?
He embraced the New Testament he went out and preached the gospel and he said look
I want the physical Jews to copy me again
It doesn't sound like Romans 11 is saying that the special chosen
Physical nation of Israel is just fine how they are God still pleased with them
No Paul saying I want them to stop being how they are stop being believing what they believe and follow my example
Sounds like they need to change sounds like they're not okay
How they are verse 15 for if the casting a way of them be the reconciling of the world
They rejected Christ the Gentiles believed in them
What shall the receiving of them be but life from the dead look the Apostle Paul's attitude is like hey
Praise God that all these Gentiles got saved but wouldn't it be great if the Jews got saved, too
It'd be like they'd be resurrected. They'd have life from the dead. They're spiritually dead
What do they need to do be born again? It'd be life from the dead
You know what that means the Jews right now are dead means that the nation of Israel is dead
He's that they're not saved that they're not chosen now verse 16
It says for if the first fruit be holy the lump is also holy and if the root
Be holy so are the branches now if you remember the intro of the sermon this pastor John level
He said well the Jews are the root. Okay, go to John chapter number 15
I'm gonna show you that is absolutely not true now
Here's the thing when you're studying the Bible sometimes you have to be careful not to mix parables
Sometimes different things in one parable could represent something else in a different parable
But here's the nice thing about John 15 is it just tells you exactly what Jesus Christ means
Says in John chapter 15 verse 5 Jesus speaking said this I am the vine
Ye are the branches he that abideth in me and I in him the same bring it forth much fruit
For without me ye can do nothing
Jesus said I am the vine ye are the branches now think about what does a vine do or what does the root of a tree?
Do what it does is it delivers nutrients up through the root up through the vine to the branches doesn't that make sense with?
Salvation because where is our spiritual nutrition coming from is it coming from Jews? No, it's coming from the Lord of Jesus Christ
He's the word of God. He's the root. He's the vine and us branches
We get nutrition we get life through that root and Jews that believe on him they get life
They get nutrition from that root
You know saying that the Jews is the root is actually extremely blasphemous
Because you're what you're saying is that eternal life is coming from them
No, eternal life doesn't come through men
It comes through one person God the God man the Lord Jesus Christ go to Matthew chapter number 12 Matthew chapter number 12
What is it that produces fruit? Well, it's the tree the tree produces the fruit, right?
So would it make any sense to say that the Jews are the ones producing the fruit?
Look at Matthew 20 or Matthew 12 verse 33 either make the tree
Good and his fruit good or else make the tree corrupt in his fruit corrupt for the tree is known by his fruit
Bible says that in order to have a tree that has good good fruit
It must be a good tree
If it's a good tree will only bring forth good fruit if it's a bad tree will only bring bad fruit now
Let's think about this idea of the Jews being the root or the Jews being divine. Are the Jews a good tree?
No, they're not. You know who is good the Lord Jesus Christ
And so everything that Jesus Christ produces will be good fruit
But the Jews today are not producing good fruit, you know what they're producing
They're producing usury. They're producing slavery. They're producing pornography
They're producing sin and debauchery and filth. They're not producing anything good
You know what everything that the Lord Jesus Christ produced is good every person that believes on him that's grafted into that tree
We are now his good fruit. Why because he's good not because we're good go back to Romans 11
Says in verse 17 of Romans 11
It says and if notice this word some of the branches be broken off, you know
This is important truth to realize that you know
Not all
Physical Jews are reprobates or something like that because the Bible says that some of them were cut off from that tree meaning what?
Some others do believe in Jesus Christ says and if some of the branches be broken off and thou
Being a wild olive tree were grafted in among them and with them
Takest of the root and fatness of the olive tree. So notice we are kind of described as that wild olive tree
Why because our physical lineage our physical ancestry doesn't have a history going back thousands of years of
Having the Word of God the commandments the priesthood the service of God the tabernacle all those things, you know
Don't late don't let the Native Americans in Oklahoma tell you. Oh Christianity is a white man's religion. No, it's not
We're the wild olive trees us Gentiles. We're the wild olive trees
You know, my great great grandfather came to the United States from Norway and you know
What was happening in Norway for thousands of years?
Worshipping pagan Nordic gods. It's not like all I've got the white man's religion Christianity
No, actually the white man's religion was like this Viking paganism. That's the white man's religion the barbaric Vikings
You know, that's that's not the white man's religion. No, we're the wild olive trees wasn't natural to us
Now, what is grafting?
I looked it up and says this grafting and budding are horticultural techniques used to join parts from two or more plants
So that they appear to grow as a single plant in
Grafting the upper part of one plant grows on the root system of another plant in the budding process
A bud is taken from one plant and grown on another budding and grafting may increase the productivity of certain
Horticultural crops because they make it possible to do the following things
Now I'll get to the following things in a minute
But what it's saying is that grafting is just taking a branch from some random tree and putting it on an existing tree
Okay. Now, let's think about that spiritual application in a minute, but it says the reason that you do this
Partnally speaking is for the following reasons number one. It optimizes cross pollination and pollination
now God always uses carnal truths to illustrate spiritual truths and
Carnally speaking the reason why people that take care of trees do this is that it increases cross pollinate pollination. What is pollination?
Well, it's bringing forth fruit. It's reproduction, right?
Why is it that God wanted to bring the Gentiles into the fold into his tree?
Well, because he wanted us to go out and preach the gospel and to cross pollinate this world
Spiritually speaking did the Jews do that? No, they did not do that
They didn't go bring forth fruit unto God like the parable where they had the vineyard
No, they didn't do that the Gentiles are the ones that did that
here's another reason why people do this to repair damaged plants and to increase the growth rate of
Seedlings and you know all these things I can think of spiritual applications where you know
God wants to increase the growth rate of the kingdom of God
And so what's he gonna do?
He's gonna get the gospel to people that actually will obey his commandment to preach the gospel and that'll cause a
Rapid growth in the kingdom of God, you know, the gospel today is not being carried by physical Jews
No, it's being carried by being carried by random white people from Norway random black people from Africa random Mexicans
Random Greeks random Russians random Italians random Asian people. That's who's carrying the gospel today
it's not people that are of the physical descendancy of
Abraham verse number 18 verse number 18 of Romans 11 says this in Romans 18 11 Romans 11 18
Boast not against the branches, but if thou boast thou bearest not the root
But the root thee look we shouldn't get so prideful and think like aren't I special because I'm a part of this tree
It's like the only reason I'm a part of this tree is because the root is carrying me and who's the root?
Jesus Christ just like the only reason I'm going to heaven is because I've put my faith in trust in what Jesus Christ has done
For me not in my own merits
So it makes sense to boast to be a part of the spiritual nation because I didn't do anything
All I did was trust in the free gift of eternal life. And so there's no reason to boast we're not special
Jesus is special. We're not saved by anything we do we're saved by his grace meaning we don't deserve it verse 19
Since thou wilt say then branches were broken off that I might be grafted in he's saying
Oh, some of you think you're special because you're a Russian you're special because you're an American
It's like you're having the same bad attitude that the Jews have it's not that you're special is that Jesus is special verse 20
Well because of unbelief they were broken off and thou standest by faith be not high-minded
But fear for if God spared not the natural branches take heed
Lest he also spare not be saying look if you go down the same path that the nation of Israel did then you know
What your generations of people are gonna become?
Cursed just like them and isn't there nations today that aren't Jews that are cursed of God - how about China?
That's a nation that is cursed of God. That is a nation where Christianity is not thriving
Here's a nation that's cursed of God, North Korea. Here's a nation that is cursed of God, India
You know, there's a lot of nations today that are complete hellscapes
Terrible places to live and you want to know why that is it's because they rejected God and so you shouldn't get all prideful
And high-minded, you know
It's kind of good that a lot of people are waking up to the fact that Jews aren't special and that you know
Israel isn't our greatest ally but you also have especially in the youngest generation people going too far the other direction
where there's like this resurgence of like worship of Adolf Hitler and worship of the Nazis and white
Supremacism, but look there's nothing that makes you special about being white. There's nothing that makes you special about being an American
Look if you're on that tree, it's only because you're on there by grace
And so no matter what race you are, you know what you should be
You should be not high-minded, but rather you should fear God and realize well if my children don't believe in Jesus Christ
And all the white people are not gonna believe in him and be cursed too
If I if I want to be blessed a blessing unto white people I should get them to believe in the gospel
I want to be a blessing unto Mexicans. I should get them to believe in the gospel regardless of their skin color
They'll be special if they have the grace of God in their lives verse go to Romans chapter number 10
Romans 10 flip back one chapter look at verse 12. It says this for there is no
Difference between the Jew and the Greek for the same Lord overall is rich unto all that call upon him
There's no
difference between
Someone that's a descendant of Abraham and some random Greek person some random German
There's no difference between them and you know, I hate to break it into these white supremacists
You know the last two years in a row at the Mighty Men's competition year one. I got beat by black dude year two
I got beat by Mexican. So what's up with the white supremacy?
I keep getting beat because there is no white supremacy. It's retarded. It's foolishness stupid verse go back to a
Romans 11 Romans 11 verse 24 Romans 11 24
Says for if thou were cut out of the olive tree
Which is wild by nature and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree
How much more shall these who are the V's physical Jews which be the natural?
Branches notice how the Bible defines itself Jews. They're not the root
It says these which are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree
You know, don't get this stupid idea that oh, yeah Jews are the root
So God still has a plan for Israel because if you read Romans chapter 11 makes it very clear that the Jews are the root
No, the Bible literally says these which are the natural branches read your Bible
Let it define itself for you. The physical Jews are the natural branches. What does the Bible say?
Some of them were cut off some of them rejected Christ some of them believed in Christ
That's what it's teaching verse 25 for I would not brethren that you should be ignorant of this mystery
We got a lot of people that are ignorant of this mystery today. They're called fundamental Baptists
Unfortunately lest ye should be wise in your own conceits that blindness in part is
Happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in go to John chapter number 9 John chapter number 9 notice
Here you saying I don't want you to be ignorant about this blindness in part has happened to Israel now
What does blindness represent in the Bible not being saved right verse John chapter 9 look at verse number 39
Jesus is preaching here to a group of physical Jews and it says in verse 39 and Jesus said for judgment
I am come into this world that they which see not might see and that they which see might be made blind
You know when we go out soul-winning, isn't it?
Isn't it much better to find someone that really doesn't believe anything or doesn't have a lot of false teaching then someone that's like
Oh, yeah, I'm a hundred percent sure I'm saved
It's by baptismal generation and it's by repenting of my sins as by confessing my sins to the priest
Is that a person that's easy to be saved? No, it's not why because he thinks that he can see he's like
Oh, I've got it all figured out. You know, what's great is when you show up to someone and they're like, I can't see anything
I have no idea what you tell me
What does it take to get to heaven then we bring them sight we're looking verse 40 and some of the Pharisees
Which were with him heard these words and said unto him. Are we blind also?
They've got some perception here. Jesus said unto them if you were blind you should have no sin
you know what he's saying if you would actually humble yourselves and not think that you're some special chosen person because you're of the
Presidency of Abraham, you know, you'd actually be humble you'd realize that truly spiritually you're blind right now and you need to see
But look at verse look at verse 41. It says this but now ye say we see Jesus doesn't say oh you could actually say he says
You're saying that you could see therefore your sin remaineth, you know, that's what it's talking about in Romans 11
Where it says that blindness and part is happened Israel. How are they blind? They're blind because they think that they could see they're blind because they think
That they have the law and because they have the law they're safe
But really what are they they're blind and it's great when you can come up to someone in this world that's saying hey
I'm blind. Please help me and you know what it takes to get saved as humility is to realize I'm blind
I need someone to guide me. I need someone to save me
I can't do it by myself and they put their faith in Christ go to verse 26 of Romans 11 Romans 26 or Romans 11 26
So remember that thought that he just said blindness and part is happen to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in
You can study Luke chapter 21 if you want to learn more about that
We're not gonna have time to go in that this morning, but look at verse 26
It says and so all
Israel shall be saved as it is written there shall come out of Sion the deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from
Jacob what is this saying? So remember first what did we learn? They are not all Israel which are of Israel
There's two different types of Israel those that are physical Jews those that believe in Jesus Christ read Romans chapter 2. What are we?
We're the true Jews. We're the true Israel
We're the spiritual Israel because we believe in him what this is saying is and so all
Israel shall be saved as it is written there shall come out of Sion the deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob
You know someday the Lord Jesus Christ is going to physically reign in the physical nation of Israel
And you know what he's gonna do when he's ruling and reigning. He's gonna rule with a rod of iron
You know what he's gonna do. He's going to turn away
ungodliness from that land and someday during the millennial reign of Christ
Physical Israel for the first time in all of human history will also be spiritual Israel
Everyone living there will be saved. That's why he says and all Israel shall be saved
So guess what? Yes, God still has a plan for Israel today
You know what that plan is that Jesus Christ would rule and reign in that land and that everyone living there would believe in him
You know, it's not this weird view this weird Calvinist view that even though even though they rejected Christ
Even though they murdered Christ, even though they said let his blood be on us and on our children
Even though now they spit on the ground at the name of Jesus Christ
Even though now they're trying to ban us from social media
Ban us from YouTube pass laws to get us to not talk about what the Bible says about Jews someday
They're all just gonna magically turn their hearts away from that and just believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That's a lie
That's a fairy tale. That's a false doctrine
It's not what the Bible teaches verse 27 for this is my covenant unto them when I shall take away
Their sins that hasn't happened to the Jews in Israel. They're not special verse 28 as
Concerning the gospel they what's the they physical Jews as concerning the gospel
They are enemies for your sakes. Isn't that true today?
Isn't that true that the Jews are our enemies today in this world?
Isn't it true that really the Bible says they're contrary to all men and Jews today are
Implementing things in society that are really attacking all men. Not just Christianity. Like I'd mentioned before usury
Where does that come from? It comes from Jews
There's a reason they've been kicked out of tons and tons of countries in this world is because of their predatory lending practices
What are Jews doing today? They're destroying families with pornography
I mean the CEO of this site only fans is a Jew and I didn't even realize this but apparently I don't know five ten
Years ago it didn't even used to be a site had that kind of stuff used to be a completely different site
So apparently some Jew bought it and he's like, oh, I know what I'll turn this site into pornography. What is that doing?
That's destroying families today. That's destroying marriages today. It's destroying children today
Kids are getting exposed to this stuff at extremely young ages and you know, the Jews are attacking those children by doing that
It says but is touching the election who's the elect save people they so that spiritual Israel are beloved for the father's sake
You know, of course God wants these physical Jews to be saved
He does want them to become elect but it is gonna take their own willpower to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
But right now, where do they stand enemies go to first Thessalonians chapter number two first Thessalonians chapter number two
You know, we need some Christians to be able to stand up today and say what the Bible says that the physical Jews of this
World are our enemies today and that they are the enemies of God instead of worshiping Israel
Why don't you worship your Bible and actually believe what it says first Thessalonians to 14 for ye brethren?
Became followers of the churches of God which in Judea or in Christ Jesus for ye
also have suffered like things of your own countrymen even as they have of the who Jews who both killed the Lord Jesus and
Their own prophets and have persecuted us and they please not God and are contrary to all men
What do they do?
Forbidding us to speak unto the Gentiles that they might be saved. They always want to stop what you say
They always want to control what your speech is hate speech to fill up their sins all way
But the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost the Bible says he that believeth on the Sun have everlasting life
He that believeth not the Sun shall not see life
But the wrath of God abideth on him and so the wrath is upon the Jews today wrath is upon
Physical nation of Israel today. God has a plan for Israel, but it's not to bless physical descendants of Abraham
It's to bless those that believe in Jesus Christ go to the first John chapter 2 first John chapter 2
you know several years years ago, I went to an old life be church for about three years and
I disagreed strongly with their views on Zionism
I disagreed strongly with their views on the preacher rapture, but one day this girl called me while I was at work and said hey
I've got this friend that believes that the rapture comes after the tribulation
Can you help me debunk what he's saying and I was like, oh actually, you know, he's right
And then a few weeks later
I get a call from the pastor of this giant church running hundreds and hundreds of people that wants to meet with me and
Long story short, he's like, you know, I hear you've been listening this guy in Arizona
And I'd really like for you to meet Sam Gibb and to meet with him and for him to kind of explain to you
Why the Jews are still God's chosen people and why the rapture is actually pre-trib and you know, I was like well
You know pastor I really if there's anything I need to be corrected on I'd like to just be corrected from you
You're my pastor and he's like, well, I don't really know the issue do well
So I want you to I want you to meet with Sam Gibb
It's like you've been a pastor for 30 years and you can't understand these verses that we're going through this morning
So Sam Gibb just blows up my phone for weeks and weeks and I ignore him
I never ended up meeting with him, but you you want to know why I didn't go meet with Sam Gibb
Okay
first of all because he's an unsaved heretic that's gonna split hell wide open because he says that Jesus isn't the Messiah if you're a
Gentile and denies the name of Jesus Christ. Okay. That's one reason why I didn't want to go see that freak
Here's another reason why because I have the Word of God that I could read myself and look at first John 2 verse 22
This is this who is a liar, but he that deny it that Jesus is the Christ. He is anti Christ
That denieth the father and the son. That's a pretty clear verse to understand
I don't need some dispensationalist Bible College professor who denies that Jesus is the Messiah
To explain this verse away to me
It says if you deny the father if you deny the son you're an anti Christ
And why would I want to go meet with someone to waste my time?
Someone to tell me why I should love anti Christ Christians need to stop loving anti Christ today
Stop loving the nation of Israel the United States of America needs to say hey if you're an anti Christ you're automatically our enemies
what did God we had a president that instead of worshipping at their stupid wall and giving all this homage and respect to the
False religion of Judaism stood up and said you know what Judaism is a false religion
It's sending people to hell they're anti Christ and they're now enemies of the United States
How about you get a pack the hell out of our country paying off every single politician in Congress?
Literally running our entire nation
Why don't we have any leaders in America that actually have the guts to say what needs to be said?
Because they're all paid off because they're all paid off by the Jewish dollar
Does whosoever deny it the son the same half not the father he that acknowledge it the son half the father?
Also, you know, it's embarrassing that Christians that are saved and pastors that are saved
Use their influence use their pulpit to get God's people to love
Antichrists, you know, I think those people are gonna pay for that
I think God is gonna judge them for that what one two pastors saved or unsaved that get up and
Exalt Antichrist you want to know why the Bible says that if it were possible
even the elect would be deceived someday by the Antichrist and the
The Antichrist himself because look at how how confused Christians are right now on this issue
I mean we have such a clear verse that if you deny the son you don't have the father you're an Antichrist
We have an entire nation of people that's a group of people that say you know what rallies us together
We're all a nation that hates Jesus Christ and then here we have the United States of America
Which was founded on the Bible which our laws were founded on scripture which people?
Universally believed the Word of God in our nation we now look at the nation of Israel and say those are our friends
That's our greatest ally that's wicked as hell go back to Romans chapter number 11 Romans chapter 11 Romans 11
verse 29 for the gifts and callings of God or without repentance for as he in times past have not believed God he now have
Obtained mercy through their unbelief even so have these also now not believed that through your mercy
They have may obtain mercy for God have concluded them all in unbelief that he might have mercy upon all
Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God how unsearchable are his judgments and his ways
Past finding out who hath known the mind of the Lord who hath been his counselor who hath first given to him
And it shall be recompense unto him again for of him and through him and to him are all things to whom the glory
forever
Amen last place will have you turn as Galatians chapter number six notice who is supposed to get the glory
Notice who's supposed to get the praise notice who's supposed to get the honor. It's the Lord Jesus Christ
It's God the Father. That's who's supposed to be getting the glory
But who do Christians want to give the glory to today they want to glorify Israel
They want to glorify God hating Jews
They want to fly the Israel flag in their church today instead of glorifying the father instead of glorifying the son
So I'm glorifying the Holy Spirit. They glorify
Antichrist look at Galatians chapter number six verse 12
It says this as many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh
They constrain you to be circumcised only less they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ those Jews and Judaizers
They don't want to glorify God. What do they want to do? They want to make a fair show in the flesh
They want to glorify themselves
That's what they want to do verse 13 for neither
They buy themselves for neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law
But desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh
God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ
By whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world for in Jesus Christ neither
Uncircumcision availeth anything nor uncircumcision but a new creature and as many as walk according to this rule peace on them and mercy
And notice and upon the Israel of God, you know, let us not glory in our flesh
That's not glory because we're white or because we're Asian or because we're Mexicans
You know, let us glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ and Jews today. They need to stop glorifying in their flesh
Glorifying in their bloodline and you know what they need to do. They need to humble themselves and say, you know what?
I'm blind and glory in the cross of Jesus Christ
You know the application for churches today and for preachers is that we should not be supporting Israel
We should not be supporting the nation of Israel. We should not vote to support them
We should not send our sons and daughters to die to go fight in wars between some stupid Islamic group and Jews
Because here here's the message, you know, the message is anti Israel this morning
Let me also tell you Islam also bad Islam also bad
You know you got a lot of Americans say yeah, they're against Jews because they like Hamas for some reason
It's like no both of these religions suck both of these religions will turn your nation into hell both of these religions will take you
To hell literally and you know what America needs to be a nation that stands on the Bible and nuts to every other religion
No, I don't have any respect whatsoever for Jews. No, I don't have any respect whatsoever for Muslims
I don't have any respect for Mormons. I don't have any respect for Catholics. I have respect under the God of the Bible
Into the doctrines of the Bible and you know what pastor John Lovell?
I hope I hope you believe what the Bible says
I hope you delete your stupid meme because it was a major facepalm. I got secondhand cringe, bro
No, no Romans 11 doesn't destroy
Dispensationalism just you need to actually read it. You need to actually slow down
See what it says because Romans chapter 11, you know what it teaches us. Yes
God still has a plan for Israel, but it's not physical Jews. It's those that believe in Jesus Christ. Let's have a word of prayer
Or thank you for your word. Thank you for your son. Jesus Christ. Thank you for the gift of salvation
I just pray that every single person this world would be humbled and that they would desire to put their trust in you
Wouldn't trust in their bloodline or their flesh and that they would just trust in you your son for salvation
I just pray for this upcoming generation that is starting to wake up on this issue
I pray that they would have the biblical view on this that they wouldn't go too far in the other
Direction and become racist Lord. Let's pray that you bless our church. Help us to understand these things
Help us to read our Bible. Love you in Jesus name we pray. Amen
