Pastor Shane Vaughn Teaches "Two Houses Of Israel" Part 3

Pastor Shane Vaughn Teaches "Two Houses Of Israel" Part 3 Shane Vaughn ——— First Harvest Ministries International 1 Isaiah 53 and 5. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. And with his stripes we are healed. Now, you know me, I have the unfortunate job of busting balloons. And I have the unfortunate job of trying to unlearn people so that they can know the truth. And it's not an easy job. I don't like it. I don't I want to believe what I've always believed. But tonight I'm going to show you this scripture in the proper biblical exegesis. 2 Now, when you just take that scripture without reading all of Isaiah 53, when you read Isaiah 53, it was written to the lost tribes of Israel. Okay? Isaiah was a prophet to which kingdom, the southern or the northern? The northern, which is the lost tribes of Israel. This prophecy is not to the world. Because the world had not transgressed against God. Do you know why? Because the law was not given to the world. It was given to Israel. The world has never transgressed the law of God. Why? They were never given the law of God. 3 He said unto my people, "If you will obey me." He didn't tell the world. He said, "If you will obey me, you'll be my people." So, up to this point only Israel had transgressed the law. So, this last line that we all love for divine healing, I'm going to have to take it away from you. And I hate to do it because here's the problem. We use this verse, "By his stripes we are healed," as if healing didn't begin until his stripes. Maybe God's been healing people from Genesis. His people. There was no stripes. You don't need stripes for healing. Healing is in the covenant. 4 Healing is the children's bread. So, BY HIS STRIPES, BROTHER VON, MY HEADACHE is healed by the stripes of Jesus. No, God was healing headaches before there were ever any stripes. How do you think he raised the Shunammite woman's son? How do you God's been healing people since the garden of Eden. He didn't need stripes to heal your headache. So, tonight I want to teach you the real meaning of this verse. Let's read it again. Verse five, "But he was wounded for Israel's transgressions. He was bruised for Israel's iniquities. THE CHASTISEMENT of our peace was up of Israel's peace was upon him. 5 And with his stripes, Israel is healed. Go with me to the book of Acts chapter 2 verse 38 and verse 39. Brother Branham, are you saying God don't love the stranger? Oh, he does. But you got to know God's timing. Acts 2:38 through 39. Then Peter said unto them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you." Before this lesson's over tonight, you are going to understand water baptism and it's going to blow your mind. The purpose of water baptism. I've heard Ain't nobody heard better water baptism preaching than I have. I grew up, that's all we heard. 6 Every service, Acts 2:30 Look, people walked in our church, we had an Acts 2:38 ready for them when they walked through the door. That's all we preached. So if anybody knows baptism, I've heard the best sermons on baptism. But I have a feeling tonight, you may hear baptism in a way that's going to blow everything else out the water you've ever understood about water baptism. 7 "Repent and be baptized every one of you verse 38 in the name of" Well, we know originally it would have said Yeshua Hamashiach "for the washing away or the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you." Tell me who you is. Who? Who was he talking to? The Jewish people. And then he said that this promise was for another group of people. Those that are afar off. My question to you tonight is do you know who it was that was afar off? Ladies and gentlemen, until you know, and I'm going to show you in the Bible tonight who it is. 8 Until you know, then you I told my wife today at the house, I said, "I'm afraid that our church I have failed." I told her this. I don't believe our congregation truly knows who they are. The reason I say that, you could never be discouraged one day in your life if you knew that Israel is the apple of Yahweh's eye and you are Israel. I don't know how to be discouraged. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW. RIGHT WHEN THINGS LOOK BAD, I REMIND MYSELF THE CREATOR of the universe calls me his own. He said that I am the apple OF HIS EYE. 9 When you truly know that you're not a Gentile, don't ever ever let anyone tell you that you're a Gentile believer. There's no such thing. How many gates are there in the New Jerusalem? 12. Is there a Gentile name on any of those gates? You're not going into that city if you're a Gentile. That's why Paul said, "In times past, you were Gentiles, but you're no longer a Gentile." That can leave you one choice. YOU'RE EITHER A GENTILE OR YOU'RE ISRAELITES. AMEN. You may be seated tonight. I want to talk to you about this promise of the Holy Ghost. 10 And and I want to talk to you about Isaiah talking about by his stripes we are healed. Let's go to Matthew 11:1 and brother um Brother Jonathan, would you grab that mic and read these verses for me real quickly? Read them in the microphone so they can pick it up on the video. In the morning at 9:00 will be live Zoom Bible study instead of 11 because I have to drive to Jackson, Mississippi tomorrow to see my mother. Yes, sir. Matthew 11:1 and you can bring that mic to your seat over there if you want to. I know your wife's missing you already. I can see it in her eyes. Hallelujah. Praise God. 11 Hallelujah. Amen. Let's read 11 through verse 3. 11:1-3. And it came to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding his 12 disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in the in their cities. Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ he sent two of his disciples and said unto him, "Art thou he that should come or do we look for another?" All right, let's pause there. So, here's the question. Are you really the Messiah? This is John the Baptist asking Christ, "Are you really the Messiah?" Now, I'm sorry, John the Baptist. 12 I thought you were the one that told the whole world, "Behold the Lamb of God." Now, here you are at questioning whether he's the Messiah or not. So, in questioning Christ, Jesus Christ gives him an answer. Yeshua sends him an answer. I want you to hear me carefully. The answer that Yeshua sends to Yakonan or John, the answer that he sends has more mystery behind it than you will ever understand until tonight. Here is the response that Jesus Christ gives John the Baptist. Read. Jesus answered and said unto them, "Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see." All right. 13 Next screen, Brother E.J. Let's read, brother, verse 5 and verse 6. The blind receive their sight. Number one, the proof that I'm the Messiah is that the blind receive their sight. Whoopee. The magicians were healing people's sight for many years. So, the devil can heal sight. If you think he's talking about sight. Amen. This Wait till we get there and you're going to see something tonight. Jesus said, "Tell him the blind receive Receiving their sight." Next? And the lame walk. The lame walk. Hey, the devil been causing the lame to walk through fake magicians and fake healers. 14 Is that really the proof? I thought the Bible told me that it that many would come doing these things. Come on. Next? The lepers are cleansed. Ah, now, I want you to focus on that word, "The lepers are cleansed." I want you to hear those words. Tell John that the lepers are cleansed. Read. And the deaf hear. The deaf hear. The dead are raised up. Yes. And the poor have the gospel preached to them. All right, we have four groups of We have four categories here. Blind, lame, lepers, deaf, dead, and poor. 15 AND YESHUA SAID, "GO TELL John what you're seeing." That this group of people, whomever they are. Read the next verse, verse six. And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me. Now, notice, why did Jesus say that? Why did he tell John, "Blessed is he who is not offended in me"? Remember the elder brother in the prodigal son. He was offended in the younger brother. And what was being done for Oh, come on. John the Baptist is of the tribe of Judah. He is a Jew. 16 And here IS CHRIST GOING OUT TO THE LOST SHEEP OF the house of Israel, and Judah is offended that he would GO TO THEM INSTEAD OF COMING TO JOHN'S prison and checking on the Jew first. You need TO UNDERSTAND TONIGHT, JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS OFFENDED because the older brother always gets offended at the tribes of Ephraim getting the first attention. That's right. And here IS YESHUA FORGETTING JOHN THE BAPTIST. He left HIM IN A JAIL TO ROT. WHY? Because the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Hallelujah. You're the last. 17 YOU AND I ARE THE LAST and the JEWISH PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED THAT WE ARE RECEIVING THE HOLY GHOST, THAT WE ARE RECEIVING MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS WHILE THEY ARE BEING IGNORED. COME ON. THAT'S GOOD. HOWEVER, you've got to understand who these poor are. I want to read to you from page nine of the Midrash Rabbah, which is an old old Israeli book. Israel sinned against God and became all of the things we just read about. They became blind. They became deaf. They became lame, poor and leprous. 18 SO, JESUS TOLD JOHN, "TELL JOHN THAT THOSE PEOPLE THE BLIND, THE LAME, TELL HIM I'VE GOT TO GO TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL FIRST." WHY? BECAUSE THE JEWS HAVE REJECTED ME AND THEY HAVE SENT ME TO FIND those that were last. When Israel stood at Mount Sinai and they agreed to marry Yahweh and they agreed to live by the law of God, there was not one person among them according to the Midrash. There was not one person among them blind, deaf, lame, or leprous. Everyone, the Bible said God looked upon them and said they are all fair. 19 Meaning that Israel stood perfect without one blemish when they walked in the covenant of God. But they DID WHAT? THEY SINNED. AND RIGHT AFTER they sinned, he Well, before they sinned, he said, "Thou art all fair, my beloved." He wouldn't call lepers fair. They were all fair. Every one of them in Israel WAS FAIR. BUT AFTER THEY sinned and broke the commandments, not many days passed before there was among them leprosy, lameness, blindness, dumbness, deafness, lunatics, and dullards. And then God gave this order in the book of Numbers. 20 "Let them put out of the camp every leper and everyone that has an issue." Before they broke the commandments, they had no issue. They had no leprosy. They were walking fair before Yahweh. When you're walking in holiness, you're walking in fairness before Yahweh. He looks upon you and sees you as sanctified. But when they broke the commandments, the Bible said immediately Yahweh said, "Everyone" There was none that had leprosy before then, but the curse of sin will always make you separate from the church. Yes, that's right. 21 You watch people when they quit coming to church, there's a problem somewhere. I promise you. YOU WATCH WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO START GETTING outside the camp. There's something working inside of them and it's coming out because they want to be outside of the congregation of the righteous. When you get ready to go into the world, your headaches will start at church time every week. WHEN YOU START GETTING READY TO GO BACK INTO THE WORLD, your your sickness will get worse on Friday evening. THAT WHY? BECAUSE YOU NEED A reason to get outside of the congregation, away from this holy place. 22 He said, "Tell the lepers they can't stay in the congregation." Why? Leprosy is just as contagious as Omicron. When it starts in the church, it spreads. And this pastor said, "Put them out." "Get them out. God said, 'Put them out.'" Now, I want you to notice, they were in the church, but when they broke the commandments, they developed leprosy. And now they had to be put afar off. I'm going to say it again for those of y'all that just missed it. They had to be put afar off. They can't be near. They are now called They're in exile. They are lepers and they've been put a far off. Next screen. 23 Exile is a punishment for having leprosy. And number 7 and 3, let's read it, brother Jonathan. They send out of the camp every leper. Read number 7 and 3 and this is the punishment for having leprosy. and 3 I got these pages. Where's Nope. Yep. That's it. And they brought their offering before the Lord, six covered wagons, 12 oxen, a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox, and they brought them before the tabernacle. Now, they brought Why did they bring an offering? Because they had been lepers. Read numbers 1 and 2 now. 24 And let's watch I want to show you what God has done for you. Read numbers 1 and 2. Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel after their families by the house of their fathers with the number of their names, every male by their poll. Now, he said, "I want you to take everybody into the congregation except and as you read except for the lepers." Read numbers 5 and 2. Command the children of Israel that they put out the camp every leper and everyone that hath an issue and whosoever is defiled by the dead. 25 Whosoever is defiled they cannot be in the congregation of the righteous. Put the lepers away from the holy place. Put the lepers away from holy things. Every one of you tonight need to understand when you are reading in your Bible about the lepers, you are reading about the lost tribes of the house of Israel that had broken the commandments of God and they had been put away a far off in exile outside the camp. You need to know that. Next screen. Leprosy is a punishment from departing from the law of God. He said, "Command the children of Israel." Israel has transgressed the commandments. 26 They have incurred THE PENALTY OF WHAT? BEING SENT a far off. In exile. Let them send them away from the camp. Let's read Jeremiah 15 and 1 and I want you to follow. When you read in the book of Acts chapter 2 and 39 about those that are a far off, you think that's referring to the whole world. I'm going to teach you tonight there's only one group of people that were sent away a far off into exile. Amen. Read Jeremiah 15 and 1. Thank you, Lord. Go ahead. Go ahead, sister. If you got it, go ahead. Read. stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people. 27 Cast them out of my sight, and let them not go forth. Cast And let them go forth. Cast them, Israel. Cast them out of my sight. Put them afar off. Put them in outer darkness. Put them in exile. Is it because God was through with them? No. But for the time of the Gentiles, for a season, they have to be afar off. Yes. Put them out of my sight. Why? They broke the commandments. They forsook the Sabbath. Now, why is this important? Because all your life, you read Isaiah and by his stripes we are healed. And you thought that was talking about your headache. Next screen. 28 I'm going to make it plain as soon as I can get through these scriptures. Now, let's read Numbers 7 and 10. The children of Israel indicates that they were destined to do repentance, and if they repent, they would be redeemed. Read Numbers 7 and 10. And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering for the the All right. Now, go to Isaiah 30 and 15, and I want you to see what has to be done if God has put you a far off, and what has to be done if you are a leper. I want to say this to all of you here tonight. 29 Every one of you were born as lepers. Every one of you had been put outside the camp because you were born in rebellion. You were born in sin, shapen in iniquity. You were a born leper. But by His stripes you were healed of your leprosy and brought back. Oh, hallelujah. I'm wanting to preach this thing so bad. OH, HALLELUJAH. BY HIS STRIPES YOUR LEPROSY WAS HEALED, NOT YOUR HEADACHE, YOUR LEPROSY. You was a sick puppy. You had an infection inside of you called rebellion. It was there the moment you were born. What do you think TEACHES A CHILD TO TOUCH WHAT THEY'RE told not to touch? 30 There is an innate nature in a human being. IT'S AN INFECTION, AND IT STARTS AT BIRTH. IT'S A REBELLIOUS INFECTION. ANYBODY TELLS YOU HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE, YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE IT THE TOTAL OPPOSITE WAY. YOU'RE INFECTED WITH REBELLION. THAT REBELLION SAYS, "I'LL LIVE MY LIFE MY WAY. I'LL DO IT MY WAY." THAT WILL CREATE WITHIN YOU A LEPROSY THAT MAKES YOU A FAR OFF FROM GOD. You were a born leper. You were born with this disease. But he was wounded for that transgression. He was bruised for that iniquity. And by his stripes your leprosy has been healed. 31 Your leprosy has been healed and now you're welcome back inside the camp of the house of Israel. Your leprosy was cleansed BY THE STRIPES OF CALVARY. AND what you've been healed of, I can tell every one of you, if God never heals me of cancer, if he never heals my deaf ear, he healed me of leprosy and that's good ENOUGH FOR ME. BY HIS STRIPES, I HAVE BEEN HEALED. I WAS A LEPER, BUT NOW I'M CLEAN BEFORE YAHWEH. BY HIS STRIPES, I AM HEALED. I'm not a leper NO MORE. TELL JOHN THE LEPERS. TELL JOHN THE LEPERS ARE BEING HEALED. THAT'S THOSE THAT ARE AFAR OFF, THE LOST TRIBES OF THE HOUSE of Israel. 32 I believe in divine healing, but the greatest healing you'll ever get is the healing of leprosy. The healing that separated you from your God. IF YOU DIE WITH A DISEASE, DON'T LET IT BE LEPROSY. BE THOU MADE WHOLE. HALLELUJAH. WOO! Isaiah 30:15 For thus saith the Lord God Thus saith Yahweh of Israel the holy one of Israel Yes. In returning and rest shall ye be saved. In In what? How How you going to be saved? In what? In No, no. In what? In returning. What did they read again? In returning and In returning! There's the 10 LOST TRIBES. 33 HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BE SAVED WHEN you are no LONGER A FAR OFF, BUT YOU HAVE RETURNED? THEN YOU SHALL BE SAVED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST. IT'S NOT REPENTANCE, IT'S RETURNING. RETURNING FROM WHERE YOU ONCE WERE IN THE MIND OF GOD. Come on. That's good. You are the house of Israel. You're not a gentile. You went to the gentile land like the prodigal son. You slept with the pigs. You thought you was a pig. YOU THOUGHT YOU WAS A GENTILE. BUT WHEN THE FATHER the boy came to himself, that's returning. He returned BACK FROM GENTILEISM BACK TO the house of Israel. 34 It's just like tonight, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight all over the world Christians believe that this is New Year's Eve. Who told them that? Let me ask you. Who told them that? GOD OR MAN? CELEBRATE A lie if you want to. I'LL CELEBRATE THE TRUTH. GOD SAID WHEN THE NEW Year begins Israel, don't sleep with pigs. We don't go to pig parties. We don't celebrate with pigs. We don't think like pigs. WE DON'T EAT PIGS. WE ARE NOT PIGS. WE ARE THE LAMBS OF GOD, THE PASSOVER LAMBS OF GOD. WE HAVE RETURNED. AMEN. WE HAVE RETURNED. BROTHER VON, WHAT'S THE harm in celebrating New Year's tonight? 35 What's the harm in telling a lie? I got one question for everybody on YouTube. All you bunch of folks that inbox me and blow me up because of your dumbness and you think YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. I WANT TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION. DID GOD SAY TONIGHT IS THE NEW YEAR? WHAT? DID GOD SAY IT? WHO SAID IT? MAN LIES, women lie. God don't lie. You can't call New Year's when it's the dead of winter. Bunch of dummies. HOW YOU GOING TO CALL A DEAD WINTER A NEW YEAR? LOOK OUTSIDE. DO YOU SEE ANY RABBITS? DO YOU HEAR any chickadees? DO YOU SEE ANY FLOWERS BLOOMING? 36 Brother Von, why are you so focused on that stuff? That stuff is called truth. And the day truth no longer means everything is the day it no longer means anything. Teach your children lies if you want to. Teach them lies if you want to. But on March the 23rd, we will be here with our fireworks, our peas, AND OUR CABBAGE. WHY? TO CELEBRATE THE TRUTH. It is not easy coming out of the lies. IT'S NOT EASY. ONLY THE STRONG ARE GOING TO make it. The pull of THE DARKNESS IS STRONG. THE PULL OF THE LIES IS STRONG. YOU KNOW WHY? Because everything Satan's ever created looks harmless. 37 But when you Who Who created time? Yahweh. Who created time? Hello. Who has the copyright to it? Who has the power to say, "This is the new year"? Now, what happens when you say something else? And the Bible said they will love the lie more than the truth. That's right. Don't add or take away from his word. God's going to have a people in the last days that loves truth. They love it. They live for it. The leprosy of lies. God wants us delivered from it. The reason we're celebrating We're not celebrating tonight is not because we want to be weird. We want to be right with God. 38 And if God We actually want to line up with God. I tell you what. Come here, son. Come stand on my right. Brother, come stand on my left. Now, in this life, I've got to choose a dance partner. I got to choose a dance partner. I ain't got many good choices here, but I got to choose a dance partner. Now, this one tells me the truth when it's New Year's. March 23rd. Okay. That's what he tells me. When is New Year's? What is January? Okay. When the god Janus Do you know the god Janus what it is? 39 Why they move New Year's to worship the god Janus with two heads in the front and the back looking forward looking back in January. So now I have to choose who I'm going to get in sync with the truth or the lie. And whenever you get in sync with truth, you become a powerhouse for the work of God. Why? Because you are walking in unity with the Father. Thank you all. You've got to choose your dance partner. Truth or lies? Don't be a leper by believing the lies. Now let's read Ezekiel 36 and 25. And I want to show you what must happen for your leprosy to be cleansed. 40 Read Ezekiel and we're going to do verse chapter 36 verse 25. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you and you shall be clean from all your filthiness and from all your idols will I cleanse you. There's your water baptism. When you get ready to return and be cleansed from your leprosy, you had to go to the priest and you had to have water sprinkled upon you. Ladies and gentlemen, when you decide to return to the god of your fathers. When you decide to return to truth, he said, "I will sprinkle you with water and I will cleanse you." What did Acts 2:38 say? 41 "And be baptized for the remission of your transgression or your sin OR YOUR LEPROSY." WHEN YOU WHAT BY GOD, IF YOU'RE READY TO BE CLEANSED, YOU MUST BE BAPTIZED in his name. Then I will cleanse you with clean water. And I will heal you. When you went down in that water, that was him taking your leprosy of rebellion and lies away from you and bringing you from afar off. Next screen, brother E.J., quickly. Now, I want to show you something. Let's go to the next screen. I don't have time for these. Let's go to Luke 17:11. 42 Remember I told you that everything in the New Testament is about the 10 tribes of Israel. Watch this. Luke 17:11. And it came to pass as he went to Jerusalem that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. Verse 12. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him 10 men men? 10. Wow. And they were what? And they were what? Lepers. And they were what? LEPERS. AFAR OFF. EVEN AS many as afar off, Acts said. Here's 10 Why not eight men? Why not six men? Why not five? Why does it have to be 10 men that are lepers? 43 Because that is the 10 tribes of Israel that were lepers and that were afar off from God. Come on. Y'all, anything and you read the New Testament, it's the 10 tribes, EVERYTHING. HOW MANY COINS DID THE WOMAN LOSE? 10. COME ON, FOLKS. IF YOU DON'T REALIZE WHO YOU ARE, YOU'LL THINK YOU'RE A SAVED GENTILE. YOU'LL THINK YOU'RE A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE. DON'T YOU ever call yourself A SINNER. HOW DARE YOU EMBARRASS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST? YOU ARE A SAINT REDEEMED FROM SIN. What a slap in the face of the blood of Christ to identify yourself as a sinner? 44 That's saying I'm rebellious, but I'm saved by grace. The Bible says that the Holy Ghost is given to those that obey him. 10 lepers and they were For this is unto you and to your children and only to those that are You want to know why the whole world don't have the Holy Ghost? It wasn't promised to the whole world. It was promised to them that are afar off. Of which that must have been you, or you wouldn't have the Holy Ghost. He found you. I don't know if you're getting that. It must have been you, or you wouldn't be sitting here tonight. You have returned. Somebody say I have returned. 45 Where were you? Afar off. But the Holy Ghost found me AND MADE ME AND I WENT IN THE WATERS OF BAPTISM AND he cleansed me of my leprosy by his stripes. I am healed of that leprosy. He said, "I will SPRINKLE YOU WITH WATER." EVERYBODY EVER WONDER WHY YOU GOT TO GO in the water? You ever wondered what's the point of the water? It's the only way a leper could be declared clean. It was the only way a leper could be declared WHOLE AND BROUGHT BACK INTO ISRAEL. HE HAD TO TAKE A BATH IN HOLY WATER. WHEN YOU TOOK YOUR BATH, THAT LEPROSY WAS CLEAN. COME ON. YOU MUST BE BAPTIZED. 46 YOU CAN'T BE SAVED WITHOUT BEING BAPTIZED. Picking up what we putting down. WHY WASTE YOUR TRIP? GOD'S CALLING PEOPLE THAT'S HUNGRY FOR this truth. You can't be saved without baptism. I don't care what any Baptist preacher told you. He lied to you. Come on. Tell it. Bible said he that believeth and IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED. AND THERE'S ONLY ONE biblical baptism in the name of Yeshua THE MESSIAH, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. IT'S THE ONLY BIBLICAL BAPTISM. Come on. That is the washing away of your leprosy. You left that LEPROSY IN THE WATER. 47 YOU know what's so funny to me is we have a problem with thinking baptism is required, but the same God required it for lepers in the Old Testament. The problem is nobody ever taught you you was a leper. When you realize that you were blind, you were deaf, you were dumb, you was a leper, you was dead When you realize that, you'll know what Jesus meant when he told John, "Tell him the blind see, the deaf hear." He knew John knew that was the lost tribes of the house of Israel and that he was out there finding the lost sheep of the house of Israel. John knew what he was talking about. 48 Come on, that's right. He wanted to know if that was really the Messiah because what was the Messiah going to do? Return those that were in exile. And John, when he heard that's what Jesus was doing, he knew right then that was the Messiah. He was going after the lost sheep. Quickly, so we can go tonight. Next go to the next screen. Why did the Jews and the Samaritans, the ones you Remember those 10 men, those 10 lepers? They were in Samaria. Do you know why the Jews and the Samaritans hated one another so much? Is because the Samaritans had intermingled the seed line. 49 They had messed up to where nobody knew who was Israel and who wasn't. They had mixed in with the Baptist so long they couldn't tell if they was Baptist or Israel. Do you know what Babylon means? Mixture. Mixture. God hates mixture. He don't want you celebrate New Year's tonight and March 23rd. He said choose you this day who you'll serve, one or the other, the lie or the truth. He said choose between Christmas OR PASSOVER. CHOOSE BETWEEN EASTER OR PENTECOST. CHOOSE. BUT YOU'RE COWARD CHRISTIAN STRADDLING FENCES. GET IN THE ARMY OF TRUTH AND STAND UP FOR TRUTH. 50 Anybody watching me by YouTube, I'll pay you a thousand dollars if you can show me in the Bible any holiday you celebrate. I'll cash app it, PAYPAL IT, ANYTHING YOU WANT. SHOW IT TO ME IN THE BIBLE, YOUR HOLIDAYS. Show it to me. And do that. Go ahead. I know you can, but you already know better. You already know what that is. Easter, it's a mistranslation. We already know, but thank you. EVERYBODY OUGHT TO KNOW BY now that you can't show it. I can point to every holiday I celebrate in the word of God. I can show you where Jesus kept them, the apostles kept them, the early church kept them. 51 I've chosen my side, have you? I've chosen my side, HAVE YOU? I'VE CHOSEN THE SIDE OF THE RIGHT. I'VE CHOSEN THE LAND OF ISRAEL. I'VE CHOSEN THE WORD OF GOD OVER THE WORD of man. That leprosy of rebellion has been cleansed from me. If God says they go out in the forest and cut a tree down, I ain't bringing a tree in my house. And decorate it with gold and silver. And bring them in the house. And you know why this God why does God care? Why does God care about the tithe? Why does God care about 10%? Why not give 6%? Why don't he say just give what you want to give? IT'S A TEST. IT'S A TEST. 52 The Sabbath is a test. God is seeing if you still got that leprosy running through you. Leprosy is rebellion. IT POPS UP IN ALL of us just the magazine. IT'S LIKE A LITTLE INFECTION THAT WON'T GO AWAY until you go in the water by faith and you come up and then you walk in the commandments of Yahweh. I didn't say you walk perfectly. I said you walk in the commandments of Yahweh. Your repentance is your perfection. Every time you make a mistake, YOU REPENT QUICKLY. IF you are not repenting every day, you're not walking in holiness. I promise you that. God hates mixture. God hates mixture. 53 That's why he said in the first CHAPTER OF THE BIBLE, DON'T MIX THE SEED lines together. NOBODY EVEN KNOWS WHAT RACE they are anymore. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT WHAT PEOPLE THEY'RE FROM. NOBODY EVERYTHING'S MIXED UP. HALF MAN, HALF WOMAN. GOT ON A SKIRT AND A THONG AND A AND A A MALE PART. IT'S MIXTURE. If you'll mix one thing, you'll mix everything. I won't mix this truth with a lie. I said I won't mix this truth with a lie. The minute you start mixing, the minute the church starts looking like the world is the moment we become the world. That's why a woman looks like a woman, A MAN LOOKS LIKE A MAN. 54 AND BY THE WAY, YOU LOOK REAL NICE, sister sister Susan, in your beautiful dress back there tonight. I've been SEEING YOU. GOD LOVES MODESTY. GOD LOVES WHEN A WOMAN LOOKS LIKE A WOMAN, ACTS LIKE A WOMAN, WALKS LIKE A WOMAN, LIVES LIKE A WOMAN. SHE DON'T God loves when a woman is a woman. A man is a man. When a woman obeys her husband and a husband provides for the woman. God loves it. Why? He loves purity. When you see a woman talking to her husband like she is a man, that's two homosexuals living together. I don't care what sex she is, she's a homosexual. 55 Homosexuality ain't got nothing to do with sex, it's got to do with up here. I've met more lesbians in dresses than I ever did that looked like a lesbian. WHY? CUZ YOU CAN'T PUT A SKIRT ON A LESBIAN spirit and turn it into a woman. You can't put a skirt on a lesbian spirit. It's got to start right in here. God loves us to be holy before him. Separate from the world. God wants you to be separate all the days of your life, young man. I've been separate since I was a child. Always separating myself unto the Lord. Why? Because I know that God told Samuel I'm sorry, not Samuel. Jonah. Not Jonah. 56 By his hair. Samson. Why did God tell Samson don't cut your hair? Because he wanted to set him make him separate. There was a separate Anybody God ever picks out for a lifetime of anointing. Brother William Branham, when God called him to the ministry, God told him three things. He said, "I never want you to touch alcohol, cigarettes, or women." And he said, "I'll use you." Now, not his wife, I'm talking about. Why? God was separating him. When God's getting ready to separate you, he puts requirements on you that other Christians don't have. I want you to hear what I just said. 57 It's other requirements that's not required for salvation. Y'all need to get salvation out of your head. God is not worried ABOUT YOUR SALVATION. HE'S worried about your sanctification. He wants to use you for his service. He wants to heal you of leprosy. Next screen. The house of Jacob, let's read this 1 Kings 8:46. And then Daniel 9:7. I want to read to you now who it is that the far off and then we're going to close. 1 Kings 8 46 and then Daniel 9:7. 58 If they sin against thee, for there is no man that sinneth not and thou be angry with him and deliver them to the enemy so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy far or near. All right, so now I'm going to begin to show you the difference in far and near. The northern tribes were carried off far to Assyria. The southern tribes were carried off near to Babylon. Okay? So the two difference far and near. So according to this, if they sin against God, they will be carried away a far off or near. Now let's read Daniel 9:7. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee. 59 But unto and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and unto all Israel. All right, there's a separation. Do you see it? To Judah and then to the rest of Israel. Read. that are near that are All right, so you have some that are near. That's the Jews. And who else? And that are far off. And there's another group that are a far off Israelites, you and me that are lost a far off. So, that scripture will help you understand your whole Bible right there in Daniel. God said the Judah, they're going to be near. Israel, far off. Acts 2:39, this promise is unto those that are near and a far off. Woo! 60 Glory to God. Next next screen. YESHUA DIED. LET'S READ THIS. I'll read it from THE SCREEN. JESUS DIED TO BRING TOGETHER two groups of people, near and far off. Ephesians 2:13, but now in Messiah, YOU WHO SOMETIMES WERE ARE made what? Nah. Remember the prophecy in Daniel? Nah and far. THE JEWISH PEOPLE STAYED NAH, ISRAEL WENT FAR, BUT JESUS CHRIST CAME TO BRING THE NEAR AND THE FAR BACK TOGETHER, TWO STICKS into one. For this promise is unto you that are near and a far off. 61 Ephesians 2:14, for he is our peace who has made both one and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us and came and preached peace to you which were and to them that were to the Jew first and then the house of Israel. Only the house of Israel was a far off not the strangers. This ain't for them. It's for the house of Israel. Ephesians 2:18, for through him we both have access who near and far unto you and to them that are far this promise. How many of you've been in your church your whole life and Acts 2:39 just came together for you? Hallelujah to God. 62 This promise is unto those here in Jerusalem that are nigh and those Israelites that are scattered to Africa Mexico China Waveland, Mississippi. They've been scattered everywhere. They're a far off. They don't even know they're Israelites, but I know and one day I'm going to reach them with the power of the Holy Ghost and they will return and I will heal them of their leprosy by his stripes we are healed. By the waters of baptism we have been made whole. We're not a far off anymore. We've been made nigh because Paul said a Jew is one that is one inwardly. 63 We were a far off but now we've been made nigh. Next screen, I think that's about all. Finally, the 10 lepers. They came to Yeshua and said, "Master, have mercy on us." I remember the night when I came to the altar. I didn't know I was returning. I didn't know I was a leper. I just know I needed mercy. And he gave me mercy. And then he said, "Go to that water and I'll wash you clean from your leprosy." By his stripes, Sister Maxine, you've been healed. Sister Laura, you were sick. You had a leprosy. But he said, "I will wash you clean." And those that were afar off, I'll make them nigh. 64 I've taught you these series of lessons because I want you to know just who you are. Amen. When you know who you are, and now you know, makes me want to go jump back in the water all over again. Hallelujah. Cleanse me, oh God. I was lost and undone without God or His Son. When He reached down His hand for me. For this promise is unto the Jew and to the lost tribes of the house of Israel. As many of them as the Lord our God shall call. Brother Vaughn, what about the strangers? What about those that are not of those lost tribes? What about my neighbor? There's a verse of scripture for that. 65 Go to the next screen, brother, real quickly. That's the end of it. There's a verse in there that talks about during the millennial reign how the strangers will come. And everybody will know him. But first, those that are afar off. If you've ever wondered why God isn't reaching the whole world, it's because he's reaching for those that are afar off. Go to Go to D. Can you play in D? Shackled by a heavy burden. Maybe the A. Try A. Try A. Burden beneath the load of guilt and shame. But then the hand of Jesus just touched me. And now I'm no longer Can you come help me sing it? The same. 66 You and Sister Nash, let's all stand. He touched me. Oh, he touched me. And all of the joy that floods my soul, something happened. And now I know he touched me and made me whole.
