Echoes of Israel - Part 11 5/16/25 "Beware the Banquet"

* But the echoes of Israel is to me if you everyone needs to go back to part one and listen to these echoes of Israel. Contained in these lessons is the warnings that nobody's hearing. I can tell nobody's hearing them. How can I tell? Because I'm hearing people talk and I know nobody's listening to a word I'm teaching when it comes to the echoes of Israel. * or you wouldn't be repeating the same mistakes that they made, coming up against the leader of this movement, rising up because you don't agree with something. A dear, I I'm trying to teach you the echoes of Israel and it's as if no one is listening. And the saddest thing about Israel is how they repeat the same mistake over. * Have you ever read that? Now, I'm I'm being real tonight. Have you ever read about the children of Israel and thought to yourself, "How dumb? Why can't they get it together? Let's not pass judgment too quickly." Amen. Because among our own people, it's just like nobody is hearing the warnings. No, I'm trying to teach you how that Satan enters in among the house of Israel. * And yet we just say, "Okay, what's the next lesson?" I say, "What did you learn in the last lesson?" We have got to begin applying what we're learning from Israel. And tonight, I'm going to pick up on another warning from ancient Israel. And uh we're going to start just like we did last week with reconsidering the covenant. * There's knowledge and then we're going to move into Echoes of Israel part whatever six seven wherever we are on that. But I want to encourage you to go back and listen. Everybody make Echoes of Israel a listening project for you. And when you listen, I want you to pray these words. Father, I don't want knowledge out of this lesson. * I want wisdom. Knowledge is okay. I'm fixing to give you some knowledge, but we need wisdom how to apply and to protect the ministry from the same mistakes that ancient Israel made. Amen. Amen. All right. Praise the Lord. We're going to start off tonight with reconsidering the covenant. Is there any comments or questions before we get started here tonight? Anything we need to get out of the way? Anything needs to be said or done? Praise the Lord. * All right. Or excuse me, Yes, sir. Elder Morgan up. Oh, okay. Go ahead. I'm not looking at the screen. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Elder. I was just going to ask, pastor, you said the um that audio was so bad from Arkansas, that sermon. Uhhuh. Um that sermon was so powerful. Is there any way you could repreach that? Rteach it? Do a doover? Because I mean, look, you know, we're gonna get more out of it the second time. * I think that was so worth the worth the redo. Now, Amen. Amen. I got the uh I saved the I saved the one that's causing so much confusion. I saved that. We we saved the afternoon one about Joseph and Mary. I did save that one. Uh the audio was better on that one, but uh the one Friday night, we really were not able to get that one. We'll be your audience, pastor. * Yes, sir. Hallelujah. Well, thank you, my sister. I appreciate you very much. Amen. Praise the Lord. Y'all give me just one moment. I'm trying to pull up some other notes I had written. Oh, hallelujah. Thank you, Father. It would be echoes, pastor. Amen. Do what? What is it? I said it would be echoes. Oh, that's true. That is true. * That is so true. Uh, all right. Because it is worth repeating. It was very good. It is. And I've if I if I I don't even remember what part it was, but I know it was good because the anointing was on it, but the audio was just so wretched. It was just hard to save it. I tell you what I might can do. * If I can pull the uh if I can pull the transcript out of it, then uh maybe one of these Yeah, I could get AI maybe to rewrite it somehow some way. Okay. All right. Let's go now to the word of Yahweh. We're going to pick up with reconsidering the covenant. Praise the Lord, y'all. Pardon me. My computer's so full of stuff I'm working on. * I'm trying to get everything organized here. Amen. Thank you, Father. Praise the Lord. There it is. All right, we're good to go. Now, the covenant is so important and we all need to understand that Israel's history is your future. You need to know that anything you see about Israel needs to excite you because they are you. * And what we've been talking about in their history is the unfolding of God's plan for Israel. Not the state, but the nation. Someone tell me the difference of the state of Israel and the nation of Israel. One is a people and one is a land mass. Absolutely. And who who has the covenant of Abraham? Is it the state of Israel or the nation of Israel? The nation. * The nation. Nations. Y'all need to know that in all of your thinking. And and let me tell you why. President Trump just did a Master Tour and I had a lot of people inbox me concerned about the deals he was making with nations that are not friendly to Israel. Uh and one pastor pastor several thousand people. * These people secretly inbox me. They don't want their people to know where they get their answers from, but they secretly inbox me. And he said, "Hey, what's going on with this? Uh, and are you concerned that he's not looking out for Israel?" And I said, "Well, brother, that's exactly who he's looking out for. Israel, America first. * " And of course, that blew his mind. He had no idea what I was talking about. But if you don't understand who Israel is and you don't know who you are, then you will get sidetracked by thinking that that land mass is Israel. And that's why we are reconsidering the covenant because you have got to get delivered from your Christian way of thinking, your Jewish way of thinking, your messianic way of thinking. * Because the truth is, beloved, Israel is not a state. Why is this so important that you understand it? Because without understanding this, you will not understand why Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, came into the world. So, let's review a few of the things we've learned over the past few weeks. One of the things we have learned, let me get this slideshow to go from the beginning. There we go. * is in class one and two we have learned the seven unconditional promises to Abraham. We found out those promises were inherited by the fathers Isaac and Jacob. Then we learned that Yahweh rescued Israel from Egypt because of the fathers and then made another covenant with Israel. Not the fathers this time, but the children. * Now, I I I want you to notice that the first covenant is with the fathers. The next covenant is with the children. Why is that important? because the voice of Elijah is going to come forth and remind the children of their covenant and bring them back to the first covenant of their fathers. This is very key that you grasp that and understand that. * After that, uh the blessings and the curses, that's what we taught last week in lesson four. We went over the blessings and the curses. And we found out at the end of last week's lesson, one of the major curses of Israel would be to expel them from the land. They would go into exile among the nations of the world. * And that's where we pick up tonight in lesson five. your timeline. Abraham's covenant was almost 2,000 years after the Garden of Eden. And then 500 years later, nearly is when the Exodus out of Egypt comes on the screen. Moses led Israel for 40 years through the wilderness wandering. And here's where we pick up where Moses leaves off and we go into another phase of Israel's history. * Deuteronomy 31 1-3. And you can just read the screen. And Elder Morgan, if you want to read the screen to save my voice, I would appreciate it. Yes, sir. Amen. So Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel. And he said to them, "I am a 120 years old today. I am no longer able to come and go. * And Yahweh has said to me, you shall not cross this Jordan. It is the Lord your God who will cross ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dis dispossess them." Joshua is the one who will cross ahead of you just as Yahweh had spoken. So a change is happening here and Israel's history. Follow it closely. * Read Joshua chapter 1 verse 1-6. Let's read that Elder. Now it come now it came after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh that Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Non Moses servant saying Moses my servant is dead now therefore rise cross this Jordan you and all this people to the land which I am giving to them the sons of Israel. * Now that is where the change was happening in uh Joshua taking over the ministry. Again one man Moses is passing it off to his son in the gospel. his son that has stood by him that the father has anointed to now take it to uh the next place that it had to go to. Very important that you see the patterns the way that Yahweh works in a true Israelite ministry. * The pattern never never changes. Now let's go and read uh Joshua 21 43-45. Amen. So Yahweh gave Israel all the land which he had sworn to give their fathers and they possessed it and lived in it. And Yahweh gave them rest on every side according to all he had sworn to their fathers. and no and not and no one of all their enemies stood before them. * Yahweh gave all their enemies into their hands. Not one of the not one of the good promises which Yahweh had made to the house of Israel failed. It all came to pass. I had to highlight that one part. None of the promises that God gave to Israel failed in his part of that conditional covenant. Amen. Not one part failed. Not one. * He's got a track record and you can depend on that track record. Now after they've left Exodus and around 1453 Joshua and Israel are entering into the promised land. Let's read Judges chapter 2. Now Joshua has died. So go back and watch your timeline. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua. Now, that is coming to an end. And now there's going to be another period in Israel's history called the time of the judges. * Again, one man in Yahweh called the judge. And that's where you get Deborah, Samson, all these judges of Israel. One person that Yahweh used to speak through to the people. Let's read about the next phase after Joshua's death. Amen. The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel and he gave them into the hands of the plunderers who plundered them and he sold them into the hands of their enemies around them. * So they could no longer stand before their enemies. Wherever they went, the hand of Yahweh was against them for evil. As Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them, so they were severely distressed. Then Yahweh raised up judges who delivered them from the hands of those who plundered them. The purpose of the judges was to turn the hearts of the children back to the covenant of the fathers. * And so now Yahweh is raising up judges to turn their hearts. Verse 11 or read verse 17 through verse 18. Yet they did not listen to their judges. They did not listen to their judges because they were listening to God. They did not listen to their judges. Why? They played the part of the harlot after other gods. Read. And bowed themselves down to them. * They turned aside quickly from the way. Somebody say quickly. Quickly. They turned aside quickly. I know what that means. As a pastor, I watch people from one feast, Passover to Pentecost. I I watch people literally turn quickly from the covenant and the way they're supposed to be walking. You listen, it it is so easy for you to turn from what you know is true. * I'm speaking to somebody right now in the state of Texas. You better hear the word of your pastor and the word of the Lord. Watch your heart. Watch your heart. It will turn quickly and deceive you. Hallelujah. Go ahead, Elder. They turned aside quickly from the way which their fathers had walked in, obeying the commandments of Yahweh. * They did not do as their fathers. They did not do as their fathers. Read. When Yahweh raised up judges for them, the the Lord Yahweh was with the judges. And did you hear that? When Yahweh raised up judges, Yahweh was in or with the judge. The judge was God with us. His mouthpiece. The judge was Emmanuel. Hallelujah. The judge was God with us. * And that's why people get so confused about the person of Yesua when they hear words like Emmanuel, God with us. You see, pastor, he was God with us. Well, so was Deborah. So was Samson. God was with these judges. So therefore, God was with Israel through these human proxies. Amen. I am who I am. Amen. * Read Elder, Yahweh was with the judges and delivered them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judges. For for the Lord Yahweh was moved to pity by their by their groaning because of those who oppressed and afflicted them. Israel was ruled by judges 322 years. There was one man in charge under each judgeship beginning with Moses. The pattern never changes. * Israel's last judge was Samuel. Let's read 1st Samuel 7:15-17. Amen. Now Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. He used to go annually on circuit to Bethl and Gilgal and Mispa. And he judged Israel in all these places. He was the first circuit preacher. He rode the circuit. He went to all these places and served as Yah's proxy to judge the matter. * And now we are in end time Israel where we don't believe there's supposed to be any judging going on. The pattern I feel like a broken record. The pattern never changes for the house of Israel. And not once will you ever see the pattern break. Amen. Verse 17. Then his return was to Rama for his house was there and there he judged Israel and he built there an altar to Yahweh. * So he had a he had a traveling ministry. He started at Rama then he would ride to Bethl. Then he would leave that and go to Gilgal. Then he would go to Mispa. That was his circuit. And he would serve the house of Israel as an evangelist, if you will. A prophetic traveler. That's what he did. Now the judges not like you, pastor. Sounds a whole lot like you. Amen, Elder. * Exactly. The pattern The pattern never changes. And people hear me say that and they just look at me. I'm speaking in a voice that is not my own. The pattern never changes. 1421 years. That's when the judges took over. Now everything's about to change. 1st Samuel 8 4-9. And now Israel is going to demand a king. * Now, why do they want a elected or a selected pastor? Now, because the judges answered to no one but the commandments, now they want to get involved in turning the church into politics, if you will. They want a king that they can have sway over. He's not really a prophet. And if we're not careful, end time Israel will desire the same exact thing. * And here is where everything for Israel is about to change. Let's read 1st Samuel 8 4-9. Amen. Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Rama. And they said to him, "Behold, you have grown old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the nations." Now I want you to underline in your Bible like all the nations. * I'm going to show you where the pattern never changes. I'm going to teach you tonight when I get into the echoes part. I'm going to teach you where Israel will always start her fall to be like all the other people or shall we say the other churches in their town. Listen carefully. The reason they wanted to be like other nations because other nations had it easier. * They didn't have divine commandments from the God of heaven to live by. That's where it always starts when you want to be like all the other nations. Read verse six. But the thing was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." And Samuel prayed to Yahweh. This was very displeasing to the man of God to know that the people were beginning to take over the ministry. * Up until this time, since the time of Moses, God had a set man. And that man's only job was to declare the truth of the word of God without fear, without political favor. He was strictly the voice of truth. But now they wanted to be like other churches. They wanted to run it like other churches. And that's where Israel fell. Let's continue to read. * Uh, hallelujah. Hearing them echoes, pastor. Come on, my brother. I'm trying to get it out there tonight. Verse seven. The Lord Yahweh said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard." Now, watch, watch, watch carefully. Listen to the voice of the people. Why? Not because I am in agreement with listening to the voice of the people, but listen to what they're saying. * When they are asking to be involved in who their leaders are, they have rejected my pattern. They have rejected my way. So when you listen to them, know this uh Samuel, they have not rejected you. This is not personal. They do not want a prophet. Amen. They want a king. They have rejected me from being king over them because they know that Samuel cannot be bought. He cannot be sold. * He cannot be influenced. They know he answers to me and me alone. They know that. And therefore they have no control over Samuel. They have no control. So therefore they want to be like other nations. Verse 8. Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I had brought them from Egypt even to this day. * And that they have forsaken me and served other gods. So they are doing to you also. Now then listen to their voice. However, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedures of the king who will reign over them. Warn them, it'll never be the same. Warn them. Amen. And so, you want a king, we're going to get you a king. * 1st Samuel 10 17 through 19. Amen. Thereafter Samuel called the people together to the Lord Yahweh at mitzvah. And he said to the sons of Israel, "Thus saith Yahweh, the God of Israel, I brought Israel up from Egypt, and I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the power of all the kingdoms that were oppressing you. * I raised your ministry up miraculously, supernaturally. Hallelujah. super unexplainably, supernaturally, and you want to become a church. You want to become a regular. No, he said this is not what I created. I created a supernatural movement. Verse 19. But you have today rejected your God, who delivers you from all the calamities and your distresses. * Yet you have said no, but set a king over us. Now therefore, present yourselves before Yahweh, by your tribe, and by your clans, because I'm about to give you the kind of ministry you want. Utter confusion. They're about to get their first king, King Saul. We'll read about it. 1st Samuel 10 20- 24. * Thus Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken by Lot. Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by its families, and the Matrite family was taken. And Saul, the son of Kish, was taken. But when they looked for him, he could not be found. Therefore, there they inquired, "Father of Yahweh, has the man come here yet?" So the Lord said, "Behold, he is hiding himself by the babage. * " So they ran and took him from there. And when he stood among the people, he was taller than any other any of the other people from his shoulders upward. Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom Yahweh has chosen? Surely there is no one like him among all the people." So all the people shouted, said, "Long live the king." Now that's an interesting verse. * Do you see him who Yahweh has chosen? Notice that he was head and shoulders above all the other people. And now you'll understand what Yahweh meant when he said in his word concerning King David that man looks on the outward but God looks on the heart. He was giving them a king that would impress them on the outward. Wow. And and this is exactly what humans always fall for. * And we always have to guard ourselves from this same thing in ancient Israel. And the people shouted and said, "Long live the king." King Saul reigned for 40 years. Keep that number in your mind. You're going to want to remember that number when I'm preaching tomorrow. I just find it ironic that this series lined up to the very message that Yahweh brought me to Branson, Missouri to reveal to me to preach tomorrow. * It is li it is literally pigeon holing to this series. And now I know that everything I teach is is for a purpose because this is going to give you the understanding you need for tomorrow. King Saul reigned 40 years. Let's read 1 Chronicles 10:13 through 14. Amen. So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the Lord Yahweh because of the word of Yahweh which he did not keep and also because he asked counsel of a medium making inquiry of her and did not inquire of Yahweh. * Therefore he killed him and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse. All right. And tomorrow now now you'll be ready in your minds to know about these transitions. They line up perfectly. Now, after this, Samuel was grieving over Saul because he loved Israel. Let's read 1st Samuel 16 1-3. Now the Lord Yahweh said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go, and I will send you to Jesse, for I have selected a king for myself among his sons." But Samuel said, "How can I go * when Saul hears of it? He will kill me." And Yahweh said, "Take a hepher with you and say, 'I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. You shall invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do, and you shall anoint for me the one whom I designated you to." In other words, run with the horses and the cloud. * I'm not going to tell you what you're going to do. Quit asking questions. Get your horn and your oil and drive. Go run with the horses. Run with the cloud. And when you get there, I'll show you more of what you're supposed to do. You're going to anoint for me the one that I designate to you. The pattern never changes. Now read 1st Samuel 16:4-7. * So Samuel did what Yahweh said and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and said, "Do you come in peace?" He said, "In peace, I have come to sacrifice to Yahweh. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." He also consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. * When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord's anointed is before him." But Yahweh said to Samuel, "Do not look at the appearance or at the height or his stature." Because now you know why. Now you know why he said, "Don't look at the height of his stature." Because Saul was the tallest of them all. * He's proving a point here. Read. It's not going to be another Saul. Amen. Amen. I have I have rejected him. For Yahweh sees not as man sees. For man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart. Read verse eight. Then Jesse called Abinadab and made for him and made him pass before Samuel. * And he said, "Yahweh has not chosen this one either." Next, Jesse made Shama pass by, and he said, "The Lord has not chosen this one either." Thus, Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "Yahweh has not chosen these." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the children?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep. * " Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him, for we will not set down until he comes." Verse 12. And so he sent and brought him in. Now he was Rudy with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And Yahweh said, "Arise, anoint him, for this is he." Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. * And the spirit of the Yahweh came mightily upon David from the day from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Rama. And King David just like King Saul ruled for 40 years. You're going to want to keep that number in mind tomorrow as well. Now, God makes another covenant. Now with King David, all these covenants are going to come together for you. * Let's read the covenant he made with King David. 2 Samuel 7 8-10. Amen. Now therefore, thus you Nathan shall say to my servant David, thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from the pasture from following the sheep to be ruler over my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone and have cut off all your enemies from before you. * I will make you a great name like the names of great men who are on the earth. I will also appoint a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again. Nor will the wicked afflict them anymore as formally. Read 11 through13. Even from the day that I commanded the judges to be over my people Israel, I will give you rest from all of your enemies. * The Lord Yahweh also declares to you that Yahweh will make a house for you. When your days are complete and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your descendants after you. Hallelujah. Who will come forth from you and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. * And that is the Davidic covenant. Remember the Abraham. First we have the Noahide covenant or the Adamic covenant, the Noahide covenant, Abrahamic covenant, the Mosaic covenant, and now we have the Davidic covenant. Read verse 14-1 17. I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me. * When he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men. But honey, but my loving kind But my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom shall endure before me forever. your throne shall be established forever in accordance with all these words and all the all this vision. * So Nathan spoke to David. And brothers and sisters, if David's throne is not being set on today, this covenant was not fulfilled. You cannot have a throne come to an end and then resurrect it 4,000 years later and say that it endured forever. The throne has to endure. It has to be a continual endurance forever. * This dividic covenant has been fulfilled not only in Christ but also in uh humanity because the covenant is forever. So from the judges to King Saul 1097, King David 1057. And this is where the story gets interesting. Solomon dies. We know Solomon took over the throne. He died and according to first kings 11:43 he slept with his fathers was buried in the city of the father David and his son Rayoboam reigned in his place. * If Yesua is not the son of Rahaboam he is not the son of David in the kingly line. Let's read verse one. Then Rayaboam went to Shaim for all Israel had had to come to Shaim to make him king. Now when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it, Nebot heard of it, he was living in Egypt, for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon. All right. * He was in exile from King Solomon for trying to take the throne. Now Rayoboam has ascended to the throne. And here comes Jeroboam. Verse three. Then they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the assemblies of Israel came and spoke to Rayoboam saying, "Your father your father made our yoke hard. * Now therefore lighten the hard service of your father and his heavy yoke which he put on us and we will serve you. So here's Jeroboam. Jeroboam's not trying to take the throne. He's trying to negotiate. We will serve you. Read. Then he said to them, "Depart for three days, then return to me." So the people departed. * King Rayoboam consulted with the elders who had served with his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, "How do you counsel me to answer this people?" Then they spoke to him, saying, "If you will be a servant to this people today and will serve them and grant them their petition and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever." Wow. * So, he got he got wise counsel and he was asking for their counsel. He said to them, "What do you want me to do?" Now, this is interesting because he's about to turn around and do the very opposite of their counsel. Let's continue. But he forsook the counsel of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who grew up with him and served him. * So he said to them, "What counsel do you give that we may answer this people who has spoken to me, saying, Lighten the yoke which your father put on us?" The young men who grew up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall say to the people who spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy. * Now you make it lighter for us. But you shall speak to them, my little finger is thicker than my father's loins. Whereas my father loaded you with heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. My father's discipline you with whips, but I would discipline you with scorpions. Now, at that moment, your Bible changed everything from that scripture forward. * If you do not, that may be the most important story in the Bible because without knowing that story, you will get everything else in the Bible wrong. End time prophecy, everything. If you don't know about the natural division within a united Israel, this is a rivalry that started. Now the separation comes between the north and the south. * The pattern never changes. I'll repeat it again. The north and the south together, pastor. Amen. picking up the civil war. Amen. In end time Israel, America, it would repeat itself with the north and the south. Amen. No new thing under his nothing. And now from that day forward, here's what Israel would look like. the house of Judah, the house of Israel, north and south, totally separate nations. * Not only are they now separate nations, they are enemies. They literally go to war against one another. the house of Israel. Look at that purple on your screen. They are not Jewish. Never have been, never will be. They are Israel. Now, the people that live over there now is not Israel. They're Jewish. They're one member of Israel. Let's read verse 15. * Amen. So the king did not listen to the people for it was a turn of events from Yahweh. Listen, listen, listen. You remember I said he asked the elders, "What should I do?" and then suddenly changed his mind because Yahe made him do this. It was a turn of events from the Lord that he might establish his word which he had spoken through Aha the Schillonite. * I don't have time to if you'll go back and watch tracking the tribes. I started that whole story with Aaya the Schillonite. Yahweh made this king do what he wanted to bring his word to pass. And you think how cruel what that king said was so cruel. That was God that said, "My little fingers thicker than my father's loins." This was all the work of Yahweh. Verse 16. * When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, "What portion do we have in David? We are no longer connected to the Jewish people." That's what they said. What do we have to do with Jews? Judah, we have no more connection to the Jews. Israel totally disconnects from the Jews. * We have no inheritance in David. And then notice what they said to your tents, O Israel. In other words, to your tents. Let's go. We're done. Go to your tents. And they've been going to their tents ever since then. And those tents have been lost all over the world. America is one of their tents. To your I wish to God somebody here. * To your tents, oh Israel. Oh, hallelujah. To your tents, oh Israel. And then they turned around and said these words, "Now look after your own house, David." And Israel departed to their tents. They turned around and they said, "We no longer associate with the Jewish people." Now, I want you to listen to what I just taught you. * Israel has no association. Same thing the Catholic Church did, pastor. Say it again, Elder. Same thing the Catholic Church did, pastor. Same thing. Same thing. So, Israel departed to their tents. Read Elder. But as for the sons of Israel who lived in the cities of Judah, Rayoboam reigned over them. * Then King Rayoboam sent Adaram, who was over the forced labor, and all Israel stoned him to death. And King Rayoboam made haste to mount his chariot to flee to Jerusalem. Here's where the war between Israel and the Jews began. Read verse 20. Verse 19. So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day. Listen. Israel has been literally in rebellion to the house of David to this day. * And now you might understand why it will take the voice of Elijah to turn the hearts of these rebellious children back to the fathers because David is one of their fathers. Hallelujah. Oh, I wish people understood. Hallelujah. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. We don't do it because the curse. Amen. Verse 20. It came about when when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, and they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. * None but the tribe of Judah followed the house of David. None but the tribe of Judah followed the house of David. Verse 21. Now when Rayoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who who are warriors to fight against the house of Israel. Listen, I want you to hear this. * The Jews is fixing to have a war with Israel. There would have been a time if you would have told me those words, the Jews was having war with Israel, I would have looked at you like you had four heads. Amen. Do you understand how blessed we are to have this clear understanding of who Israel is? So blessed. We're blessed. * I promise you, no one in your family knows this but you. This is the key to the whole Bible. You don't get this right, you get nothing right to fight against the house of Israel, to restore the kingdom to Rayaboam, the son of Solomon. And now you might understand why, my friend, Yesua had to come. * Because only he could restore these rebellious sons of Israel back to their father, David. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Amen. That's all he came to do. Yesua only came because this rebellion would be brought down only by the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Only the Holy Ghost would capture our hearts and cause us to love David and Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. * And only the work of the Holy Spirit can cause that uh love to return to our hearts for David. Let's continue. Verse 21. Amen. Now when Rayoboam had come to Jerusalem, oh, I'm sorry. No, we already read that. 22. But the word of Yahweh come to Shemiah, the man of Yah, saying, "Speak to Rayaboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah, and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying, Thus says Yahweh, you must not go up to fight against your relatives, the sons of Israel. * Return every man to his house, for this thing has come from me." For this thing has come from me. I have caused the separation. Amen. Because if I don't cause the separation, there would be no need for my son to come and find these lost sheep. It was all in my perfect will and my perfect plan. Don't go fight them right now because I'm the one that put all this together. Read. * In the beginning was the logos. Come on now. It never changes. So they listened to the word of the Lord and returned and went their way according to the word of the Lord. the king of the house of Israel, Jeroboam. He was not from the line of David. He led the people to change their weekly Sabbath day and their annual feast days and their headquarters. * He told them headquarters don't matter. Just wherever y'all want to pop up a shop. That's right. tell them where names that this new pastor comes along, this new Bible teacher comes along, takes the people and says, "We're going to we're going to put up shop right over here." But that's not where Yahweh placed his legitimate, supernatural, miraculous authority. It's not where he put it. * And so they started changing the little things. Little by little they changed headquarters. Instead of Jerusalem, it was now Samaria. Don't change the pattern, children. Hear the echo. Don't change the pattern. Amen. And then he set up a separate priesthood. Israel become more and more wicked. * And the kings of the house of Israel ruled from 977 to 721 BC before Christ. That was Jeroboam. Let's look at Rahaboam. He was from the line of David. The kings of the house of Judah ruled to 585. So they ruled 200 years almost longer than the house of Israel. There was hatred between the house of Israel and the house of Judah. * And so Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this very day. Do you know that the Germans that killed the Jewish people were lost tribe members? So the rebellion against the house of David has continued to this very day. The Germans, the lost tribes, uh I'm from Germany. Vaughn is German. * All of those lost tribes were German. They killed their own brothers, the Jewish people. The Bible said that rebellion has continued to this very day. The Bible says there's going to come a time when that hatred and that jealousy is going to be done away with. Oh, hallelujah. God passed judgment on the house of Israel and the house of Judah. * And here is the sequence. After the divided Israel, the house of Israel was taken into captivity into Assyria and then the house of Judah into Babylon. Now, what caused their fall? I want to talk to you a few minutes before we go tonight. I want to see if I can pull up some echoes for you from that time period. * I want to read to you in the book of Revelation chapter 18 verse4. I'm going to show you what caused the great fall of Israel as they stood on the banks of the Jordan ready to go into the promised land. It's one little word called worldliness. Worldliness. You see, Satan's final attack on the house of Israel was worldliness. * And as we, you and I are standing in the last Exodus, we're running out of time. We're standing at the Jordan. I want to show you Satan's strategy so that you never fall for it. Now, I want to speak to you as a pastor tonight and I want to read you Revelation 18 and4. Come out of her, my people, so that you are not partakers of her sin. * Come out of her. Who is the her? Babylon. Who is Babylon? [Music] Confusion. Confusion in religion. You know, turning God into a man, creating a trinity, got people in hell and heaven right after they die. I could go on and on and on. Confusion. That's Babylon. Come out of the confusion, my people, so that you are not partakers of Babylon's sin. * The last steps of the final Exodus movement will mirror ancient Israel. Remember, we're a parallel people. Before the promised land comes, the final test against the bride will come. Not a test of brute force, but of subtle enticement. Not a beast. You listen to me and listen well. For those of you that's worried about the beast, the mark of the beast. * No, no, no, no, no. I'm fixing to read you a story. It's not the beast that gets the bride, it's the banquet. Let's turn to the book of Numbers, chapter 25, verse 1 through verse three. Numbers 25 1-3. We're picking up here with the story of Gideon that we talked about last week. Um, not Gideon, Balum, I'm sorry. * Balum and Balo, the way of Balum. We're going to talk about that. Let's read. Go ahead, Elder. Amen. And Israel abode in Chhatim. And the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods. Now listen. Listen. I'm fixing to show you what caused the fall of your forefathers. It was not a beast. * It was a banquet. It was not a mark of a beast or an antichrist. It was celebrating the wrong stuff. Amen. Amen, pastor. It was a little worldliness because Balam, remember he went out to curse them with King Bailock. Bailo had hired Balam to curse Israel. And Balam went to the king and said, "Look, king, I can't curse these people. They're blessed. * They've been supernaturally blessed. And Bailo three times said, "Hey, let's go to this mountain and look at them again. Curse them from three times." Balam could not curse them. But Balam went and told the king, "I'll tell you what you can do. You can get these people to a party. Get them to a banquet. Get them drunk. * Get them to a celebration of something besides their God and you will keep them from knowing their identity. You will keep them out of the promised land. Keep reading. This is good, pastor. Thank you, Elder. And the people did eat and bowed down to their gods. And Israel joined himself unto Baor. * And the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel for eating. That's all they did. They were just eating. They went to a party. Got caught eating the wrong stuff. All they did, Elder, was go to a party mixture. All they did was went to a celebration to an Easter egg hunt because they were invited. They're conforming themselves to the wrong party. * All they did was go to where they were invited to go at Peor. King Bailo could not curse them, but he could seduce them and bring them to a party. Was that verse three, Elder? Yes, sir. Pastor, read Revelation 2:14. The book of Revelation 21:14. Balam could not curse Israel, so he what? Corrupted them. Infiltrated. * Satan shifted from attack to allure. Amen. Moabitete women feast food which led to idolatry. Read Revelations 2 and 14. But I have a few things against thee, because thou because thou hast there them because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balum who taught Bailo to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel. * Here's what I've got against you. Here's what I've got against you. He said to the end time church, "You're falling for the same thing. The doctrine of Balum." What is the doctrine of Balum? Invite them to a celebration of pagan gods. Yeah. My bring them to a party. Oh, and by the way, don't in don't invite them to a pagan party. * Invite them to food. Invite them to eat. And when they get there, the eating will lead to wine that will lead to drunkenness. And drunkenness always allows for pagan worship. It was by association with the idolattors and joining in their celebration that the Hebrews were led to transgress Yahweh's law. Read Romans 12 and 1-2. * Let me tell all of you something tonight, children. Worldliness is not about dress or diet. It's about affection and loyalty. The things you're loyal to and the things you're affectionate towards and the things you're passionate about. If you don't have those three things, affection, loyalty, and passion, worldliness is the opposite of that. * When he says come out of the world, he's talking about the entire system opposed to the spirit of Yahweh. Read Romans 12 1-2. Amen. I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Yahweh, that you present yourself, your bodies as living sacrifices, holy, acceptable unto Yahweh, which is your reasonable service. * and be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that is good and acceptable and perfect will of Yahweh. If there's anything in this world that excites you more than the Sabbath day, eating right, and going to the feast days, you are worldly. And that's a quote you If there is, if your children excite you more than the feast days, than the Sabbath, you are worldly and you won't be long you will be drinking at that table of those people that are not walking in this way. * Amen. Be turned quickly. You'll be turned quickly. Not because you intended to, but you went to the wrong party. If we just covet that which they have, that is idolatry. That is idolatry. Our portion, Elder Brawlier, is what we must be satisfied with. Our portion is Yahweh. The word said Yahweh is my portion. * You cannot be world conscious and kingdom bound at the same time. You can't do it. You cannot be world conscious and kingdom bound at the same time. Those two do not go together ever. Whatever we cherish will lessen your love for Yahweh. And of that we make a god. Satan, his weapon that he chose for the children of Israel at the end was not swords. * It was seduction. Satan saves this strategy as the last one. If he can't defeat you, for example, he fights you. All that does is lead you to prayer. He can't defeat you with a sword. So he seduces you to the wrong ministry, the wrong church, the wrong party, the wrong celebration. He seduces you to a banquet. * Forget taking the mark of the beast. You've taken the mark of the banquet. And therefore, you are already part of the beast system. Festivals, whatever festivals you go to is who you are. You are what you celebrate. Worldliness is either in you or it's not. Nothing in this world should ever hold your love more than your God and his way of living. * Mingling among the wrong people. The sin of worldliness is not action. It's association. Amen. That's the sin. Those that are uniting with the world, they're receiving the seduction of the world. They have taken the mark of the world. There is a call, children, to me and you for separation. Yahe said, "You are not to be like the other nations. * You are separate unto me." Yahweh calls us into separation not for isolation, but for insulation. He's not trying to isolate you. He's trying to insulate you. The seal of God comes on those that sigh and cry over the sins of the world. God requires of his people a distinction. He required it of Israel and he requires it of us. Remember different means dangerous. * Yesua was not crucified because he was wrong, but because he was different. His people will be hated not because we're wrong, but because we don't fit in. Separation brings persecution, but it also brings protection. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10:14, "Beloved, flee from idolatry. * " Now is the time for this ministry to take worldliness seriously. Get it out of us. You brothers, you sisters, don't dress like the world. Don't think like the world. Don't If they like it and you like it, there's probably a problem. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. Balam tried to curse Israel, but he couldn't. * So, they fell into morality. The real test of the end time remnant is not what we do or what we don't do, but it's probably who we do it with. Amen, pastor. I might even need to say it again. Amen. The real test in this age is not what we're doing, but who we're doing it with. Because worldly associations break down holy convictions. * Bad company corrupts good men from the company. At Balam's suggestion, a grand festival was arranged. The Israelites ventured onto forbidden ground. Begiled by music and dancing, they were persuaded to bow down to idols. The final exodus is here. We cannot afford to blend in with the world. * Not in our dating, not in our music, not in our media, not in our recreation. Proximity to corruption leads to spiritual death. Why did Satan reserve this strategy for the edge of Canaan? Remember, for 40 years, they've been fighting with a sword, but there's no swords at the edge of Canaan. their seduction because he knew it worked. And he knows it will work again in the end times. * The Bible said, "Neither be ye idoltors." We're not being tested right now in this hour by persecution. We're being tested by the entertainment industry, by the smartphone screen, by our social affiliations. This is the final separating line. Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, you and I are standing on the edge of Canaan. We cannot afford the cost of conformity and the reward of separation is waiting for us. Hallelujah. * Yesua said, "You're not of this world even as I'm not of this world." He was not crucified because he sinned, but because he was different. Yesua said, "If the world hates you, it hated me before it hates you." Our greatest challenge, First Harvest, is becoming comfortable in an uncomfortable world. If we blend in now, we'll lose out later. * But if we stand apart now, we'll be sealed later. I love what Ezekiel said in chapter 9 verse one. Set a mark on their forehead. Ezekiel said, "Set a mark on them who those that are sighing and crying." You see, separation is not about self-righteousness. It's about divine ownership. Yahweh places his mark only on those that reject this world and all of its ways. * The Bible said now is the time to flee worldliness. Guard your heart. Prepare for the greatest moment in history, the sealing of the remnant and the return of the king. I want you to notice what Balum said about Israel. I'm going to see if I can find that scripture because this really stood out to me today as I was studying. * I want to see if I can find a scripture what Balam said about Israel. Praise the Lord. Numbers 23 verse 9. Let's start at verse 8. Everybody, everybody turn there with me. Everybody, I'm closing. Numbers 23 and 8. How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? How shall I defy whom Yahweh has not defiled? For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him. * Lo, these people, talking about Israel, dwell alone, and they are not reckoned among the nations. Oh, Rabbakashi. He said, the reason I can't curse them, they dwell alone. They are not reckoned among the nations. Oh my God. These people dwell alone. If you're here tonight and you say, "Pastor, I feel alone." That means you're protected. * Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. You are in a good place. Hallelujah. You're insulated. Not isolated. Quit saying I feel isolated. I feel insulated. Oh, I'm insulated from the effects of this world. I love what Balam said. These people dwell alone. They're so alone they're not even considered a nation of the world. * Why? because they've come out from among the what the world as we stand on the edge of the millennial reign. It's about to come. I promise you it could be this next watch night service we have when we stay up all night watching. I don't know. But I know this. We're at the edge. And the last strategy of Satan, he used it on them at pure, is to get you to the banquet of worldliness, to get your head out of the holy days, out of the Sabbath, to get your head at the banquet. * But I give you my word. If you will not go to that banquet, I know of another banquet called the marriage supper of the lamb where he's going to drink that Passover blood and meal with you, that wine of the kingdom. Hang tight, children. There's a banquet waiting for you. Shabbat shalom. Good night, saints. We love you. Hallelujah. * Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, brother. Thank you. Hallelujah. Shalom everyone. Thank you pastoral.
