II. IT INVOLVES TELLING OTHERS OF THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL! II. IT INVOLVES TELLING OTHERS OF THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL! Romans 10:14-15 14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!" Isaiah 52:7 7 How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, "Your G-d reigns!" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 1 Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. 6
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Messiah died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, A. Israel s DISOBEDIENCE has not forfeited their right to the land. A. Israel s DISOBEDIENCE has not forfeited their right to the land. Leviticus 26:40-45 40 'If they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their forefathers, in their unfaithfulness which they committed against Me, and also in their acting with hostility against Me -- Leviticus 26:40-45 41 I also was acting with hostility against them, to bring them into the land of their enemies -- or if their uncircumcised heart becomes humbled so that they then make amends for their iniquity, 42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and I will remember also My covenant with Isaac, and My covenant with Abraham as well, and I will remember the land..'" Leviticus 26:40-45 43 'For the land will be abandoned by them, and will make up for its sabbaths while it is made desolate without them they, meanwhile, will be making amends for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and their soul abhorred My statutes. 7
Leviticus 26:40-45 44 'Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so abhor them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the L-rd their G-d. 45 'But I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their G-d. I am the L-rd.'" B. The DECEPTION that the church has replaced Israel in G-d s prophetic plan B. The DECEPTION that the church has replaced Israel in G-d s prophetic plan Psalm 89:30-37 30 "If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgments, 31 If they violate My statutes and do not keep My commandments, 32 Then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes. Psalm 89:30-37 33 "But I will not break off My lovingkindness from him, nor deal falsely in My faithfulness. 34 "My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips. 35 "Once I have sworn by My holiness; I will not lie to David. 36 "His descendants shall endure forever and his throne as the sun before Me. 37 "It shall be established forever like the moon, and the witness in the sky is faithful." Selah. Jeremiah 31:31-37 31 "Behold, days are coming," declares the L-rd, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them," declares the L-rd. Jeremiah 31:31-37 33 "But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days," declares the L-rd, "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their G-d, and they shall be My people 8
Jeremiah 31:31-37 34 "They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the L-rd,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the L-rd, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more. Jeremiah 31:31-37 35 Thus says the L-rd, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the L-rd of hosts is His name: 36 "If this fixed order departs from before Me," declares the L-rd, "Then the offspring of Israel also will cease from being a nation before Me forever. Jeremiah 31:31-37 37 Thus says the L-rd, "If the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth searched out below, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done," declares the L-rd. Romans 11:1-2 1 I say then, G-d has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 G-d has not rejected His people whom He foreknew or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with G-d against Israel? C. The future DELIVERANCE of the people of Israel C. The future DELIVERANCE of the people of Israel Ezekiel 37:21-28 21 "Say to them, 'Thus says the L-rd G-d, "Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 9
Ezekiel 37:21-28 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms. Ezekiel 37:21-28 23 "They will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their G-d. Ezekiel 37:21-28 24 "My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them. 25 "They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons' sons, forever; and David My servant will be their prince forever. Ezekiel 37:21-28 26 "I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them and I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 "My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their G-d, and they will be My people. 28 "And the nations will know that I am the L-rd who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever."'" Zechariah 12:10 10 "I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. Zechariah 13:1 1 "In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity. 10
Romans 11:25-27 25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery -- so that you will not be wise in your own estimation -- that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNG-DLINESS FROM JACOB. Romans 11:25-27 27 "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS." Romans 11:11-15 11 I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous. 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be! Romans 11:11-15 13 But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, 14 if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? A. His WORD 11
A. His WORD Romans 15:4 4 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is inspired by G-d and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of G-d may be adequate, equipped for every good work. B. Our WORSHIP C. Our WALK C. Our WALK Deuteronomy 10:12 12 "Now, Israel, what does the L-rd your G-d require from you, but to fear the L-rd your G-d, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the L-rd your G-d with all your heart and with all your soul, Romans 6:4 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through immersion into death, so that as Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 12
Galatians 5:25 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Galatians 6:15-16 15 For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of G-d. 13
