Everybody, we are going to take 3 00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.600 up an argument that is found in the new book living in the days of deception, 4 00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:20.360 replacement theology, and how well you know scripture to argue your position 5 00:00:20.360 --> 00:00:28.000 that the church and Israel are two separate entities says God.

Here is Jack Hibbs. 11 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:04.000 Hey everybody, listen, you're in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. We're going to make this brief, 12 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.240 but hopefully powerful. With all that's going on in the world right now, 13 00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:15.200 I mean, there's fires burning in every direction and I even heard last night 14 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:22.080 through some law enforcement personnel that there's people alerts are heightened for this coming 15 00:01:22.160 --> 00:01:27.920 summer in America for wildfires and all this stuff. Terrorism blah, blah, blah. 16 00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:33.680 All this is taking place. In the midst of the flurry of insanity and craziness, 17 00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:39.760 it is so important to address what's going on in the church in the world. And when I say the 18 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:47.600 church, we are finding out every day who is in the church and what is the church. One of 19 00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:53.280 the things about being the church in the last days is recognizing your place, recognizing who 20 00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:03.680 and what you are. The church is the church of the living God, the espoused bride of Christ who is 21 00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:12.160 engaged, scripture clearly implies to us in the New Testament to the Son of God who's coming back. 22 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:18.160 The Bible says to receive us to Himself that we might experience book of revelation. 23 00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:24.400 The marriage supper of the Lamb and it is the church, the church, church, church, church. 24 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.880 And she is found in the book of, well, she's found in the Bible New Testament all the way up to 25 00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:39.920 Revelation chapter 4 verse 1. She's never again seen on earth, but discovered in heaven somehow, 26 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:47.280 how'd she get there. In Revelation chapter 19, where she is rejoicing and she is wearing her fine 27 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:54.320 linen, clean and bright, which is the righteous acts of the saints. And she is on a white horse, 28 00:02:55.760 --> 00:03:07.600 and she is wearing a crown. She is following someone whose face is as white or bright as the 29 00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:13.520 sun whose eyes are as a flame of fire out of his mouth goes to sharp to its sword. And we follow 30 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:21.280 him from heaven to earth in the second coming. His foot is going to hit the mound of olives, it says, 31 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:28.880 it's going to just split open. Water is going to come gushing out. Ezekiel tells us, Zechariah tells us 32 00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:36.720 and that he lands in Jerusalem and the Bible says that we are with him, the bride of Christ, 33 00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:43.680 and then he establishes his judgment seat where he divides the sheep from the goats, Matthew chapter 34 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:52.720 25, and he judges those based on how the world treated his brethren, the Jews. And then after that 35 00:03:52.720 --> 00:04:02.880 judgment, those who are condemned are taken away to judgment and those who are deemed acceptable, 36 00:04:02.880 --> 00:04:07.760 those are mortals, not the church. They live into the millennial kingdom, and that is where we 37 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:12.640 rule and reign with him for a thousand years. It's called the millennium. Jesus Christ must sit on 38 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:18.880 the throne of David during the millennium. All that to say, the church, and I wonder if you caught it, 39 00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:27.840 the church is 100% different and separate from Israel. Jesus returns to Jerusalem, the Bible says, 40 00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:36.720 Jesus returns to Israel, not Palestine, not Ielica Patelina, Jerusalem, not Palestine, 41 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:44.640 not Ielica Patelina, but Israel, Jerusalem. Jesus sits on the throne of David, not Muhammad, 42 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:52.080 David, the Bible says. And so, insane this real quick, and we'll pick it up some other time in a 43 00:04:52.080 --> 00:05:00.400 deeper podcast together. But just know this right now, there are people who are getting all messed up, 44 00:05:00.400 --> 00:05:05.360 and I'm loving, I'm sorry to tell you, I'm loving every moment of it, because these are people 45 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.360 who tampered with their Bible in the first place, and they took Israel because they, listen, 46 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:16.000 because they have an end time worldview that's different than what the Bible teaches, 47 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:22.640 they wound up saying, hmm, I guess Adolf Hitler was correct. And some of the, some of the 48 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.920 reformers were correct. Listen, the reformers were awesome, but boy, they had end time theology 49 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:36.800 completely messed up. Look, I'm a big fan of Charles Spurgeon, but you never read Charles Spurgeon 50 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:42.560 regarding the book of Daniel or Bible prophecy. He's a devotional teacher when it comes to 51 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:48.240 prophecy. He doesn't take it literally. Well, all of a sudden, the Bible we'd discover, 52 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:57.600 Israel's a nation again, and it became a nation in one day, Isaiah chapter 66, and all that is a 53 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:05.040 precursor to God calling this people back into their own land. For example, Ezekiel chapter 36, 54 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:14.240 you got to read it slow. And all around verse 26, chapter 36, verse 26, God tells the Jews, 55 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.920 I'm going to bring you back into your land. By the way, you're going to come back into your own 56 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:23.680 land that I promised to your fathers, if you figure that one out, what could that be? I tell you 57 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:32.480 what, it's not California. Okay, it's not London. It's not Mozambique. It's Israel. The only promised 58 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:40.640 land in the Bible is Israel to the Jewish people. God says, right before the end time scenario 59 00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:44.640 sets off, I got to bring you back into your own land. Oh, and by the way, here's a clue. You're 60 00:06:44.640 --> 00:06:51.760 going to come back into your own land in unbelief. People today are saying, Israel is a illegitimate 61 00:06:51.760 --> 00:06:56.960 nation because they don't believe in Jesus. Of course, they don't believe in Jesus. What's wrong with 62 00:06:57.760 --> 00:07:03.680 you? The Bible says they would return not believing in Jesus. They would return an unbelief, 63 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:13.680 unbelief. The Bible's perfect. They've been returning since 1890 to Jerusalem to Israel. And even 64 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:22.320 today in the 21st century, the year 2024, the nation doesn't believe. In fact, many Jews in 65 00:07:22.320 --> 00:07:29.120 Israel are atheist, so they claim. This is all in the scriptures. But there's going to be events 66 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:34.000 once they're back into their own land that is going to cause them to open their eyes to belief. 67 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:41.920 One of them, it seems to be the trigger itself, is the Ezekiel chapter 38 battle where they begin 68 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:49.040 to start believing. And so that is a very important thing. But here's the point that I want to 69 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:57.360 leave with you most, most powerfully is this. Jeremiah chapter 31, beginning at verse 31. That's 70 00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:03.840 easy to remember, by the way, right? Jeremiah 31, 31. Listen to this. Now, I want all of you 71 00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:10.400 replacement theology guys to check this out. And I take great delight, by the way, and you trying to 72 00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:17.280 go through all kinds of Bible conceptions and seizures because you're going to try to explain this 73 00:08:17.280 --> 00:08:23.920 away. So good luck. May the luck of the Lord be with you because that's all you got. This is what 74 00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:36.160 the Bible says, okay? Behold, the days are coming. Says the Lord, by the way, it says, yeah, why 75 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:46.800 age? That's the name of God. When I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, well, 76 00:08:46.800 --> 00:08:51.360 what could that mean? Well, I don't know. Let's just keep reading. And with the house of Judah, 77 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:59.440 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day, I took them by the hand 78 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:07.280 and led them out of the land of Egypt. Is this specific or what? My covenant which they broke, 79 00:09:07.280 --> 00:09:13.120 though I was a husband to them, says the Lord, but this is the covenant that I will make with the 80 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:21.040 house of Israel after those days, after what days, after the days of God being done with the first 81 00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:27.840 covenant. The first covenant is going to be removed. It's going to be complete fulfilled. It's 82 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:37.120 going to expire and a new covenant is going to start, okay? So this is very important because 83 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.440 friends, listen, we're living in the days of deception. That's why I wrote the book, living in the 84 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:47.280 days of deception. Well, here's a shameless plug. You can get it everywhere. Books are sold, 85 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:58.960 but you can also buy it at Jekkebs.com, okay? Why? Because we cover about a good section regarding 86 00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:04.560 replacement theology, but listen up everybody. This is why you should not be deceived. And if you're 87 00:10:04.560 --> 00:10:08.720 in a church that teaches that the church is going to go through the tribulation period because the 88 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:15.440 church is now Israel, you need to run and never return to that church. I'm dead serious. Because if 89 00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:20.400 they're messed up on that, then they're messed up on other doctrines and they're also calling God 90 00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:27.280 a liar based upon Jeremiah 31, all right? But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of 91 00:10:27.280 --> 00:10:33.760 Israel and after those days says the Lord, I will put my law in their minds, not on stone, 92 00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:39.120 right? Not on a rock. And I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God and they shall be 93 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:45.120 my people. You hear that? Hey, you're going to come back into your land. You're not going to 94 00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:53.760 know me, but I'm going to instigate, initiate, I'm going to pull the trigger after you guys 95 00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:59.040 are back in your own land and you're going to start to understand that I'm your God and you're my 96 00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:09.200 people. I keep my promises. No more shall every man teach his neighbor and every man his brother 97 00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:16.640 saying, No, the Lord, for they all shall know me from the least of them to the greatest of them, 98 00:11:16.640 --> 00:11:23.200 says the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and their sins. I will remember no more. Friends, 99 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:31.600 listen, what's going on right now with Israel and the war and all the rhetoric don't panic everybody. 100 00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:36.080 Don't worry. Don't get nervous. And listen, my friends in Israel, 101 00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:44.080 don't worry. Turn your eyes to the Lord. That's what you should be doing right now. 102 00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:55.600 Turn your eyes to the Lord. Hey, let me be blunt. You're in a war where your enemy is seeking your 103 00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:04.080 total annihilation. Okay. And if anybody knows anything about Islam, Islam cannot be a success 104 00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:12.560 until there's no more Jews and until Israel is obliterated. That's part of the function of the 105 00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:22.560 muddy. The muddy is the Islamic savior. And Islam teaches that Israel has got to be demolished 106 00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:30.800 and the world has got to be on fire to usher in their Messiah, the muddy. Well, listen, 107 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:40.480 the Jews today need to fight for their lives. There is going to be wars and there is going to be 108 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:46.000 big wars. There's going to be wars until the Prince of Peace returns. That's Jesus. 109 00:12:46.640 --> 00:12:52.800 In the meantime, God says to Israel, in this time of battle, turn to me. 110 00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:58.160 Right now, Israel is fighting with the state of the art weapon tree. 111 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.640 But Israel needs to turn their heart toward the Lord and let the Lord fight their battles. 112 00:13:04.640 --> 00:13:10.080 You say, well, how's that going to happen? Like it always has happened. God told Joshua, 113 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:17.520 God told Moses, God told David, God told his warriors, go to battle tomorrow. I will be with you. 114 00:13:17.520 --> 00:13:21.360 Did you hear that everybody? Pastor, I can't believe the pastor is saying that. Oh, we need to 115 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:27.120 grow up. Listen, here's the truth. Okay. God told Israel, go to battle tomorrow. In fact, right now, 116 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:34.160 Israel sanctify yourself. Don't need anything unclean. Don't sleep with any women tonight because 117 00:13:34.160 --> 00:13:39.760 I want you to be pure tomorrow. You go to battle and I'm going to deliver the enemy into your 118 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:46.240 hands. And as you go in fights, I will go before you. The reason why God went before Israel in those 119 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:53.200 days is because Israel turned to God and sought him and God showed up today. Yes, it's true. Today, 120 00:13:53.200 --> 00:14:00.560 Israel's fighting for its life. The problem is, yes, God is watching Israel. Yes, God will fulfill 121 00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:07.520 his word. But it's all, listen, it's all for this reason. God is waiting for you, the Jewish people 122 00:14:07.520 --> 00:14:15.280 to turn your hearts toward him to call out upon him. Read Psalm 118. Call out to the Lord, 123 00:14:15.280 --> 00:14:20.080 shout to him, Hosanna. Hosanna bless it as he who comes in the name of the Lord. Do that. 124 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:31.680 And so, friends, listen, the fact is this, replacement theology robs you of all confidence of 125 00:14:31.680 --> 00:14:41.440 Scripture and Bible prophecy. Some great names, and some of them I have their books on my shelf 126 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:47.040 because I know in this area they're crazies, but they do a great job on Mark's gospel. 127 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:55.360 Okay, I just, I just know my Bible, I read them through my Bible. So this particular author is a 128 00:14:55.360 --> 00:15:02.000 replacement theology nut, but man, is he good in the Book of Romans? So I know what to leave out, 129 00:15:02.880 --> 00:15:08.960 okay? But I would never read him for first and second Thessalonians. I would never read him for 130 00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:16.320 the Book of Revelation, Daniel or Ezekiel, they go off the rails. Let the Bible be the Bible, 131 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.240 judge everything that you hear and read through the Word of God. But know this everybody, 132 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:27.200 that Israel is not the church and the church is not Israel. For all time and eternity, 133 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:32.720 they're completely separate entities. The Bible says in the book of Jeremiah that Israel is 134 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:41.440 already married to Jehovah. Israel is married to God the Father. The church is engaged to God the 135 00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:51.920 Son. The Jew is married to the Father. The predominantly, not totally, but the predominantly Gentile 136 00:15:51.920 --> 00:16:03.600 bride, kind of like Ruth is married to Boaz. Think of that. Rahab, she's in the genealogy of the Messiah. 137 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:11.600 Well, the church is predominantly, not exclusively, but predominantly Gentile. Who she married to? 138 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:18.880 Well, she's not married yet. The Bible says she's engaged to Christ Jesus. So this is very important, 139 00:16:18.880 --> 00:16:26.400 very key. If your church teaches replacement theology that Israel has no right to exist, 140 00:16:26.400 --> 00:16:34.960 then they're playing right into the deceptive plot of Satan himself and their lockstep in line with 141 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:42.800 Islam and anti-Semitic people who do not know the scriptures. So don't tell me that you've got a 142 00:16:42.800 --> 00:16:48.000 degree from X, Y university and you don't believe in Israel now. You just got your doctorate in 143 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:54.800 theology from where and you don't believe in the viable nation of Israel even in this moment of 144 00:16:54.800 --> 00:17:06.160 unbelief. Wow. All I could say is, wow, you've been deceived. Read the Bible. Let it speak for 145 00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:14.720 itself. This is a topic that we need to take up later on and deeper. But man, this is a life 146 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:19.600 or death moment because if somebody says to you, yeah, I know it says right here that there's going 147 00:17:19.600 --> 00:17:28.560 to be 144,000 Jews during the tribulation period that speak Hebrew, Virgin, male, undefiled, 148 00:17:28.560 --> 00:17:36.160 Hebrew, 12,000 men from each tribe of the nation of Israel preaching the gospel during the tribulation 149 00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:42.160 period. But what that really means is, you know, metaphorically speaking, that's what's going on 150 00:17:42.320 --> 00:17:51.520 here. These are types. These are typologies and metaphors. And you know what? I don't know what to 151 00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:55.520 say. I'm going to watch my mouth right now because I kind of feel like Nehemiah. I'd grab that 152 00:17:55.520 --> 00:18:02.160 person by the beard and drag them out of the church because that is an assault on the word of God 153 00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:07.760 and what God has said. No, my friends, listen, you must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven 154 00:18:07.760 --> 00:18:13.600 and read John chapter three. So I'm a long time member of the first Baptist church of 155 00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:23.360 whatever town. My father was the pastor, my grandfather was the pastor. I'm the fifth generation. 156 00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:29.440 I didn't ask you that. Jesus said, you must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. 157 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:36.000 John chapter three, are you born again? Are you the choir director? That's your defense. I'm the choir 158 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:47.120 director. Now, so what? I'm a pastor of the biggest church in my town that doesn't make it good. 159 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:55.120 What do you know about the scriptures regarding the difference? Can you argue the difference? 160 00:18:56.080 --> 00:19:01.760 Oh, listen, I'll give you two answers here. One's easy, one's hard. Can you 161 00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:13.120 show someone else, including yourself, from the New Testament, the difference between the church 162 00:19:13.120 --> 00:19:21.920 and Israel? Now, here's the hard one. Can you show, can you find the difference in the Old Testament 163 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:31.920 from the mystery, the church that's not revealed by the name church in the Old Testament? Can you 164 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:40.960 find Gentiles who are saved in the Old Testament that are different from Israel in the Old Testament? 165 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:50.480 I can. All over the place. So should you be able to? Stuff that should make you think. These 166 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:55.920 are critical days. Friends, listen, as always, we believe it's time to live out what it is that you 167 00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:01.600 believe in. It's time for real life and real life is knowing the Word of God and living it out. 168 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:07.760 So listen, I hope this stirred the pot a little bit. Get you thinking. Don't email me right away. Don't 169 00:20:07.760 --> 00:20:13.760 call me up and start cussing me out. If you're going to cuss me out, have a good reason. Do some 170 00:20:13.760 --> 00:20:22.640 homework. If you email me, listen, I get all kinds of comments. Get to the point. Just say, I 171 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:31.280 don't understand this. I need help. Okay, we can work with that. But if you just email me to say, 172 00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:38.480 I don't like you. Look, I don't know if I like you either. But the Bible says we're supposed to dwell 173 00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:46.160 together, right? The Bible says in Romans, live together as much as it is possible. You may be born 174 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:51.680 again, but you say, no, no, Israel is zero gone. Listen, friend, you can be enlightened from the Bible. 175 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.440 Okay, this has nothing to do with personalities. Has everything to do with God's bedrock truth. 176 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:00.320 Until next time, God bless you.
