Everybody we are going to take 3 00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:14.640 up an argument that is found in the new book living in the days of deception, 4 00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:20.400 replacement theology, and how well you know scripture to argue your position 5 00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:28.440 that the church and Israel are two separate entities says God.

Now open your hearts to what God's Word has to say to you. Here is Jack 11 00:00:56.540 --> 00:01:02.820 Hibbs. Hey everybody, listen, you're in a hurry. I'm in a hurry. We're going to 12 00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:07.660 make this brief, but hopefully powerful with all that's going on in the 13 00:01:07.660 --> 00:01:14.340 world right now. I mean, there's fires burning in every direction and I even 14 00:01:14.340 --> 00:01:18.900 heard last night through some law enforcement personnel that there's people 15 00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:26.060 alerts are heightened for this coming summer in America for wildfires and all 16 00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:31.220 this stuff. Terrorism blah, blah, blah. All this is taking place. In the midst of 17 00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:35.980 the flurry of insanity and craziness, it is so important to address what's 18 00:01:35.980 --> 00:01:42.420 going on in the church in the world. And when I say the church, we are 19 00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:47.780 finding out every day who is in the church and what what is the church. One of 20 00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:51.420 the things about being the church in the last days is recognizing your place, 21 00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:59.860 recognizing who and what you are. The church is the church of the living God, the 22 00:01:59.860 --> 00:02:08.660 espoused bride of Christ who is engaged, scripture clearly implies to us in the 23 00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:14.060 New Testament to the Son of God who's coming back. The Bible says to receive us to 24 00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:20.140 himself that we might experience Book of Revelation, the marriage supper of the 25 00:02:20.140 --> 00:02:26.860 Lamb, and it is the church, the church, church, church, church. And she is found in 26 00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:30.860 the book of, well, she's found in the Bible New Testament all the way up to 27 00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:38.620 Revelation chapter 4 verse 1. She's never again seen on earth, but discovered in 28 00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:44.300 heaven somehow how she get there in Revelation chapter 19 where she is 29 00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:50.060 rejoicing and she is wearing her fine linen, clean and bright, which is the 30 00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:57.700 righteous acts of the saints. And she is on a white horse and she is wearing a 31 00:02:57.700 --> 00:03:07.940 crown. She is following someone whose face is as white or bright as the sun, 32 00:03:07.940 --> 00:03:11.900 whose eyes are as a flame of fire. Out of his mouth goes his sharp to its 33 00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:18.500 sword. And we follow him from heaven to earth in the second coming. His foot's 34 00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:25.180 going to hit the mound of olives it says. It's going to just split open. Water's 35 00:03:25.180 --> 00:03:31.100 going to come gushing out. Ezekiel tells us, Zechariah tells us, and that he lands 36 00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:36.540 in Jerusalem. And the Bible says that we are with him, the bride of Christ, and 37 00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:42.940 then he establishes his judgment seat where he divides the sheep from the goats, 38 00:03:42.980 --> 00:03:48.940 Matthew chapter 25. And he judges those based on how the world treated his 39 00:03:48.940 --> 00:03:56.820 brethren, the Jews. And then after that judgment, those who are condemned are 40 00:03:56.820 --> 00:04:03.740 taken away to judgment. And those who are deemed acceptable, those are mortals, 41 00:04:03.740 --> 00:04:08.140 not the church, they live into the millennial kingdom. And that is where we rule 42 00:04:08.140 --> 00:04:11.780 out and reign with him for a thousand years. It's called the millennium. Jesus 43 00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:17.260 Christ must sit on the throne of David during the millennium, all that to say the 44 00:04:17.260 --> 00:04:22.340 church. And I wonder if you caught it. The church is 100% different and separate 45 00:04:22.340 --> 00:04:29.820 from Israel. Jesus returns to Jerusalem. The Bible says, Jesus returns to Israel, 46 00:04:29.820 --> 00:04:37.500 not Palestine, not Ayila, Kapitalina, Jerusalem, not Palestine, not Ayila, 47 00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:44.220 Kapitalina, but Israel, Jerusalem. Jesus sits on the throne of David, not 48 00:04:44.220 --> 00:04:50.740 Muhammad, David, the Bible says. And so insane this real quick. And we'll pick it 49 00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:56.540 up some other time in a deeper podcast together. But just know this right now, 50 00:04:56.540 --> 00:05:02.100 there are people who are getting all messed up. And I'm loving, I'm sorry to tell 51 00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:06.820 you, I'm loving every moment of it. Because these are people who tampered with 52 00:05:06.820 --> 00:05:11.220 their Bible in the first place. And they took Israel because they had, listen, 53 00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:15.220 because they have an end time worldview that's different than what the Bible 54 00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:21.820 teaches. They wound up saying, hmm, I guess Adolf Hitler was correct. And some of 55 00:05:21.820 --> 00:05:28.060 the, some of the reformers were correct. Listen, the reformers were awesome. But 56 00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:33.620 boy, they had, they had end time theology completely messed up. Look, I'm a big 57 00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:37.940 fan of Charles Spurgeon, but you never read Charles Spurgeon regarding the book 58 00:05:37.940 --> 00:05:42.660 of Daniel or Bible prophecy. He's a devotional teacher when it comes to 59 00:05:42.660 --> 00:05:47.460 prophecy. He doesn't take it literally. Well, all of a sudden, the Bible we 60 00:05:47.460 --> 00:05:53.780 discover, Israel's a nation again, and it became a nation in one day, Isaiah chapter 61 00:05:53.780 --> 00:06:01.020 66. And all that is a precursor to God calling this people back into their 62 00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:08.700 own land. For example, Ezekiel chapter 36, you got to read it slow. And all around 63 00:06:08.700 --> 00:06:15.260 verse 26, chapter 36, verse 26, God tells the Jews, I'm going to bring you back 64 00:06:15.260 --> 00:06:19.060 into your land. By the way, you're going to come back into your own land that I 65 00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:23.740 promised to your fathers, figure that one out. What could that be? I'll tell you 66 00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:31.380 what, it's not California. Okay, it's not London. It's not Mozambique. It's Israel. 67 00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:38.780 The only promised land in the Bible is Israel to the Jewish people. God says, right 68 00:06:38.780 --> 00:06:43.140 before the end time scenario sets off, I got to bring you back into your own land. Oh, 69 00:06:43.140 --> 00:06:46.180 and by the way, here's a clue. You're going to come back into your own land in 70 00:06:46.180 --> 00:06:52.380 unbelief. People today are saying Israel is a legitimate, illegitimate nation because 71 00:06:52.380 --> 00:06:57.020 they don't believe in Jesus. Of course, they don't believe in Jesus. What's wrong with 72 00:06:57.020 --> 00:07:03.260 you? The Bible says they would return not believing in Jesus. They would return an 73 00:07:03.260 --> 00:07:12.180 unbelief, unbelief. The Bible's perfect. They've been returning since 1890 to Jerusalem 74 00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:21.540 to Israel. And even today in the 21st century, the year 2024, the nation doesn't believe. 75 00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:27.880 In fact, many Jews in Israel are atheist, so they claim. This is all in the scriptures. 76 00:07:27.880 --> 00:07:32.100 But there's going to be events once they're back into their own land that is going to cause 77 00:07:32.100 --> 00:07:37.740 them to open their eyes to belief. One of them, it seems to be the trigger itself, is 78 00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:46.900 the Ezekiel chapter 38 battle where they begin to start believing. And so that is a very 79 00:07:46.900 --> 00:07:51.260 important thing. But here's the point that I want to leave with you most, most powerfully 80 00:07:51.260 --> 00:07:58.660 as this. Jeremiah chapter 31, beginning at verse 31. That's easy to remember, by the way, 81 00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:04.980 right? Jeremiah 31, 31. Listen to this. Now, I want all of you replacement theology 82 00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:10.820 guys to check this out. And I take great delight, by the way, and you trying to go through 83 00:08:10.820 --> 00:08:17.380 all kinds of Bible conceptions and seizures, because you're going to try to explain this 84 00:08:17.380 --> 00:08:23.740 away. So good luck. May the luck of the Lord be with you, because that's all you got. 85 00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:34.420 This is what the Bible says, okay? Behold, the days are coming. Says the Lord, by the way, 86 00:08:34.420 --> 00:08:45.420 it says, yeah, why a H? That's the name of God. When I will make a new covenant with the house 87 00:08:45.420 --> 00:08:50.300 of Israel, well, what could that mean? Well, I don't know. Let's just keep reading. And with the 88 00:08:50.300 --> 00:08:58.460 house of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day, I took 89 00:08:58.540 --> 00:09:05.780 them by the hand and led them out of the land of Egypt. Is this specific or what? My covenant 90 00:09:05.780 --> 00:09:11.940 which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord, but this is the covenant 91 00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:18.940 that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, after what days, after the days 92 00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:25.740 of God being done with the first covenant. The first covenant is going to be removed. It's 93 00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:33.860 going to be complete fulfilled. It's going to expire. And a new covenant is going to start, 94 00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:39.580 okay? So this is very important, because friends listen, we're living in the days of deception. 95 00:09:39.580 --> 00:09:45.300 That's why I wrote the book, living in the days of deception. Well, here's a shameless plug. You 96 00:09:45.300 --> 00:09:54.380 can get it everywhere. Books are sold, but you can also buy it at Jekkebs.com, okay? Why? Because we 97 00:09:54.380 --> 00:10:03.220 cover about a good section regarding replacement theology, but listen up everybody. This is why you 98 00:10:03.220 --> 00:10:07.260 should not be deceived. And if you're in a church that teaches that the church is going to go 99 00:10:07.260 --> 00:10:12.980 through the tribulation period because the church is now Israel, you need to run and never return 100 00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:18.620 to that church. I'm dead serious. Because if they're messed up on that, they're messed up on 101 00:10:18.700 --> 00:10:24.860 other doctrines. And they're also calling God a liar based upon Jeremiah 31, all right? But 102 00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:29.980 this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel and after those days says the Lord, 103 00:10:29.980 --> 00:10:36.540 I will put my law in their minds, not on stone, right? Not on a rock. And I will write them on 104 00:10:36.540 --> 00:10:43.020 their hearts. I will be their God and they shall be my people. You hear that? Hey, you're going to 105 00:10:43.100 --> 00:10:50.540 come back into your land. You're not going to know me. But I'm going to instigate, initiate, I'm going 106 00:10:50.540 --> 00:10:57.100 to pull the trigger after you guys are back in your own land and you're going to start to understand 107 00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:06.300 that I'm your God and you're my people. I keep my promises. No more shall every man teach his 108 00:11:06.300 --> 00:11:13.900 neighbor and every man his brother saying, No, the Lord, for they all shall know me from the 109 00:11:13.900 --> 00:11:20.460 least of them to the greatest of them says the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and their 110 00:11:20.460 --> 00:11:28.300 sins. I will remember no more. Friends, listen, what's going on right now with Israel and the war 111 00:11:28.300 --> 00:11:35.500 and all the rhetoric? Don't panic, everybody. Don't worry. Don't get nervous. And listen, my friends 112 00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:44.060 in Israel. Don't worry. Turn your eyes to the Lord. That's what you should be doing right now. 113 00:11:45.260 --> 00:11:55.660 Turn your eyes to the Lord. Hey, let me be blunt. You're in a war where your enemy is seeking your 114 00:11:55.660 --> 00:12:04.140 total annihilation. Okay. And if anybody knows anything about Islam, Islam cannot be a success 115 00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:12.540 until there's no more Jews and until Israel is obliterated. That's part of the function of the 116 00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:22.540 muddy. The muddy is the Islamic savior. And Islam teaches that Israel has got to be demolished 117 00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:30.860 and the world has got to be on fire to usher in their Messiah, the muddy. Well, listen, 118 00:12:33.900 --> 00:12:40.460 the Jews today need to fight for their lives. There is going to be wars and there is going to be 119 00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:47.500 big wars. There's going to be wars until the Prince of Peace returns. That's Jesus. In the meantime, 120 00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:57.180 God says to Israel, in this time of battle, turn to me. Right now, Israel is fighting with the state 121 00:12:57.180 --> 00:13:04.140 of the art weaponry. But Israel needs to turn their heart toward the Lord and let the Lord fight 122 00:13:04.140 --> 00:13:10.140 their battles. You say, well, how's that going to happen? Like it always has happened. God told Joshua, 123 00:13:10.140 --> 00:13:17.580 God told Moses, God told David, God told his warriors, go to battle tomorrow. I will be with you. 124 00:13:17.580 --> 00:13:21.420 Did you hear that, everybody? Pastor, I can't believe the pastor is saying that. Oh, we need to 125 00:13:21.420 --> 00:13:27.180 grow up. Listen, here's the truth. Okay. God told Israel, go to battle tomorrow. In fact, right now, 126 00:13:27.180 --> 00:13:34.220 Israel sanctify yourself. Don't need anything unclean. Don't sleep with any women tonight because 127 00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:39.820 I want you to be pure tomorrow. You go to battle and I'm going to deliver the enemy into your 128 00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:45.980 hands. And as you go in fights, I will go before you. The reason why God went before Israel and 129 00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:52.780 those days is because Israel turned to God and sought him and God showed up today. Yes, it's true. 130 00:13:52.780 --> 00:13:59.660 Today, Israel's fighting for its life. The problem is, yes, God is watching Israel. Yes, 131 00:13:59.660 --> 00:14:06.700 God will fulfill his word. But it's all, listen, it's all for this reason. God is waiting for you, 132 00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:13.500 the Jewish people to turn your hearts toward Him. To call out upon Him, read Psalm 118, 133 00:14:14.140 --> 00:14:19.100 call out to the Lord, shout to Him, Hosanna. Hosanna, bless it as He who comes in the name of the 134 00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:30.780 Lord. Do that. And so, friends, listen, the fact is this, replacement theology robs you of all 135 00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:40.780 confidence of Scripture and Bible prophecy. Some great names and some of them I have their books 136 00:14:40.780 --> 00:14:47.100 on my shelf because I know in this area, they're crazies, but they do a great job on Mark's gospel. 137 00:14:48.300 --> 00:14:55.260 Okay, I just, I just know for my Bible, I read them through my Bible. So this particular author is 138 00:14:55.260 --> 00:15:02.060 a replacement theology nut, but man, is he good in the Book of Romans? So I know what to leave out, 139 00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:09.020 okay? But I would never read him for first and second Thessalonians. I would never read him for 140 00:15:09.020 --> 00:15:16.380 the Book of Revelation, Daniel or Ezekiel, they go off the rails. Let the Bible be the Bible, 141 00:15:16.380 --> 00:15:20.300 judge everything that you hear and read through the Word of God. But know this everybody, 142 00:15:20.940 --> 00:15:27.180 that Israel is not the church and the church is not Israel. For all time and eternity, 143 00:15:27.180 --> 00:15:32.780 they're completely separate entities. The Bible says in the book of Jeremiah that Israel is 144 00:15:32.780 --> 00:15:41.500 already married to Jehovah. Israel is married to God the Father. The church is engaged to God the 145 00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:52.380 Son. The Jew is married to the Father. The predominantly, not totally, but the predominantly Gentile bride, 146 00:15:53.260 --> 00:16:03.580 kind of like Ruth is married to Boaz. Think of that. Rahab, she's in the genealogy of the Messiah. 147 00:16:04.380 --> 00:16:11.580 Well, the church is predominantly, not exclusively, but predominantly Gentile. Who she married to? 148 00:16:11.580 --> 00:16:18.860 Well, she's not married yet. The Bible says she's engaged to Christ Jesus. So this is very important, 149 00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:26.460 very key. If your church teaches replacement theology that Israel has no right to exist, 150 00:16:27.180 --> 00:16:34.700 then they're playing right into the deceptive plot of Satan himself and their lock step in line 151 00:16:34.700 --> 00:16:42.540 with Islam and anti-Semitic people who do not know the scriptures. So don't tell me that you've 152 00:16:42.540 --> 00:16:47.900 got a degree from XY University and you don't believe in Israel now. You just got your doctorate 153 00:16:47.900 --> 00:16:54.780 in theology from where and you don't believe in the viable nation of Israel even in this moment of 154 00:16:54.780 --> 00:17:06.220 unbelief. Wow. All I could say is, wow, you've been deceived. Read the Bible, let it speak for 155 00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:14.780 itself. This is a topic that we need to take up later on and deeper. But man, this is a life 156 00:17:14.780 --> 00:17:19.660 for death moment because if somebody says to you, yeah, I know it says right here that there's going 157 00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:28.540 to be 144,000 Jews during the tribulation period that speak Hebrew, Virgin, male, undefiled, 158 00:17:28.540 --> 00:17:36.140 Hebrew, 12,000 men from each tribe of the nation of Israel preaching the gospel during the tribulation 159 00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:42.220 period. But what that really means is, you know, metaphorically speaking, that's what's going on 160 00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:51.740 here. These are types. These are typologies and metaphors. You know what? I don't know what to say. 161 00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:55.900 I'm going to watch my mouth right now because I kind of feel like Nehemiah. I'd grab that person 162 00:17:55.900 --> 00:18:02.540 by the beard and drag them out of the church because that is an assault on the Word of God and what 163 00:18:02.540 --> 00:18:07.980 God has said. No, my friends, listen, you must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. Read 164 00:18:08.060 --> 00:18:16.140 John chapter three. So I'm a long time member of the first Baptist church of whatever town. 165 00:18:16.940 --> 00:18:24.140 My father was the pastor. My grandfather was the pastor. I'm the fifth generation. I didn't ask you 166 00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:31.740 that. Jesus said, you must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. John chapter three. Are 167 00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:36.540 you born again? Are you the choir director? That's your defense. I'm the choir director. 168 00:18:39.340 --> 00:18:47.180 Now, so what? I'm a pastor of the biggest church in my town that doesn't make it good. 169 00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:55.100 What do you know about the scriptures regarding the difference? Can you argue the difference? 170 00:18:56.060 --> 00:19:05.020 Oh, listen, I'll give you two answers here. One's easy, one's hard. Can you show someone else, 171 00:19:06.060 --> 00:19:13.820 including yourself from the New Testament, the difference between the church and Israel? 172 00:19:15.020 --> 00:19:21.980 Now, here's the hard one. Can you show, can you find the difference in the Old Testament 173 00:19:22.780 --> 00:19:31.500 from the mystery, the church that's not revealed by the name church in the Old Testament? 174 00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:40.060 Can you find Gentiles who are saved in the Old Testament that are different from Israel 175 00:19:40.060 --> 00:19:49.740 in the Old Testament? I can. I'll over the place. So should you be able to? Stuff that should make 176 00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:55.340 you think. These are critical days. Friends, listen, as always, we believe it's time to live out what 177 00:19:55.340 --> 00:20:00.940 it is that you believe in. It's time for real life and real life is knowing the word of God and 178 00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:06.860 living it out. So listen, I hope this stirred the pot a little bit. Get you thinking. Don't email me 179 00:20:06.860 --> 00:20:12.540 right away. Don't call me up and start cussing me out. If you're going to cuss me out, have a good 180 00:20:12.620 --> 00:20:20.940 reason. Do some homework. If you email me, listen, I get all kinds of comments. Get to the point. 181 00:20:22.060 --> 00:20:30.300 Just say, I don't understand this. I need help. Okay, we can work with that. But if you just 182 00:20:30.300 --> 00:20:35.100 email me to say, I don't like you. Look, I don't know if I like you either. 183 00:20:36.060 --> 00:20:43.180 But the Bible says we're supposed to dwell together. Right? The Bible says in Romans, live together 184 00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:48.940 as much as it is possible. You may be born again, but you say, nope, nope, Israel is zero gone. 185 00:20:48.940 --> 00:20:54.220 Nah, listen, friend, you can be enlightened from the Bible. Okay? This has nothing to do with 186 00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:59.740 personalities. Has everything to do with God's bedrock truth. Until next time, God bless you. 187 00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:02.300 Stay in the word.
