Sid: You know what while I’m talking to you God’s talking to me and He’s telling me that this project the teaching that I’m going to be doing for the next few weeks or so is so important to his heart, please listen and take heed to what the Spirit of God is saying because this is the set time to favor Zion.
Now I said on yesterday’s broadcast that when you follow the law of evangelism that God followed, that Jesus followed, that Paul followed it results in the greatest Gentile revival. And what is the law of evangelism? Reach out to the Jew first, walk right into, in fact, bump right into Genesis 12:3 which God says “I God will bless those who bless the Jewish people, I God will curse those who curse them.” And so when you bless the Jewish person with the greatest blessing imaginable salvation your family gets saved, your loved ones get saved, multitudes millions of Gentiles will get saved by investing the law of evangelism the way God did it, Jesus did, and Paul did it from the Bible. But then Amos the 9th chapter verse 11 and 13 tell us “That on that day I God will raise up the Tabernacle of David.” What is the Tabernacle of David? We know what that is, it’s a place where David worshiped God from but is there a hidden reading that if you were Jewish and understood Hebrew and lived back then you would have understood, yes, there is, the word tabernacle in the Hebrew means house or family. So what is God saying “On that day I will raise up the family of David.” Who’s the family of David? The Jewish people and then verse 13 “Behold the days are coming says the Lord when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes, him who sows seed.” In other words the harvest will be so great that next year you’ll go for the harvest and you will not have been able to pick all the fruit, all the souls that are being saved. The churches will not be large enough for the harvest that’s going to happen. When is it going to happen? When the Tabernacle of David is restored. What is the Tabernacle of David? The family of David, who is the family of David? The Jewish people, so when you reach out to a Jewish person you are speeding up the restoration of the Tabernacle of David which will spark the One New Man Jew and Gentile; one in Jesus which will spark, be the catalyst for a revival like the world has never seen before. And if that’s not enough for you did you know that Jesus will not return until the Jewish people are saved? A lot of people miss understand this, but it’s real simple to me Matthew 23:29. Jesus speaking “For I say to you, you shall see no more till you say,” and He’s speaking to the Jewish people Till the Jewish people say “Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.” And some people deceived people say “Yes, but the Jews are just like any other nation right now they’re not still called.” Well, I refer you to the book of Roman’s Chapter 11 verse 28 and 29 real clear. “Concerning the gospel they are enemies… the Jewish people, for your sake but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gift and calling of God are irrevocable.” That’s God’s word, so don’t you say God is finished with the Jewish people because God says “The gift and calling of God,” why for the sake of the father. Who are the fathers? Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; we’ll get into that in a little while, they’re irrevocable. And then someone actually raised the objection last week with me they said “Wait a second, Paul himself stopped witnessing to the Jewish people.” And he pulled out Acts 18 verse 6-8 and this is what he said “But when they,” that’s the Jewish people opposed him that’s Paul… so when the Jewish people opposed Paul and blasphemed him he shook his garments and said to the Jewish people “Your blood be upon your own heads, I am clean from now on I will go to the Gentiles.” You should keep reading the next verse he moves into a house next door to the synagogue and next thing we know the head of the synagogue gets saved and there’s a revival upon the Jewish people in that city. And if that’s not enough that was Acts 18 just go to the next chapter Acts 19 verse 8 “And Paul” that’s he “went into the synagogue and went into the synagogue when he says “For now on I’m going to the Gentiles.” I guess maybe the Gentiles were all in the synagogue, no they were Jews. For he went into the synagogue and he spoke boldly for three months, hows that for a revival? A three month revival in the synagogue reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the Kingdom of God. So don’t give me that excuse.
What about this “Are Jewish people saved because their under the Old Covenant? Well, I have to refer you to Acts 4 verse 12 “Nor is there salvation in any other for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” So there is…and what’s the reason for that? If we were saved under the Old Covenant we’d have to have the temple, we’d have to have the sacrificial system of animals because the book of Leviticus Chapter 17 verse 11 says “I’ve given the blood upon the altar as atonement for sin.” It is the blood that makes atonement for sin. Well, God didn’t want the blood of animals those were shadows pointing towards Jesus but if you want to do it Biblically under the Old Testament you need a temple, and you need animal sacrifices, but God didn’t that He didn’t want the animal sacrificed He wanted a shadow to show us how horrific the penalty for sin was. And the sacrifice that the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the whole world was going to make for us. I’m Jewish as much as I would like to see all Jews saved under the Old Covenant you have to according to Leviticus you have to have sacrifice in the temple. There’s not even a temple, so therefore either Jesus is our Messiah, or we Jewish people are separated from God forever. There is no other name given unto men in which we must be saved.
So why is it that Jewish people don’t believe that Jesus is the Messiah? Well, first of all many Jewish people do, the Jewish historian Josephus at the turn of the first century said “There were a million Jewish believers in Jesus,” I’m a Jewish believer in Jesus. I have many friends that are Jewish believers in Jesus but yes the majority do not and I pray that this teaching will give you a supernatural impartation of what I call a Jewish heart.
There’s an old Hasidic story about a Talmudic student who goes to his Rabbi and says “Oh master, I love you.” The Rabbi responds with a question “Tell me do you know what hurts me?” The young man is bewildered he’s taken aback “Why do you ask me such a confusing question when I just told you that I love you?” The Rabbi shakes his head, “Because my friend if you do not know what hurts me how can you say you love me?”
We’re going to find out what hurts my Jewish people, everyone has heard the Jewish people are the chosen people, but you tell a Jewish person they’re chosen they’ll say “I wish I wasn’t so chosen.” You ask a Gentile person why are the Jewish people chosen, they don’t have a clue. Well, let me tell you why the Jewish person was chosen, Isaiah 43:10 God says this is the call of the Jew, oh God do we need this today! “You are my witnesses.” Do you know what the word Jew in Hebrew means? It’s Yehudi which means a praiser of God. So the Jewish people were selected to be witnesses and praisers of God. Watch the worship that’s going to come forth when Jewish people are saved, watch the prophetic that’s going to come forth when Jewish people are saved. Watch the evangelism that’s going to come forth when Jewish people are saved. Speaking of Jewish evangelism Zechariah 8:23 that’s Jews being true Jews, that’s praisers of God. Zechariah 8:23 says “Thus says the Lord of Hosts in those days 10 men, that’s 10 Gentiles from every language of the nation shall grasp the sleeve. That’s the tseetseet, the fringes of the prayer shawl of a Jewish man, saying “Let us go with you for we have heard that God is with you.” Now I’ve got to stop right now.
