00:00:00.650 --> 00:00:05.690
No matter what your day is like or how big the

00:00:05.690 --> 00:00:10.189
troubles in your life, as long as God is still

00:00:10.189 --> 00:00:13.150
on his throne and hears an answer's prayer, and

00:00:13.150 --> 00:00:18.969
just so long as your faith in him is still intact,

00:00:19.730 --> 00:00:26.690
everything will come out all right. Well, sir,

00:00:26.829 --> 00:00:29.890
we're not going to have any singing today. We're

00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:32.770
not going to have any announcements. We're going

00:00:32.770 --> 00:00:36.509
to get right into our heart -to -heart talk because

00:00:36.509 --> 00:00:42.810
I feel it is most important that we give the

00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:46.770
entire 30 minutes to something that involves

00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:49.829
all of us. I could not talk to you about anything

00:00:49.829 --> 00:00:56.869
any more important. We are all interested in

00:00:56.869 --> 00:00:59.579
that which is happening. This very hour, this

00:00:59.579 --> 00:01:04.219
very day. The year in which we're living. We

00:01:04.219 --> 00:01:09.359
are all a part of it. For some time now, the

00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.239
very atmosphere has been filled with tension.

00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:18.719
Nervous tension. We're having more heart attacks.

00:01:19.859 --> 00:01:26.739
Men and women are dying of heart attacks every

00:01:26.739 --> 00:01:33.010
day. Literally scores of them. What is it? It's

00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:37.430
this tension. This terrific nervous tension.

00:01:37.650 --> 00:01:44.349
The uncertainty. There never was a people living

00:01:44.349 --> 00:01:50.349
in any day that was faced with greater uncertainty

00:01:50.349 --> 00:01:54.450
than the people living today. The insecurity.

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.140
And yet there never was a time when we talked

00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:03.540
security. Security from poverty. Security from

00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:08.819
illness. Security in the hour of sickness. Security

00:02:08.819 --> 00:02:12.439
is on the lips of men and women everywhere. Our

00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.719
government talking security. And yet there never

00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.919
was a generation where the people were as insecure

00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:26.740
as today. or a time when there was less security

00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:34.979
than now. The only man, the only woman who has

00:02:34.979 --> 00:02:42.039
real security this moment, a guaranteed security,

00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:48.219
is the man or the woman who has faith and hope

00:02:48.219 --> 00:02:53.020
and his confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:02:53.689 --> 00:03:00.090
Christ. I mean exactly that. The future is mighty

00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:05.150
dark for the unregenerated. And it's getting

00:03:05.150 --> 00:03:11.310
darker. It's getting nearer and nearer to that

00:03:11.310 --> 00:03:14.250
midnight hour. But you know what the Bible says?

00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:19.889
God says to his children, to those who are a

00:03:19.889 --> 00:03:25.360
part of his great body, when ye see these things

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:34.080
begin to come to pass. Look up. Rejoice when

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.840
you see the distress of nations, when you see

00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:45.680
the lack of morality, when you see the cheapness

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:52.550
of men's lives, when you get to... The place

00:03:52.550 --> 00:03:55.930
where everything is seen through materialistic

00:03:55.930 --> 00:04:03.330
eyes. Look up and rejoice. Why? Because your

00:04:03.330 --> 00:04:08.490
redemption draweth nigh. Things are going to

00:04:08.490 --> 00:04:10.370
happen and going to happen quickly. Believe me,

00:04:10.409 --> 00:04:15.610
I tell you something. Do you realize that as

00:04:15.610 --> 00:04:18.529
we go back into history and go back to the time...

00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.180
of the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:26.740
When he came as a baby in the manger, his first

00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:34.480
coming, 25 predictions that had been made by

00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.939
the Old Testament prophets were all literally

00:04:37.939 --> 00:04:44.319
fulfilled in 24 hours and all in one person.

00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:50.519
That is how quickly God works. I mean that. When

00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.060
we think of prophecy being fulfilled, we always

00:04:54.060 --> 00:05:01.019
take a long -range view of the thing. A way out

00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:05.759
there, some place in the distant future. Remember,

00:05:06.100 --> 00:05:11.800
and I repeat it, you read the Old Testaments

00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:17.339
when you read what the prophets had to say. regarding

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:25.199
the coming of the Christ. When they spoke of

00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.660
his wonderful coming to earth in bodily form,

00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:42.300
25 of those predictions, 25 of those prophecies

00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:48.620
were all fulfilled. In one person. In just 24

00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:53.600
hours. That was at his first coming. I believe

00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.519
that at his second coming. And we are on the

00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.879
very brink of his second coming. Any well versed

00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:07.860
Bible student. Will agree. That we are on the

00:06:07.860 --> 00:06:11.500
very threshold. Of the second coming of the Lord

00:06:11.500 --> 00:06:14.740
Jesus Christ. As sure as we came to the day.

00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.600
The hour. when the dispensation of God the Father

00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:25.699
came to a close. So surely are we coming to the

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:30.720
end of another dispensation, that of the Holy

00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.620
Spirit. We're coming now to the time of the end

00:06:34.620 --> 00:06:39.439
of the Gentiles. This dispensation is quickly

00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.540
coming to its close, and we're about to enter.

00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:50.019
A new dispensation when God will keep every covenant

00:06:50.019 --> 00:06:55.540
that he has ever made with Abraham and his seed.

00:06:57.819 --> 00:07:05.000
Get it? These are most important days. I advise

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.399
you to get your Bible out. I advise you as we

00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:12.560
study the Word of God, read with me very carefully.

00:07:13.180 --> 00:07:15.399
For a fool is the man or the woman who will take

00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.139
issue with the word of God. And I want to say

00:07:19.139 --> 00:07:22.060
something just now because it is all important.

00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.220
Turn, if you will, please, to the 21st chapter

00:07:28.220 --> 00:07:34.620
of Genesis. You may wonder why there is such

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:42.279
a line of demarcation between the Arab nations,

00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:48.519
and Israel. Why is it? I think it was one of

00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:53.540
the most amazing things of my trip, when I took

00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:58.120
that trip around the world, was when I was in

00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:05.600
Jerusalem. And many of you listening to me just

00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:09.680
now would too have been over there. This terrific

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:16.430
contrast. how primitive they are in Jerusalem.

00:08:17.230 --> 00:08:22.509
When you see them with their tents, you almost

00:08:22.509 --> 00:08:26.110
feel like you're still living way back there

00:08:26.110 --> 00:08:31.089
in the Bible days. It's so primitive. There's

00:08:31.089 --> 00:08:34.529
no progress whatsoever. You'll have to agree

00:08:34.529 --> 00:08:39.049
with me that certainly there's no blessing of

00:08:39.049 --> 00:08:45.269
the Lord upon the people. or the land and yet

00:08:45.269 --> 00:08:49.690
just crossing over a little strip of land and

00:08:49.690 --> 00:08:56.370
you come into israel all miles of wonderful orange

00:08:56.370 --> 00:09:01.809
groves you feel as though you have just crossed

00:09:01.809 --> 00:09:06.110
from a land of famine into a world of prosperity

00:09:06.909 --> 00:09:10.090
And you see God's wonderful blessing. You see

00:09:10.090 --> 00:09:14.909
the progress. Modern to the very degree. It's

00:09:14.909 --> 00:09:21.049
amazing. And yet somebody says, in reality, they

00:09:21.049 --> 00:09:27.950
are really all Jews. In reality, they're cousins.

00:09:29.230 --> 00:09:33.649
Sure. What makes the difference? Remember something.

00:09:34.539 --> 00:09:41.019
And that is the fact that when God gave His promise

00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:47.600
and made His covenant, this covenant of blessing,

00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:55.740
of prosperity, of security, He made it to Abraham

00:09:55.740 --> 00:10:02.899
and his seed. See something. The 21st chapter

00:10:02.899 --> 00:10:07.039
of Genesis. this began with the ninth verse and

00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:15.159
sarah saw the son of hagar the egyptian which

00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:20.860
she had borne unto abraham mocking wherefore

00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:24.860
she said unto abraham cast out this bondwoman

00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:30.490
and her son For the son of this bondwoman shall

00:10:30.490 --> 00:10:37.309
not be heir with my son, even with Jacob. You

00:10:37.309 --> 00:10:39.669
didn't know that was there, did you? Mm -hmm.

00:10:41.789 --> 00:10:44.610
And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's

00:10:44.610 --> 00:10:48.470
sight because of his son. And God said unto Abraham,

00:10:48.850 --> 00:10:52.049
Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of

00:10:52.049 --> 00:10:56.539
the lad and because of thy bondwoman. In all

00:10:56.539 --> 00:11:00.340
that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto

00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:08.019
her voice. For in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.200
And also the son of the bondwoman will I make

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:20.220
a nation, because he is thy seed. But the covenant

00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:23.940
and the blessing and the promise of prosperity

00:11:25.389 --> 00:11:31.730
was to Abraham, Isaac, and their seed. Uh -huh.

00:11:31.830 --> 00:11:34.169
You didn't know that it was there. All right.

00:11:34.389 --> 00:11:37.370
Just in case someone might say there's error

00:11:37.370 --> 00:11:39.570
in it, turn to the New Testament. I told you

00:11:39.570 --> 00:11:42.269
a long time ago that the two fit in perfectly.

00:11:43.549 --> 00:11:46.370
That's the reason one only shows his ignorance

00:11:46.370 --> 00:11:50.009
when he says that there's any discrepancy whatsoever

00:11:50.009 --> 00:11:56.279
in the Word of God. They are one. Not two books.

00:11:56.460 --> 00:12:02.000
One will coincide perfectly with the other. In

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.840
the New Testament, the fourth chapter of Galatians,

00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:15.620
that 28th verse, Now we, brethren, as Isaac was,

00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:21.179
are the children of the promise. Who were the

00:12:21.179 --> 00:12:26.850
children of the promise? Abraham. Isaac, their

00:12:26.850 --> 00:12:31.049
seed, they are the children of promise. But as

00:12:31.049 --> 00:12:35.929
then, he that was born at the flesh persecuteth

00:12:35.929 --> 00:12:38.350
him that was born at the spirit, even so it is

00:12:38.350 --> 00:12:42.929
now. Nevertheless, what saith the scripture is

00:12:42.929 --> 00:12:45.629
in the form of a question, and here it's answered.

00:12:46.529 --> 00:12:50.509
Cast out the bondwoman and her son. for the son

00:12:50.509 --> 00:12:57.009
of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son

00:12:57.009 --> 00:13:02.309
of the free woman and that's the reason that

00:13:02.309 --> 00:13:07.210
the arab nations and israel have been at war

00:13:07.210 --> 00:13:13.929
constantly and will continue they will never

00:13:13.929 --> 00:13:20.879
down to the very In stretch. They will never

00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:27.100
be one. They will always be enemies. They'll

00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:33.120
fight to the very last ditch. Mm -hmm. Because

00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:40.659
the heirs of God's promise, God's covenant, are

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:45.080
Jacob, Isaac, and their seed. Isn't that amazing?

00:13:46.669 --> 00:13:48.909
Oh, my goodness of life, you haven't opened your

00:13:48.909 --> 00:13:53.870
Bible for years. And all of these things are

00:13:53.870 --> 00:13:55.870
being fulfilled before our very eyes. They're

00:13:55.870 --> 00:14:02.029
taking place now. Again, I repeat to you, the

00:14:02.029 --> 00:14:05.190
day has come when literally you can take the

00:14:05.190 --> 00:14:08.169
Bible in one hand, you can take the front page

00:14:08.169 --> 00:14:12.669
of your newspaper in the other, and one will

00:14:12.669 --> 00:14:16.200
coincide with the other. Only your Bible is more

00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:23.139
up -to -date. And believe me, you can be more

00:14:23.139 --> 00:14:26.759
sure of the truth of the word when you read the

00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.960
Bible than when you are reading the front page

00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:34.940
of a newspaper. Well, sir, you know, isn't this

00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:38.320
thrilling? If this doesn't do something to you,

00:14:38.419 --> 00:14:41.460
there's something wrong with you. you might just

00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:44.340
as well find the nearest morgue and lie down

00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:48.500
on a slab and say, I'm dead and don't know it.

00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:54.879
You know, someone has said that these four chapters

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.399
in Ezekiel, the 36th and including the 39th chapters,

00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.320
present a great moving picture of Israel. The

00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.539
past, the present, and the future. And it's true.

00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:08.679
If you want a true picture of Israel, her present,

00:15:10.029 --> 00:15:14.990
Her past, her future, it's all there. Ezekiel,

00:15:14.990 --> 00:15:18.690
I know you haven't read it for so many years,

00:15:18.750 --> 00:15:22.529
you felt as though it was dead. It's going to

00:15:22.529 --> 00:15:28.049
be sort of like the Dead Sea, you know. And why

00:15:28.049 --> 00:15:30.610
in the world they ever call it the Dead Sea when

00:15:30.610 --> 00:15:32.149
we are going to wake up one of these days to

00:15:32.149 --> 00:15:36.490
find out that literally there is more potential

00:15:36.490 --> 00:15:41.879
wealth in the... Dead sea. Then all the wealth

00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.879
of the world combined. And that didn't just happen

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.019
either. That too was a part of God's great plan

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:50.879
for Israel and the end of this dispensation.

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:57.259
Israel's past. Disobedient to God. Full of idolatry.

00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:04.259
But even with all of that, they were God's chosen

00:16:04.259 --> 00:16:09.240
earthly people. And I must say, They are an earthly

00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:15.379
people. I must add very quickly that a Jew must

00:16:15.379 --> 00:16:20.720
accept Jesus Christ as his true Messiah. He must

00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:25.440
accept him in the forgiveness of his sins. He

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:29.580
must accept him as Savior and Redeemer to be

00:16:29.580 --> 00:16:33.200
saved. Always, whenever you think of Israel,

00:16:33.259 --> 00:16:35.539
whenever you think of the Jew, it's always in

00:16:35.539 --> 00:16:39.269
the light of God's... earthly people. All of

00:16:39.269 --> 00:16:42.830
his covenants to Israel were earthly covenants.

00:16:44.149 --> 00:16:48.029
But a Jew must accept Christ in exactly the same

00:16:48.029 --> 00:16:52.769
way as a Gentile. In that light, we are all one.

00:16:52.809 --> 00:16:57.149
There is neither Jew nor Gentile. I hope I made

00:16:57.149 --> 00:17:02.370
that very clear. But as an earthly people, have

00:17:02.370 --> 00:17:06.670
you ever noticed that any nation Through all

00:17:06.670 --> 00:17:12.029
of the Jews' wonderings, any nation that persecuted

00:17:12.029 --> 00:17:19.549
the Jews, there was always some chastisement

00:17:19.549 --> 00:17:22.690
that came from God upon that nation. God always

00:17:22.690 --> 00:17:26.009
lifted a blessing. But any nation who ever honored

00:17:26.009 --> 00:17:28.450
the Jew, that's the reason I think that in a

00:17:28.450 --> 00:17:31.849
very special way, God has... honored the United

00:17:31.849 --> 00:17:34.349
States of America because the Jews have found

00:17:34.349 --> 00:17:41.130
refuge here. We've taken them in. And they know

00:17:41.130 --> 00:17:45.049
that they have a refuge. They have never been

00:17:45.049 --> 00:17:49.730
persecuted here in the United States. Our government

00:17:49.730 --> 00:17:55.029
has never, never, they have been accepted. They

00:17:55.029 --> 00:17:58.690
have known no persecution here whatsoever. And

00:17:58.690 --> 00:18:01.369
I believe that that is one reason why God has

00:18:01.369 --> 00:18:05.289
blessed us as a nation. And I don't care what

00:18:05.289 --> 00:18:10.410
you think about the United States. I can tell

00:18:10.410 --> 00:18:15.089
you right now, of all nations in the world, I

00:18:15.089 --> 00:18:21.670
think we have been blessed most when it comes

00:18:21.670 --> 00:18:28.269
to God's rich blessings. He's protected us. We've

00:18:28.269 --> 00:18:33.069
never lost a war. Never. And we can fight among

00:18:33.069 --> 00:18:39.950
ourselves always. The fighting within is kind

00:18:39.950 --> 00:18:44.950
of like a big family, you know. When the brothers

00:18:44.950 --> 00:18:48.369
and sisters and her two brothers and two sisters,

00:18:48.430 --> 00:18:51.210
they can just practically kill each other. But

00:18:51.210 --> 00:18:53.950
I'll tell you right now, don't you let the neighbor's

00:18:53.950 --> 00:18:58.240
kids come in. and pick on your little brother

00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:02.119
or pick on your sister. You can fight among yourselves,

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:04.599
but I'll tell you right now, at the drop of a

00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:06.680
hat, you're right there to protect your brother

00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.339
and sister, and it's the same with our nation.

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.799
We can have our troubles internally among ourselves,

00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:20.119
but we stand as one when an outsider comes in

00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.759
and picks on us. The whole picture changes and

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:25.660
it's going to be like that to the very end. Well,

00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:33.500
sir. And again, I say that when judgment, when

00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:39.940
chastisement is to be given to his chosen people,

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:44.859
the Jew, God is going to do it himself. He does

00:19:44.859 --> 00:19:51.839
not give it to Hitler. He has not given it to

00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.799
any world leader. He will not give it to another

00:19:55.799 --> 00:20:02.180
nation. He has reserved that unto himself. And

00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:07.140
it's like that. Well, sir, oh, I don't know why

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:10.720
I get so thrilled. Because I see this whole thing

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:15.799
taking shape. And the whole thing happening before

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:20.940
our very eyes. Today, now, quickly. It's all

00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:27.440
coming to a head right now. All right. Read,

00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:29.759
if you will, please, about the... I won't have

00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:31.980
time to read it all to you. That's the reason.

00:20:32.059 --> 00:20:37.240
Be sure you read the Bible regarding everything

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.099
that I give you. If you can't remember anything

00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:44.329
else, it's the 36th chapter of Ezekiel. especially

00:20:44.329 --> 00:20:48.650
the first 23 verses. And you'll see how God reminds

00:20:48.650 --> 00:20:56.069
Israel of her chastisement for her sin against

00:20:56.069 --> 00:21:00.130
God. Let me just read this part. This is from

00:21:00.130 --> 00:21:06.250
the Bible. The enemy hath said against you, Aha,

00:21:06.549 --> 00:21:11.490
even the ancient high places are ours in possession.

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.200
They have made you desolate and infamy of the

00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:21.099
people, a prey and derision. Ye have borne the

00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:25.339
shame of the heathen. Heathen in all of these

00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:28.960
verses means nations. When the house of Israel

00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:33.579
dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their

00:21:33.579 --> 00:21:38.279
own way and by their doings. Wherefore, I...

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:42.460
poured out my fury upon them for the blood that

00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:45.819
they had shed upon the land and for their idols

00:21:45.819 --> 00:21:49.420
wherewith they had polluted it and i scattered

00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:51.880
them among the heathen and they were dispersed

00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.619
through the countries according to their way

00:21:54.619 --> 00:21:58.779
and according to their doings i judged them and

00:21:58.779 --> 00:22:01.680
when they entered unto the heathen where they

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:08.650
went they profaned my holy name all My goodness

00:22:08.650 --> 00:22:13.930
alive. Listen to what God is saying regarding

00:22:13.930 --> 00:22:17.049
Israel. At least three times in this passage,

00:22:17.089 --> 00:22:19.890
God says that Israel profaned his holy name.

00:22:21.210 --> 00:22:25.609
Furthermore, God reminds his people that for

00:22:25.609 --> 00:22:32.049
his own holy name's sake, he will restore Israel.

00:22:32.250 --> 00:22:37.500
That the nations may know that he... Is the Lord.

00:22:38.019 --> 00:22:41.400
And he did exactly that. To think that you and

00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:46.980
I. Were so privileged. That we are living. In

00:22:46.980 --> 00:22:53.200
the very generation. The very day. I was living.

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:57.160
When this part of prophecy. Was fulfilled. Way

00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:00.660
back there. The Holy Spirit. Spoke through Ezekiel.

00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:08.740
And we have. God's promise. to Israel that they

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:16.359
would be established again as a nation. Think

00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:20.160
of the years that have come and gone since this

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.140
covenant was made. And to think that you and

00:23:22.140 --> 00:23:26.420
I were living in the very generation, the very

00:23:26.420 --> 00:23:34.880
year when Israel was restored as a nation. And

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:39.740
that Every nation except Russia, at the time

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:43.059
that it was established as a nation, acknowledged

00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:49.059
it as a nation. For hundreds of years, Israel

00:23:49.059 --> 00:23:51.299
had tried the patience of her long -suffering

00:23:51.299 --> 00:23:53.779
and tender God before he scattered that nation

00:23:53.779 --> 00:23:59.000
throughout the world. Hundreds of years, he was

00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:01.960
patient with Israel. He was long -suffering with

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:05.529
his people. Read the books of Moses. Read from

00:24:05.529 --> 00:24:08.910
Genesis through Deuteronomy. See the many failures,

00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:12.230
the murmurings of the people, even while God

00:24:12.230 --> 00:24:15.569
was leading them from Egypt to Canaan with a

00:24:15.569 --> 00:24:18.849
wonderful mighty hand leading them. Read the

00:24:18.849 --> 00:24:24.690
book of Judges to see the apostasies, the punishments

00:24:24.690 --> 00:24:27.529
sent by Jehovah in order to turn his people from

00:24:27.529 --> 00:24:30.069
their backslidings. Remember the times almost

00:24:30.069 --> 00:24:34.579
without number when the kings... Both Judah and

00:24:34.579 --> 00:24:37.960
Israel did that which was evil in the sight of

00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.160
the Lord. I tell you, my friends, the mercy,

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.759
the long -suffering of Israel's God, our God,

00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:50.380
too, caused us to marvel. But apostasy followed

00:24:50.380 --> 00:24:54.880
apostasy. Rebellion followed rebellion until

00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:57.539
finally God scattered Israel among all the nations

00:24:57.539 --> 00:25:02.359
under the heavens. You'll find Jews until recently.

00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:08.539
in every nation under the heaven. And for more

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:15.519
than 19 weary centuries, the Jew has trodden

00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:19.940
from pillar to post, finding no rest for the

00:25:19.940 --> 00:25:24.920
sole of his feet, until truly he was literally

00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:31.710
the wandering Jew. No country was his home. Yet

00:25:31.710 --> 00:25:36.349
he was found in every land. Until in this very

00:25:36.349 --> 00:25:42.990
day in which you and I live, we saw the establishment

00:25:42.990 --> 00:25:50.509
of the Jew as a nation, Israel. I say without

00:25:50.509 --> 00:25:52.230
fear of contradiction, and before I finish these

00:25:52.230 --> 00:25:56.750
heart -to -heart talks, Russia sealed her doom,

00:25:56.950 --> 00:26:04.009
and any nation... will seal its doom if they

00:26:04.009 --> 00:26:09.730
try to take Israel. For Israel has God's blessing

00:26:09.730 --> 00:26:13.089
and God's protection.
