The Nation of Israel has not been replaced!

Over the years, I have heard various ministries promote Replacement Theology, yet FATHER has made it abundantly clear that HE will ultimately restore the Nation of Israel.  FATHER will judge Israel separate from the church.  Israel is a special people set apart by GOD and though they have been disobedient and unfaithful many times in the past, GOD has never finally rejected them.  There has always been a remnant who have not forgotten who they are to worship.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Leviticus chapter 26:

40 ‘But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me,

41 and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt-

42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land. 43 The land also shall be left empty by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; they will accept their guilt, because they despised My judgments and because their soul abhorred My statutes.

44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor shall I abhor them, to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.

45 But for their sake I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.'”

GOD made a covenant with Abraham which will not be forgotten.  HE set aside the land of Israel and specifically Jerusalem for the Israelites.  For thousands of years, this piece of land has been the one place in the world where contention exists.  Why?  The adversary understands its importance to the Abrahamic Covenant.

Ultimately, GOD will not reject HIS people nor break HIS Covenant with Abraham!  In the end, the NAME of THE LORD will be glorified.  HE is not slack in HIS promises.

GOD blesses the Jews direct, but HE blesses the Gentiles through the Jews.  Every spiritual blessing we have ever received, we owe to the Jewish people.  The New Testament was written by Jews, not Gentiles… think about it.

Jesus encountered the woman of Samaria in John chapter 4.

21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and Truth.” 25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”

26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.“

Jesus did not substitute the Gentiles for the Jews in the Abrahamic Covenant.  FATHER’S Word will not fail.  GOD expects us to recognize this Truth and act accordingly.  There is much antisemitism today and that is an unwise position to take.

When it comes to judgment, GOD judges the Gentiles direct, HE judges the Jews through the Gentiles.  GOD has consistently used the Gentile nations to judge the Jews throughout the centuries for their disobedience and their unfaithfulness.

The next judgment is going to be the judgment of Israel in the great tribulation.

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah chapter 30:

3 For behold, the days are coming,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'”

4 Now these are the Words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.

5 “For thus says the LORD: ‘We have heard a Voice of trembling, Of fear, and not of peace.

6 Ask now, and see, Whether a man is ever in labor with child? So why do I see every man with his hands on his loins Like a woman in labor, And all faces turned pale?

7 Alas! For that day is great, So that none is like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, But he shall be saved out of it.

8 ‘For it shall come to pass in that day,’ Says the LORD of hosts, ‘That I will break his yoke from your neck, And will burst your bonds; Foreigners shall no more enslave them.

At the end of their tribulation, their judgment will have taken place.  Meanwhile, the ekklesia will be in Heaven, being prepared by removing spot and wrinkle to become the Bride of Christ.

As for the rest of the nations, it is written by THE SPIRIT in Joel chapter 3:

1 “For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,

2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.

GOD gave the land to Israel and no human authority or government has any right whatsoever, to divide up the land for themselves.  In 1922, Britain allocated 76% of GOD’S land to an Arab nation which is now called Jordan.

There will be those who will experience weeping and gnashing of teeth!

Do not be an unprofitable servant.  If you do, you will experience weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 8:

5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,

6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a Word, and my servant will be healed.

9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.

12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Those sons of the kingdom were Israelites, and they had the opportunity for salvation and never availed themselves to it.  Salvation was right in front of them, yet they rejected Christ.  They were banished into the darkness.

Jesus explained the parable of the wheat and the tares in Matthew chapter 13:

37 Jesus answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the Sons of the Kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.

39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Once again, each of us has the opportunity to practice either righteousness or lawlessness.  It is our decision to where we end up.  An unprofitable servant is slothful, useless, and worthless to the Kingdom.  At a minimum, he could have invested something into The Kingdom, whether money or service.  He did neither.  His soulish and fleshly desires focused on “self” rather than on serving others.  The long-term result will be in the category of people who are weeping and gnashing of teeth in anguish.

People in this category will have been close to the real thing yet they chose to go their own way apart from THE LORD.  They had every opportunity to get into The Kingdom of GOD but refused.  There will be the tremendous bitterness of saying, “I could have been in this.  I had the opportunity all the time, but I never availed myself of it.  Now I’m cast out forever into outer darkness!”

Even if you were only given one talent, you should do and invest according to your own ability.  Doing nothing is no excuse.  At a minimum, you should invest and become a partner in a fruitful ministry.  At least then, you will be gaining interest on your investment which is the bare minimum acceptable to Jesus.

Nothing is hidden from Our Heavenly Father!

The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY has perfect knowledge of every aspect of our life, both internal and external, past, present, and future.

King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 139:

1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.

3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.

5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your Hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.

It is incomprehensible for me to understand the fullness of the above revelation.  We try to assign our limited comprehension to the Supernatural and it is simply soulish to do so.  It is absurd, futile, and nonsense to even hide any aspect of my life from FATHER.

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your Presence?

8 If I ascend into Heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

10 Even there Your Hand shall lead me, And Your Right Hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” Even the night shall be light about me;

12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.

14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your Eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

FATHER is the ONE WHO formed us in the womb thus HE knows every aspect of our physiology.  HE is able to repair, restore, and create anew everything in our body.  Jesus did many and mighty miracles to attest to this reality.

Who else is qualified to judge us but FATHER, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit?  No one else knows the entirety of our lives.

Jesus warned us about judging in Matthew chapter 7:

1 “Judge not, that you be not judged.

2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Resist the temptation to judge others.  Keep silent unless The Holy Spirit gives you a specific Word to speak.  He knows the intent of the person before you.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit what he saw and heard in Revelation chapter 20:

11 Then I saw a great, dazzling-white Throne and the One who sits on it. Heaven and earth fled from His Presence and they were no more.

12 I saw the dead, the lowly and the famous alike, standing before the throne. Books were opened, and then another book was opened: the Book of Life. The dead were judged by what they had done as recorded in the books.

13 And the sea gave up the dead souls that were in it. Then death and the underworld gave up their dead, and all were judged according to what they had done.

14 Then death and the realm of the dead were cast into the lake of fire, for the lake of fire is the second death.

15 And anyone whose name was not recorded in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

Though we cannot comprehend the magnitude of FATHER’S judgment of all mankind, let us focus on what we can comprehend: Be Holy as HE is Holy and repent of any and all sin.  Do the commands of Jesus and walk in humility.  In the end, you will receive your reward for nothing is hidden or overlooked by FATHER!

Where will you end up when you come face to face with Jesus as Your Judge?

John testified and recorded what he saw by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 1:

17 And when I saw Jesus, I fell at His Feet as dead. But He laid His Right Hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

John is the same disciple who spent 3 ½ years with Jesus during His earthly ministry.  He was one of the inner circle of disciples.  He lay on Jesus’ chest at the Last Supper yet when John encountered Jesus as The Judge, he fell to His Feet as dead.

Luke recorded a similar event as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a Light shone around him from Heaven.

4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a Voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a Voice but seeing no one.

8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.

9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Both Paul and John responded in the exact same way… they both ate dirt!  Do you think you would be able to respond differently?

King David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 110:

1 The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My Right Hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”

2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!

3 Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your power; In the beauties of Holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth.

4 The LORD has sworn And will not relent, “You are a Priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.” (who are both kings and priests)

5 The Lord is at Your Right Hand; He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath.

6 He shall judge among the nations, He shall fill the places with dead bodies, He shall execute the heads of many countries.

7 He shall drink of the brook by the wayside; Therefore He shall lift up the head.

Paul went into detail concerning Jesus’ position at the Right Hand of FATHER as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power

20 that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm!

GOD THE FATHER by HIS Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the Heavenly places,

21 And now He is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age, but in the age that is coming!

22 And He alone is the Leader and source of everything needed in the church. God has put everything beneath the authority of Jesus Christ and has given Him the highest rank above all others.

Jesus sits at the Right Hand of THE FATHER and has complete power and authority over all, without exception.  We can walk in the reverential Fear of THE LORD now or sadly wait until we are at the Judgement Seat of Christ.  I suggest that you don’t delay.  If you haven’t been walking is such reverence, repent!
