Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And Jesus said, unto them, I am the bread of life.
He that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he
that believeth on me shall never thirst. John six thirty five. Lord,
you are the bread of life and the living water.
You satisfy my deepest needs and fulfill my heart felt longings.

(00:26):
I am renewed and refreshed daily. You nourish me with
your word and provide for all my needs. You are
preparing me to rule and reign with you through eternity.
You are teaching me about your wisdom and justice. Your
justice is without corruption or bias. You are teaching me

(00:49):
to see from your perspective the spiritual battle this world
is facing. It is only through love that we will
triumph over the evil an injustice in this life. Teach
me to love like you, Lord. Thank you for your
goodness and mercy.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Amen.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Thank you for listening to today's daily prayer. For more
inspiration and an incredible message from our feature pastor, stay
tuned to pray dot COM's Sunday service.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And Amen, and I have something interesting for you today.
I believe you're going to appreciate what the Spirit delivers
to you through me, and we'll begin with this fact

(02:01):
that I mentioned during prayer that today is globally across
the Body of Christ, the day of prayer for the
peace of Jerusalem. Now, how many of you know that
Israel's been into some things lately, and we're gonna talk

(02:23):
about that, but we're gonna talk about God's covenant as well.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, a bath uh.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
He has not forgotten his people. I believe this will
be a blessing to both jew and Gentile. Let's begin
with this. We are in what is known as the

(02:50):
ten Days of Awe or the High Holy Days. Some
of you may know the Jewish New Year began. Was
that was that Wednesday Rashashana as it's commonly known, But
in the Bible Yam Tarua the day of shouting or

(03:13):
the day of blasting. The blasting of the trumpets, and
the blasting of trumpets could mean a number of things.
Sometimes the trumpets would would blast the the the military.
Uh not just in Israel, even Gentile nations. The the
trumpet would be woul would blast to let you know

(03:33):
they're coming. There would also be a a blasting of
the trumpet to to to highlight a victory. There are
a number of reasons why trumpets would be blasted, why
there would be shouting, and and and the ten days
of all begins with Yam Tarua, the day of of blasting,
and ends with Eam Kapoor. You've probably heard of Eam Kapoor,

(03:57):
the day of atonement. And we know in Christ we
have something even better than atonement. It's redemption. Praise God
that not only do we have a covering, but a
doing away. Our sins are not covered, but they're done

(04:19):
away with as a result of the redemptive work of Jesus.
But there is still atonement in our salvation package. Thank
God for that. But what does all of this mean?
Rakshashana means head of the year, which means it's the

(04:40):
Jewish New Year. The fact that it means day of
shouting or blasting is why its symbol is the show
far or the ram's horn. As I just mentioned, it's
the first of the Jewish high holy days known as
Yamm Noraim or the days of Awe. It's again ten

(05:02):
days beginning with Yamtarua, ending with Yam Kapoor meaning Yam
Kapoor is the tenth day of the seventh month. It's
the day of atonement, so atonement as well as repentance
are major themes for the day. The day is observed
by Jews by fasting, praying, attending synagogue for twenty five

(05:23):
plus hours. The day is also known as the Sabbath
of Sabbots. As a matter of fact, both Yamtarua and
Yam kapoor are are two of the high Sabbaths that
we read about in scripture. High Sabbaths. It is also
said to be the anniversary of the creation of Adam

(05:46):
and Eve. Go to Leviticus twenty three, chapter twenty three
and find verse twenty three. Leviticus twenty three, twenty Leviticus,
Everyone's favorite book of the Bible, good old Leviticus. I

(06:07):
love Leviticus, Leviticus twenty three, fine, verse twenty three. So
we can read about this day, this time, this moment.
If you have it, say I have it all right.
Leviticus twenty three. Twenty three says, Then the Lord spoke
to who, saying, speak to who, all right? So we

(06:31):
know who the Lord was talking to. Specifically, the Lord
spoke to Moses, saying, speak to the children of Israel, saying,
in the seventh month, on the first day of the month,
you shall have a sabbath rest, a memorial of blowing
of trumpets, a holy convocation of coming together, a meeting,

(06:56):
and a reading. You shall what do no customary work
on it, and you shall offer an offering made by
fire to the Lord. Now, in our modern era, I
haven't seen any Jews make an offering by fire. Verse
twenty six goes into yam Kapur, and the Lord spoke

(07:17):
to Moses, saying, also, the tenth day of the seventh
month shall be the day of atonement. It shall be
a holy convocation, a gathering, a meeting, and a reading.
For you. You shall afflict your souls and offer an
offering made by fire to the Lord. And you shall
do no work on that same day, For it is

(07:39):
the day of atonement. To make atonement to you before
the Lord, your God. For any person who is not
afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut
off from his people. And any person who does any
work on that same day, that person I will destroy
from among his people. Oh, that's rough. We do no

(08:00):
manner of work. It shall be a statute forever throughout
your generations and all your dwellings. It shall be to
you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict
your souls on the ninth day of the month at evening,
from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath again.
Who was the Lord speaking to Moses? And the Lord
told Moses to speak to who? The children of Israel?

(08:24):
How many of you know that everything we just read
has been fulfilled in our Messiah, finished in our Messiah.
In other words, the requirement and the obligation has been
done away with. Now today, as believers in the Lord,
especially Jewish believers in the Lord, we can celebrate Yamtarua

(08:47):
and Yam kapoor by choice, not by requirement. In other words,
if we don't, we don't have to be concerned about
being cut off from God. Because again, in actuality, Jesus
is our Yam Tarua and our Yam Kapoor, and he
is every other holy day and holy feasts. It is finished,

(09:12):
all requirements met. We rest in Him, and there's a
freedom there. There's a freedom to be able to celebrate
something by choice as opposed to obligation and requirement, where
if we do not do it, we'll be cut off
from our people and destroyed. Okay, Now, when you think

(09:38):
New Year you think the beginning of the year, don't you.
When we celebrate our new year, we celebrated on the
first day of the first month of the year. Well,
it's interesting that this is considered the Jewish new year,
and yet we read about the seventh month. Seventh doesn't

(10:00):
quite sound like new or first. But if you have
a little bit of biblical knowledge, you know that seven
is a very unique biblical number, don't you. Now here's
something else that we learn when you study out the
Jewish year. You understand that they have two calendars. One
calendar is the festival or ecclesiastical calendar, and the other

(10:25):
is the civil calendar. Now, in the civil calendar, the
seventh month is the first month, and the first month
is the seventh month. I want to read you something
here in Exodus. Go to Exodus twelve. Exodus twelve, fine,
Verse one. I have a lot to share with you today.

(10:54):
I guess I should stop saying that because I have
a lot to share with you every week, don't I.
But because this is a very unique day and I'm
not doing a series, I have a lot to share
with you, and I have to get it all out.
We already know. First Sunday is the long Sunday. So
put your seatbelts on, okay. Exodus twelve, verse one. Look

(11:15):
at this, It says, Now the Lord spoke to who
and to Aaron. We read a lot about this, don't we.
The Lord speaking to Moses at the time, the leader
of the congregation of the children of Israel. So God
goes to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt.
And what does he say. He says, this month shall
be what your beginning of months. It shall be what

(11:41):
the first month of the year to you. He didn't
say it would be the first month of the year.
He said it would be the first month of the
year to you, Moses, Aaron, and Israel. Now what we're
reading this sounds like the beginning of the year, doesn't it.

(12:01):
This month shall be your beginning of months. It shall
be the first month of the year to you. That
sounds like Rasha shana to me. But this is not
talking about that. This is talking about the month of Nissan.
This is when we celebrate resurrection, This is when Passover
is celebrated, and Nissan is the first month of the

(12:23):
festival Jewish year, but it is the seventh month of
the civil Jewish year. What we read about in Leviticus
twenty three, the seventh month of the festival year, which
is the first month of the civil year, is the
month tissery. Now in numbers, we don't have to go there.

(12:45):
You can read this on your own. Numbers chapter twenty nine,
verses one through eleven, we read about both of these
days and the specifics of the offering that God required
of Israel during this time, the specifics of the And again,
no one's doing that today, even practicing Jews aren't making
that kind of sacrifice laid out in numbers twenty nine,

(13:07):
verses one through eleven. Nevertheless, in Leviticus twenty three and
numbers twenty nine we read about Yontarua and yam Kapoor,
the day of blasting and the day of atonement. Now
I want you to see something in the New Testament
that I believe coincides with the day of blasting Rashashana Yontarua.

(13:31):
Look at First Corinthians, chapter fifteen. Go to verse fifty two.
First Corinthians, fifteen fifty two. How many of you know
that the coming of the Lord is a day and
hour in which we do not know as a matter
of fact, what did Jesus say. Only my father in

(13:52):
heaven knows. That is the coming, the parosia of the Lord.
That's the very end, when he comes with his as
he comes with angels, He comes with his armies to
decimate the armies of the beast. But before that, the
church must be raptured, and that will happen during something

(14:12):
known as the appearing of the Lord, the epiphania, and
we read about it here in First Corinthians fifteen. Now,
before we read this verse, we're gonna read one verse
in First Corinthians fifteen, and one verse in First Thessalonians,
chapter four. I want to ask you a question. First,

(14:34):
you might need to brush up on your revelation, the
Book of Revelation, just the tiny bit. But how many
of you may be recall in your reading, maybe in
listening to one teaching on eschatology, on the Book of Revelation,
how many of you recall reading something about seven trumpets
that'll be blown just by show of hands. And okay,

(14:56):
all right, we're gonna read something that has nothing to
do with those seven trumpets right here, First Corinthians fifteen.
Just look at this one, first verse fifty two. We're
just gonna read this one verse here. It says, in
a moment, in the twinkling of an eye at the last,
what trumpet. Now, when you read last trumpet, you might think, oh,

(15:18):
this must mean trumpet number seven during the tribulation period.
That's not what it's talking about, because the seven trumpets
blown during the tribulation period will be blown in the
earth realm. This is talking about the trumpet blown from heaven.
Watch this, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound and
the dead will get up. This is about the resurrection.

(15:41):
This is the trumpet blown from heaven, heralding the arrival
or appearing of the Messiah to receive his ecclasia, his church.
The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we shall all be changed. The dead will get
up first, corruption will become incorrupt. Whoever remains when the

(16:02):
Lord appears, mortal will become immortality. Look at first, Thessalonian
Paul echoes this in first Thessalonian chapter four, verse sixteen,
which reads like this, For the Lord himself will descend
from heaven. Now watch this. He's gonna descend from heaven.

(16:24):
But his feet will never touch the ground, because this
is not the coming of the Lord. When the Lord comes, Oh,
his feet touched the ground, an and and and trust me,
everyone's gonna know he showed up. But the appearing of
the Lord, well, only the Church will be aware of that,

(16:46):
and aware in this sense. We know it's going to happen.
We still don't know when it's gonna happen. The Bible
says that Jesus will manifest his appearing in his own time.
It says for the Lord himself first, That'slordans four sixteen,
will descend from heaven with the shout, with the voice
of an archangel, and with the what trumpet of God?

(17:07):
That's the one blown from heaven, and the dead in
Christ will rise first. Now we know that his feet
don't touch the ground, because although it says he descends
from heaven, later on in the chapter it says we
will meet him in the clouds. That's the rapturo, the harpazzo,
the catching up of the church. Revelation four to one,

(17:30):
come up here, that's the rapture. It's a stealth mission.
Now this trumpet that we read here and the trumpet
we read in one Corinthians fifteen. Many believe, and I
am one of them, that this coincides with Rashashana. Now

(17:51):
think about this for a second. The Bible says, we
don't know the day, but even if it coincides with Rashashana,
Yam Tarua would still fit because we don't know which
yam Tarua or which day of trumpets or day of blasting.
But know, nothing done in Scripture is by coincidence or accident.

(18:14):
God always gave previews, types and shadows in the Old
of the New, So it would make sense that this
trumpet blown in heaven signaling the appearing of the Lord,
would coincide with these days or Wednesday that just passed Rashashana,

(18:36):
the day of blasting or the day of trumpets again,
which one we don't know, which means we still don't
know the day or the hour. Are you still here? Okay?
That's Yamtarua and Yam Kapoor. But again, this day is

(18:58):
about the day of prayer for the piece of Jerusalem
said to be the center of the universe. Do you
all have a map for me of modern day Israel?

(19:18):
Modern day Israel with particular nations also visible on this
on this map, on this image. It's all its way,
thank you Saints. It's all its way. Alright. Well, we

(19:41):
don't wanna waste time. So if I'm not paying attention, y'all,
let me know. Pass it as a humongous map behind you. Alright.
So this is what we're gonna do. We'll talk about
where Israel is placed and how she's surrounded by enemies. Now,

(20:05):
many of you have gone with me. You've gone with
my father to the Holy Land, and one trip in
nineteen ninety six in particular, when we left the Holy Land,
we drove right on over to Egypt. Now, Egypt and
Israel they're not besties. There's tension there. Now where is Egypt,

(20:29):
well from Israel, it's it's southwest right there at the
northeast portion of the continent we call Africa. Sometimes you
have to remind Egyptians they're Africans. Now, if you move

(20:49):
up through the Nation of Israel north, you'll find Syria
as well as Lebanon. How many of you have heard
about the strike on Lebanon in the news as of
recent So you've got Lebanon in one location, you've got Syria.
I remember one time, Mike Angel, you would remember this best.

(21:14):
Was it the Sea of Galilee where our tour guide said,
Right there, those are the Golden Heights. Right on the
other side is Syria. Right there. Syrian and Israeli relations
have been tense for some time. We all know right
now about the relationships between Israel and Lebanon, and we

(21:37):
know about the relationships between Israel and Iran. We have
read about this in the news, We've seen it reported.
Now just think about this, Oh where's my map? Because
I want you to see again where Israel is placed
and where all these other nations are placed, and you

(21:59):
kind of have to ask yourself the question, how are
they still here? There has to be again watch this.
We're not tolerating everything Israel does. Okay, let's be clear
about that. They don't do everything right. I can respect

(22:25):
wanting to stop out terrorism. I cannot approve the killing
of innocent Palestinians. And so you can be for Israel
as well as for Palestinians having freedom and for Palestinian Jews.

(22:49):
Did you know there's Jews in Palestine and there are
Christians in Palestine. Matter of fact, watch this in Israel
and Palestine I'm gonna read you some statistics. In a
second Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran. You have Jews,
Christians and Muslims. Relationships between the three have often been tense,

(23:12):
with Muslim and Christian relationships being very strained and Muslim
and jew relationships being very strained. There have been times
where Jewish and Christian relationships were very strained. But Christians
are to never forget that we must love Israel and
pray for their peace, even if some of Israel is

(23:36):
found in christiandom no map. Huh, All right, here we go.
Check this out well, listen to this. Egypt has a
ten percent Christian population, with ninety percent of the ten
being Coptic. They even believe they're want to be first,

(23:58):
if not the first denominations. The Jews in Egypt today
number watch this anywhere from just twelve to one hundred,
with an unknown number not revealing their religious or ethnic
identity due to discrimination and other factors persecution. There are

(24:23):
synagogues in both Cairo and Alexandria. Jews have resided in
Syria since the Roman period, but today only three remain.
Oh wow. In the seventies, the Syrian Jews plight became
an international issue. The ongoing civil war in Syria has

(24:44):
caused Christian populations to decrease from ten percent to two percent.
Like the almost non existent Jewish population, the Christians in
Syria face many of the same challenges, such as attacks
on churches, because these are predominantly Islamic republics or Islamic states.

(25:08):
Christians in Lebanon watch this. Watch this. Christians in Lebanon
make up about thirty to forty six percent of the population.
The Jews, however, in Lebanon number about two hundred to
five hundred, and they are highly discriminated against. All you

(25:28):
have to do is look at what's going on between
these two nations, Israel and Lebanon, and you can see
why Israeli law enforcement considers Lebanon an enemy state. There
are about eight thousand to fifteen thousand Jews. Watch this.
In Iran, maybe more, maybe less. The conflict between Iran

(25:54):
and Israel is severe. Iran doesn't even recognize the state
of Israel. Interestingly, many of the Jews who live in
Iran feel safe, as do the Iranians who live in Israel,
albeit they are mostly Jews. Iranian Jews, or what some

(26:14):
would call Persian Jews. There are about watch this, three
hundred thousand Christians in Iran. The Iranian constitution states Christianity, Judaism,
and watch this. I didn't even know this religion still
had followers a religion known as Zoroastrianism. And I believe

(26:39):
that Zoroastrianism is still allowed in Iran because it was
born in ancient Iran. The prophet Zoraster was an Iranian prophet.
So their constitution states Christianity, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism can publicly
worship within the limits of the law. Accept Guess what,

(27:02):
unless you've converted from Islam to any one of those
three religions. Wow, then you can't worship because you've left
the predominant religion of that republic or of that state.
All right, it's okay, not a problem, not a problem. Now,

(27:24):
watch this. In Israel, Islam is the second largest religion
in Israel, behind Judaism. Christianity is at number three. Israel's
government says freedom of religion is a core tenet of
their democracy. However, it presents a problem, that problem amongst

(27:48):
Christians and Muslims, in which both religions agree in the
nation of Israel that Israel cannot be both a democracy
and a Jewish state. And why do they say that? Well, well,
if you are when I say this to you, what
do you think If I say this particular country is

(28:08):
a pure Jewish state, what do you think that means?
If I say this particular country is a fully Christian state,
what do you hear? What does that mean to you?
If I said this country over here is a Muslim state,
Islamic state, what do you hear? What do you pick
up on? Well, if it's a Jewish state, it's a

(28:30):
Jewish nation. If it's an Islamic state, it's an Islamic nation.
If it's a Christian state, it's a Christian nation. And
guess what. The concepts of democracy don't align with a
pure religious state. That's how you know this country ain't Christian.

(28:52):
No I taught on this before, you've heard me say
it before. Was there a time in which we could
say the Uited States of America was Christian? Sure, when
they were still living at home with their parents Britain.
But when they declared their independence on July fourth, seventeen

(29:13):
seventy six, they became their own person, and there was
a rebirth. Yes, and in order again, in order to
be the ideal country, you got to allow everything. If
it's truly the land of the Free and the home

(29:35):
of the brave, then any religion is supposed to be
able to come here and practice their religion and their
culture and their way of life. And it be America,
because that's what America is supposed to be. The republic
that is America, which includes democratic tenants, is the ideal
place where you can live out your dreams and be yourself. Yeah.

(30:00):
If America was a purely Christian state, you all know
what would not be allowed in this nation. All right.
So in Israel, there are Christians and Muslims who see
it as somewhat oxymoronic that Israel is both democracy and

(30:21):
Jewish state, because if they're a Jewish state, then the
nation is Jewish. You understand what I'm saying. Okay, what's
this in America? I was really only going to focus
on these surrounding countries, the ones that surrounded Israel, these
tense states that surround Israel. But I figure, well, let

(30:44):
me give you some Israel stats as well as some
American stats. Sixty three percent of Americans say they are Christian,
putting Christianity as the largest religion in America with about
two hundred million followers. However, that sixty three percent was
that ninety percent in the nineties. Ye, Now, sixty three

(31:08):
percent sounds impressive, but not too impressive when it was
ninety That is a downward trend in this nation. There
has been a great decline since then. There are about
three point five million Muslims and seven point five million
Jews practicing and recognized Jews. That is, and that's how

(31:31):
it should be in this country, because that's what this
country is supposed to be about. A Muslim should be
doesn't matter what my religious differences are. The country, what
it represents, what its constitution says, allows for Muslims to

(31:51):
freely worship here, and Jews to freely worship here, and
Christians to freely worship here, and Buddhists and Hindus and
Toes and the list goes on. Yeah, alright, well, we're
just gonna let that map go and if it ever

(32:12):
comes up, we'll work with it. Are you still here? Now?
I wanna get into the fun stuff. Israel was already
important to me, but now it is so much more.

(32:33):
And here's why. Now these images will be ready. These
images will be ready. All I gotta do is call
out the number. Okay, here we go. Let's put up
first image number nine. We put up image number nine. Lease,

(33:02):
there we go. So we have an amazing Median audio team.
By the way, this image came up quickly because I
sent them this image. So maybe I should have sent
them the map that I wanted them to show. Well,
the only reason I didn't is because you all remember
during the pandemic how many maps I was showing. Okay,

(33:22):
so I thought they'd just go in the vault and
get one. But that's okay, all right, what are we
looking at here? We are looking at Pastor Fred Price
is twenty three and me this is my twenty three
and me, what do we have here? West African fifty
four percent? What tops that list? Nigerian? Nisea's in the

(33:47):
building clearly, all right, twenty seven point five percent, it's
over a quarter Nigerian. What follows Ghanaian, Liberian and Sierra
leone and all right, and this is broadly West African
four point six percent, Conglese in South Southeast African six

(34:07):
point three and gold and CONGLESE five point eight point
five percent broadly CONGLESE in Southern East African broadly sub
Saharan African point seven percent. And then here's the white
side of me right here under. That's a high number.
Look at that thirty six point three that's right represent

(34:30):
go right ahead. I'm one quarter British. When I went
to London last year, I told every brit every breat
I ran into, I'm one quarter British. I'm one quarter British.
I'm also three percent Irish and three percent Scottish. I'm
thirty percent UK. Now some of you have done this,
you've done your twenty three, and me you've done your ancestry,
so you know what you're made up of. Little bit

(34:53):
of French in German. Our family thought we would have
more French because my my father's middle name was French
and it was daddy's daddy or daddy's granddaddy that was
a full Frenchman. Who is the daddy's grandfather was a
full blooded Frenchman, So we thought we would have had
more French. Nevertheless, this is my twenty three. In me again,

(35:15):
the highest percentage is Nigerian. Well, that kind of makes
sense matter of fact, you see how much of this
whole percentage is West African because those of us who
are descendants of slaves, well, where do we come from?
Or where did our forefathers come from? Came from West Africa?
So this makes sense. So again, you're twenty three in me.

(35:38):
If you are what the world would call a black
person living in this country who would be a descendant
of slaves, your numbers possibly look like this now, you know,
depends on your shade of brown or black. That would
determine how much European you have in you. Okay, as
you can see on what some would call high yellow
or maybe golden or so anyway, all right, words words

(36:07):
like quadroon and octoroon. We don't use words like that,
you know when you're you know, one quarter black or
one eighth black, etc.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Okay, that's a whole lot of stuff in me. That's
a whole lot of nations, a whole lot of cultures
in me. I got shim hamm in y'a fih in me,
and many of you do as well. Okay, Now again
this is my what this is my twenty three and me.
But for a while now I've been wanting to look

(36:37):
even beyond that. I've been wanting to.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Go ancient and I found it. I found it. Let's
do this now. Please put up image number three, Image
number three. All right, this is what we see here.

(37:01):
Let me read it to you. This is this is
my this is my this is my DNA that goes
beyond and before twenty three and me m and I'll
explain to you the difference in this kind of testing
and what ancestry and t S and S similar companies do.
Neolithic Southeast Africa eighty one point one percent. That makes sense,

(37:24):
except you have to consider Africa in its ancient day.
European bell Beakers says six point seven percent. I don't
know what a bell beaker is. In m most cases,
I would look up something like this, but I tell
you what. They're European. And right under that, it says

(37:45):
Israelite five percent. Right. I I wanna s I wanna
sit there for a second. This is my DNA and
it says Israelite. Right, it says Israelite. This is my DNA.
This is not theory. This is a DNA five percent. Okay,

(38:09):
Now let's look at this again. I I love Israel
always half why well, I'm called to walk in love
because God.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Is love.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
And the Bible commands us to love His, his elect
of all. But when you find out you're one of 'em.
Ay now again, let me let me, let me be
very clear. I am pro Messiah before I'm pro anything else. Okay,

(38:46):
want you to be clear about that. That comes first.
But when I look at Paul's writings, I see that
while he promotes it first and says it is of
the utmost importance, he doesn't forget his ethnicity. Mm are
you still here? Okay, here's where we're gonna look at next. Oh,
this one is this one. This one's just put up

(39:08):
image number one. This is called the fifty Regions tests.
By the way, this website is called Ancient DNA Origins
dot com. Ancient DNA Origins dot com. East Africans thirty
six percent, West Africans thirty percent. Now, if you looked

(39:28):
at my twenty three and me, my West African was
fifty four percent. But how come my ancient DNA shows
East Africa as the highest percentage because way back then,
you have to remember, there was only a North and
northeastern Africa. Matter of fact, it wasn't even called Africa.
It was the lands of Ham South Africans twelve point

(39:50):
three percent, Central Africans nine point one percent, This West,
this South, and Central Africans. I believe based on research,
they all came from Abraham. Abraham had a third wife
in Genesis twenty five. Her name was Katura, and through
her he populated the remainder of the of the continent

(40:13):
we call Africa. But look on this region's percentage. We
see we see Northwestern Asians three point two north Persians
three percent, Israelite from one point three percent. It's a
different kind of test. If you're wondering why the other
one showed five percent and this one showed a one
point three percent, it's a different kind of tests. Because
I'm about to show you something else. I'm gonna show

(40:36):
you my Hebrew percentage. Isn't that the same as Israelite?
Not in origin? Not in origin? First, I want to
show you this, all right, and please please no, I'm
not trying to make this about me. I'm I'm taking
this somewhere. Are are you all good so far? Okay?

(40:58):
Put up image numbers eight, please image number eight. Okay,
this is a very small percentage. It's only two percent,
but as you can read it, my average genetic similarity
to the tribe of Dam two percent. Next image, please

(41:20):
show image number six, Image number six from two percent
to six percent my genetic similarity to the tribe of
Zebulin or Zebulin. Next image, please show image number Let's

(41:51):
go with image number five. Image number five. From two
percent similarity to Dan, six percent similarity to Zebulin, my

(42:12):
average genetic similarity to the This is the Israelite portion
of my DNA twelve percent to the tribe of Levin.
But here's the one. Here's the one. Show image number four,
Image number four. This is the tribe that the lion

(42:35):
comes from. Now I'm showing you two images here because
what this test does is I mean, it's really detailed,
and they'll show you your similarity with certain persons that
they have found from ancient days. Some of the names

(42:56):
they just have named them because they don't know what
their names were. But I want to show you this.
It says, of my average genetic similarity to the tribe
of Judah twenty one percent, Dan two percent, Zebulin six percent,
Levi twelve percent. I believe I believe I have similarity

(43:17):
to send me in two, but I can't find that image.
But of Judah twenty one percent of the remaining tribes,
it was all less than one percent. But it says
my highest genetic similarity is with a woman by the
name of Neka from the tribe of Judah. And that's
a forty percent similarity. Okay, so I have DNA evidence

(43:43):
that I'm in Israelite. Now watch this. You think I'm
the only one in this room? All right, let's look
at this. This is the one that intrigued me the most.
Though I took another test called the Semitic test. We

(44:05):
know Israelites came from Shim, but other nations came from
Shim as well. Watch this image number I believe it's
number two. Yep, put up image number two. Oh boy, okay,
here we go. Look at this. I'm gonna start from
the bottom the low too. Say I have a one

(44:28):
point two percent and one point three percent similarity with
Ammonites and Moabites. Now, who were the Ammonites and the Moabites.
They were the children of Moab and Ben and I
where did they come from? Well, you all remember Sidam
and Tomorrow, and you all remember a Lot and his wife. Well,

(44:52):
she was addicted to the city. So she turned and
looked back and became a pillar of what But Lot
and his daughter remained. And what did his daughter say,
If we don't lay with our father, we will not
be able to preserve our genealogy. And they laid with

(45:15):
their father and produced the Moabites and the Ammonites. I
can't believe this. I'm a two point five percent descendant
of Lot. Let's take it up next. That says Hebrew
two point three percent. Now, now you may say, well,
I saw your Israelite five percent and your Israelite one

(45:36):
point three percent, and of those percentages, the similarities to
the tribe of Levi and Judah, et cetera. Well, what's
this Hebrew here? Well? Remember remember today in the modern era,
as far back as the New Testament, to be Hebrew,
Israelite or Jew was pretty much synonymous. If I was
referring to the Jews, I was referring to the Israelites.

(45:57):
If I was referring to the Israelites, I was referring
to the he Paul shows us that right. It said
salvation was for the Jew first and then the Greek. Well,
you know that Jew had to include all the tribes,
because Paul technically wasn't a Jew. He was from the
tribe of Benjamin. So you know that when he made

(46:18):
the statement. By that time in the known world, Hebrews, Israelites,
and Jews were all synonymous terms. And we have a
lot of words like that today, words that are synonymous,
but their original meanings tell us a different story. Well
way back in the beginning of time biblically speaking, that is,

(46:38):
there were Hebrews, but there were no Israelites and Jews,
because thee Israelites come from the Hebrews and Jews come
from the Israelites, working backwards in order to be a
Jew back then, and the first time we see the
word Jew in the Old Testament was attached to a
man named Mordecai. It's called Mordecai the Jew. And what

(46:58):
did it mean to be a Jew Old Testament period?
To be an you were a Yehudite from the tribe
of Judah. So if you were from Judah, you were
a Jew. If you were from Dan, you were a Danite.
If you were from Reuben, you were a Rubenite. If
you were from Benjamin you were a Benjamite. If you
were from Levi you were a Levite. You all know

(47:20):
the rest. Well, where did Judah come from? Judah came
from a man named Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel,
which means any children Israel has will be an israel light.
So all the tribes that came or sons that came
from Israel, which produced tribes were the Israelites. And what
made up the Israelites again, the Yehudites, the Levites, the Semionites,

(47:44):
the Rubenites, the dan Kites, the Noftalim, etcetera, etcetera. Okay, Okay,
working back further, because Jacob came from who Isaac, and
Isaac came from who Abraham. Well, Abraham came from a
very specific line. There's a line of Shim that genealogy
is mentioned in Genesis is eleven, Verse ten starts off

(48:05):
with Shim. Shim's son was our facts it And we
go down this list our facts. It had Salah. Actually
he had Canaan, and Canaan had Salah, and the list
goes all the way down. You get to Tera and
then you get to Abram, Nejor and Haran. Those were
his brothers. Well, there's one name that really stands out
in that genealogy. We also see it in Genesis ten

(48:27):
twenty one. Hopefully we'll have time to get there. It's
a man by the name of Eber. He's in that genealogy. Well,
Eber actually gives us Hebrew. So the man Eber, the
father of the Eberites, is actually the father of the Hebrews.
And that line would then give us Abram, who then
gives us Isaac, who gives us Jacob, who became Israel,

(48:51):
producing Israelites, who gave us Judah, who produced Jews. Fast
forward to today. Again, the terms are all considered to
be synonymous. But if you go back to the very beginning,
if you were a hebrew Man, then any child you
had was Hebrew, because that's what you are. If you're

(49:11):
a hebrew Man and a Hebrew woman and you have children,
your children and Hebrew, even if they weren't Israelite. So
let me give you some examples. Anyone ever heard of
a child by the name of Ishmael who showed up
thirteen years before Isaac. Well, who was Ishmael's daddy Abraham,
and was Abraham Hebrew? Yep, So what was Ishmael now

(49:31):
is Mama was Egyptian. So what does that mean Ishmael
was half Hebrew half Egyptian. Joseph, for example, you all
remember Joseph, whose hater aide brothers sold him into slavery
and then he prospered in Pharaoh's kingdom. Well, one day

(49:54):
Joseph said, I want me a wife, and guess where
he picked his wife from. Guess where that Israelite Hebrew
boy picked his wife from the Egyptians. He took an
Egyptian wife and had two sons, Ephraim and Manessa. So
what does that tell me about eph from in Manessa
half half Hebrew or half Israelite half Egyptian. We see

(50:18):
these minglings all throughout the scripture. It really gives us
a vivid picture of the diversity of Israel. Israel's diverse.
Israel's not one color, Israel doesn't have one set of
facial features. Put that list back up image number two.

(50:43):
Y'all still here with me? Okay? Hebrew two point three percent. Again,
the children of Eber would become the Hebrews. And the
reason why I remember everyone spoke the same language. Y'all
remember that, right? You remember what happened at the Tower
of Babbel, God confounded the languages, so they would not
understand one another's each Well, what happened all of mankind
God behind King Nimrod because he used his words in

(51:07):
a clever way. I mean, they just decided to follow old, wicked,
evil anti God Nimrod. Well, Eber said, not me and
my house, and he didn't allow his children to participate
in the building of the tower, and therefore his language
was preserved. So the language of Adam became Hebrew and Eber,

(51:27):
and then you had all these other diverse languages. For example,
what do I see above Hebrew? I'm five point six
percent Phoenician. I shared this with you. This is where
we get our alphabet from. I know you heard it
was the Greeks. They got it from these black skin
folk called Phoenicians. Just let you know. And who are
the Phoenicians? Canaanites? WHOA, I'm five point six percent Canaanite.

(51:53):
But look at that top one right there, Ethiopic. Now
now forty four percent. The total percentage here is fifty five.
I means I'm over half Semite. I'm a fifty five
percent Semite. I'm fifty five percent from the line of
shim That's that's major for me, okay, I want you

(52:19):
to see this. You see that Ethiopic. Now, when you
hear the word Ethiopic, what's the first country you think of?
And why wouldn't you think of Ethiopia? Makes all the
sense in the world. Which, by the way, who were
the Ethiopians? Well, let's go to Genesis ten six, with
your permission, May I take my time quickly? Okay, go

(52:48):
to Genesis ten six. We're gonna get the rest of
these scriptures in. I want you to see this. I
need you to see it. Genesis ten six, Okay, watch this.
It says that the sons of Ham were who cush

(53:11):
You also see miss rahim Put in Canaan, okay, which
means that these are Hamites. There are the sons of Ham.
Our European nations come from the first son mentioned Ya fifth.
That's where you get your grease, your Spain, you're Italy,
your Thracians. The list goes on. They all come from

(53:32):
Yah fifth, and then we get to Ham in verse
six and it says the sons of Ham were again
cush Put or cush miss rahim Put and who and Canaan. Well,
working from the end of the list, we know who
the Canaan Knites were we know that their land would
eventually become the land of Israel. Before that, you have Put,

(53:54):
who did Put give us? Anyone ever heard of a
nation called Libya? Okay, Put gave us the Libyans. But
back then, ancient Libya was all of North Africa west
of Egypt. So today you have in Algeria and a
Tunisia and a Morocco. All of that was Libya. And
then before that you have Misraeim which means Egypt, upper

(54:17):
and lower Egypt. And then before that you got Cush,
I got the I got the best team, got the
best team. Okay, look we're gonna DV eight four second.
I just want you to see this, Okay, can you
can you guess where Israel is on this map that's
right the center, the blue, and I just want you
to see look at this. Look at this. There's Israel

(54:39):
right there, and there's there's Lebanon and and there's Syria.
There's Iran over there with Iraq in between, and here's Egypt,
and here's Palestine in here, and my goodness, look at
look at who surrounds them, nations that they are in
diametric opposition, severe conflict with and Israel. Israel is still thriving.

(55:08):
Matter of fact, let me keep it, let me keep
it honest with you. You don't want to mess what
is reel. You don't want to mess what Israel. You
don't want to mess with us. Okay, you don't want
to You don't wanna mess with us. Okay, watch this,
go back to Genesis ten six. Look here, the sons

(55:30):
of Ham were cush. I want to focus on this
cush because from Cush you get an empire known as
the Nubian Empire, Nubia meaning black well. Cush is also
known as guess what Ethiopia. You wanna know what Ethiopia means.
I'm gonna show you what cush and Ethiopia means. Put

(55:52):
up number image number ten. Please image number ten. I
don't know if you can see all this, but i'll
I'll read it to you. This is what cush means.
Cushite descended of Cush. It means this is the wrong one. Nope,

(56:18):
you can't look at that yet. Close your eyes. Don't
look at We gotta go on the right order. Gotta
go on the right order. Okay, I'm gonna find it
for you. Here we go, let's go with let's go
with Ah. There it is eleven, image number eleven. We're
gonna look at eleven and twelve. Here we go, eleven,

(56:40):
there we go. All right. Cush okay, Cush, it says
in parentheses, or Ethiopia. Now today, if you if you
see an Ethiopian or an Eritrean, they have very unique features.
But that's not how the the first Ethiopians looked. They're Ethiopian,

(57:02):
but it's not how the original ones that came out
of the loins of Ham look. You want to know
how they look like this stage. Okay, watch this Cush.
Cush was a son of Ham. I'm gonna I'm gonna
just be straight up with you. You wanna know I'm gonna

(57:23):
straight up with you because mister James Strong in his concordance,
he was straight up with us. Cush means black. Okay,
that's what it means, which means Ethiopia means black. That's
what it means. It means black. Now here's what's interesting.
One of the first examples that we have here is

(57:44):
Psalm seven, and in Psalm seven we are introduced to
a Bingjamite who comes from Israel, who has the name Cush.
Now I'm gonna listen, let's just use a little common sense.
Ain't no way my mama is gonna name me Cush
if I don't look like I'm Cush. Cause you just, lady,

(58:06):
I don't know if you realize you just named Joe
son Black. And that was a Benjamite from the tribe
of Benjamin who came from Israel. His name was Kush.
That's number one, number two. We know he's the son
of Ham, grandson of Noah, progenitor or father of the
southernmost peoples located in specifically North Africa. The Nubian Kingdom

(58:31):
was found at the northern border of Sudan and the
southern border of Egypt. Moving to the next image, I
believe number twelve. This is the rest of the definition.
Here we go, right, the peoples who descended from Kush.
Also the land occupied by the descendants of Kush located
around the southern parts of the Nile. That's who Cush is. Now,

(58:55):
Kush is Ethiopia. I just showed you my Semitic DNA,
all Ethiopic. Well what is that? Let me give it
to you in its fullness? All right? Put up image
number eighteen. Image number eighteen. Y'all still here, okay, okay?

(59:15):
Image number So. I looked up Ethiopic and it just
said another term for geez or az. I'm like, that,
don't help me. So I said, well, I need to
look up this geeze or gez. So put up image
number nineteen. Please image number nineteen. Get as now watch this.

(59:41):
This This shows you how folk on day one were
mixing and mingling. The sons of Y'a fifth. Oh, they
definitely knew the daughters of Shim and Ham, and the
and the daughters of Shim knew the sons of Ham,
and the sons of Ham knew the daughters of Yathith,

(01:00:02):
and whole lot of it. They were really knowing each other.
Why do I say that? What's this? That first word?
Forty four percent of my Semitic makeup is Ethiopic, which
sounds like Ethiopia, which is cush, which means black, which

(01:00:22):
comes from Ham. And yet Ethiopic, which is synonymous with Geez,
is an ancient Semitic language. How can how can a
language from Ethiopia be Semitic when Ethiopia comes from Ham,
not Shim. Look at this, an ancient Semitic language of

(01:00:43):
Ethiopia and Eritrea, which survives as the liturgical language of
the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Churches. It's also called Ethiopic.
That's what this geeze is or gez.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
So so so that at some point some Kushites and
some Ethiopians got to know some Semites.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Well, it's just like the Canaanites. The Canaanites were from Ham,
but they ended up taking land that didn't belong to them.
They took the land that would go to Israel. That
land wasn't for them. But the Canaanites were then again
born from Ham. The Canaanites would become a Semitic speaking
people and adopt Semitic ways. So we're really seeing this

(01:01:36):
mix of the sons of Ham and the sons of Shim.
Now look at this. Go back to Genesis Sin. We're
almost done. Bear with me, please, we're almost We're almost there.
Look at this Genesis Sin. We already read verse six.
Let's read verse seven. Now it says the suns of

(01:02:00):
Kush were Sabah. So these are the sons of black
Black Havilai, Subtai, rah Ama, Septekah and the sons of
rah Ama were Siba. We're familiar with Sheba and Dadan.
They all came from Ham. This hobby Lah came from Ham.

(01:02:23):
I read about Hobbylai in the Garden of Eden account,
but also in Shim's line, there's a there's a hobby Lie.
And today it said that hobby Lah is Yemen, which
is south of Arabia, which would didn't be Semitic. But
I see Hobbilai and Shim and Ham just like Ethiopia
and Canaan. There's been this Hamitic and Semitic intermingling for

(01:02:46):
a long time. Look at hever said kushb got Nimrod.
We know this account. He began to be a mighty
one on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before
the Lord. Therefore it is said like Nimrod the mighty
hunter before the Lord. Again, the word nimrod has been
used incorrectly to refer to people as idiots or or stupid. Right,

(01:03:09):
you would call there there were times I don't know
if people still use it today, but there was a
time where you would call someone you thought was stupid, Oh,
you're a nimrod, yeah, and they don't realize you were
complimenting somebody. H in this sense, Nimrod was brilliant. Y
he was a brilliant black skin man. But he was
also the most wicked man in the earth at the time,
all right, So again not fully a compliment. It's why

(01:03:36):
if you go back look at your Looney Tunes cartoons
and you'll see why bugs Money always called Elmer Fudd
the hunter a Nimrod, all right. That comes from the scriptures,
cause Nimrod was the mighty hunter before the Lord. Okay,
verse ten, what's this? And the beginning of his kingdom
was Babel. We all know about Babel. Babel would become

(01:03:57):
Babel on Babylon Erec or erk a cad home of
the Acadians and Kauna in the land of Shinar biblical Mesopotamia.
And then it says from that land he went to Assyria.
This is where it gets important. Assyria comes from Asher,
who comes from shim. So again you got a Hamite

(01:04:18):
going into the land of a Semite and building his kingdom.
What does that mean? There was some mixing going on. Oh,
Wat's this he builds Nineveh, abode of Ninas or Nimrod,
rahabith Irk, Kala and Resion between NINEV and Kala. That
is the principal city. Miss Rahiem begot Ladem, and amen,

(01:04:40):
this is Egypt le Habim, not Tahim, path Rasim and
kash Leahem. This is what I want you to see.
From whom came the who look at that the Philistines,
who we know were enemies of Israel. We know the
most famous Philistine was the giant Goliath, whom David the Israelite.

(01:05:02):
The Philistines came from Egypt. Gives us an idea as
to what the Philistines look like. Okay, but then look
at verse fifteen. Canaan begot Sidon. Sidon was a wealthy
Phoenician city. His firstborn in Heaf, father of the Hittites.
And then you have all these heights right in verse

(01:05:24):
sixteen and seventeen and eighteen, and then it says to
the families of the Canaanites were dispersed. In verse nineteen
says the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon. As
you go toward gerrar of Philistine territory. As far as
what anybody ever heard of Gaza, Okay, I'll give you

(01:05:44):
a little more history. If you go to Gaza, or
if you want to see Gaza, where do you have
to go? You have to take an Israel Palestine trip,
in which we know tensions are are very severe there again,

(01:06:05):
let's ex out the terrorists. I'm all for it, but
a lot of collateral damage can't be for that. So
my prayer is for Jewish Israelites, Christian Israelites, Jewish Palestinians,
Christian Palestinians to be safe, those not Christian to hear

(01:06:27):
the Gospel so that they could be saved. We as
believers have to be for all of them simultaneously. We
can be for them but not tolerate some of the methods. Okay,
what's this? So if I want to see Gaza, well
that's where i'd have to go today. But wait a minute.
Palestine wasn't always Palestine. Palestine used to be called Philistia.

(01:06:50):
And who came from Philistia the or who built Philistia
to Philistines? That's right. So Gaza basically comes out of Egypt.
Who comes out of him? I want you to I
want to show you all of these these interminglings. Okay, now,

(01:07:11):
y'all got some patience. I mean, it's not it's not
gonna be super long. But do you have some patience
so that I don't end abruptly. Okay, look, go to
Exodus chapter two. Now, look, we're gonna do Exodus numbers,
hab A, Cook and Romans, and we'll be done. Okay, Well,
I want you to see this. I gotta end with

(01:07:32):
Romans though, because this is the day of prayer for
the peace of ye rue Chaleen. All right, look at
this Exodus chapter two, verse eleven. See, I gotta give
you all of this. Y'all know that I never I
never take a short cut. I always go the scenic
route when I teach, I have to. Now it makes

(01:07:54):
me a bit of a minority pastor and a minority teacher,
But I gotta go to scenic route because I need
you to see some stuff. Now, how many of you
know that Charleston Heston is not what Moses look like?

(01:08:15):
You know that right now, because of the racial tension
in the country at the time. I get why he
was portrayed as Moses. I get it. For the day. Yes,
it was still unacceptable because if you watch the Ten Commandments,

(01:08:35):
you'll see that black people work asked. But I get it.
You can't the main guy, the problem, though, is is
in today when the films are still being whitewashed. That's

(01:08:58):
so when Christen Bale, okay, great actor, Dark Knight, Batman
all day, but when Christian Bale is playing Moses in
our modern era, that's a shame. But let me let
me also submit this to you that they answer to
white washing is not black washing. It's not. In other words,

(01:09:23):
if history said a person was black, portrayum is black.
If history says the person was white, portray them, it's white.
And don't try to respond to the ills of white
washing by making all sorts of historical white folk black.
Don't do that. That's not better. Okay, Why am I

(01:09:44):
saying all of that, Because if you wanna know what
the Israelites look like, you can learn from what the
Egyptians look like. Exodus two eleven. It came to passing
those days when Moses was grown, and he went out
to his brethren and looked at their bird, and who
were his brethren, the Israelites, the children of his room.

(01:10:05):
And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew one of
his brethren. So he looked this way in that way,
and when he saw no one, he said I'm gonna
take them out, killed him, buried them in the sand.
And when he went out the second day, two hebrew
men were fighting, and he said to the one who
did wrong, why are you striking your companion that? He said,

(01:10:27):
who made you a prince and a judge over us?
Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? Uh? Oh,
somebody knows. So Moses feared and said, okay, I'm busted.
So when Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to
kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh
and dwelt in a particular land, a land called Midian,

(01:10:49):
and he sat down by a well. Now, the priest
of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and they
drew water and filled the truths to water their father's flock.
And the shepherds came and they drove them away. These
random shepherds came, drove them away. But Moses helped these daughters,
who were shepherdesses by the way, they were female shepherds.

(01:11:11):
He stood up, helped them watered their flock. When they
came back came back to Ruel, also known as Jethro,
their father, he said, how is it that you have
come so soon today? And what did his daughter say?
And Egyptian delivered us. Oh, you mean to tell me
that Israelite young man named Moses looked like an Egyptian.

(01:11:35):
Sit with that for a second. They thought this dark
skinned man was an Egyptian, but he wasn't Israelite. Oh
look at that. So I don't know how mister, mister, mister,

(01:11:56):
mister Chau, I don't know. And you don't be looking
like an Egyptian. So he said to his daughters, and
where is he? Why is it that you have left
the man? Call him that he may eat bread. Moses
was content to live with the man, and he gave
him Zupporah. But you probably know her better at Sephora. Alright,

(01:12:17):
anybody ever been to Sephora? No, that's Zappora. Go on
right in there and c Well you shopping at Zappora? Okay?
And so they and so they they married. Well, notice
that it says here in verse sixteen they were in Midian,
a priest of Midian. Well where did the Midianites come from?

(01:12:39):
Where they came from? Abraham and Katura Genesis twenty five
had a son named Midian that means Midian was half
Hebrew and half whatever. His mama was Katura, which many
believe may have been a Canaanite. We just know she
came out of the household of Abraham, came from his house,
so Midian was all. Let me take it a step further.

(01:13:01):
History tells us that the media Knites were as black
as Ethiopians. Right, look at Habocak chapter three. No, No
numbers twelve, Look at numbers twelve. We're gonna look at
one verse. I nor them long winded, but numbers twelve.
Look here. You all may remember the great Apostle Price

(01:13:24):
teaching on this. I'm just gonna read one verse. Look
at numbers twelve, verse one. What does it say, then,
Miriam and Aaron? What they do? What? What did the siblings?
What did the family do? They spoke against Moses because
of the Ethiopian woman he had married, for he had

(01:13:49):
married and Ethiopian woman. Maybe a little prejudice here, not
racism the way we know it today, but but cultural
ethnic prejudice. Back In other words, Moses, she's a she's
not a israel Life, she not Hebrew. Well, notice this
is his second wife. His first wife was a Median Knite,

(01:14:11):
black his second wife was an Ethiopian black. Yeah, matter
of fact. And again when I say black, I'm talking
I'm not see I'm the rumor has it I'm black.
But I'm not talking about this kind of black. Again,
I'm talking about this kind of black right here. I'm
talking about this kind of black right here, not that

(01:14:32):
kind of black. Ethiopians was looking like this. Median knites
were looking like this, and Moses clearly had an affinity.
He said, I want my women black as knight. I

(01:14:55):
want a lepida. If if you don't know what that means, Okay,
this is what I all right, look watch this. Watch this,
y'all still here, stop playing around. Here we go, here
we go. This is what I need you to see. Now,
put up image number image I think number ten. Yeah,

(01:15:21):
put up image number ten. We just looked at this, yeah,
image number ten. There it is. This is what Ethiopian
means in the Bible. Kushi kushai. Watch this Ethiopian it says,
see kashan, We're about to look at that in a second.
But it means what there their blackness. So Ethiopia means black.

(01:15:46):
To be an Ethiopian means their blackness. Now look at
this in Habacco Habacco chapter three. Y'all know where that.

Speaker 5 (01:15:57):
Is, right, Habakuk, y'all know the chapter I mean the
book where you find out that you need to write
the vision down and make it plain.

Speaker 2 (01:16:08):
That book, just not chapter two. Go to chapter three.
I want you to see one thing here, verse seven,
Habit Cook three seven. Let me know when you're there.
You're there, Okay, So before we read this scripture, let

(01:16:29):
me get my other definition. Ready, Yeah, there we go. Okay.
What does it say, Habit Cook three seven? Okay, this
is prophetic language, but it says what I saw the
tints of Kushan. That's not like cush right, but it's
not exactly cush It has to do with Watch this
in Affliction, the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

(01:16:54):
Kashan seems to be in relation to Midian. In the media,
Nites were said again to be the dark skinned Arabian
people of northwest Arabia. What does Kashan mean? Which is
affiliated with Wat's this not Ethiopia but Median? What does
it mean? Put up image number seventeen. Image number seventeen

(01:17:16):
gives Kashan, Oh, what does it mean? Their blackness means
the same thing Ethiopian means. So you have people coming
from ham that are black as night, and you have
people coming from Shim that are also black as night. Now,
now that's not how everyone turned out. Not every hammite

(01:17:40):
was as dark as an Ethiopian, not every semite was
as dark as was as dark as the Median knites.
Matter of fact, even from Yafif, the father of the
European nations, he produced some dark skinned boat. Now today
we see a broad mix of peoples, and that's because

(01:18:03):
of location. Those lived closer to the equator than some.
Some were in the Caucasus mountains for quite some time,
not receiving the amount of sun. People who live near
the equator were receiving a lot of different factors. You
also have to factor in that there was no longer

(01:18:24):
a firmament. It's just a number of things you have
to consider. Then you also have to consider the sin
nature a number of things. Okay, Now look at romans
that semitic fifty five percent Semitic DNA of your pastor

(01:18:45):
This shows a number of things. It shows that, as
it has been said, many of the slaves or descendants
of slaves were from the tribe of Judah. And it
shows that the Negroes who we call Negroes, they didn't
come from Ham, they came from him. Mm See, black

(01:19:08):
comes in in in, in, in a whole lot of shades.
You all know that, right. See we live in a
in a in a in a heated society. Let's see.
See see slavery for America was very particular. Wasn't like slavery. See,
you enslaved in ancient antiquity, You enslaved nations, that weren't you, right,

(01:19:30):
So when the Romans enslaved nations, it's cause they weren't Roman, right,
And it didn't matter if they had the same skin
color as them, right. Romans enslaved Greeks, they enslaved Egyptians,
they enslaved Persians, they enslaved the Scandinavians, the Nordic white
skinned people, they enslaved them all cause you in But

(01:19:52):
but this what what we been living in for four
hundred some years. This has been real particular and it's
oh ultimately been about black and white. But see those
are trick words, okay, because what does that really mean?
I'm black? When you say I'm black? What does that

(01:20:13):
it sounds like we're talking about something else other than
skin color, because I'm looking at a whole lot of
people in here that are supposedly black, and some of
y'all whiter than white people. But you black, your skin
looks white to me.

Speaker 6 (01:20:31):
Yeah, if you really want to have y'all.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
Have you ever seen an Indian? I don't mean a
Native American, I mean an Indian from India? Yes? Dark?
Is this sweater I'm wearing black? You ever seen the
Pacific Islanders, the Fiji? You ever seen a f You've

(01:21:02):
seen that hair? Negro? They black, some.

Speaker 6 (01:21:10):
Owens, black Tongueans, black Cambodians, black Vietnamese, black Filipinos, black
and brown.

Speaker 2 (01:21:22):
Cambodians, Burmese. They're dark. Did you know that there is
a set of islands called the Negro Islands?

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
Guess where the Negro Islands are? Asiatic part of Asia,
not Africa.

Speaker 2 (01:21:41):
Look it up. Look up the Negro Islands and look
at the people of the Negro Islands and you'll see
features that are very similar to the far Eastern peoples
of Asia. But they skin black as all or what
in the world today. So that black stuff and that
white stuff, those are trick words. I've seen Spanish speaking people.

(01:22:01):
The skin is whiter than whites from Texas. So what
does it really mean? All right? Words that were created
to keep this tension going because racism really was a race,

(01:22:21):
I mean a race. Okay, all right, we're going in here.
Sorry but not sorry, here we go Romans. Now. The
reason why I did all of that because again, you
have to imagine, imagine someone like me. I think many

(01:22:42):
of you at least kind of know me. You kind
of know me from my teaching style, So you know
that I am interested in the history behind the scriptures
and the history in alignment with the scriptures. You all
know I'm a heavy researcher. Can you imagine discovering that

(01:23:06):
I too am Israel? Oh yeah, well yeah that's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's mind blowing. Okay, And if you think about it again,
we don't have time today. I could walk you through
the entire Bible and show you everywhere Israel intermingled with
people mm and you could see how you'd get the

(01:23:28):
different Jews we have today. Yeah, because God said, if
you disobey me, i'm'a scatter you. Yeah, i'ma scatter you. Yeah.
And guess what they did And guess what happened. They
were scattered, scattered abride And you and I both know

(01:23:52):
that when folk get scattered, the folk get taken into
slavery and they end up in another land. You know
what happens, right, You get new versions of children, don't
you You get? Yeah? Okay, look here Roman's and I
we're going in here. This is Paul speaking. Paul, who

(01:24:13):
was known as Saul Pharisee of Pharisees, persecuted the church,
but then he got saved on his way to Damascus
to persecute more Christians. See that's why you got You
still got the remains of churches in Syria today because
of the Christian influence that was in Syria in ancient days,

(01:24:35):
in the early days of the church. Paul was going
to Damascus because there were believers in Damascus, which is Syria.
What was he going to do? He was going to
persecute him like he had been persecuting the church. But
he had an encounter with Yesua. He had an encounter
with Messiah, and Paul got saved. The zealous on fire

(01:24:57):
combative Paul saw Paul got saved, and Jesus said, ooh,
I'm gonna use that for the kingdom, and he did it.
But Paul never forgot where he came from. Now Paul
knew that to be identified with the Messiah, Trump's everything

(01:25:18):
right at nothing else is As a matter of fact, Paul,
he he said, I count all of these other things
as rubbish and loss for the gain that I have
in Christ. In other words, Paul showed, Paul shows me
how I can be proud to be black and not
forget that I'm black, right, but but knowing that what

(01:25:45):
prevails over this blackness and this whiteness I got in me.
Y'all saw the percentages is Christ. Christ is first right.
Christ is right. And now why he wrote, if you

(01:26:06):
put on Christ, there's neither Jews. Now Jesus knows there's Jews,
and he knows there's gentiles. What was he saying. He
was saying, that's irrelevant. When you become one with me,
that's first. So this is what Paul says here Romans nine,
verse one, I tell the truth in Christ. I ain't lying.

(01:26:30):
I'm telling you. He wrote eight, but the Holy Spirit
didn't let him put eight in the scripture. Say I
ain't lying. My conscience also bearing me witness in the
Holy Spirit. He says that I have great sorrow and
continual grief in my heart. Why Paul, for I could
wish that I myself were a curse from Christ? For

(01:26:53):
my brethren, my countrymen, according to the flesh. He didn't
say nothing about the spirit. He said the flesh. He said,
my countrymen, according to the flesh. What's Paul saying here?
He's saying, I wish I could become a cursed so
that my brethren, my countrymen who look like me, whose

(01:27:14):
origin is from the same land as mine. My concern
for my countrymen according to the flesh, he says, who
are who? Verse four? Israelites, to whom pertained the adoption,
the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the
service of God, and the promises of whom are the fathers,
and from whom, according to the flesh, Jesus came. Because

(01:27:37):
ladies and gentlemen, if you don't have an Abraham having
in Isaac, and Isaac having a Jacob who became Israel,
and Israel having a child named Judah, we don't have
no Jesus. Yeah, not in the natural. Yeah, he was
the low gods and eternity pass. But you had to
have an establishing of Israel, to have a Messiah, so

(01:27:57):
that Israel and all Hens could be saved. Look at
this who is overall the eternally blessed God. Amen. And
then look at this one last one here in Romans eleven.
I mean, it's hard not to read all of Romans eleven.
We're just going to read verse number one and two,

(01:28:21):
one and two, all of one in just half of
verse tuo Romans eleven. All right, so this is after
Paul he makes his case in Romans. Not he even
says this. He says that Israel must be provoked to jealousy.
That's the job of us as believers in the Lord

(01:28:42):
Jesus Christ. And guess what if you're a Messianic Jew,
that much more your responsibility to provoke your countrymen according
to the flesh, to jealousy, meaning what not that God's
forgotten you. We're going to prove that right now, not
that God has forgotten Israel, because God's a keep of
his word. He didn't cancel covenants. But because of the

(01:29:08):
national rejection of the Messiah. Paul says, well, we gotta
provoke them to jealous we gotta get them to see
that he is the way. So he preaches that in
Romans nine. Then he gets the Romans ten and he
talks about salvation for Israel specifically, but not limited to Israel.

(01:29:28):
But you all know the famous verse nine. If you
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in
your heart that God has raised him from the dead,
you will be saved. It was for Israel first, but
not Israel, only for the jew first, and then the gentile.
Look here Romans eleven to one. He gets to chapter

(01:29:49):
eleven and he says this, I say, then, has God
cast away as people? What's the answer to the question.
Certainly not. In other words, what's Paul saying? Has God
cast away Israel? Nope, he has not, he says, for
I Paul am and Israel like of the seed of Abraham,

(01:30:10):
of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away
his people. He what whom he formed. God has not
forgotten Israel. Just because the Lord's Church is in the
earth realm. He hasn't forgotten them, and and and the
fact that He hasn't forgotten them means we can't forget them. Remember,

(01:30:37):
I said, it's God first. So even the many of
us who are who are who are a part of
the diverse makeup of Israel. But we're in Christ and
Christ is first. So because Christ is first, our countrymen.
And we pray for all men because God desires all
men to be saved. But this salvation came through a

(01:31:02):
specific nation, a specific line, and God has not forgotten
about them, and we cannot forget about them. It's our responsibility.
I want everyone to stand up right now again. I've
gone long. I thank you for your patience. But this,

(01:31:28):
this is why we're here. It's it's never been any
coincidence that the Day of Prayer for the Peace of
Jerusalem always falls around Yam Tarua and Yam Kapoor, the
day of Blasting and the day of its hone Man.

(01:31:50):
The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem Again
is an annual celebration that occurs the first Sunday of October.
It was co founded by Bishop Robert Stearns and doctor
Jack Hayford in two thousand and two. Here we are
in twenty twenty four, twenty two years later, and as
soon as Crenshaw found out about it, we got involved

(01:32:11):
and we've been involved ever since. And we were taking
trips to Israel even before we found out about this
this day of prayer. What does the Bible say in
Psalm one twenty two six, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
May they prosper who love you, Peace be within your walls,
prosperity within your palaces. Shaloam. For the sake of my
brother and companions, I will now say, peace be within you,

(01:32:35):
peace of the house of the Lord, our God. I
will seek your good. And so we're gonna pray now
every head bow and every eye clothes. Father, we thank you.
First off, Father, we thank you that you have privileged
us to be co laborers with you, co laborers who

(01:32:57):
could spread the message of our Savior to a dying world.
But Father, you have not forgotten about your elect You
have not cast away Israel. And so we pray for
the peace of Israel, that there be peace in the
walls of Jerusalem. We pray for the emotional, psychological, and

(01:33:20):
physical healing for those who are victims of terrorism and
return all hostages. We pray for protection and provision for
Arab Christians who are severely persecuted, along with Jewish believers
who also experience persecution within their culture abroad, and in Israel,

(01:33:44):
and we pray for Palestine and Israel. We pray for
the offspring of Ishmael and Isaac. We pray for reconciliation
between those brethren. We pray for guidance for government leaders
involved in any potential peace negotiations. We pray for God

(01:34:04):
to provide hope, healing, and love to the children and
youth of Israel, which includes every ethnicity and every color.
There has been loss of life, Lord of Air, of
Israelis and Jewish Israeli children are like so much trauma.
We thank you that God will raise up, increase and

(01:34:25):
embolden Christian watchmen like here at Crenshaw in each nation,
especially in light of increase global total anti Semitism total.
Praying for God's provision, also your provision Father, for the
many who are living in poverty in Israel, that they

(01:34:47):
find the hope and the help they need. Father, we
thank you you said that you will bless those who
bless Abram, and you'll curse those who curse them. Well,
that blessing that is on us is the blessing that
was on Abraham, those of us who belong to Christ,

(01:35:08):
both jew and gentile. So we thank you for that
blessing manifesting in its fullness. We thank you that we,
as the ecclacy of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ,
have been empowered and inspired to minister to Israel, to

(01:35:28):
remind them that they are the apple of God's eye
and that they too can experience the salvation that we
have experienced, because Jesus came for them first, not for
them only, but for them first. We thank you for
a Father. We thank you that Israel's hard has softened,

(01:35:51):
that the Holy Spirit is in the mist and in
the presence of any meetings and negotiations, that the casualties
of those that don't deserve to perish will be lessened,
and to none, that enemies of Israel and enemies of
the Church will be punished accordingly by your word and

(01:36:12):
power and glory Our Abbah, our Father, in the name
of Yesua Yeshua Hamashiak Jesus the Christ. Amen Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.
