The Gospel Of John Opens In Eternity Past To Reveal Jesus Christ As God Manifest In The Flesh And The Only Saviour For Lost Sinners

The Gospel of John opens not in Bethlehem, not in Nazareth, not with Mary or Joseph, but in eternity past: “In the beginning was the Word.” John does not begin with the cradle, he begins with the Godhead. Matthew presents Jesus as King, Mark as Servant, Luke as the Son of man, but John presents Him as God manifest in the flesh. That is the battleground. Every cult, every false religion, every counterfeit Bible, and every antichrist spirit eventually attacks the deity of Jesus Christ. John answers them before they even speak: the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 (KJB)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, John’s Gospel is built around belief. The word “believe” appears again and again because John is pressing the reader toward a verdict. You are not allowed to casually admire Jesus in this book. You must decide who He is. Is He merely a teacher, prophet, healer, revolutionary, or religious example? John says no. He is the eternal Word, the Creator, the Light, the Lamb of God, the Bread of life, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. John strips away religious fog and brings the sinner face to face with the only Saviour God has provided. A verse-by-verse study through John should constantly point out how the book divides between light and darkness, belief and unbelief, life and death, truth and religious blindness. The Pharisees had Scripture, temple worship, priesthood, sacrifice, feast days, and religious authority — yet they rejected the very Messiah standing in front of them. That is one of John’s sharpest warnings. Religion without the new birth is still darkness. Nicodemus was a master of Israel, but Jesus told him plainly, “Ye must be born again.” The woman at the well had a ruined past, but she received living water. The religious ruler needed regeneration just as much as the fallen Samaritan woman did. This is Part #3 in our verse-by-verse series of the Gospel of John.

On our Sunday and Wednesday night radio bible study, we are preaching and teaching the gospel of the grace of God, rightly divided and dispensationally correct, to a truly global audience who is hungry for the word. These programs would not be possible without your generous support. Listen to just a few of the recent comments we have gotten:

• I  thanked God for sending to your website in 2015 , I  live in the South of France near Nice and let me tell you here there isn’t any Bible Believing church at all, the sad reality of France is that is full of freemasons and Muslims. You came to me at the time I  was going to take my own life because of my job. You’re anointed person and I pray for you, family  and  ministry because you’re a blessing to all of us. May God bless you always. I know I’ll meet you in heaven one day. Lots of Love from your sister in Christ, Paula.

• “Hi Geoffrey and staff, Today is my one year anniversary that I got saved on your podcast!  I am now a KJB only, I threw away my other two versions I had.  I was shocked to learn of the differences and how the new versions twist the words of God, and dilute the message at best. Thank you for the fabulous bible  education and fire for the Lord.  I donate on your website throughout the year.  Thanks for all that you do.” Donna

• “I have been reading on NTEB for about 5 years and listening as I can to your services.  If I could list the encouragement, the doctrines, the awareness of what is coming (our blessed hope) but also the last days culture in which I live that you have taught me, this email wouldn’t fit in this letter. Because of you, I am a stronger more equipped soldier for Jesus Christ. Thank you sir for you, your ministry in my life. Faithful to the end because He lives in me.” Ruthie Dennis
• “My name is Carl N from Mumbai, India. My wife Andrea and I have been ardent listeners of your Bible Study and news update podcasts from the very start of the lockdown last year. In fact we make it a point to share these links with our family and friends… many times getting into trouble, as the truth upsets people. We cannot even begin to tell you how this has changed our lives and walk with the Lord. Thank you so much for what you’ve been doing for the Kingdom!! We’ve even switched Bible translations to the KJV. For the last month or so, you’ve been speaking about making end times Bible study materials available. This got us really excited, as we’re eager to use these for our weekly house church group.” Carl N – Mumbai, India
• “I listen to your podcasts often. Very enlightening and I’ve learned a lot. I’m Catholic and followed the Holy Bible throughout my life however, since listening to your podcasts, I’ve learned much more. I recently sent NTEB a small donation. I’d like to do so again in the future. I’ve also signed up for NTEB chatroom. Anyways, I have a downloaded version of KJB on my computer and I follow your Bible Study with my pdf version KJB. You have offered to send out printed version of KJB if requested. If not too much trouble, when you or your staff get the opportunity please send me a copy.” Kevin W – Frankfurt, Germany
• Just wanted to let you know that your ministry is producing fruit. After listening to the studies and church on NTEB, I was motivated to write witness letters along with NTEB gospel tracks to friends from my hometown who I know are not saved. I sent two of the letters to former Catholic priests of mine….I attached the response from him urging me to read the book “Prove It!.” My wife and I have been placing your gospel tracks in different places we visit. This coming Sunday, I am hosting my first Bible study in my house with some people in our neighborhood. Tomorrow evening I have been given a chance to teach the lesson to our youth church group (our church is very Laodicean), and I am going to talk to the youth on end times. Thank you so much for your ministry and encouraging us to get something done for Jesus while we still can! Thomas B 
• “The sole purpose of this email to you is to let you know how much we have been blessed by your amazing ministry/website. ‘We’ is my wife and I, in our early forties, 3 kids, professing, churchgoing, bible believing Christians in The Netherlands.  Since two months, I listen to your bible studies on Sunday evening, and since this week also to your prophecy podcast. I listen to them in the archives, because of the 6 hour time difference. The shofar and the blessing at 0:30 into the study never fails to make tears in my eyes. We are praying for you, we are praying for your voice, that it lasts in these incredible busy times for you. Listening to your podcasts, you seem to do it effortlessly, talking, scanning the chatbox for questions, diving into the texts, from Genesis to Revelation and everything in between, I love it when you realize after 1:30h into the study, actually a lot more subjects need to be addressed! Thank you for all your work and effort, you are doing an amazing job. Although it all seems effortlessly, I know it is not…Our faith is strengthened by your work and we are able to testify in a better way to the people around us!” Wouter D. van der Wiel – Netherlands
• “Wanted to send you encouragement and thank you for all you are doing!! I’ve been reading from this website for about 5 years and I’ve been on this at least 10 times a day. It’s the most honest prophecy website in history. And you have ministered to me greatly. This lockdown has been amazing as God gets us unto himself and smooths out the paths for us. I was reading devotional from Kenneth Copeland and during that time you had really hit That ministries hard. I was not Word Faith but I was feeding off his teaching. During this time I have removed Kenneth Copeland I wanted to thank you for your exposure of his ministry. Holy Spirit is truly the leader of all truths. The bible study on Bill Gates was tremendous. And I had the same check in my spirit as you did. He’s the guy that gonna lead this one world revolution Amazing times we live in. I’m super excited and living in total victory and peace. Once again thank you for the time you put in your reward in heaven will truly be great. Looking forward to this coming week. My prayer tonight is this …Father send Your Son!! DG
• “Thank you oh so much for sound teaching. I am so thankful and blessed for clicking on your channel. I have been on your Facebook page since 2011 and never subscribed to you-tube channel until today. I loved the live recording of singing, what a delight to hear the joy of the Lord in the voices of the congregation. So wonderful to hear the part about Luke 12:36, that has made my eyebrows furrow when I read and therefore I have always steadfast to not leaning on my own understanding. May God continue to bless you, your family friends and loved ones. All Glory be to Jesus, my Saviour Redeemer and King, Amen.” Susan Anderson
• “Loved this teaching! Presented in a clear contextual manner that was easy to follow along. You connected the dots for me that had previously brought so much confusion, namely the 4th seal covenant, the 5th seal tribulation saints, and the 6th seal 2nd Coming of Christ AFTER the wedding of the Body/Bride of Christ IN HEAVEN. Wow, after 41 years since my being born again by the Holy Spirit in to the Body of Christ, I finally have the answers to end the confusion. What joy and peace has flooded my heart! Thank you for this encouraging teaching of the Word.” SB
• “I am from Sri Lanka and listen to the radio Bible study every week.” Nihal Perera

Nothing thrills my soul like teaching the word of God, it is what the Lord called me to do 29 years ago, and Now The End Begins is the vehicle in which I am able to do it. How exciting it is to be able to teach the Bible to tens of thousands of people per year. Like I told you with the first post of 2020, I have dedicated myself now full-time to NTEB, and it is only through your generous support that such a thing is possible.

I’ve been banned from seeing my grandsons since I comforted the 4 1/2 year old with sharing Jesus loving the little children & telling him about the one who created him last he stayed overnight March 3rd. He was so excited to hear about Jesus! His dad (my son) was angry that I told him & wants me to apologize. I never will do so.

My heart grieves for all the lost who will spend eternity in hell if they reject the Lord Jesus Christ, the expectant hope of the world. He is not willing that any should perish.

I Stand With The Jews Not Because Israel Is Perfect, But Because God Is Faithful, His Covenant Is Everlasting, And His Prophetic Word Concerning Jerusalem Cannot Fail

To say “I stand with the Jews” is not to deny Israel’s present unbelief, excuse every decision made by the modern state, or pretend that the Jewish people are righteous apart from Jesus Christ. It is to recognize the unmistakable testimony of Scripture: God made everlasting promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, preserved their descendants through centuries of dispersion and persecution, and has not cast away His people. The same Bible that reveals Israel’s rebellion also reveals Israel’s future restoration. Therefore, the Christian who stands with the Jews is not endorsing sin; he is refusing to join the nations in despising a people whom God still calls “beloved for the fathers’ sakes.” We can preach the gospel to the Jew, oppose unbelief and still reject the hatred, mockery and violence that have followed them across the centuries. Christian, I stand with the Jews according to God’s word. Where do you stand?

“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.” Romans 11:28 (KJB)

Standing with the Jews may place a Christian in an uncomfortable position, especially when both secular culture and parts of the professing Church turn against Israel. But faithfulness has never been measured by popularity. The prophets warned that the nations would gather against Jerusalem, while the apostles warned Gentile believers not to boast against the natural branches. Our duty is clear: pray for the peace of Jerusalem, defend the Jewish people against hatred, preach Jesus Christ as their true Messiah and trust God to fulfill every promise He made to them. Israel may be rebellious today, but God is not finished with Israel—and the Christian who believes the Bible should be willing to stand where God’s Word stands, even when that position is misunderstood or hated.

The Bible Believers Sunday Service: I Stand With The Jews

I Stand With The Jews – Introduction

On January 20, 1942, Nazi leaders met in Wannsee for the “final solution of the Jewish question”. Emigrating the Jews was a slow and inefficient process, and they needed something that would do the job faster. What follows is a transcript from that event.

“SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, Head of the Security Police and the SD, opened the meeting with the announcement that the Reich Marshal had put him in charge of preparations for the final solution of the Jewish question. He noted that this conference had been convened to clarify fundamental questions. In the course of the practical implementation of the final solution, Europe will be combed through from West to East for Jews.

Priority will have to be given to the territory of the Reich, including the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, if only because of the housing issue and other socio-political needs. The evacuated Jews will first be taken, group by group, to so-called transit ghettos, from where they will be transported onwards to the East and the concentration camps. In large labour columns, separated by sex, the Jews capable of working will be dispatched to these regions to build roads. In the process, a large portion will undoubtedly drop out through natural reduction.”

This was the purpose of the Wannsee Conference: not to decide whether Europe’s Jews would be destroyed, but to ensure that the destruction proceeded without friction. Authority from Göring was cited. Ministries were aligned. Railways, police, and civil administrations were synchronized. The protocol calmly listed some eleven million Jews, country by country, marked for elimination. Genocide was no longer a campaign of violence on the margins of war; it was now a centrally coordinated state policy.

The moral language would come later—and it would be even more revealing. In October 1943, Heinrich Himmler addressed SS officers at Posen and spoke openly of what had been done. The extermination of the Jews, he said, was “a page of glory in our history that has never been written and shall never be written.” He praised his men for carrying out mass murder while remaining, in his words, “decent.” To kill women and children and still consider oneself honorable—that, Himmler insisted, required discipline, endurance, and loyalty. It was a “difficult,” even “thankless,” task.

“Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.” Jeremiah 16:16 (KJB)

“And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:14 (KJB)

I Stand With The Jews

Main Text

“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” Romans 11:28–29 (KJB)

Central Truth

The Jewish people are presently in spiritual blindness and unbelief, but God has not abandoned His covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David. The Christian is called to reject antisemitism, refuse to boast against Israel, preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Jew, and believe the promises concerning Israel’s future national redemption.

I. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BECAUSE GOD CHOSE THEM

God’s choosing of Israel did not originate in their goodness, greatness, or righteousness. It originated in His sovereign purpose and covenant faithfulness.

1. God chose Abraham and his seed

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 12:1-3 (KJB)

The Jewish people exist because God called one man, Abraham, and promised to make of him a great nation.

1. The covenant passed through Isaac

“And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.” Genesis 17:19 (KJB)

God specifically declared that the covenant line would pass through Isaac.

1. The covenant passed through Jacob

“And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.” Genesis 28:13 (KJB)

“And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” Genesis 28:14 (KJB)

The promises were confirmed to Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel.

1. Israel was chosen to be a peculiar people

“For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” Deuteronomy 7:6 (KJB)

“The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people.” Deuteronomy 7:7 (KJB)

Truth

Israel’s chosen position rests upon God’s promise, not upon Israel’s performance.

Application

I stand with the Jews because God chose them, made covenant promises to their fathers, and declared that His calling cannot be reversed by human rebellion.

II. I STAND WITH THE JEWS WHILE RECOGNIZING THEIR PRESENT REBELLION

Standing with the Jewish people does not require pretending that modern Israel is spiritually righteous. The Bible openly records Israel’s sin, rebellion, unbelief, and rejection of the Messiah.

1. Israel repeatedly rebelled against God

“But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.” Deuteronomy 32:15 (KJB)

“They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.” Deuteronomy 32:16 (KJB)

Israel’s chosen status never made Israel immune from chastisement.

1. Israel rejected the prophets

“Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.” Nehemiah 9:26 (KJB)

1. Israel rejected Jesus Christ

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” John 1:11 (KJB)

“But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.” John 19:15 (KJB)

1. Israel presently possesses zeal without saving knowledge

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.” Romans 10:1-3 (KJB)

1. Israel is presently blinded in part

“What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.” Romans 11:7 (KJB)

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.” Romans 11:25 (KJB)

Truth

Israel is presently blinded, largely secular, and unbelieving toward Jesus Christ.

Application

I do not stand with Israel because Israel is sinless. I stand with Israel because God is faithful. I can acknowledge Israel’s rebellion without joining those who despise the Jewish people.

III. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BECAUSE GOD HAS NOT CAST THEM AWAY

The New Testament directly answers the question of whether God has finished with Israel.

1. Paul’s answer is unmistakable

“I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid.” Romans 11:1 (KJB)

The phrase “God forbid” leaves no room for replacement theology.

1. A believing Jewish remnant remains

“Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.” Romans 11:5 (KJB)

God has always preserved a remnant of believing Jews.

1. Israel’s fall is not final

“I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.” Romans 11:11 (KJB)

Israel stumbled, but Israel did not fall beyond recovery.

1. Israel remains beloved because of the fathers

“As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” Romans 11:28,29 (KJB)

God does not revoke His covenant calling because of human failure.

Truth

Israel’s present unbelief has not cancelled God’s future purpose.

Application

I stand with the Jews because the God who made the promises has not changed His mind.

IV. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BECAUSE THE GENTILES WERE WARNED NOT TO BOAST

Paul warned Gentile believers against pride, arrogance, and contempt toward Israel.

1. Gentiles were grafted into spiritual blessings

“And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree.” Romans 11:17 (KJB)

1. Gentiles are commanded not to boast

“Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.” Romans 11:18 (KJB)

1. Gentiles are warned against pride

“Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear.” Romans 11:20 (KJB)

1. God is able to graft Israel in again

“And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.” Romans 11:23 (KJB)

Truth

The Church has no biblical right to become proud, boastful, or hateful toward the Jewish people.

Application

A Christian who despises the Jews is boasting against the branches and ignoring a direct apostolic warning.

V. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BECAUSE GOD GAVE THEM THE SCRIPTURES AND THE PROMISES

The Jewish people were the human channel through which God gave the world His written revelation and the promised Messiah.

1. The oracles of God were committed to the Jews

“What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.” Romans 3:1,2 (KJB)

1. The covenants and promises belong to Israel

“Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises.” Romans 9:4 (KJB)

1. Jesus Christ came through Israel according to the flesh

“Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.” Romans 9:5 (KJB)

1. Salvation came to the world through the Jews

“Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” John 4:22 (KJB)

Truth

The Bible, the prophets, the covenants, and the earthly lineage of Jesus Christ all came through Israel.

Application

Christians should possess humility and gratitude toward the people through whom God brought His written Word and His incarnate Son into the world.

VI. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BECAUSE THE LAND WAS PROMISED TO THEM

The land of Israel is not merely a modern political invention. Its boundaries and ownership were established by covenant.

1. God promised the land to Abraham’s seed

“In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.” Genesis 15:18 (KJB)

1. The land was given as an everlasting possession

“And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” Genesis 17:8 (KJB)

1. The land belongs to God

“The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.” Leviticus 25:23 (KJB)

1. Jerusalem occupies a unique place in God’s purpose

“Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.” Psalm 2:6 (KJB)

“For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.” Psalm 132:13 (KJB)

Truth

Israel’s connection to the land is rooted in divine covenant, though Israel has never yet possessed the full promised territory in permanent peace.

Application

I stand with Israel’s biblical right to the land while remembering that the complete fulfillment awaits the reign of Jesus Christ.

VII. I STAND WITH THE JEWS WITHOUT EXCUSING EVERY ACTION OF THEIR GOVERNMENT

Biblical support for Israel is not blind political loyalty. No government is above moral judgment.

1. God judged Israel’s rulers

“Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed.” Isaiah 10:1 (KJB)

“The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof.” Isaiah 3:14 (KJB)

1. The prophets confronted Israel’s sins

“Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.” Micah 3:9 (KJB)

1. Christians must judge matters righteously

“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” John 7:24 (KJB)

Truth

Supporting the Jewish people does not mean declaring every decision of the Israeli government righteous.

Application

I can defend Israel’s existence, reject antisemitism, and believe God’s promises while still judging political conduct according to truth and righteousness.

VIII. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BY PREACHING JESUS CHRIST TO THEM

True love for the Jewish people includes a desire for their salvation.

1. Religious heritage cannot save

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 (KJB)

1. Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6 (KJB)

1. There is no salvation in any other name

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 (KJB)

1. The gospel is to the Jew first

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16 (KJB)

1. Paul’s burden was for Israel’s salvation

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.” Romans 10:1 (KJB)

Truth

A Jewish person is not saved by ethnicity, circumcision, law-keeping, ancestry, or residence in Israel.

Application

I do not truly love the Jewish people if I defend them politically but refuse to tell them about their Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.

IX. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BECAUSE THE PROPHETS FORETELL THEIR NATIONAL REPENTANCE

Israel’s present spiritual blindness will not last forever.

1. Israel will look upon the One whom they pierced

“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced.” Zechariah 12:10 (KJB)

1. Israel will mourn in national repentance

“And the land shall mourn, every family apart.” Zechariah 12:12 (KJB)

1. A fountain will be opened for cleansing

“In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.” Zechariah 13:1 (KJB)

1. The Jewish remnant will call upon the Lord

“And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.” Zechariah 13:9 (KJB)

Truth

The prophets foretell a future Jewish remnant that will recognize, mourn for, and call upon the Lord.

Application

I stand with the Jews because I know their present blindness is not the end of their story.

X. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN TO JERUSALEM

The Second Advent is centered upon Israel, Jerusalem, and the return of Israel’s rejected King.

1. Christ will stand upon the Mount of Olives

“Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east.” Zechariah 14:3,4 (KJB)

1. Jerusalem will behold her King

“Behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation.” Zechariah 9:9 (KJB)

The first coming fulfilled the presentation of the King; the Second Advent will bring His visible reign.

1. Israel will finally receive the One they rejected

“For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” Matthew 23:39 (KJB)

1. The Deliverer will come out of Sion

“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer. For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.” Romans 11:26,27 (KJB)

Truth

At the Second Advent, the Lord Jesus Christ will return physically, visibly, and victoriously to Jerusalem.

Application

I stand with the Jews because their Messiah is coming back to redeem the remnant, destroy Israel’s enemies, and establish His kingdom.

XI. I STAND WITH THE JEWS BECAUSE GOD WILL JUDGE THE NATIONS THAT ATTACK THEM

The prophets repeatedly warn that the nations will gather against Jerusalem in the last days.

1. The nations will gather against Jerusalem

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people.” Zechariah 12:2,3 (KJB)

1. God will seek to destroy the nations that attack Jerusalem

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:9 (KJB)

1. All nations will gather against Jerusalem

“For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle.” Zechariah 14:2 (KJB)

1. The nations will be judged according to their treatment of Israel

“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:1,2 (KJB)

Truth

The final global attack upon Israel will bring the direct intervention and judgment of God.

Application

I will not join the hatred that Scripture says will ultimately consume the nations. I will stand on the side of God’s revealed purpose.

XII. I STAND WITH THE JEWS EVEN WHEN IT IS UNPOPULAR

Biblical truth has never depended upon public approval.

1. The believer must obey God rather than men

“Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:29 (KJB)

1. The servant of Christ cannot live for human approval

“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10 (KJB)

1. Truth may create enemies

“Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” Galatians 4:16 (KJB)

1. The believer must stand

“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13 (KJB)

Truth

Standing with the Jewish people may bring opposition from secular society, religious institutions, and even professing Christians.

Application

My position is not determined by public opinion. It is determined by the written Word of God.

WHAT “I STAND WITH THE JEWS” DOES NOT MEAN

It does not mean:

• That Jewish people are automatically saved.
• That modern Israel is living under the Law of Moses.
• That every Israeli politician or military action is righteous.
• That Christians should worship the nation of Israel.
• That the Church and Israel are the same body.
• That the Church has replaced Israel.
• That Jewish unbelief should be ignored.
• That the gospel should be withheld from the Jewish people.

WHAT “I STAND WITH THE JEWS” DOES MEAN

It means:

• I reject antisemitism in every form.
• I recognize God’s covenant promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• I believe the land promises will be fulfilled literally.
• I refuse to boast against the natural branches.
• I pray for the salvation of the Jewish people.
• I preach Jesus Christ as Israel’s only Messiah and Saviour.
• I believe Israel’s blindness is temporary.
• I believe a Jewish remnant will be redeemed.
• I believe Jesus Christ will return to Jerusalem.
• I believe God will keep every promise He made.

CLOSING TRUTH

Israel is presently blinded, but not abandoned.

Israel is presently unbelieving, but not forgotten.

Israel is presently scattered and surrounded by enemies, but not removed from God’s prophetic plan.

The Christian does not stand with the Jews because they are always right. The Christian stands with the Jews because God is always right.

CLOSING CHALLENGE

Will you believe God’s promises when the world mocks them?

Will you reject antisemitism even when hatred of the Jews becomes socially acceptable?

Will you pray for Israel’s salvation instead of merely arguing about Israel’s politics?

Will you love the Jewish people enough to defend them from hatred and enough to preach Jesus Christ to them?

Will you stand with the Jews when doing so causes others to stand against you?

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalm 122:6 (KJB)

I stand with the Jews—not because Israel is without sin, but because God is without repentance concerning His gifts, His calling, His covenants, and His promises.

Men At Roxbury Correctional Institution Are Coming To Chapel Services, But Some Cannot Afford A Bible—Bibles Behind Bars Is Ready To Answer The Call

Behind the razor wire and concrete walls of Roxbury Correctional Institution in Hagerstown, Maryland, are approximately 1,800 men, each with a story, a past, and a soul that matters to God. Some of these men are coming to chapel, listening to the preaching, and trying to follow along as the Word of God is opened—but they have no Bibles to take with them back to their cells. That is why this request from Chaplain Ralls is so important. It’s a request for the one Book that can pierce the darkness, convict the sinner, comfort the broken, and lead a captive man into the liberty found only in Jesus Christ.

“Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.” Hebrews 13:3 (KJB)

Chaplain Ralls writes “RCI houses approximately 1800 Incarcerated Men. We would love to be able to provide men that are unable to afford a bible, a new bible so they can come to service and follow with the word being given. If possible, we would like to request English Bibles and Spanish Bibles. Thank you so much for your help!.” This is the mission of Bibles Behind Bars – to carry the Word of God into places filled with guilt, fear, anger, regret, and hopelessness. We are not excusing crime, minimizing victims, or pretending consequences do not matter. Because they do. What we are doing is declaring that the shed blood of Jesus Christ is still powerful enough to save the worst sinner, and that no prison sentence can place a man beyond the reach of God’s mercy. The same gospel that saved me and you is the very same gospel these men so desperately need. Come help us to answer the call and meet this need for God’s word!
