Israel has to stand against a world which is increasingly not just anti-Israel but also anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish and Israel has the right to defend itself, Israel has a right to also stand against the pressure which is coming upon the world to accept a Palestinian state, a world that doesn’t understand that a Palestinian state will be used as a springboard to attack Israel and to attempt to destroy it. If you want to know more about that, in the latest edition of Light for the Last Days Magazine I’ve written an article speaking about where I aim to give a hopefully balanced view on this topic. We’re also going to look at the book of Nehemiah which gives a interesting perception on the restoration of Israel, But, of course, the restoration of Israel is not just a physical return of the Jews to the land but God is also aiming at a restoration of His Spirit.

00:00:00We pray that you bless us and make me know something of your love and your peace
00:00:03and also have more understanding of your purposes for us and for Israel.
00:00:10We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
00:00:18So if you were here last week, we had Steve Mouts
00:00:21cheering about his new book, Why Us?
00:00:25The Jewish Question.
00:00:26One of the themes he brought out of that talk was the need for Christians to stand by Israel,
00:00:34opposition to the anti-Israel spirit and the anti-Semitism which is around us.
00:00:39And he gave the view generally that Bible-believing Christians should have a positive attitude towards Israel
00:00:44and said a lot of good things about Israel and the Jewish people.
00:00:49It did lead to a comment on our website following the live streaming of the talk
00:00:53regarding the present state of Israel from a Messianic believer who has made Aliyah
00:00:59and has actually become somewhat disillusioned after living in Israel.
00:01:03And she questioned whether we should give unconditional support for Israel.
00:01:08She spoke of anti-biblical elements in Israel,
00:01:12mentioned the event which took place on October the 7th,
00:01:15which was the terrible attack on Israel,
00:01:17but it was actually an attack on the Nova Festival
00:01:20where young people were dancing to techno music under images of Buddha,
00:01:25therefore not what God wants.
00:01:28Also spoke about discrimination against Messianic Jews and opposition from the Orthodox.
00:01:34And a comment I made was actually about some of the ways in which the settlers treat the Arabs in the West Bank,
00:01:40which is not exactly according to Torah.
00:01:42So everything in Israel is not wonderful and beautiful.
00:01:46And we have to come to terms with that.
00:01:48And I want to say a little bit about that.
00:01:50Of course, it's not as bad as the opposition says.
00:01:53And we live in a time when there is huge opposition to Israel
00:01:55and you have all the crowds on the streets screaming death to the IDF
00:01:59and all that kind of stuff.
00:02:00And a spirit of hostility to Israel, which is way out of order
00:02:06and which misses the point that Israel has to defend itself against people who want to destroy it.
00:02:11And Israel has to stand against, in a world which is increasingly not just anti-Israel,
00:02:19but also anti-Semitic and anti-Jewish.
00:02:22And Israel has the right to defend itself.
00:02:25And Israel has the right to stand also against the pressure which is coming upon the world
00:02:29to accept a Palestinian state
00:02:31when they don't understand the Palestinian state
00:02:33will be used as a springboard to attack Israel and to destroy it.
00:02:37If you want to know more about that,
00:02:38in the latest edition of Light for Last Days,
00:02:40I've given an article speaking about that.
00:02:45And I want to just sort of give a kind of hopefully balanced view on this.
00:02:49And we're also going to look at the book of Nehemiah,
00:02:52which gives a interesting perception on the restoration of Israel.
00:02:59And of course, the restoration of Israel is not just a physical return of the Jews to the land,
00:03:03but God is also aiming at a restoration of the spirit
00:03:07so that they're in the right relationship with God.
00:03:11And, you know, I've been reading through Steve's book last week
00:03:14and he makes a good case for standing with Israel.
00:03:17It's written with humor and insight.
00:03:20Insight into the forces of opposition.
00:03:24And one of the points which he makes, which I've also made,
00:03:26is that the people who attack Israel and want to destroy Israel,
00:03:28when you look at them, they're also one who attack and destroy Christianity and the church,
00:03:33particularly the far left, allied with the Islamic fundamentalists,
00:03:37both of whom have an anti-Christian as well as an anti-Israel agenda.
00:03:42And if we believe that Israel has a right to exist, as we do,
00:03:45based on our reading of the Bible,
00:03:47then we have to have biblical reasons for believing this.
00:03:51We also have to have a view which includes backing Israel in its defense of itself.
00:04:00So Israel has a right to have an IDF, an Israel defense force.
00:04:04Notice it's not an Israel attack force.
00:04:07Israel's army is there to defend it against people who want to destroy it.
00:04:10If they wanted to live in peace with Israel, Israel would live in peace with them.
00:04:15George Amir once said,
00:04:16if the Arabs would lay down their weapons, there would be no more war.
00:04:20If the Jews would lay down their weapons, there'd be no more Israel.
00:04:25Work that one up.
00:04:26And we can see that Israel is in a very difficult position
00:04:29because of this situation which they're in.
00:04:33And in the end, the answer is God.
00:04:38And yet they're not there yet.
00:04:40And I had a few thoughts about this during the week
00:04:42because I was not only reading Steve's book,
00:04:45I was also reading the Bible.
00:04:47And my Bible reading was in Ezra and Nehemiah.
00:04:51And I found there were certain interesting things which you can see there
00:04:54because if you know the Bible, you know that Ezra and Nehemiah are the prophets,
00:04:57not the prophets, they're the historical writings
00:04:59which deal with the restoration of Israel after they'd returned from Babylon.
00:05:04And we're going to look at that a little bit later.
00:05:08But as we're getting into this, a little bit of intro.
00:05:10One of the things you have to recognize as you look at modern Israel
00:05:13is that modern Israel was not founded as a religious state.
00:05:18If you look at the entrance of Israel into the promised land in the time of Moses,
00:05:23Moses prepared them by reading from the book of Deuteronomy
00:05:25and giving them a basis on the Torah.
00:05:29What we're going to look at in Ezra and Nehemiah
00:05:31is that God brought the people back
00:05:33and he gave them a basis to rebuild their state
00:05:36on the values of the Torah, on the Bible.
00:05:39Modern Israel, that didn't happen.
00:05:42In fact, most of the founders of Israel, modern Israel,
00:05:45were the early Zionists, were either atheist or agnostic.
00:05:49Hetzel was not a religious Jew.
00:05:52And many of the founders were not religious Jews.
00:05:54In fact, if you look at...
00:05:56Can you put the slides up?
00:05:59The Ben-Gurion one.
00:06:01That's... Yeah.
00:06:02So this was the founding of Israel on the 28th...
00:06:06On the 14th of May in 1948.
00:06:08A picture of David Ben-Gurion in Tel Aviv.
00:06:13Reading out the Declaration of Independence
00:06:15and setting the stage for the founding of the State of Israel.
00:06:21A little bit of interesting background to that date.
00:06:23They read the Declaration of Independence.
00:06:26You can look up the Declaration of Independence on the website and read it.
00:06:31Interesting document.
00:06:32Speaks about values upon which Israel was born.
00:06:36One of the interesting things is there's a big debate
00:06:38before it took place about including the name of God.
00:06:41The religious wanted it to be signed in the name of Almighty God.
00:06:47But the secular Zionists, socialist Zionists called Mapam, they objected.
00:06:53And Ben-Gurion had this big argument between the secular who wanted to not have God's name in it
00:06:58and the religious who wanted to have the name of God in it.
00:07:01So he came up with a compromise.
00:07:03He said that the document should be signed in the name of Sur Israel,
00:07:07which means the Rock of Israel,
00:07:09which is in fact one of the names given to God in the book of Deuteronomy.
00:07:14But he said if you consider Sur Israel to mean God,
00:07:17that's what it means.
00:07:19If you consider Sur Israel to mean the people of Israel
00:07:22and the traditions of Israel and the land of Israel,
00:07:24then you can say that's what it means.
00:07:27But stop arguing because you've got to sign this document by today
00:07:29and if we don't then we're going to have a problem with the declaration of Israel on May the 14th.
00:07:34So that's how he made this compromise.
00:07:35And in the end it says, in the name of Sur Israel.
00:07:39And he said you can, I'll leave that open to you,
00:07:40what you actually think it means.
00:07:43If you look at English translations it does say in the name of Almighty God.
00:07:46But the Hebrew doesn't actually say that.
00:07:48I tell you that story because it's an interesting kind of insight
00:07:51into the founding of the state of Israel.
00:07:53There's a question mark even whether in the foundation document
00:07:55it should have the name of God.
00:07:59And if you look at it today,
00:08:01probably about 40 to 50 percent, 40 to 50, 45 percent of Israelis
00:08:06define themselves as either secular or cultural Jews.
00:08:11They may keep some of the traditions like Passover,
00:08:14but not out of religious conviction,
00:08:15just as a way of divining their Jewish identity.
00:08:20So that is the situation in modern Israel.
00:08:23During the last week I also watched this film which we plan to show here
00:08:28on the 22nd of February called The Israel Dilemma.
00:08:32This actually shows the connection between the Bible and the history of Israel.
00:08:36It shows some of the archaeological and historical discoveries
00:08:39which have been made which actually back up the authenticity of the biblical account.
00:08:44It actually goes only up to the return from Babylon,
00:08:47so it doesn't deal with modern Israel, it deals with biblical Israel.
00:08:49But it shows that there is a connection which goes back in history,
00:08:54which is also part of the basis on which modern Israel claims its right to exist.
00:09:01It features Ben-Gurion and Netanyahu
00:09:04declaring their connection between the Bible and the land of Israel
00:09:08as Israel's right to exist.
00:09:10It actually goes back to the events in 1936 when having signed the Balfour Declaration
00:09:19in which the British said that they viewed the right of the Jews to have a state in Israel
00:09:25or a land in Israel.
00:09:29By 1936 they were beginning to get cold feet on this
00:09:31because the Arabs were rejecting and there was something called the Peel Commission
00:09:35in which they were really rowing back on the Balfour Declaration
00:09:42and the idea of a Jewish homeland in Palestine
00:09:45because of Arab opposition to the Jewish presence.
00:09:49And so they quizzed Ben-Gurion and Ben-Gurion said
00:09:51simply the Bible is our mandate for our existence.
00:09:55So he put the Bible as the reason why they should have the land.
00:10:00Now it's interesting because Ben-Gurion himself was not personally religious
00:10:04in the traditional orthodox sense.
00:10:07Widely considered as an atheist or an agnostic.
00:10:12Next one.
00:10:13We went round his house in Tel Aviv
00:10:16and also went to the place he retired to in Sdeboka,
00:10:21a kibbutz in the Negev south of Beersheba.
00:10:24And one of the interesting things were this is his bedroom
00:10:28and he's got a pile of books there.
00:10:31When we went there the only book on this bedside was the Bible.
00:10:35And it's believed that he had a Bible continually on his bedside table.
00:10:40He also said the place was full of books so look at the next one.
00:10:45Yep, so everywhere you went in this house
00:10:49it was every shelf, every room had bookshelves in it.
00:10:53And he was obviously a very prolific reader.
00:10:58He had books on philosophy, on religion.
00:11:01He was deeply revered Jewish history, culture and the Bible
00:11:04as a foundational national text.
00:11:07But he also saw it just as that,
00:11:09as a text which should be used to base the Bible on,
00:11:14not something which you believe in as given by God.
00:11:17In fact, he didn't believe the Torah was divinely revealed
00:11:20and he certainly didn't keep all of the commandments in the Torah.
00:11:25And he viewed Judaism as primarily a national culture
00:11:29and the Bible as a kind of manifesto or mandate
00:11:32for the Jewish people's return to the land of Israel,
00:11:35which was typical of most of the early Zionist leaders.
00:11:39In fact, you look at them, many of them were secular,
00:11:41had a socialist worldview, many of them.
00:11:44And also, of course, many Jewish people at this time
00:11:48questioned God after the Holocaust
00:11:49and said, if God is real, why didn't God
00:11:51allow these things to happen to us as a people?
00:11:55So you have this kind of foundation.
00:11:59Come on to Netanyahu.
00:12:02Just going to show you a short clip
00:12:03which Netanyahu has asked about his faith.
00:12:07Get that one up mainly, Tony?
00:12:09Going to work.
00:12:10Going to work.
00:12:14Do you describe yourself as a person of faith?
00:12:22If you don't have faith,
00:12:24you're not going to be,
00:12:26you're not going to sustain the turbulence of politics.
00:12:30You know, politics is a great profession,
00:12:33but it's fraught with a lot of difficult passages,
00:12:36not only for me, but especially for my wife,
00:12:39my two boys.
00:12:41And without their faith and their support,
00:12:43I couldn't be doing what I'm doing.
00:12:45With your faith, how does it influence
00:12:46your leadership and your vision for Israel?
00:12:49Well, it's been more than a part of my life.
00:12:51It's been the essence because
00:12:52when we do everything we're doing there,
00:12:54why are we there?
00:12:55We have to be there in the land of Israel,
00:12:57in the land of the Bible,
00:12:58in the land of our ancestors.
00:13:00Prophets said,
00:13:01after the destruction of our temples,
00:13:03you shall come back.
00:13:04You shall engather the exiles.
00:13:07You shall rebuild your life
00:13:08and your future.
00:13:09And these are not empty words.
00:13:11If you're not filled with a deeper mission,
00:13:15there's no point.
00:13:17Do you describe yourself as a person of faith?
00:13:19If you don't have faith.
00:13:21Okay, you get the point there,
00:13:23what he's saying.
00:13:23He says that
00:13:24we Jews have to be there
00:13:29in the land of the Bible,
00:13:30in the land of Israel,
00:13:31in the land of our ancestors.
00:13:33Prophets said,
00:13:34after the destruction of our temples,
00:13:35you should come back,
00:13:37engather the exiles,
00:13:39rebuild your life and your future.
00:13:41These are not empty words.
00:13:43So Netanyahu is actually saying there
00:13:45that there is a connection
00:13:46between what the prophet said
00:13:47and the restoration of Israel.
00:13:48Of course, that is contested
00:13:52by most of the world
00:13:54because most of the world
00:13:56doesn't believe the Bible.
00:13:59Whether you're Muslims
00:14:00or leftists or atheists,
00:14:03huge numbers of people in the world
00:14:05would reject that
00:14:07as a reason for Israel being there.
00:14:11And many people who do believe the Bible
00:14:12actually have questions about it.
00:14:14There are some Jewish groups.
00:14:15If you go to anti-Israel demonstrations,
00:14:18which I do sometimes
00:14:18not to join in with them
00:14:19but to talk to the opposition
00:14:21or to stand with Israel,
00:14:23you'll find there's always
00:14:24a group of Orthodox Jews there
00:14:25who are from the Satmar group
00:14:27who don't believe
00:14:28that Israel should exist
00:14:29because they say that
00:14:30the state of Israel
00:14:31has come about
00:14:32before the Messiah comes.
00:14:34Only the Messiah can bring
00:14:35the Jews back to Israel
00:14:36and only the Messiah
00:14:37can rebuild Israel again.
00:14:42And that was a view
00:14:42which actually was held
00:14:43by many rabbis
00:14:44actually at the time of Herzl
00:14:45at the time of the
00:14:46beginnings of the Zionist movement.
00:14:53And even today,
00:14:54if you go into Jerusalem,
00:14:55there's an area called Meir Shurim.
00:14:57Anybody been to Meir Shurim?
00:14:59Yeah, you go to Meir Shurim.
00:15:00It's the ultra-Orthodox quarter.
00:15:02Some of the Jews there
00:15:03are from the Netarii Carter group
00:15:05who again don't believe
00:15:06in the modern state of Israel.
00:15:08And when I went there myself,
00:15:11I was amazed to see on the wall
00:15:13a slogan which said,
00:15:15Judaism and Zionism are incompatible.
00:15:19So in the middle of Jerusalem,
00:15:21they're saying that
00:15:22Judaism is incompatible with Zionism.
00:15:24And that was a traditional
00:15:26Orthodox Jewish view.
00:15:28Probably not Orthodox,
00:15:29most of the Orthodox Jews around here
00:15:31wouldn't hold to that view.
00:15:32But that is a view
00:15:33which was held by rabbis
00:15:35when Herzl began to
00:15:37put forward the idea.
00:15:38So a conflict between the Jewish idea.
00:15:41And the Jewish idea
00:15:41was that the Messiah would come first.
00:15:44He would then bring the Jews
00:15:45back to Israel,
00:15:46restore the land of Israel
00:15:47and create a world of peace
00:15:48in which Israel would dwell
00:15:50in the center of the world
00:15:52and the Messiah would reign.
00:15:56Pretty similar to our view
00:15:57of the second coming of Jesus,
00:15:58but we don't believe
00:15:59that before the second coming
00:16:00that's how it's going to be.
00:16:03And it could become
00:16:03a lot of Christians
00:16:04that don't believe this.
00:16:05A lot of Christians would say that
00:16:06now that the Messiah
00:16:09has come in the person of Jesus,
00:16:10the Messiah,
00:16:11he's replaced the covenant
00:16:12with Israel
00:16:12and he's made a new covenant
00:16:14with all of humanity
00:16:15and all of this stuff
00:16:16about Israel
00:16:17and the return is past,
00:16:19it's over,
00:16:20the Jews have blown it
00:16:21and now it's all
00:16:22with the church
00:16:23and the church has replaced Israel.
00:16:25Very common view
00:16:26amongst evangelical Christians.
00:16:28And if you go out
00:16:28and share our message,
00:16:29often you find opposition
00:16:30to them for this reason.
00:16:35And even some
00:16:37who do believe
00:16:38what we believe
00:16:38would say that
00:16:39although Israel is back
00:16:40in the land,
00:16:41there's something missing
00:16:41in modern Israel,
00:16:43something which is not there
00:16:45and I would say that as well,
00:16:46something which is yet to come,
00:16:48which relates to Yeshua
00:16:49and having the right foundation,
00:16:52which is on Yeshua,
00:16:54HaMashiach,
00:16:54Jesus the Messiah.
00:16:56So we have a big contestant
00:16:57about the interpretation
00:16:58of the Bible.
00:16:59You can say that Israel
00:17:00is back in the land
00:17:01because of the Bible
00:17:02but how do you interpret
00:17:03the Bible?
00:17:04How do you interpret it
00:17:05in the light of what
00:17:06is taking place right now?
00:17:11So let's just have a look
00:17:12at one or two foundational passages
00:17:14before we get into
00:17:15the Nehemiah bit.
00:17:16First of all,
00:17:19one of the things
00:17:19you have to recognise
00:17:20and we want another
00:17:21to put up, Danny.
00:17:24Oh, is it?
00:17:25Perhaps it's not on there.
00:17:26Are there any Bible verses
00:17:27on there?
00:17:28No, okay,
00:17:28that didn't come through.
00:17:29Never mind.
00:17:30You'll just have to read it yourself.
00:17:32I'll read it to you
00:17:33and you can believe me
00:17:33I'm telling you the truth.
00:17:36There are different covenants
00:17:37in the Old Testament
00:17:38concerning Israel.
00:17:39One is the covenant
00:17:40which was made with Abraham.
00:17:42Go to Genesis chapter 15,
00:17:44you find that God made a covenant
00:17:45with Abraham
00:17:46that he'd have a multitude
00:17:47of descendants,
00:17:48many of the stars in heaven
00:17:49and the sand on the seashore.
00:17:52He also told him
00:17:52he'd have the covenant deeds,
00:17:54if you like,
00:17:54of the promised land,
00:17:55the land upon which
00:17:56he was a stranger,
00:17:57the land of Canaan.
00:17:59And that covenant
00:17:59was sealed by God himself,
00:18:01not by Abraham.
00:18:02So it was an unconditional covenant.
00:18:05And God repeated that
00:18:06in Genesis chapter 17,
00:18:08which I'm going to read from now.
00:18:09Genesis 17, verse 4.
00:18:13God says,
00:18:13As for me,
00:18:14behold,
00:18:14my covenant is with you.
00:18:16You should be a father
00:18:16of many nations.
00:18:17No longer shall your name
00:18:18be called Abraham,
00:18:20but your name shall be called Abraham.
00:18:22For I have made you
00:18:23a father of many nations.
00:18:25I'll make you exceedingly fruitful.
00:18:26I'll make nations of you
00:18:29and kings shall come from you.
00:18:31I will establish my covenant
00:18:32between me and you
00:18:34and your descendants
00:18:35after you
00:18:35and their generations
00:18:36for an everlasting covenant
00:18:38to be your God
00:18:39to you
00:18:40and your descendants
00:18:41after you.
00:18:42Also I give to you
00:18:43and your descendants
00:18:44after you
00:18:45the land on which
00:18:45you are a stranger
00:18:46in the land of Canaan
00:18:48as an everlasting covenant
00:18:49and I will be
00:18:50their God.
00:18:53So there are
00:18:54interesting word there
00:18:56is everlasting.
00:18:58Now you could say
00:18:58in one sense
00:18:59nothing is everlasting
00:19:00in this world
00:19:00because it's going to be
00:19:01burned up in the end.
00:19:03But the implication is
00:19:04that as long as
00:19:04this world exists,
00:19:05as long as the sun
00:19:06and the moon
00:19:06and the stars exist,
00:19:08which is a quotation
00:19:09from Jeremiah by the way,
00:19:11so long will Israel
00:19:11be a nation before me
00:19:13says the Lord.
00:19:14So God's going to
00:19:15preserve Israel
00:19:15in some form
00:19:16and preserve
00:19:17the connection
00:19:18between the land
00:19:19and the people
00:19:20and the Lord
00:19:21throughout time.
00:19:24And of course
00:19:24when Jesus comes back
00:19:25he's going to rule the world
00:19:26not from Rome
00:19:27or Moscow
00:19:29or London
00:19:30or anywhere like that
00:19:30he's going to rule the world
00:19:31from Jerusalem.
00:19:33So the whole emphasis
00:19:35in the Bible
00:19:35is on an everlasting
00:19:37a continuous covenant
00:19:38which God has
00:19:39with the people
00:19:40and the land.
00:19:41And even if they're
00:19:41out of the land
00:19:42for a while
00:19:43God is going to
00:19:44restore them
00:19:44back to that land.
00:19:47And
00:19:48Psalm 105
00:19:50says
00:19:50this in verse 7
00:19:53he says
00:19:53He is the Lord our God
00:19:55His judgments
00:19:56are in all the earth
00:19:57He remembers
00:19:57His covenant forever
00:19:58His word
00:20:00which He commanded
00:20:00for a thousand generations
00:20:02the covenant
00:20:03which He made
00:20:03with Abraham
00:20:04and His oath
00:20:05to Isaac
00:20:05and confirmed it
00:20:06to Jacob
00:20:07for a statute
00:20:07to Israel
00:20:09as an everlasting covenant
00:20:10saying to you
00:20:11I will give
00:20:11the land of Canaan
00:20:12as an allotment
00:20:13of your inheritance.
00:20:16So
00:20:16in the Psalm
00:20:17he's saying there
00:20:18that He's going to be
00:20:18a covenant
00:20:19which is going to last
00:20:19for a thousand generations
00:20:21that's a long time
00:20:22and there have been
00:20:22more than
00:20:23not less than
00:20:23a thousand generations
00:20:24between the time
00:20:25when this Psalm
00:20:26was given
00:20:26and He's saying
00:20:28that this covenant
00:20:28is going to be
00:20:29a continuing covenant
00:20:30it's not going to change
00:20:31and as I quoted
00:20:33the one I quoted
00:20:34from Jeremiah
00:20:35speaks about
00:20:35as long as the sun
00:20:36and the moon
00:20:36and the stars exist
00:20:37so long will Israel
00:20:38be a nation before me
00:20:39says the Lord.
00:20:41Interesting that
00:20:42Jeremiah one is given
00:20:43immediately after
00:20:43God gives the promise
00:20:44of the new covenant
00:20:45which is fulfilled
00:20:46in Jesus.
00:20:47So I take that
00:20:48to imply that
00:20:48after the new covenant
00:20:50is given
00:20:50so long this covenant
00:20:51with God
00:20:52between God
00:20:53and His people
00:20:54is going to remain
00:20:54in some form.
00:20:55there's another aspect
00:21:00of it
00:21:00which is conditional
00:21:01and that's the covenant
00:21:02which is made
00:21:03with Moses
00:21:04it's conditional
00:21:05on obedience
00:21:06to the Torah
00:21:06I'm going to go back
00:21:09to Exodus chapter 24
00:21:10after God is given
00:21:12the Ten Commandments
00:21:13Moses comes down
00:21:16from the mountain
00:21:16and he speaks
00:21:17to the people
00:21:18and he says
00:21:19in verse
00:21:20chapter 24
00:21:21of Exodus
00:21:22verse 1
00:21:23so Moses came
00:21:25and told the people
00:21:26all the words
00:21:26of the Lord
00:21:27and all the judgments
00:21:28and all the people
00:21:30answered with one voice
00:21:31and said
00:21:31all the words
00:21:32which the Lord
00:21:32has said
00:21:33we will do
00:21:34and Moses wrote
00:21:36all the words
00:21:36of the Lord
00:21:37and he rose
00:21:37early in the morning
00:21:38and built an altar
00:21:40at the foot
00:21:40of the mountain
00:21:41and twelve pillars
00:21:42according to the twelve
00:21:43tribes of Israel
00:21:44then he sent young men
00:21:46and the children
00:21:47of Israel
00:21:48who offered
00:21:48burnt offerings
00:21:49and sacrificed
00:21:50peace offerings
00:21:51of oxen
00:21:52to the Lord
00:21:53and Moses
00:21:54took half the blood
00:21:55and put it in basins
00:21:56and half the blood
00:21:57he sprinkled
00:21:57on the altar
00:21:58then he took
00:21:59the book of the covenant
00:22:00and read it
00:22:00in the hearing
00:22:01of the people
00:22:01and they said
00:22:02all that the Lord
00:22:02has said
00:22:03we will do
00:22:03and be obedient
00:22:04Moses took the blood
00:22:06and sprinkled it
00:22:07on the people
00:22:07and said
00:22:08this is the blood
00:22:09of the covenant
00:22:09which the Lord
00:22:10has made with you
00:22:11according to all
00:22:12these words
00:22:12so this covenant
00:22:14is different
00:22:15because in this covenant
00:22:16the people respond
00:22:17and they say
00:22:17all that the Lord
00:22:18has said
00:22:18we will do
00:22:19we're going to keep
00:22:20this covenant
00:22:20we're going to keep it
00:22:21we know that God's given it
00:22:23but he's given it to us
00:22:24and we now have
00:22:26obligated ourselves
00:22:27to keep this covenant
00:22:28and so the relationship
00:22:30on this covenant
00:22:31is conditional
00:22:32it's unconditional
00:22:33on them
00:22:33keeping this word
00:22:34keeping this covenant
00:22:35and you could say
00:22:37that the rest of the
00:22:38working out
00:22:39of the Old Testament
00:22:40bears this out
00:22:41when Israel is obedient
00:22:43to the Lord
00:22:43God blesses them
00:22:44when Israel is disobedient
00:22:45he brings judgment
00:22:47upon them
00:22:47and if you move on
00:22:50to chapter 6
00:22:51of Deuteronomy
00:22:52now Deuteronomy
00:22:55is a very important book
00:22:56because Deuteronomy
00:22:56is the book
00:22:57which God gave to Moses
00:22:58as he was
00:22:59about to depart
00:23:01from this world
00:23:02and to be the last thing
00:23:03which you give
00:23:04to the children of Israel
00:23:05before they go
00:23:05into the promised land
00:23:07so in Deuteronomy
00:23:09chapter 4 and 5
00:23:12he gives the commandments
00:23:13and in chapter 6
00:23:15verse 1
00:23:15it says
00:23:16this is the commandment
00:23:17these are the statutes
00:23:19and the judgments
00:23:19which the Lord your God
00:23:20has commanded
00:23:21to teach you
00:23:21that you may observe them
00:23:23in the land
00:23:23which you're crossing
00:23:24over to possess
00:23:25that you may fear
00:23:27the Lord your God
00:23:27to keep all his statutes
00:23:28and his commandments
00:23:29which I command you
00:23:30you and your son
00:23:31and your grandson
00:23:32all the days of your life
00:23:33that your days
00:23:34may be prolonged
00:23:35therefore hear O Israel
00:23:37and be careful
00:23:38to observe it
00:23:39that it may be well with you
00:23:40and that you may multiply greatly
00:23:42as the Lord God
00:23:43of your fathers
00:23:44has promised you
00:23:45a land flowing
00:23:46with milk and honey
00:23:47hear O Israel
00:23:48the Lord our God
00:23:49is one
00:23:49you should love
00:23:50the Lord your God
00:23:51with all your soul
00:23:52with all your heart
00:23:53with all your soul
00:23:54and with all your strength
00:23:55so God gives there
00:23:58the basic prayer
00:23:59of Judaism
00:24:00the Shema
00:24:00hear O Israel
00:24:01the Lord your God
00:24:01is one
00:24:02and he tells them
00:24:03that on the basis
00:24:04of keeping these commandments
00:24:05he's going to bless them
00:24:06in the land
00:24:07so there's a condition
00:24:09to their blessing
00:24:10and a condition
00:24:11to God
00:24:12being with them
00:24:13which is their obedience
00:24:14to the commands
00:24:15of the Lord
00:24:16and if you go on
00:24:17to chapter 28
00:24:18which I'm not going to read
00:24:19in detail
00:24:19you'll find that God
00:24:20there in 28
00:24:21gives the blessings
00:24:23which will come upon
00:24:25the people
00:24:25for their obedience
00:24:26so they'll be blessed
00:24:28in the city
00:24:29blessed in the country
00:24:31blessed shall be
00:24:32the fruit of your body
00:24:33the produce of your ground
00:24:35blessed shall be
00:24:36the basket
00:24:36and your kneading bowl
00:24:37blessed shall you be
00:24:38when you come in
00:24:39blessed shall be
00:24:40when you go out
00:24:40the Lord will cause
00:24:42your enemies
00:24:42who rise against you
00:24:43to be defeated
00:24:44before your face
00:24:44they shall come out
00:24:45against you
00:24:46one way
00:24:46and flee before you
00:24:47seven ways
00:24:48it goes on
00:24:49to give the commandments
00:24:51the commandments
00:24:51of blessing
00:24:52which God's going to
00:24:53give to his people
00:24:53going to have
00:24:54plenty of food
00:24:55they're going to have
00:24:56deliverance
00:24:57from their enemies
00:24:57and they're going to
00:24:58be established
00:24:58as a holy people
00:24:59to the Lord
00:25:00that is very conditional
00:25:03because the word
00:25:03which is most important
00:25:04in that whole chapter
00:25:05is the little word
00:25:06if
00:25:06goes through
00:25:08all this commandment
00:25:09it says
00:25:09if you keep
00:25:10these commandments
00:25:10this is what's
00:25:11going to happen
00:25:11to you
00:25:12if you obey them
00:25:13then you're going
00:25:14to be blessed
00:25:14in the land
00:25:15all these good things
00:25:16are going to happen
00:25:16to you
00:25:16you're going to
00:25:17have the protection
00:25:17of the Lord
00:25:18you're going to
00:25:18have peace
00:25:19you're going to
00:25:19have plenty
00:25:19you're going to
00:25:20have his blessing
00:25:21upon you
00:25:21in the land
00:25:22and the people
00:25:24of the earth
00:25:24are going to see
00:25:25that you are
00:25:25a people who
00:25:26are called
00:25:26by the name
00:25:27of the Lord
00:25:27and will
00:25:28honour you
00:25:29as such
00:25:29there are
00:25:3412 verses
00:25:35which are
00:25:36the blessings
00:25:36there's a much
00:25:39longer part
00:25:39which is
00:25:40the curses
00:25:40and the judgments
00:25:41I won't read
00:25:42all of that
00:25:42but it begins
00:25:43by saying
00:25:45it should come
00:25:48to pass
00:25:48if you do not
00:25:49obey the voice
00:25:49of the Lord
00:25:49your God
00:25:50to observe
00:25:50carefully
00:25:51all his
00:25:52commandments
00:25:52and his
00:25:52statutes
00:25:53which I
00:25:53command you
00:25:53today
00:25:54then all
00:25:55these curses
00:25:55will come
00:25:56upon you
00:25:56you'll be
00:25:57left
00:25:57it reverses
00:26:00all the blessings
00:26:01given in the
00:26:02first part
00:26:02and it concludes
00:26:05in verse 62
00:26:06with these words
00:26:06you should be
00:26:07left few in number
00:26:08whereas you were
00:26:09as the stars
00:26:09of heaven
00:26:09in multitude
00:26:10because you
00:26:10would not
00:26:11obey the voice
00:26:11of the Lord
00:26:12your God
00:26:12it should be
00:26:13that just as
00:26:14the Lord
00:26:14rejoiced over
00:26:15you to do
00:26:15you good
00:26:16and multiply
00:26:17you
00:26:17so the Lord
00:26:18will rejoice
00:26:18over you
00:26:19to destroy
00:26:19you
00:26:20and bring
00:26:20you to
00:26:21nothing
00:26:21and you
00:26:22shall be
00:26:22plucked
00:26:22off from
00:26:22the land
00:26:23which you
00:26:23go in
00:26:24to possess
00:26:25so the
00:26:27most severe
00:26:27judgment
00:26:27which God
00:26:28says is
00:26:28going to
00:26:28be
00:26:29that you're
00:26:29going to
00:26:29be plucked
00:26:29off the
00:26:30land
00:26:30and you'll
00:26:31be living
00:26:31in other
00:26:32people's
00:26:32lands
00:26:33interesting
00:26:37wherever you
00:26:37see this
00:26:38most severe
00:26:39judgment
00:26:40taking place
00:26:40you also
00:26:41find that
00:26:42there is a
00:26:42promise of
00:26:43a return
00:26:43on to
00:26:44chapter 30
00:26:45you'll find
00:26:45that God
00:26:46promises
00:26:46then a
00:26:47return
00:26:47to the
00:26:48land
00:26:48and a
00:26:48return
00:26:49to the
00:26:49blessing
00:26:49that's
00:26:50because God
00:26:51made the
00:26:51covenant
00:26:51with Abraham
00:26:52so can
00:26:54you see
00:26:54there are
00:26:54these two
00:26:55covenants
00:26:55the covenant
00:26:56with Abraham
00:26:56which is
00:26:57unconditional
00:26:58which depends
00:26:58upon God
00:26:59the covenant
00:27:00with Moses
00:27:01which is
00:27:01conditional
00:27:02which depends
00:27:02upon the
00:27:03people's
00:27:03obedience
00:27:03to the
00:27:04Lord
00:27:04and if
00:27:05they're
00:27:05disobedient
00:27:06then God
00:27:06reserves the
00:27:07right to
00:27:07bring judgments
00:27:08upon them
00:27:09the most
00:27:09severe of

00:27:10to be
00:27:11removed

00:28:03in chapter

00:28:07are up
00:28:07he prays
00:28:08one of
00:28:08the most
00:28:09amazing
00:28:09prayers
00:28:09of repentance
00:28:10which you'll
00:28:11find in
00:28:11chapter 9
00:28:12and calls
00:28:12upon the
00:28:13Lord
00:28:13to restore
00:28:13the people
00:28:14to Jerusalem
00:28:15which he
00:28:16does
00:28:16and see
00:28:18that God
00:28:18is faithful
00:28:19to his
00:28:19word
00:28:19but faithfulness
00:28:21to his
00:28:21word
00:28:21also means
00:28:22bringing
00:28:22judgment
00:28:22upon his
00:28:23people
00:28:23when they
00:28:24are unfaithful
00:28:24to him
00:28:25that of course
00:28:27applies to us
00:28:27as Christians
00:28:28as well
00:28:28so I don't
00:28:28think it's
00:28:29just all those
00:28:29Jews who get
00:28:30the bad news
00:28:30we can get
00:28:31that bad news
00:28:31as well
00:28:32if we're
00:28:32unfaithful
00:28:33to him
00:28:33and he can
00:28:35and take us
00:28:36out of the
00:28:36place of
00:28:37favor
00:28:37but if we
00:28:38repent and
00:28:38put things
00:28:39right then
00:28:39we can
00:28:39come back
00:28:40into the
00:28:40presence of
00:28:41the Lord
00:28:41and into
00:28:42his favor
00:28:42now that
00:28:47brings me
00:28:47on to my
00:28:47Bible reading

00:28:48of a long

00:28:49to the
00:28:49passage I
00:28:50want to
00:28:50read

00:29:32last
00:29:32chapters
00:29:32of

00:29:35of
00:29:35disobedience
00:29:36to the
00:29:36land
00:29:36but also
00:29:37the last
00:29:38verse of
00:29:38chronicles
00:29:39says that
00:29:40there
00:29:40would come
00:29:40a king

00:30:09their own
00:30:09gods
00:30:09or their
00:30:11own god
00:30:11but this
00:30:13happened
00:30:14and as the
00:30:15exiles
00:30:15returned
00:30:16the book
00:30:17of Ezra
00:30:17describes how
00:30:18they start
00:30:18rebuilding the
00:30:19temple
00:30:19and they
00:30:22start

00:30:31return
00:30:32the
00:30:33restoration
00:30:33physical
00:30:34restoration
00:30:35of
00:30:35the land
00:30:38as they
00:30:39go back
00:30:40they have
00:30:40two problems
00:30:41to deal
00:30:41with
00:30:41which you
00:30:42can see
00:30:42in the
00:30:42book of
00:30:43Ezra
00:30:43one is
00:30:44the hostility
00:30:45of the
00:30:45people who
00:30:46are already
00:30:46dwelling in
00:30:47the land
00:30:47they don't
00:30:48want these
00:30:49Jews coming
00:30:49back and
00:30:49setting up
00:30:50their temple
00:30:50and setting
00:30:51up their
00:30:51state
00:30:52there
00:30:52Samaritan
00:30:54and Sambal
00:30:54the Horonite
00:30:55and all
00:30:55sorts of
00:30:55characters
00:30:56you read
00:30:56in the
00:30:56book of
00:30:57Ezra
00:30:57do what
00:30:58they can
00:30:58to
00:30:58frustrate
00:30:59it
00:30:59actually
00:31:00first of
00:31:00all
00:31:00they try
00:31:01and cooperate
00:31:01with them
00:31:02and say
00:31:02we're going
00:31:02to build
00:31:02with you
00:31:03the Jews
00:31:04say no
00:31:05you can't
00:31:05because we're
00:31:06building it
00:31:06unto our
00:31:07God and
00:31:07you're
00:31:07worshipping
00:31:07other gods
00:31:08so you
00:31:09can't work
00:31:09with us
00:31:10we're going
00:31:10to build
00:31:10our own
00:31:11temple
00:31:13here
00:31:13and our
00:31:14own
00:31:14laws
00:31:16and so
00:31:16on
00:31:16so the
00:31:18first problem
00:31:18is the
00:31:19opposition
00:31:19of the
00:31:19people
00:31:20dwelling
00:31:20in the
00:31:20land
00:31:21the other
00:31:22problem
00:31:22is the
00:31:23state of
00:31:24the Jewish
00:31:24people
00:31:25themselves
00:31:25who end
00:31:27up doing
00:31:27the same
00:31:28things which
00:31:28they were
00:31:28doing before
00:31:29the exile
00:31:29which caused
00:31:30the exile
00:31:31in the first
00:31:31place
00:31:32dividing
00:31:33amongst each
00:31:34other
00:31:34disobeying
00:31:35God's
00:31:35commandments
00:31:35and
00:31:36specifically
00:31:37intermarrying
00:31:37with the
00:31:38people of
00:31:38the land
00:31:39not doing
00:31:41what God
00:31:41wants them
00:31:41to do
00:31:42in order
00:31:42to be
00:31:42blessed
00:31:43by him
00:31:43and bringing
00:31:45in other
00:31:45gods
00:31:46can you see
00:31:48there's a bit
00:31:49of a connection
00:31:49with the
00:31:49modern Israel
00:31:50isn't there
00:31:50you've got
00:31:52opposition
00:31:53from the
00:31:53people of
00:31:53the land
00:31:54who are
00:31:54already
00:31:54there
00:31:55and also
00:31:56division
00:31:57within the
00:31:57people
00:31:57themselves
00:31:58and the
00:31:59problem
00:31:59that they're
00:31:59not doing
00:32:00exactly
00:32:00what God
00:32:01wants them
00:32:01to do
00:32:02so into
00:32:04this
00:32:04situation
00:32:05comes Ezra
00:32:06the priest
00:32:07who is a
00:32:10great man
00:32:10of God
00:32:11I'm going
00:32:12to read
00:32:13now
00:32:13what happens
00:32:14Ezra

00:32:32open
00:32:32square
00:32:33that was
00:32:33in front
00:32:33of the
00:32:33water
00:32:34gate
00:32:34and they
00:32:35told Ezra
00:32:36the scribe
00:32:36to bring

00:32:38Lord
00:32:39had
00:32:39commanded
