=== Jews Lost Their Priesthood (03:27) ===

[00:00:01]  I grew up as a Jew and always knew that Judaism was bankrupt.
[00:00:06]  So whenever I see Gentile leaders with Hanukkah menorahs, I have to laugh.
[00:00:11]  You see, Judaism is for Jews only, unless you're groveling for the Jewish vote.
[00:00:18]  Gentiles should be glad they're not wanted.
[00:00:21]  Judaism has nothing to offer.
[00:00:24]  First of all, Jews lost their kingship.
[00:00:28]  The Old Testament predicted King David's line would stop once the Messiah came.
[00:00:34]  Well, he came. Jesus Christ is proclaimed the son of David, but the Jews crucified their king.
[00:00:41]  Second, Jews lost the priesthood.
[00:00:44]  Once the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, the genealogies were also destroyed.
[00:00:51]  No Jew can prove he's from the tribe of Levi.
[00:00:54]  With no priesthood, there can be no temple.
[00:00:58]  That makes the rebuilding of the temple a sham.
[00:01:02]  The prophets Isaiah and Malachi announced that God would replace Levites with Gentiles.
[00:01:09]  Thus the church's priesthood, an office lost by Judaism, has the sacramental power to impart divine life, beginning with baptism and Holy Communion.
[00:01:20]  But Judaism's mikveh, wine and bread, is nothing more than tap water, vinegar and yeast.
[00:01:28]  Third, Jews have no prophets.
[00:01:31]  No prophet has arisen in Judaism once Christ came.
[00:01:35]  The rabbis claim the mantle of prophecy passed to them.
[00:01:39]  Yet the Talmud has only bred a babble of rabbis who bicker with each other.
[00:01:44]  But the Church, the true Israel of God, is rich with prophets who tell us the future and how to prepare for it.
[00:01:52]  Not only is Judaism bankrupt, it's a religion of death.
[00:01:57]  As a child, I envy the Gentiles who celebrated the resurrection of Christ every Easter.
[00:02:03]  We only had Matzah and Moses, which freed us from slavery, so we could become slaves to money as doctors and lawyers.
[00:02:12]  But Matzah and Moses couldn't free us from death.
[00:02:16]  Only Jesus Christ could.
[00:02:19]  Judaism has no such Messiah who rose from the dead like Jesus Christ.
[00:02:23]  They thought Menachem Schneerson was their Mashiach who would rise from the dead.
[00:02:29]  But after standing around his grave for a week, they left him for a corpse.
[00:02:35]  Mourning the death of the Lubavitcher Rabbi has been difficult for his followers because most of them believed he would never die.
[00:02:41]  They still believe Rabbi Menachem Schneerson will be physically resurrected as Mashiach, the Messiah.
[00:02:48]  There is no need for a successor.
[00:02:50]  Rabbi is his own successor.
[00:02:52]  There will be certain clouds, heavenly clouds.
[00:02:56]  That will carry everybody to Jerusalem.
[00:03:00]  So you don't have to put your house up for sale or anything?
[00:03:02]  It says that all my ownership, everything that I own, will come with me.
[00:03:07]  The rabbi is going to rise up in his grave and come back to life?
[00:03:11]  Absolutely. A physical resurrection when he's going to come back in his full glory, imminently.
[00:03:16]  Never happened. Like Schneerson, Judaism's a corpse.
[00:03:20]  With no messiah, no kingship, no priesthood, no prophets, Judaism has no hope for this world or the next.
