Brother Nathanael - 12-11-2014 - Who Is The True Israel? Aired: 2020-05-24 Duration: 02:45 === Two Jerusalems, One Church (02:44) === [00:00:01] Who's the true Israel, the Israel of God? [00:00:04] If you look at a map, you won't find the Israel of God. [00:00:09] You'll only see the genocidal state of Israel. [00:00:12] What's the capital? [00:00:14] Tel Aviv or Jerusalem? [00:00:16] After sucking up the Sheldon Adelson, John Hagee says Jerusalem's the capital. [00:00:22] He's just a useful guy. [00:00:25] I consider the Adelsons some of the greatest citizens in the United States of America for all the good they do for this nation and the Jewish people around the world. [00:00:38] The fact is Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel for 3,000 years. [00:00:43] That's before Washington existed and before Barack Obama was a community organizer in Chicago. [00:00:50] You stupid ass! Jerusalem was not the sovereign capital of Israel for 3,000 years. [00:00:55] It was mostly a tributary of surrounding empires. [00:00:59] And here's your holy Jerusalem, Mr. [00:01:02] Hagee, spiritually called Sodom and Gomorrah. [00:01:06] That's right. In the New Testament book of the Revelation, the Jewish Jerusalem is called Sodom and Gomorrah. [00:01:14] More to the point, it's called Sodom and Egypt, citing the Old Testament enemies of the Israel of God. [00:01:21] The book of Revelation also shows Jewish Jerusalem to be the enemy of the Israel of God by identifying it as the place where Christ was crucified. [00:01:31] With no hope in sight, God soon destroyed the Jewish capital, described in Revelation as the woman drunk with the blood of Old and New Testament saints. [00:01:40] There are two Jerusalems, the Bible says. [00:01:43] The earthly Jerusalem, where Christ was crucified, and the heavenly Jerusalem, the church. [00:01:51] It was at the earthly Jerusalem that the Jews cried out, His blood be upon us and on our children, when demanding Pilate to crucify Christ. [00:02:01] Jerusalem became a river of blood, and the blood keeps on flowing. [00:02:06] The Israel of God, says St. [00:02:08] Paul in Galatians, is not made up of Jews who circumcise themselves and shed the blood of innocents. [00:02:14] It's made up of angels, saints, and Christians, God's new creation, who worship at the heavenly Jerusalem, the Church. [00:02:23] You are come to the heavenly Jerusalem, to a company of angels, to the Church of the Firstborn, to the spirits of just men made perfect, says St. [00:02:32] Paul in the book of Hebrews. [00:02:33] The Church is the Israel of God, not Jews, who St. [00:02:38] Paul calls the enemies of the Gospel. [00:02:41] The first Christians, most of them former Jews, understood this.
