Shocking Truth About Israel Every Christian Needs to Know!

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Welcome back and thank you Brian Sanders for doing this podcast to tell me about this exciting new film

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,440
Why stand with Israel?

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,880
Well, thank you see there for having me on your podcast

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,480
Well, this has been an eight and a half year a film in the making but with God's perfect timing

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,760
We were able to release it on Israel's birthday this year on May 14th

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:29,480
And so what our film is all about is to educate and inspire the global church to live out their biblical

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,080
Responsibility to stand with Israel and so when I first started this project

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,480
I saw all the lies myths and misconceptions about Israel. I also I

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,680
also was

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,580
Had replacement theology in me and that is that notion that the church somehow believes that God will placed his

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,680
Covenantal people land he made an everlasting covenant with and I didn't even realize I had it

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,360
and so at the time I was in Israel covering president Obama's visit with the Christian broadcasting network and

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,240
After president Obama left a dear friend of mine and I had a healthy

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,640
Theological Christian debate and then afterwards he graciously said to me Brian

15
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:16,440
You may have some replacement theology in you and honestly Steven. I had no idea what that was at the time

16
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,000
This was over 10 years good about 11 years ago

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,880
And what I thought it was that I thought I might have add or subtracted from God's Word or did I take it out of?

18
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,560
Context like someone must do or even spoken error of God's Word and that's not exactly what replacement theology is

19
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,080
I mean is speaking in error

20
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,040
But what I did was I realized I was saying some of the things a church

21
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,640
I was going to at the time that Israel was stiff-necked and that God somehow

22
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,600
replaced and moved on from his covenantal people and chose this new people group known as the Gentile Church

23
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Because he accepted his son, you know that is contrary to God's Word and contrary to God himself in his character

24
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:02,720
and so I've also found that I wasn't alone a majority of the church actually is

25
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:09,920
Has replacement theology that is still prevalent today. And as you saw in the film our dear friends at Lifeway Christian research

26
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:14,920
Our pastors provided us this amazing survey of how much the church is riding the fence

27
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:17,920
Oh, where they stand with Israel because of replacement theology

28
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,160
Well, I think what you're doing is very important

29
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:28,720
We at Charisma have supported Israel and written about Israel and involved in Christians United for Israel and

30
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,760
Rallies and everything else and I've seen hearts change

31
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:38,960
Often by hearing a rousing speaker or something like that, you know in an auditorium

32
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,480
But you know, that's pretty slow

33
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,680
So how did you get the idea of doing this by film because the film is very effective very professional

34
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Makes a very strong case

35
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:57,600
But you don't or maybe maybe you do and I misunderstood but you seem to all you know

36
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Even with the title why support Israel?

37
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:06,200
It's not like you're trying to trick them into watching something and then kind of get the message in I mean you are in a very

38
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,680
professional way very straightforward to tell people why they should believe in Israel and

39
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,800
So tell me what kind of response that you're getting

40
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,920
Well, we began why I said with Israel. I had to answer the question. Not just biblically

41
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:26,800
I've been in radio TV and film for over 30 years and about even though I'm a technical guy

42
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:33,480
I'm a child of God first off and that's the most important thing that I get the word of God wonder 100% accurate

43
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,520
But there's also skeptics as you know in the church and outside of the church

44
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,720
So if you don't believe God gave in the land what happened in history?

45
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:47,200
What happened at the Belfort Declaration the British mandate of Palestine and better yet the

46
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:54,920
The UN partition plan where all the nations came together and they casted a vote 33 were in favor of saying yes to give the

47
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,600
Jewish people their own national homeland 13 said no and 10 abstained

48
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:06,400
So I realized not only do I have to share God's heart through his word, but I have to take him back in history that the nations

49
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,520
Provided an opportunity of vote for the Jewish people that are national

50
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,360
National homeland and then I had to deal with what is going on currently today

51
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Geopolitically that affects the church or so the so-called watch them on the wall that could be praying intentionally

52
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:29,560
For everything that's happening on it in Israel today as you know after October 7th the church was still silent

53
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,280
We were the majority of the church

54
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:38,280
I mean in during the Holocaust was silent and even today Steven as you see this church is still silent and that can't be

55
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,760
Why are we still silent with this people that we have been grafted in with and I realized that as a major

56
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:49,560
Disconnect within the church, you know, it's great that we're all about doing our programs

57
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:56,120
But if we're not concerned about the place where God sent his only son to and where he's coming back to

58
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:03,360
And when a family member like Israel and the Jewish people have been barbarically attacked on October 7th

59
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,760
And yet we're still turning a blind eye or hey, that's not in our area

60
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:13,040
It's not affecting our church mission and what it's not a value of importance

61
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,120
There's something wrong with that. I mean Jesus is the head of our church. We're the broads

62
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,160
Of Christ, but I believe his father wants the bride of Christ to be standing with his first betrothed bride

63
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:30,280
And that's the Jewish people in the nation of Israel now more than ever and so we can't continue to keep going on with that as we

64
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:35,160
Pray and I can't wait to see Yeshua Jesus come back without even

65
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:42,440
Honoring or acknowledging his people or his family or his neighbors that he was sent to and just let that go under

66
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,880
you know under the bridge and not even give any prayer or or

67
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,880
attention to it

68
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,800
Well, I agree with you and instead of telling I want us to show so let's watch

69
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,080
A short trailer so people can see what you're talking about

70
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:04,120
Then I want to drill down a little bit and find out about you and find out about the dream and the vision that you had

71
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:16,120
to produce this film

72
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Oh

73
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:42,120
I'm flying

74
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,720
Israel known as the apple of god's eye

75
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:09,160
This is god's land. This is probably the only country that has a deed signed by god where he gave it to a specific

76
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,720
People group and put them in a land for one reason and that is to bless the entire world

77
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:22,600
But to Israel's enemies they're known as an apartheid state and an occupier of the land

78
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:29,880
You know Psalm 2 1 says why do the nations rage and certainly now there's even greater rage against the nation of

79
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,000
Israel and the jewish people from the united nations to many other independent nations around the world

80
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,440
There is no group of people that has been more abused

81
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,720
more persecuted on a continual basis than jewish people

82
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,200
globally

83
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:53,320
They're hated by everybody even the church has adopted an anti-semitic teaching contrary to god's word

84
00:07:53,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Replacement theology is one of the greatest obstacles that we have to bringing the gospel here to our jewish people

85
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,040
and proclaiming it because it says that

86
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Israel has been replaced with the church

87
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,280
When we get Israel out of the equation we miss a big part of god's plan of salvation

88
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:19,880
As Christians we love god and we want to love him with all of our hearts with all of our being

89
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,640
But we also have to love what he loves and he has chosen to love a very special nation

90
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,080
If we're going to love god, we must love the nation of Israel

91
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:39,080
That is so well done. Why don't you tell us now what gave you the idea? What was your vision to produce this film?

92
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Well, thank you for your kind words about our trailer. Well, I realized that

93
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,400
When I learned I came out of replacement theology and realized I wasn't alone

94
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:55,880
I kind of did this internal survey talked to local pastors where I was living in Colorado Springs at the time

95
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,320
and even other believers other friends of mine that went to

96
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:06,040
Bible college and seminary and I realized there there is a disconnect within the church and I thought

97
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,480
How could this possibly be? Now? I knew I had that too because of replacement theology

98
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:17,400
But I realized the father was impressing on me that this is rapid throughout the global church

99
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,760
And I thought more there has to be a vehicle or lane that we can get your heart

100
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Your covenantal promises into the church of why you chose your beloved people land and made this

101
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Everlasting covenant with who we've been grafted in with and then he showed me this vision of a film

102
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:44,360
That is now extended to a film series. So it's a continual education to educate and inspire the global church

103
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,600
To live out their biblical responsibility to stand with Israel and as you know, Stephen, there are many scriptures to back that up

104
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:57,160
So why does your vision for this series and when will the next one come out?

105
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:04,680
Well, we're trying to translate our film in every language because our target audience is the global church

106
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:10,040
And so how do we do that? Well, we have to get this film and and everyone's native language

107
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,240
And so if the gospel is for everyone we believe this film is for everyone as well

108
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,120
Because it's allowing them to see god's heart on display for his beloved people land

109
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,160
He made an everlasting covenant covenant with and you know

110
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:29,160
This is the only nation of people he has these endearment nicknames the apple of my eye my treasure possession

111
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:32,200
And yet that there's still a disconnect within the church

112
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,000
So we're hoping to translate all of our on this film into every tribe and every tongue

113
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
So every language and people group can see god's heart on display

114
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,680
And we also want to provide a study guide hopefully by the end of this year

115
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:51,480
And then after that we're looking and to going into why stand with israel too, which is israel and the biblical feast

116
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,000
Which we're about to embark on as it says in leviticus

117
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:01,900
25 23 and that's you know the fall feast the rosh Hashanah feast of trumpets yom teruah Passover

118
00:11:02,300 --> 00:11:09,340
I want to educate believers that yeshu would jesus celebrate all of his father's feast in leviticus 23

119
00:11:09,660 --> 00:11:14,620
And he also honored the mosaic covenant and I feel like using israel as the example horse

120
00:11:14,780 --> 00:11:19,340
Who is so obedient in following his moedim his appointed times?

121
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:22,540
I think it'd be important for the church to understand that as well

122
00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:25,900
You know I want people to connect with you and your film

123
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:29,180
That's why I invited you on the podcast because over the years

124
00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:34,700
Charisma has connected a lot of people a lot of ministries and I think it's so important what you're doing

125
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:39,100
So how can people see it themselves? How can they order it?

126
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:41,980
Is this something that can be shown at their church?

127
00:11:41,980 --> 00:11:45,500
How can we connect you with the people that are watching today?

128
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:48,060
Absolutely. Thank you, Steve, for that question

Absolutely in my honor

145
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:15,120
Father god, abedadi we um, we just come before you and we ask for god, uh that you would

146
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,720
We come to agree with with uh your people that you grafted us into and your land

147
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,720
You made an everlasting covenant with lord god and I just pray in this hour in this minute right now

148
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,880
That the global church eyes would be opened to your heart

149
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,880
For your promises for your beloved people land you made an everlasting covenant with lord god

150
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,200
I pray you remove the blinders

151
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,960
Over the church that I once had because of replacement theology lord god so they can truly see

152
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:54,160
Why you call them to be the apple of your eye your treasured possession and father that they can fully grasp your full redemption plan

153
00:13:54,400 --> 00:14:00,720
And that includes the jewish people in the nation of israel or I pray that you would put a burden on the church's heart

154
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:07,680
To stand right now with israel who needs our support who is being barbarically attacked by their enemies

155
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:13,760
All around them and also, uh international councils that are coming against them on a daily basis

156
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:20,080
We're seeing anti-semitism at an all-time high since the holocaust. It's rampant on our college campuses

157
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,400
And it's in our governments and it's in

158
00:14:22,860 --> 00:14:28,000
uh institutions all over our country and throughout the world board I pray you would

159
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,680
Quicken the uh the church to rise up and take their

160
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,960
A biblical position right now and stand with your covenantal people on land lord god

161
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,880
I pray you would give them no rest as we we cry out what it says in isaiah to give you no rest until

162
00:14:43,260 --> 00:14:48,240
Jerusalem becomes the praise in the earth or to god so father in this hour

163
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,840
I pray that the church would boldly stand with your people on land like never before

164
00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:00,400
And that you would get all the glory because of it. I ask this all in ishua. Jesus' name. Amen and amen
