-
yeah you know as we go to talk about uh
-
Passover a little bit but we have said
-
such a long history of changing and
-
understanding our relationship with
-
Arabs you know it's going
-
back the first the first Arab Jewish
-
reconciliation meeting I was in was in
-
1979 i mean think about that that was
-
before a lot of you were born here but
-
and it's been a very difficult road to
-
try to understand it and it's a road
-
that uh takes a lot of revelation or a
-
lot of humility you know and I remember
-
just so many I mean hundreds of little
-
mountain peaks to get to that and one of
-
them I remember just reading that uh
-
Abraham had just been asking for his a
-
son and he didn't have it and the last
-
thing that happens before Abraham has a
-
son is he
-
prays "May Ish live before you." And I
-
realized that you know our whole desire
-
here is to see our people come to know
-
the Lord and that's that's our baby you
-
know and it was like I was just so wait
-
a minute that doesn't happen it's got to
-
happen to the sons of Ishmael first we
-
we come after that and I was just
-
sitting that whoa and so many things of
-
seeing us just to come to love them and
-
to be as a family and uh humbling
-
humbling ourselves first one of the
-
things also we learned in that was that
-
um the grace to be confident enough
-
about who we are to go to them and lift
-
them up first instead of being defensive
-
because a lot of over these decades we
-
Jewish people have been Messianic Jews
-
have been defensive about who we are and
-
so we've all tried to go in and just say
-
"Listen we don't need to do that we
-
we're coming to lift you up." And uh I
-
remember the first meeting when we came
-
to um when we came to uh Egypt and it
-
was it was tense i mean we had the
-
secret police around and all that kind
-
of stuff and uh and then there was
-
tension between tension between everyone
-
and they couldn't even say the names we
-
were they said "Well we we have a guest
-
from somewhere that we think you know
-
where it is and if you'd like to meet
-
there's maybe a room over there that you
-
were." So I thought "Well nobody's going
-
to get there." I got there and everybody
-
was there just everyone showed up and uh
-
first thing I did was just say "Look I
-
have something to tell you you know and
-
you could feel the tension you could
-
feel the mistrust you know and I just
-
got down on my knees and said you know
-
they're our brothers
-
we're sorry for whatever ways we've hurt
-
you you know and we just want to lift
-
you up and just serve you and come to an
-
end and you could just feel people you
-
know beginning to melt the walls
-
beginning to crack and just it would
-
just you could almost hear it in the
-
spirit you know the walls coming down
-
and and uh so it's been a long road of
-
just uh love and humility and
-
appreciation and uh realizing how much
-
physically we're the same family you
-
know and uh anyway that's a good
-
introduction to what we want to talk
-
about Passover which you have a lot of
-
the I mean talks about the destruction
-
of Egypt so we'll go and look at that
-
for a minute well let's uh this is uh
-
we're coming into the Passover
-
season so uh I want to talk a little bit
-
where we're at here in in Passover and
-
talk about a little bit of the kind of
-
the Jewish historical background to the
-
Passover um and you know I remember
-
there's so much connection between the
-
the of course the Passover story and the
-
story of the death and resurrection of
-
Yeshua there's so many i remember when
-
when
-
uh when we started teaching years ago
-
that it was uh we've got one of the
-
things we talk about uh Messiah and the
-
Passover and we would just go through
-
the Passover each thing and you if you
-
go through the Passover seder there's
-
something about Yeshua in every single
-
little part i'm not going to do that
-
today one part I'll show you in but but
-
it's uh the whole background is there
-
it's so much it's so much the same it's
-
uh it's amazing and of course it wasn't
-
that that's a coincidence yeshua was
-
crucified and raised in the Passover
-
that was part of the Passover it wasn't
-
a coincident that there's these two
-
parallel holidays you know that's not
-
what's going on he is a Passover you
-
know and um just uh one thing we always
-
used to teach about Yeshua being the the
-
afikomen you which is the piece of
-
matzah you get at the end where it's
-
broken and then it's hidden and at the
-
end it comes back up and then you eat
-
and it's I mean the symbolism is just
-
it's overbearing you know you think hey
-
you could be a little more subtle here
-
God but u but I I heard a teaching
-
recently from an ultraorthodox rabbi
-
here who doesn't like Yeshua but he was
-
saying that uh this is interesting The
-
word afikomen means uh really is like
-
the dessert the part that comes at the
-
end of of the and he said what happened
-
was that uh even the time of the temple
-
the the Passover lamb was very uh like
-
expensive it wasn't like people came and
-
ate this big meal with all this lamb in
-
it because they they would kill a lamb
-
and they would spread it out to people
-
so what according to the tradition now I
-
don't can't see this in the Bible what
-
they say is you would do the whole
-
Passover seder and the whole meal and
-
then you would get and you wouldn't that
-
wouldn't be the part where you actually
-
eat the lamb at the end of the meal they
-
would pass on everybody would take a
-
little bit of the lamb and that's when
-
you would eat the Passover part of the
-
lamb at the end of it and he said and
-
that became the afikomen that the
-
afikomen was the part that where they
-
would eat when the exile came they would
-
eat that at the end to say you are
-
eating This is what they say the
-
ultraorththodox you when you eat the
-
avioman you are eating the Passover
-
sacrifice now and you think about Yeshua
-
taking that hymn and saying this is my
-
body giving fruit i mean it's just I
-
mean the narratives are going on and
-
they can't even see it one another it's
-
so it's so overwhelming i was also
-
thinking about the whole thing about um
-
you know in all every door here in
-
Jerusalem you can see you know there's a
-
mizuza on the right side of the door
-
when you go in tilted slightly inwards
-
so it's when you go and you touch and
-
where does that come from we call that
-
the muza well that's not a muza the muza
-
is the door lentil and if you go to the
-
Passover course uh you put it on the top
-
and then on the lentil and the two and
-
the two door post so it's you have three
-
so whenever people come in Orthodox Jews
-
you'll see them they will always reach
-
out and touch and kiss and kiss the mus
-
as they come in but really since was up
-
on the on both sides what they really
-
should do is kiss it like that you know
-
but but I wouldn't I wouldn't say
-
anything that you know it wouldn't would
-
I mean the whole parallels are just so
-
outrageous that it's going to be I mean
-
it's going to be such a shock to
-
everybody on the Christian side and the
-
Jewish side when God just reveals this
-
when it all comes together and uh you
-
know wow in any
-
case but that's not what I'm talking
-
about today what I talk about let's pick
-
it up in uh the place when one way to
-
see the start of the Passover story is
-
in uh Exodus chapter 2 verse
-
23
-
[Music]
-
um and the children of Israel groaned
-
because of the bondage and they cried
-
out and their and their cry came up to
-
God because of their bondage and so God
-
hearing their groaning and God
-
remembered his covenant with Abraham
-
Isaac and Jacob so what you have here is
-
two things that people were groaning out
-
because they were in
-
slavery and being abused and they began
-
to cry out how much of that according to
-
the text how much were they really
-
crying out with that knowledgeably that
-
they were crying out to God or were they
-
just sort of crying out in their pain
-
it's not totally clear but anyway they
-
cried out and God took it as a prayer
-
isizak that word yizak is the same word
-
when like Morai Mori was was crying out
-
to God when it looked like everybody was
-
going to get killed it's it's a deep
-
deep
-
cry it's a deep cry to God when the
-
people were crying out to him so you see
-
God had to bring them down to a point
-
and and it it even says in
-
Hebrew it's from the from the um the
-
narrow plate the dire straits I called
-
out from the Lord and the word dire
-
straits there is the same name as the
-
root of Egypt mit if you can hear that
-
it has to do also with the Nile River
-
coming up into its straits but in in in
-
soy symbolically they're crying out from
-
that place and God had to bring our
-
people down that low so that they would
-
cry out to God and we believe that's
-
what God's going to do in the end times
-
he's moving us into that position that
-
the opposition that we see now is small
-
i mean it's going to get much worse
-
until our people cry out to God now our
-
people are really starting to cry out to
-
God we've had a half a revival since the
-
outbreak of this war uh the attack from
-
from Gaza and from Iran and the Hutim
-
and from the in Iraq and everything but
-
but we and the people are crying out so
-
we have had a half a revival here the
-
country is turning i mean you can see
-
people down people reading the psalms on
-
the on the streets and everybody's
-
talking about God atheists talk about
-
God praying i mean the atheists pray
-
here i don't know why it's really a
-
revival now we haven't haven't seen the
-
the the the uh of course the revelation
-
of that excuse me in Yeshua so much but
-
that's the next step so God's bringing
-
us this point of crying out it's really
-
it's really amazing thing but then he
-
says that God remembered his covenant
-
with Abraham Isaac and Jacob now
-
remember this is several hundred years
-
after that 400 years 300 years depending
-
how you count on it but it's it's saying
-
that the the the difficulty that they
-
were having in Egypt God came to them
-
because he remembered his covenant with
-
Abraham like if you remember God told
-
Abraham "You're going to go down to
-
Egypt and then I'm going to have to come
-
and save you afterwards in a in a couple
-
in four generations i'm going to come
-
down." So but from God's point of view
-
what happened with Moses and the
-
children of Israel in Egypt was just
-
following up on what God already did
-
with Abraham Isaac and Jacob and it was
-
a God said "I have a covenant with you
-
and it's continuing on and each time
-
when you come ready that you're ready to
-
step into the line of the covenant I'm
-
going to be there for you and so the the
-
uh we need to realize now you and I
-
we're stepping into that same line we
-
were just praying here uh with some some
-
of our pastors here from Israel and one
-
of them the pastor from I don't know if
-
you saw Leon was brilliant he said he
-
said "Well I realize what we're doing
-
here we're just stepping in to the same
-
storyline it started with Abraham Isaac
-
and Jacob we're just stepping into that
-
so it doesn't start with Moses it
-
started there with Abraham Isaac and
-
Jacob and then it came in and then this
-
is the fulfillment and then it goes on
-
in each generation and then it comes up
-
into the time of Yeshua and Yeshua comes
-
to be the Passover lamb and to redeem
-
our people and you know we said "Listen
-
I'm the Passover remember you had the
-
you ate mana in the wilderness and then
-
you died but now I'm going to give you
-
bread that you're not going to die." I
-
mean he saw himself he was stepping into
-
the line of the covenant coming up from
-
Abraham Isaac and Jacob to Moses to
-
David and he he was walking in that
-
history of course he was also there as
-
an angel of the Lord beforehand but so
-
he comes in that and we today and you as
-
you have made covenant with the God of
-
Abraham Isaac and Jacob through the son
-
of God through Yeshua the Messiah you
-
are walking into that as well we are all
-
stepping into that covenant i was just
-
thinking here that
-
uh and I have I haven't heard this this
-
is just the Holy Spirit speaking here
-
but when God made a covenant with
-
Abraham and he said "I'm going to send
-
your
-
children into Egypt because Egypt was
-
the great empire covering the whole
-
world at that point." Kind of like when
-
God sent the Apostle Paul to Rome he had
-
to go to the capital of the empire of
-
the world at that point the empire of
-
the world was Egypt and so he said "I
-
have to send you because you're here to
-
influence the whole world and so I'm
-
going to send you into the place of the
-
center of the world empire which was
-
which was Egypt so I have to send you
-
down there so you can be there now I'm
-
I'm going to make a covenant with you in
-
in Israel in the land of Canaan because
-
this is where I'm going to bring you
-
back to this is where I'll set up my
-
kingdom will be here from the land of
-
Canaan but right now the world kingdom
-
is there i've got to send you down there
-
and so they he went down their children
-
went down there and of course the one
-
who basic primarily went there was
-
Jacob's son Joseph and when Joseph was
-
there God blessed the nation of
-
Egypt so much so because of
-
Joseph they did not become the richest
-
nation in the
-
world they had all the money in the
-
world there wasn't any money anywhere
-
else except them that's more than being
-
wealthy because of Joseph Joseph
-
gathered all of the money in the world
-
to come in and that was blessing this
-
Egyptian kingdom and and the people of
-
Israel were there i mean they were his
-
they were his family and I just realized
-
now I I don't know if I can prove this
-
i'm just hearing this in my heart but we
-
can check it in the scriptures later
-
that what happened was I'm realizing
-
that the Jewish people there became to
-
be the elite of Egypt
-
they be I mean these were these were
-
Joseph's relatives they became the
-
wealthy the elite the they were the and
-
and and that caused jealousy and anger
-
among the Egyptians so then in another
-
generation if they forgot Joseph they
-
went to enslave the people now that was
-
their sin but it was also God saying I'm
-
just kind of imagining this here as I
-
know our people that when we went became
-
wealthy and elite and all that guess who
-
we forgot
-
someone we forgot
-
someone god didn't forget you know we
-
forgot someone and God said "Well you
-
got you forgot me well maybe we need to
-
do a little something else to lower you
-
down until you cry out to me." Now I
-
haven't forgotten well when you get down
-
when you cry out to me then I'll
-
remember the covenant i haven't forg the
-
one that's forgotten not me you're the
-
one that's remembering that and when you
-
come out and when I bring you down to
-
that level then I can come in and save
-
you on the basis of that and then he
-
went and then to brought and bring them
-
out but he was following up on the
-
covenant and he went and he started the
-
covenant with Abraham sent them down
-
into the world empire now at that point
-
of course we see that he's brought the
-
Jewish people out in a certain sense he
-
just brought the people he brought the
-
church out because there were people
-
from all different nations that came
-
there that started to believe in the God
-
of Abraham Isaac and Jacob and so really
-
was that the people of Israel or was
-
that the eklesia it was really the same
-
there wasn't any different today there
-
isn't any difference either that's been
-
divided culturally in history that's not
-
true in God's eyes was one people of God
-
so they see he went to bring the people
-
of God out of the world empire at that
-
point which was Egypt now it also means
-
God is revealing his hand here of coming
-
in favor of an oppressed people group
-
forget for a moment that they were
-
Jewish or believers in God whatever but
-
this was he's coming to redeem a group
-
of people that had been brutally
-
oppressed by by by a tyrant dictatorship
-
by a demonic government the the
-
government was so demonic we can't even
-
imagine how demonic this was i mean you
-
you may not like certain politicians but
-
they don't go around wearing snakes on
-
their heads i mean these guys were
-
really demonic and they had cabinet
-
meetings where they would you know throw
-
sticks on the ground and turn them into
-
snakes i mean these guys were bad you
-
know so but then God God delivered them
-
delivered and oppressed people and God
-
saying now I want you to know who I am
-
remember he came to Moses you never seen
-
me this way there wasn't an opportunity
-
of that word said you've you've known me
-
as El Shadai now you're going to know
-
know me as Jehovah he said I'm going to
-
come in here and you're going to watch
-
and I am going to take down
-
single-handedly through you Moses and
-
he's going "No no find somebody else i'm
-
going to take down the entire world
-
empire and bring out the oppressed
-
people the slave people." I mean it it's
-
a story of of deliverance and the poor
-
being rescued from the hands of tyrants
-
i mean it was it I mean it's it you know
-
the the the black spirituals in the
-
United States were all they saw
-
themselves as goland you know coming out
-
and being delivered every poor every
-
poor people group that's being suffered
-
by tyrants they should look at that
-
story that's there that's the great
-
story of liberation of any people group
-
anywhere around the world and so God
-
said now you're going to see what I'm
-
like I'm going to take down the world
-
empire and I'm going to deliver the
-
oppressed people that's God that's the
-
God we we
-
serve What an amazing
-
thing so that was part of the pro the
-
part of the Passover was to was to bring
-
them out of that now when Moses went in
-
there it's hard to figure out exactly
-
how much time it took as I look at it
-
the 10 plagues you know maybe they maybe
-
they were about a week apart maybe so it
-
maybe was it 3 months something like
-
that there was a process of time where
-
this huge empire collapsed before this
-
one man coming in this was the greatest
-
empire of the world maybe greater than
-
any empire we've ever seen since then
-
they were they ruled for hundreds of
-
years and he came in and he prophesied
-
to them and and he he brought that
-
empire down so there was not there was
-
the story of spiritual deliverance but
-
there was also the story of destroying
-
the empires of this world it was an
-
empire clash i mean this was like Star
-
Wars you know it's it's coming this is a
-
clash of the kingdoms all right which
-
brings us to next let's go up this now
-
let's look at uh let's go to Genesis to
-
uh um Exodus 12 now Exodus
-
[Music]
-
12:12 on the other night for I will pass
-
through the land of Egypt and on that
-
night I will strike all the firstborn in
-
the land of Egypt both man and beast and
-
against all the gods of Egypt I will
-
execute judgment so what happened here
-
there was two levels of of the judgment
-
that was coming one was on the people of
-
Egypt for their sin and the other one
-
was the was the gods of Egypt no they're
-
not gods what he means with the gods in
-
that language is fallen angels who who
-
the people of Egypt worshiped and they
-
became the the gods over the over the
-
land of Egypt and through Egypt they
-
ruled the whole world so there were
-
demonic principalities of darkness
-
ruling the entire world at that time and
-
also had all the money that Joseph
-
brought into them and God said now I'm
-
going to come in and I'm going to punish
-
the people but I'm also going to bring
-
bring judgment against the gods the gods
-
of this world and so what he did each of
-
the 10 plagues was a judgment against
-
one of the gods of Egypt so it was he
-
was breaking down and he was what he was
-
destroying that demonic religion step by
-
step bringing it down and he was
-
educating both the Egyptians and the
-
Israelites and the multi multitudes of
-
people he was executing judgment upon
-
them to be able to set them free now
-
that's what God's going to do in the end
-
times god's setting this all up again so
-
that God's going to bring judgment to
-
the demonic powers and principalities of
-
this world and he's bringing into this
-
case i mean we we realize that uh you
-
know I I wrote this in a hashtag you
-
know love Arabs hate hate jihad you know
-
we love the Arab people we hate the
-
demonic spirits that are
-
overbal and kamas and the ayatos and the
-
and
-
and that's not Arabs those are demonic
-
spirits we want to see our Arab cousins
-
set free so that but they have to have
-
these demonic spirits broken off of them
-
and of course those demonic spirits
-
attack more Arabs than they do Jews i
-
mean the number of Jews have been killed
-
through through jihadism is less than 1%
-
of the number of Arabs that have been
-
killed in the Middle East i mean it's
-
not even one I mean it's not even
-
onetenth of 1% i mean jihad is is
-
killing Arabs more than it's killing
-
Jews we love them we the more we really
-
loved Arabs i mean I think about it if
-
we could as much as we love Arabs if we
-
could love them even
-
more we would want to just whip Kamas
-
and and whip them to shred shreds to set
-
the people free the reason why there
-
is freedom in Lebanon to preach the
-
gospel right now is because they've been
-
terrified by for the last 30 years they
-
haven't been able to do anything and now
-
what happened was thank God by our army
-
we took down their power they don't the
-
people they're not afraid of them
-
anymore and they weren't afraid of them
-
up until two months
-
ago and and but not only that that was
-
our but there's two levels of the
-
warfare okay that was our bombers but it
-
was your prayers that took down the
-
demonic the demonic forces that were
-
over there the air is clear there now
-
the air has been cleared out they don't
-
feel the we could come back we have to
-
keep fighting but the thing is we need
-
to take down the demonic forces that are
-
there with now there's also an
-
expression in rebbitic
-
Judaism he said the last redemption will
-
be like the first one meaning that
-
what's going to happen in the end times
-
it will be deliverance like it was in
-
the time of Egypt that you have the the
-
pharaoh is an antichrist figure the
-
demons there will be judgment coming and
-
then setting the people free uh my
-
friend Dan Jester wrote a great book
-
about that
-
called the Passover key um Revelation
-
describing the book of Revelation
-
comparing it to the story of the the
-
Passover but so there is coming God
-
wants to punish the people of the world
-
that have sinned but also bring judgment
-
against the demonic powers of this world
-
and bring that judgment so that the
-
people can get set free so that they can
-
be brought out from that um and of
-
course all this happens with blood it
-
happens by the blood of Yeshua he gave
-
his blood for us look these are powerful
-
forces these are not just some lukewarm
-
prayers we're going to get are going to
-
beat this you're talking about Yeshua
-
gave his blood and soldiers have given
-
their blood and hostages have given
-
their blood and and people and Arabs and
-
Jews have given their blood here arab
-
Christians have given their blood and
-
it's it's this is a bloody situation
-
blood blood being poured out has a
-
spiritual power that can bring down
-
demonic strongholds and it's by the
-
blood of Yeshua but when we believe in
-
it I mean you're to say you believe in
-
the blood of Yeshua is saying Yeshua
-
said will you drink the cup that I drink
-
I mean you you're saying I'm putting my
-
blood on the line if I believe in this
-
this is stuff this is a this is a a
-
bloody battle you know and a lot of
-
people are going to get killed and and
-
we need to realize it but that's part of
-
breaking these demonic strongholds and
-
setting people free so there was also
-
here a clash of a kingdom
-
now
-
okay so when the people of Israel came
-
out God would have sent them immediately
-
into Israel but they weren't ready they
-
weren't ready to
-
fight they weren't ready to
-
fight so they had to go wander around
-
the wilderness until they're ready to
-
fight i feel that with me i mean there's
-
things as you know I came to the Lord to
-
love you know i mean it was it was just
-
kind
-
of I like to love you know i I didn't
-
come up I didn't come here to fight you
-
know it's but he said "Listen if you
-
you're not willing to fight it's you
-
can't bring the kingdom." But after they
-
learned that then they came into the
-
land of Canaan what happened was there
-
was the the evil empire and out of that
-
evil empire God took a people and
-
brought them into the promised land and
-
set up a different kingdom which became
-
the kingdom of David to which the Yeshua
-
was born to do you see that it's a clash
-
of kingdoms the word comes in to the
-
people in the evil kingdom that are
-
willing to hear they become an ecclesia
-
they become a group of people who can
-
taken out of the evil empire of this
-
world the evil empire gets destroyed
-
they're brought into the promised land
-
and set up a new kingdom which is to
-
rule the world in the end time in the in
-
in the early days that was of course
-
David's kingdom but now that was just a
-
physical model of what God wants to do
-
to bring out of the evil kingdoms of
-
this world a people of God and we will
-
set up his kingdom and Yeshua will be
-
ruling but he's also going to be ruling
-
from here that's why we have this place
-
so you can see where he's going to come
-
to where he's going to come back to and
-
where he's going to rule from right out
-
of this window that window right there
-
is where he's going to come back to that
-
window right there is where he's going
-
to rule from but but we So the what
-
happens is there's an evil empire ruling
-
over the world god wants to crush those
-
evil empires and make a people of faith
-
a minority people of faith in all those
-
empires and then bring them out and so
-
out of Egypt came Israel and set up the
-
Israel empire under David and all the
-
people of the world now are going to
-
come out and join the eklesia and join
-
themselves to Israel and come in and we
-
will come here and set up the kingdom
-
for Yeshua to come and rule and reign
-
that's the story of what's going on it's
-
a clash of
-
kingdoms to bring the kingdom of God
-
upon the earth now we're not we're not
-
so much in a political war or a military
-
war that's secondary we have a political
-
war and a military war but it's
-
secondary we first have the war you know
-
in the heavenlies but Yeshua will come
-
back when Yeshua comes back he fights a
-
war it's the same two
-
levels i'm learning a lot here i haven't
-
just Thank you
-
Lord hallelujah when Yeshua comes back
-
he comes in with an angel angelic army
-
and he first fights the war in the
-
heavenlies
-
he defeats the the demonic ang the
-
demonic armies and then he comes down
-
and defeats the human armies that are
-
that are coming against you so he he
-
fights both of those battles coming back
-
and to set up his kingdom uh upon the
-
earth so there is there's this there's
-
this clash of the kingdoms that happens
-
in the Passover and for that to happen
-
comes out of the the Passover lamb to
-
bring the redemption so he's got to come
-
to bring the pass he's got to be the
-
Passover lamb to be able to to bring the
-
redemption as we sang this morning he
-
came as a lamb he's coming back as a
-
lion
-
now I
-
remember I was the second or third time
-
that it was in in Egypt that uh uh we
-
were at a place right on the Nile River
-
and uh at 3:00 in the morning the Lord
-
told me "Get up i want you to go down to
-
the Nile River and
-
pray." You know so I said "Is he sure
-
that to you Lord?" But anyway I so I got
-
I kind of went down went down and sat on
-
the bank of the Nile River and just
-
making a prayer i said "Okay Lord what
-
do you want to show me here?" And uh I
-
don't know if you ever been to Egypt but
-
the Nile is a beautiful river oh my
-
goodness it's huge i mean you know the
-
Jordan you can basically spit across the
-
other side of the Jordan but this is a
-
big beautiful river you know and and I'm
-
looking and I'm saying I thought you
-
know it doesn't make any sense this big
-
river egypt ought to be incredibly
-
wealthy nation how can you have this big
-
huge river this wealthy river running
-
through the center of Egyp Egypt and you
-
go out a couple hundred meters from it
-
and then everything turns to desert i
-
said "It's like there's a curse on this
-
thing." And I'm looking at the water
-
i said "You
-
realize that there's bones of Jewish
-
babies still on the bottom of that
-
river?" Ah oh my
-
goodness the blood of the covenant god
-
hasn't forgotten
-
that and he said "Well let's start to
-
play let's start to pray and let's try
-
to break this curse off of Egypt." We
-
brought together Messian Jews from
-
Israel and local Arab Christians we
-
began to pray to break those curses off
-
and so we we want to see that but it's
-
got to come by faith it's kind of gone
-
by real faith you know and but God wants
-
to bring things into this world to break
-
the curses of this world and to bring
-
the kingdom the the the you have the
-
first Passover and then you have Yeshua
-
coming and bringing us eternal life but
-
all that is leading to the point that in
-
there's an end times Passover story
-
coming that is a clash of kingdoms that
-
will be that is is huge now
-
um so really in some ways the first
-
empire the world empire the first empire
-
was Egypt the second
-
empire was
-
Israel what was the third empire do you
-
remember israel was conquered by
-
huh
-
assyria and then and then Assyria was
-
conquered by Babylon and then Babylon
-
was conquered by the Persians and the
-
Persians were conquered by the Greeks
-
and the Greeks were conquered by the
-
Romans and then Islam conquered the
-
Roman Empire and then and then so all
-
this is a clash of kingdoms that started
-
there now the Passover the Passover
-
seder I'm going to do one more thing
-
here and we'll
-
close the Passover Seder ends up with a
-
little children's rhyme i don't know if
-
you've heard that it's
-
called Anybody that's was brought up
-
Jewish knows it
-
because anyway it's a little children's
-
story and it goes like this the father
-
bought a kid goat with two with two
-
coins and then and then it says "And
-
then a cat came and ate the kid the kid
-
goat and then a dog came and beat the
-
cat and then a stick came and beat the
-
dog and then a fire came and burned up
-
the stick and then water came and put
-
out the fire and then an ox came and
-
drank up the water and then the butcher
-
came and killed the ox and then the
-
angel of death
-
came and killed
-
the the butcher and then the holy one
-
blessed be he came and killed the angel
-
of death that's a song that we sing it's
-
kind of fun because it repeats and you
-
got to repeat it real
-
fast isn't that kind of
-
cute you like
-
that here's what it here's what it means
-
in mystic Judaism this is a mystic story
-
most people don't know it this is is
-
it's a it's a mystic it's a it's written
-
by it's come from a a mystic
-
understanding here's what it is the
-
father that brought the kid is the
-
heavenly father the little goat is the
-
people of Israel the two coins are the
-
two tablets of the law at Si
-
father bought a little kid the two
-
coins and then the cat came and killed
-
the goat israel was attacked by
-
Amalcch and then the dog came bit lit
-
the cat and then Assyria came and
-
conquered Amalcch and then the stick
-
comes and hits the dog which is Babylon
-
conquering Assyria and then the fire
-
burns up the stick which is Persia
-
burning up Babylon and the water comes
-
and puts out the fire which is Greece
-
conquering you know Alexander the Greek
-
conquering Persia and the and then the
-
ox comes which is Rome coming and drinks
-
up the water then Rome conquers the
-
world that's right when Yeshua was
-
born then the butcher comes that's Islam
-
coming to kill and then the angel of
-
death comes that is Gog and Magog who
-
come to kill Islam now actually there
-
are two ways of looking at that the
-
other one is that it's not Gog and
-
Magog but the angel of death is
-
Christianity that's how it's seen in the
-
in the Orthodox Jewish world you know so
-
and here they get confused so well is
-
this is this Christianity or is this Gog
-
and Magog or what is it and it's and
-
it's it and then and um but then the the
-
the so you saying what what if you look
-
in Gog and Magog who is that part of
-
there was it's interesting also that uh
-
the uh there's another uh this is very
-
mystic but see if you can get this when
-
when
-
God kills the angel of death this is not
-
Christian thought this is Jewish
-
mystical thought so try to it's a
-
different set of logic he He kills him
-
as a butcher meaning he cuts him in half
-
and who was the bad angel the angel of
-
death the bad part gets killed and then
-
the good part comes out and he becomes
-
the angel of life comes out of killing
-
the angel of death and he becomes and
-
that's the coming of the Messiah coming
-
out i'm
-
thinking something is going to happen
-
here i mean there's a revelation coming
-
to our people but uh what I want you to
-
see here is that um how our people see
-
it see history as just a series of
-
persecutions our people see it only as a
-
series of persecution against us there's
-
other things about that which I don't
-
have time to get in that today but there
-
is a series of persecutions in it
-
against the Jewish people but it's
-
really against the kingdom of God
-
there's a clash of kingdoms that the
-
kingdoms of this world are always trying
-
to destroy the kingdom of God but in the
-
end there's going to come this huge
-
clash which will yes end up at the time
-
of the whether you want to call it Gog
-
or Gog and Magog or Armad Armageddon and
-
the last great war when Yeshua comes
-
back it's going to de this is where the
-
human history is heading for a huge
-
clash of kingdoms that's going to be
-
like and God is going to bring the
-
judgments of this world why do you think
-
that there is talk in the book of
-
Revelation about plagues coming again
-
this is the whole what God did to Egypt
-
in ancient Passover he's going to do the
-
kingdoms of this world in the end times
-
and there's going to be the Antichrist
-
is going to just be a Pharaoh multiplied
-
hundred over and he's going to take over
-
the world and there is going to be a a a
-
clash of kingdoms but we as the people
-
of God we need to stand there in faith
-
like the like not to not not not get
-
taken out of here and live in heaven
-
come on we're going to be in goan land
-
will be protected by God during this
-
time so we can pray so we can stand like
-
Moses and Aaron and we and we will be
-
praying to bring the righteous judgments
-
of God against the kingdoms of this
-
world and the demonic godheads that are
-
over them so that the people of God will
-
be revealed and take the kingdom and
-
that's what Passover is all about amen
-
amen so
-
father Amen and father we just thank you
-
that this story that begins with Abraham
-
and you are goes up through Moses
-
through David through Yeshua through the
-
spread of the gospel around the world
-
coming back to the restoration of Israel
-
the reestablishment of the messianic
-
movement that joining into one of Israel
-
and the church in the olive tree and
-
then releasing your world revival in the
-
end times and breaking down the kingdoms
-
of this world we thank you for that we
-
thank you Lord that we get a part to
-
play in this storyline hallelujah in
-
Yeshua's name amen amen amen thank you
-
amen
