00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a

00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. Thanks.

00:00:28.180 One of the big things that we need to understand is this.

00:00:32.260 As much as everything that takes place in the Old Testament,

00:00:36.600 whether it be in Genesis or Exodus or Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Numbers, Joshua, Judges,

00:00:42.720 as much as these things are about God fulfilling his good and prosperous promises that he made to Israel,

00:00:50.380 it is also about God fulfilling his promise of just and terrible judgments to those who are

00:00:59.340 against him. It's not just that God is fulfilling his promise to give to Israel an inheritance of

00:01:06.760 a land flowing with milk and honey. It's not just God's, merely God's focus on bringing Israel into

00:01:13.500 the promised land and doing good things for them. It is also about God expelling and destroying and

00:01:21.120 putting to death at the edge of the sword all those wicked inhabitants of the land of Canaan

00:01:26.000 who were previously there. It's important that we understand that. There are two things happening.

00:01:32.080 God is fulfilling good promises for Israel, and God is executing justice for all those pagan

00:01:39.060 nations who have been wicked and rebellious towards him. The reason why I want to drive

00:01:44.680 that point home is this. There is no nation like Israel today, including Israel. I would actually

00:01:53.800 say especially Israel. Israel today is further from Israel under the old covenant than most

00:02:01.320 western nations such as the United States of America. There is no nation today like Israel

00:02:08.200 under the Old Covenant. But there are many nations today like the Canaanites. So what I'm saying is

00:02:16.320 that God is not today fulfilling prophetic promises for a particular nation, a new Israel,

00:02:25.740 America, or whatever it might be, bringing them into a land of milk and honey. That's not happening.

00:02:30.680 but there is something that still happens today. God still decimates wicked nations today. That

00:02:39.740 was not unique. So the good things that God is doing, the prophecies that God is fulfilling

00:02:46.260 on behalf of his chosen people, Israel, in this old covenant time before the coming of Christ,

00:02:52.820 that's unique. That's not happening post-Christ and his earthly ministry 2,000 years ago.

00:02:59.500 In this church age, gospel age, New Testament age that we live in today, there is no substitute

00:03:06.940 for Israel. The United States of America has not replaced Israel. The nation state of Israel that

00:03:13.400 exists today is not a replacement of Israel, and it's nothing like it. Talmudic Judaism is not

00:03:19.720 Israel under the old covenant. Not even close. It's demonic. There's no, the England is not Israel.

00:03:26.240 france is not israel the sudan is not israel there is no the only replacement and replacement

00:03:32.880 would be a pejorative just for the record for you know dispensationalists and zionists would

00:03:37.380 use this kind of terminology to try to scare everybody that you're being and you know anti-semitic

00:03:42.940 if you hold to covenant theology which is 2 000 years it's the position that the church has held

00:03:47.940 okay but the the point is that the only replacement and again replacement being a pejorative the

00:03:54.560 actual word would be fulfillment. The only fulfillment of Israel, Old Testament, Old

00:04:00.660 Covenant Israel is not a nation, but the church. The church of Jesus Christ is Israel, not according

00:04:08.400 to the flesh, but according to the promise, according to the spirit, the church, you are

00:04:13.700 Israel in the truest, most eternal, spiritual, prophetic sense. You, if you are in Christ, you

00:04:22.640 are Israel. So again, there is no equivalent is what I'm trying to say in terms of a nation state,

00:04:29.540 a literal nation state today that would replace or be equivalent or be the fulfillment of the old

00:04:37.060 nation according to the flesh under the old covenant of Israel. But there are equivalents

00:04:43.460 to Canaan. There are equivalents to Amorite tribes. God is, there's two things going on

00:04:51.680 simultaneously. Two things can be true at once. God is fulfilling unique promises for Israel

00:04:57.240 according to the flesh, and that's not going on anymore today. But God's not only doing that.

00:05:03.200 He's not only blessing Israel. He is also using Israel as his instrument to execute destruction

00:05:12.080 and just judgment on Canaan. And that's something that God still does today. Absolutely, God still

00:05:21.200 does today.
