This is a message from Pastor Adam Fannin of Law of Liberty Baptist Church in Jacksonville, FL. I never listened to Pastor Fannin before. I think he’s a great teacher and did an excellent job in teaching this Bible class. It’s a Bible study rather than preaching a sermon. And I think in the light of current events this message is important. The government of Israel could not exist without military support from the USA, and sad to say the majority of American evangelicals only encourage American military support for Israel because they believe by doing so they are supporting “God’s people.” Pastor Fannin clearly brings out why this is wrong according to the Bible.

Transcription

The Bible says you have to bless Israel or God won’t bless you. How many of you have heard something like that? We have to bless Israel if we want God to bless us. What’s interesting about this is most people that say this never back it up with Scripture.

And I want to challenge your beliefs in this video. I want to challenge you to look at the Bible and stand on the Word of God alone. I want to challenge you to get rid of any man-made traditions that may contradict, any doctrines that are divisive, namely dispensationalism or Zionism.

I want to talk about what the Bible actually says. Many people treat the modern day nation of Israel as if they were some sort of a lucky rabbit’s foot. And even though they are anti-Jesus, anti-Christ, anti-Christian, the modern day nation of Israel, we’re supposed to bless them? And we’re being told that the Bible says this. But did you know the Bible doesn’t say anywhere to bless Israel?

And I want to show you this. I’m going to back it up with the Bible. And I want you to watch this with an open mind. I want to challenge you that are on the fence that say, “well, aren’t they God’s chosen people?” Well, if you didn’t choose Christ, whose people are you? “Well, don’t they have the bloodline?” Well, what if they don’t? “Well, don’t they read the first five books of the Old Testament?” Well, what if they don’t?

And I want to show you a few things. And I’m just praying that the Holy Spirit will work in your heart right now and be able to use the Scriptures that we’re about to talk about. And I want to show you some history. And I just hope that this changes your perspective on who the real Israel is.

I believe most Christians have been duped. We’re believing in the wrong Israel. There’s a fake Israel. There are fake Jews. There’s fake news with a fake language. A fake holy book with a fake gospel. And many fake Christians are crying the loudest saying, we have to help them build the third temple.

I want to go to step number one, which is Genesis 12. Many people will reference Genesis 12 when they say, it says to bless Israel or to bless the Jews.

By the way, the word Jews is not a racist term. It’s a religion. And I want to be clear before we get into the Scripture. Judaism is a false religion, and the people that believe it need to be saved by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Any ethnicity of whether they be Semitic from Shem or of the tribe of Judah or perhaps of any of the nation, the 12 tribes of Israel, they need to be saved by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as much as a Palestinian, an Arab, a Muslim, they need to be saved.

And so I want to be clear here. I’m not a racist. God hates racism. God absolutely despises racism. He’s not a respecter of persons. He made all nations of one blood. I share blood with the Muslim Palestinian and with the Jewish, whether they be European or Arabic, Semitic. We all share the same blood.

And so I want to look at the Scriptures. I want to challenge you in what you believe. Here in Genesis chapter 12, he tells us, “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

Now here’s the thing. This is the King James Bible, which is, I believe, the sharpest sword, okay? So, thee is singular. That’s one person. Thee, thou, thine is all one person. But when you get into you or ye, or as we say in the South, y’all, that’s plural. So the Bible is actually more clear that we can see when you’re speaking to a multitude, a group, or to an individual. So when you see this passage, I will bless them that bless thee, that’s one person.

You say, “well, what person?” Well, this is Abram. He wasn’t even called Abraham. This is Abram at this point. “I will make of thee a great nation.” So we do see a promise of a multitude of people. This would have been biblical Israel, which is different than the modern-day nation of Israel. And I’m going to prove it.

So then he goes on and says, “I will bless them that bless thee.” And this is where people get derailed. He’s literally speaking to one man. This is an Abrahamic promise of a blessing. And this same promise has been continued to all people that are saints, or elect, or believers, or Christians, or the Israel of God. There’s many terms we can use. It’s all the same group. The church in the wilderness, the biblical reference, that there were believers in the wilderness long before they ever had a nation, long before they were established on the land.

So he says, “And I will bless them that bless thee (Abram), and curse him that curseth thee (Abram): and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”Now this is actually interpreted for us in Galatians chapter 3. So when I go to Galatians, and if you have your Bible, feel free to follow along. I want you to see what he says. Galatians 3:6,7 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Now this is cool. If you’re in faith, if you’re saved by faith, you’re the children of Abraham. That was the promise that was given back then. And that promise applies to you today.

So he says, Galatians 3:8  And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen (that is the nations) through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

So how were they blessed? Galatians 3:9  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

So what verse 9 is teaching us here is that if you’re a Christian, that the blessing of Abraham comes upon you. Those that would bless you, God will bless. Those that curse you, God will curse.

I’m going to go back to Genesis 12 in a second, but I want to help just define it first by the New Testament. Because the New Testament defines the Old Testament. Galatians 3.16 “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many;” — So it’s not talking about a physical lineage here – “And to thy seed, which is Christ.” So to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. What seed? The Lord Jesus Christ.

So in Genesis, those promises were made of the Lord Jesus Christ. That through Him, all the families of the earth would be blessed. How are all the families of the earth blessed? Well, by the forgiveness of sins. By the substitutionary payment of the Lord Jesus Christ as His death, His burial, and His resurrection, His atonement for sin.

Now, I want to show you that in the end of this chapter here, that the Lord plagued Pharaoh. So right away, we actually see the truth of this blessing. That Pharaoh was cursed because of his interaction, or you could say the curse that he put upon Abram’s wife. And once they resolved their problem, God ended up blessing Pharaoh for being a blessing to him.

Now, I want to move forward two chapters. Genesis 14. This is where we hear about Melchizedek. Some of you may know who I’m talking about. This is the picture of Christ without father and mother, without descent. Abram goes and gets Lot back. Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine. He was the priest of the Most High God. And he blessed him and said, Blessed be Abram of the Most High God.

So here again, we see Abram being blessed, this time here by Melchizedek. This is kind of an awesome picture, foreshadowing what we would see, the Lord Jesus Christ in His coming, and the blessing of the forgiveness of sins that’s been promised to all people of all time. This promise is for all the nations.

So this is a really, just a really cool, really encouraging thing to see. So this actually happened in the time of Abraham, and yet it was foreshadowing the coming of Christ.

Now, I want to talk about dispensationalism for a minute. I want to pull this screen up here. Let’s do it this way. Dispensationalism is a new doctrine.

Now, I’ve recently preached some sermons about it, showing how it was Jesuit-influenced. Dispensationalism is not the origin of the premillennial view. The historic premillennial view, or classic premillennial view, was the majority of the beliefs during the early Christians, those that Paul taught, those that John instructed, believed in what is now commonly categorized as a historic premillennial view. And with that, they believed that there will be three and a half years of tribulation, and then the Lord returns. (Note: I wrote this pastor through his YouTube channel and asked him on what scriptures he bases that doctrine.) So premillennial has always been the most popular until the Catholic Church came along and hijacked Christianity. With that also, you know, Reformed theology.

It’s Reformed Catholicism. I’m not a Reformed Catholic. I’m a Christian. There’s always been a clear difference between the Christians and the Reformers. Many of the Reformers came up with Christian ideas because they were persecuting them, stealing their books, burning them, reading them. And many of the priests came along, justification by faith. Hey, I think we’re saved without works. And they were getting some of these ideas, but they were still baptizing babies. And they were saying that there’s this covenant that gives us salvation. It’s not by faith. And so they believed in this baptismal covenant or a generational covenant for salvation to enter in. And that’s just simply not true. They don’t understand covenant. They don’t understand faith. They say that faith was given to us by God. So there’s a lot of confusion in the Reformed camp.

Well, the historic premillennial view would also reject replacement theology. It’s not that Israel has always existed and that the church now replaces Israel. Quite the opposite. There was a church before Israel. Israel had the church. The true believers were the real Israel, the spiritual Israel. Your lineage doesn’t get you into heaven. Your church attendance doesn’t get you into heaven. Your zip code in Palestine or in Israel doesn’t get you to heaven. Your bloodline cannot save you and get you into heaven. God’s not a racist.

So it’s always been by faith to be God’s children. And so when I pull this up, dispensationalism, this is just a Wikipedia page. And I understand the problems with Wikipedia, CIA operation. People can change it and all like that. But let’s just look at what the common teachings are here. I’m not going any deeper than that. There’s more you can go into, and we will.

It talks about the church age and dispensationalism. It interprets the Bible into multiple ages called dispensations. And he interacts with his chosen people in different ways. I’ve got to say this. You that are watching this right now, God’s dealing with you differently than he is with me. God deals with everybody differently. Now, were there new things revealed at different times? Of course. Was there ever a difference in salvation? No, never.

And that’s the big deal. That’s where dispensationalism was designed. It was specifically created to teach that there were salvation, multiple ways, with works before the church and after the church, as they say.

And if you notice here on the screen, this is where we get the difference, a distinction between Israel and the church. And maintain the premillennial view, which has always existed. But then you get into Christian Zionism, which is actually an oxymoron.

Zionism is a political movement to build the third temple for the Antichrist. And they’re going to claim to be Israel. They’re going to claim to be Jewish. They’re going to claim to be Christ. So Christian Zionism does exist. Many famous preachers, John Hagee and even Baptist conservative preachers, would claim to be Zionistic. And that’s blasphemy to say that you want to help Israel build their third temple.

They believe the rapture is before the second coming, which we don’t see that anywhere in the Bible. In fact, quite the opposite. We see that at the Lord’s coming, it is after the tribulation.

Dispensationalism was systematized and promoted by John Nelson Darby of the Plymouth Brethren. And so let’s take a look at John Nelson Darby.

This is John Nelson Darby. He made many charts and writings on this. And he traveled about the 1830s. And he was giving speeches about it. And he preached a false gospel. John Nelson Darby, he actually was a fatalist. He’s a Calvinist that did not believe in free will.

So then Cyrus Scofield picked up on it. Now Cyrus Scofield, C.I. Scofield, he had several writings. And then the Oxford Press began to publish his book, the Scofield [Reference] Bible. Now this guy has a very bad history. He was not qualified to be a preacher. He preached a false gospel.

In the Scofield reference Bible, and I’ve shown this recently in some sermons, he literally taught that Jesus read from the Talmud and that Jesus adopted from the Talmud on page 1099. If you have a reference Bible, you can look that up. And he also taught that there were works. Everybody had to work their way to heaven before the cross. And so he’s a damnable heretic. The Scofield notes cannot be trusted. They are a lie.

And this brings me to another topic. This man, Eleazar Ben Yehuda. And actually I’ll skip ahead to the Zionist Congress because he’s directly related to the Star of David, the nation of Israel. And the Zionist Congress was to establish a new nation, to call it Israel. Originally they said they were going to call it Judea, and they changed and they ended up calling it Israel. So backing up two steps, Eleazar Ben Yehuda.

Eleazar Ben Yehuda, he and ten other rabbis restored the language of Hebrew. Now here’s what’s interesting. Hebrew was a dead language. It was an unspoken language even in the time of Christ. Christ would have understood some Hebrew terms. Many of the men did at that time. But they predominantly spoke in Aramaic. The tribes that were sent into captivity into Babylon adopted their language of Aramaic. But the trade language, the world language at the time was in Greek. So they would have spoken Greek and Aramaic. But Hebrew was not a commonly used language. There’s Old Testament scriptures in Aramaic at that time and even in Greek at that time. And so they had the preservation of the scriptures throughout time and throughout languages just as we do today.

But this guy said we’re going to restore Hebrew. Now I want to show you some facts about this guy. He, let’s see here, his native tongue was Yiddish. Yiddish is a Germanic-influenced or Ukrainian-influenced version of Hebrew. They took the Ukrainian and the German tongue to interpret Hebrew.

So this guy created a new Hebrew. They originally called it Restored Hebrew. Now they call it Modern Hebrew. It is not Biblical Hebrew. I bring this up to help you understand. What they speak in Israel today is not Biblical Hebrew. They say things totally different with a Yiddish influence. Not Israel, not Jewish, Yiddish influence. And that Yiddish influence is why you have many Hebrew roots movements trying to tell you don’t say Jesus, say Yahoshua. And why they say don’t say Jehovah, say Yahweh. Which, by the way, Morals and Dogma, the Satanic Masonic book, which is directly tied to Judaism, they actually teach this same concept. They say that Yahweh is Satan.

So make sure that you’re saying God’s name in English, okay? You don’t need to say His name in German. You don’t need to say His name in Yiddish. You don’t need to say it in Spanish. If you speak English, say it in English. These name changers are very dangerous because they also begin to attack doctrine, and usually the deity of Christ is right behind.

I want to talk about the Star of David. This is called a hexagram in magic. It is the most powerful magic sign. They put a hex on somebody. This is what witchcraft is all about, that they put the hex on you. The Star of David, as it’s commonly called, has nothing to do with David.

They tell you from Kabbalism, which, again, Kabbalism, the Kabbalah, the Talmud, we see it also in Freemasonry. The secret societies of the world worship Satan along with mystical Judaism of today. So they call it the Seal of Solomon. It is mystical, magical, occult. This is literally occultism.

That six-pointed star is to put a hex on people. And I believe that Satan hates those that identify as Jews today, and I believe that he hates the nation of Israel, just as he hates Christians and everybody else, and he wants to take as many as he can to hell.

Kabbalism is Satanic sex magic. It’s very perverse. All of your Hollywood elite practice it, and it serves them well.

But I want to point out here that the Shield of David, we see it in Hinduism, we see it in Buddhism, we see it in Islam. This is actually an Islamic symbol. And again, you can pull all of this up, the hexagram. I’m trying to find a certain spot here. Well, Shalom, here we go. Also found in Hinduism, Lakshmi, Buddhism.

I want you to understand many Christians embrace this star because they say that they don’t like the Muslims, but it’s actually a Muslim [symbol].

Gershom Sholom writes that the term Seal of Solomon was adopted by Jews from Islamic magic literature. While he cannot assert with certainty whether the term the Shield of David originated in Islamic or Jewish mysticism.

Christians, I want you to wake up. The Jews adopted Islamic magic literature with that shield, that Star of David. This is a horribly wicked thing.

Judaism today is known as rabbinical Judaism, and the rabbinical Judaism, they claim their origins from the Pharisees of Jesus’ time. The Pharisees wrote down their tradition. It was codified into law, a written law, about 600 years after Jesus. And in it, they say it’s okay to blaspheme, steal, murder, cheat, especially against the goyim, which are those that are not Jewish in practice because they say they have no soul. They’re like a cattle. It says they should decapitate somebody, literally cut off their head, for those that don’t believe in their Christ, that believe in another Christ.

This brings in the Noahide laws. The Babylonian Talmud is the handbook. It is the religion of Judaism today, and Jesus warned about it. He literally warned about their oral tradition, and in it, it also says, the Babylonian Talmud, you can look this up, that it’s okay to sodomize a child nine years and under. This is bizarre. What a bizarre religion that makes any excuse to hurt children, any excuse to hurt the innocent, to murder those that don’t believe like them.

Biblical Christianity, we believe that it’s our job to convert with the Word, not the sword. It’s the sword of the Lord that we use, which is the Word of God. We don’t hold you at gunpoint. We don’t drop bombs on you to make you Christians. Quite the opposite. Jesus said to turn the other cheek. In fact, Jesus said, blessed be the peacemakers. And either you’re a peacemaker or you’re a warmonger. I know that’s quite an extreme, and maybe you’re in the middle, and you say, yeah, but shouldn’t we go get them before they come get us? I’d be very careful with that.

We are making generations of other nations, of Palestinians, Muslims, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq. You just look at the mess that we’ve made, and there are generations that hate us because of our military action, and they think that that’s the Christian agenda. The Catholics are not Christians. Zionists are not biblical Christians. They don’t represent us, and it’s time for biblical Christians to just stand up for what’s right and do what’s right, to, blessed be the peacemakers. We as Christians, we don’t drop bombs. We drop Bibles. We literally drop in tracts and Bibles into foreign occupied nations.

And there’s quite a stir these days with World War III on the horizon as Israel is attacking Iran, and as Christians, we don’t go to war for Israel. We don’t go to war for Ukraine. Now look, self-defense, clearly in the Bible, but our government has been hijacked by a political campaign for the Zionists, which are pro-Israeli. Do you understand that our American government, the majority of our senators and congressmen have received money from foreign entities, from Israelis, donate through AIPAC to give to American lawmakers so that American lawmakers will make laws saying we should go to war for Israel, we should uphold Israel above all else.

Now what’s really interesting, even here in Florida where we’re at, our governor, Ron DeSantis, boy, he did a lot of good things when all the lockdowns were happening. He did some things right, and I’m very thankful for the freedom that we have in Florida. It’s still very free compared to other states, but he actually went to Israel to pass a law about hate speech, and I want to be clear. Saying you don’t support another religion, that’s not hate speech.

Now racism, yeah, that’s hate. Bible doesn’t advocate for that. Christians should not say, I hate the Arabs, I hate the Palestinians. You shouldn’t say that. That would be a wicked statement. God wants them to be saved. But Ron DeSantis passed a law saying if you criticize Israel or political Zionism, that you’re an anti-Semite.

And I want to deal with this. What is a Semite? I want to show you what the Bible says. Let’s start with Wikipedia. Semite, the Semitic peoples. It’s a term for ethnic or cultural or racial groups. So now they’ve defined it multiple ways. They have changed this definition over time to use it for their agenda.

That statement, anti-Semite, they’ve now weaponized it against anybody that would disagree with them politically. And it tells you right away, they’re in Africa, the Middle East, the Assyrians, that’s not Israel, the Arabs, that’s not Israel, the Armenians, the Canaanites, that’s definitely not Israel, Phoenicians, do you follow what I’m getting at here? They’re the sons of Shem. There was Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and the sons of Shem are many, many nations.

Now, if you say I don’t support the war in Ukraine, I wouldn’t call you a racist because there’s many bloodlines represented in Ukraine. But what happens is anytime you criticize this one nation, Israel, anytime you criticize this political agenda called Zionism, they instantly call you a racist. That is anti-Semitic.

Well, to be anti-Semitic would be wrong. I preached a sermon, I’ll put it in the description, I showed from the description to be Semitic means to prefer the race of the Semites. Now, that is racism.

We’ve had a problem in America with reversed racism where there were many African Americans, black population, islanders that were mistreated. Even Hispanics and Mexicans and Puerto Ricans and Costa Ricans mistreated in America. And so we had a knee-jerk reaction. It’s like they jerked the wheel into another ditch and now there’s a reversed racism. We’re going to prefer you over somebody that’s white and or Caucasian or European. And now you get into this whole spectrum of color and race and blood.

And to me, it’s all very wrong. I don’t believe anybody has more rights than another. So Semitism is racism and it needs to be avoided, especially by Christians.

Anti-Semitism is racism. It needs to be avoided by Christians. But to say, well, the Israel over there, they don’t have the bloodline because there are many Europeans over there which aren’t of the 12 tribes. And they say, oh, you’re a racist. You see how bizarre it is, how this is one of those protected groups.

They say, if you want to know who secretly rules you, who is it illegal to speak against, right? So if it’s wrong, everybody calls you a racist as soon as you say we shouldn’t defend Israel.

And then they try to tell you that Genesis 12 tells us, God said, bless them. Well, that’s not what it said. God said, Abram would be blessed and that he would bring Christ. Abram would be blessed and that he would bring Christ. The Bible does not say, bless Israel and God will bless you. Not at all.

The religion of the Jews is something the Bible actually warns about. And I want to show you that. I want to go to the scriptures here and I want you to see where I’m going so that you can do this yourself.

In Romans chapter two, first of all, at the end of the chapter, he says, for he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly. In other words, what’s outwardly? Well, that’s your flesh. You’re not a Jew if you’re one outwardly. He says, but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly. And circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not of the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God. Who is a Jew? One that’s circumcised in the heart.

So God’s people were those that were circumcised in the heart. If you continue through Romans, and there are many dispensationalists or Zionists that, oh, Romans nine through 11, brother. Well, that’s not actually what it says.

I want to show you this in context. He says in verse number six, Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

This is a really profound statement. Most people don’t know what this means. They think, “Well, God’s going to restore them in the endtimes. He’s going to miraculously save all of them.” That’s not what it says, not at all. In fact, quite the opposite. He literally says that they are not Israel. Why? Look at verse 8. ” That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God:…” So to say that the 12 tribes are only the children of God, well, that wrong, and it’s blasphemous.

In Revelation chapter 2:9 “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

If you are teaching that the Jews are God’s chosen people, you are blaspheming Jesus Christ! If you’re saying that they can be saved any other way, by their own works, by the old Covenant – it’s literally blasphemy that they would say that. So I want to challenge you, I want to encourage you, what does the Bible say? If you go back and look at Genesis 12, it does not support the narrative that Christians should support the political nation of Israel.
