False Prophets and Modern Zionism

Now, as we go to Jeremiah chapter 27, we'll continue down this row of what Jeremiah was dealing with in the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim. Excuse me, I'm sorry. This was misplaced. I'm sorry. This was last series. So this is the reign of Jehoiakim. Sorry about that, my friends. I've misplaced that. So sorry about that.

So, we'll go to Jeremiah chapter 28. "And it happened in the same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur, the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the presence of the priests and all of the people, saying, 'Thus speaks the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. Within two full years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the Lord's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. And I will bring back to this place Jehoiachin the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon,' says the Lord. And that was 598 BC is what he's talking about. 'For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.' Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests and in the presence of all the people who stood in the house of the Lord. And the prophet Jeremiah said, 'Amen. The Lord do so. The Lord perform your words which you have prophesied to bring back the vessels of the Lord's house and all who were carried away captive from Babylon to this place. Nevertheless, hear now this word that I speak in your hearing, in the hearing of all the people. The prophets who have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries and great kingdoms of war and disaster and pestilence. As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet comes to pass, the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has truly sent.' Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke off of the prophet Jeremiah's neck and he broke it. And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, 'Thus says the Lord: Even so I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years.' And the prophet Jeremiah went his way."

So, we'll stop there. So, as you can see, there was basically a battle of the prophets in front of the people. Hananiah spoke out saying within two years that he's going to turn around the fortunes of Jerusalem and Judah and the king of Babylon, you don't have to worry about it. He's going to bring back the vessels. He's going to overtake the king of Babylon within two years. Did you see what Jeremiah responded with? He did not say that the Lord would not do that. He just disagreed with the timing of that, the two years. So again, Jeremiah confirmed, yes, He will bring back. He said, "Amen. He will bring back the vessels. He will turn around the king of Babylon, but not in two years." So that's where Jeremiah had the difference with Hananiah. And then look at what he says in verse 15: "Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, 'Hear now, Hananiah, the Lord has not sent you, but you make this people trust in a lie. Therefore, thus says the Lord, behold, I will cast you from the face of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the Lord.' So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month." Very important, my friends. Those who have been with us on the channel understand the seventh month. They call it the month of Tishrei now, but that is when the books are opened for the individuals and the nations. Everybody, Feast of Trumpets to the Feast of Yom Kippur, the first day Tishrei one to Tishrei 10 for the modern-day understanding of it. And look at what happened. Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. The verdicts, the righteous rendered verdicts of the Almighty. This is another example of how the courts work up in the courts of heaven, kind of like with Nebuchadnezzar, kind of like with Joseph, the story of Joseph. Now we have this with Hananiah died in the seventh month. And that's when the verdicts are given. That's not saying that everything has to happen in the seventh month, but that's just very interesting that it did happen in the seventh month because that is when the verdicts are given, and that's when this false prophet passed away and what Jeremiah proclaimed.

So for all of the prophets out there who want to be prophets, we've got to be very careful with prophesying against the Lord. And we've got to realize that especially with the heart posture that we have. For instance, I'll give you a good example. The Christian Zionist and the political Zionist. And let me define that so people don't get sideways with me on that. They're talking about the Abrahamic covenant, really, when they say Zionism. The Abrahamic covenant. I don't know why we have to get all these new names and all this stuff. It's really the Abrahamic covenant. The Jewish people have a right to the promised land. That's theology. That's the Abrahamic covenant. But the Zionists believe that the government are going to do the greater Israel. So, in my opinion, and this is just my opinion, they're leading the people in rebellion against the Lord because only the Jewish Messiah is going to do that. I mean, that should be common sense for all of us, proper theology and proper eschatology for sure. So again, the Christian Zionist and the political Zionist thinks that they're going to do the greater Israel project and conquering the promised land. And that will not happen. So they've got to be very careful that they're not going to turn into false prophets, if you will, by telling the people, "Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Do it. You've got God's favor with it and all these things." And they just do not right now. I know that's hardcore to understand. They don't have the favor to do that. I think that's obvious right now with Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, you name it, Iran, Turkey, you name it. It's obvious what's going on right now is the Lord's bringing these empires, these Islamists against them to make them repent. He's not interested right now for them to conquer the promised land. He's interested right now in them returning to His Son Yeshua, the King of Israel. And when they do, He's going to do this for them. You see what I'm saying? So again, we're out of alignment with the understanding of the end of the age. The Christian Zionist and the political Jewish Zionist, they believe that they're going to do it. The Bible says He's going to do it. So that's very clear. We've got to get into it. I mean, again, loving the Jewish people is telling them the truth, not to go with false understanding and false prophets and all this stuff. We've got to get real biblically. Unfortunately, we're not understanding the biblical prophets in the proper order that they were written. They're taking the Day of the Lord scriptures, which we're going to do a series on that after tonight. We're going to start a series on the Day of the Lord scriptures with the three great prophets, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and show everybody that they're trying to do right now what Yeshua is going to do at the Day of the Lord. And that's where the confusion is right now. And then people will think you're anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, and anti-everything. And that's just not the case. The case is we're out of alignment with the biblical prophets who God spoke through that said that we're out of alignment because we're doing all these things in the land that's not kosher. And He's not going to show favor to all of us over there. I include myself in that. He's not going to show us favor until we repent. Until we repent and call on Yeshua, and then He will do it Himself. So again, when He says you have taught rebellion against the Lord, to a certain degree, and I'm not accusing them, they just have to be very careful of not falling into a false prophet understanding, the Christian Zionist, the Jewish Zionist, because they're leading the people to think that they're able to do this, and they're not able to do this without the Jewish Messiah.

So again, very clear that Jeremiah comes against the false prophets who are prophesying peace, peace, peace, but there's no peace. And we've got to understand that loving the Jewish people is not just believing in Yeshua, dual covenant, go do your thing, none of that. Loving the Jewish people is loving them like you love everybody else in the world, but also giving them Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah, provoking them to jealousy, all of the things that the Bible requires a true believer to do, not just to be a part of political Israel and go conquer the promised land. That will get these people judged tremendously. And that's where we're going right now, is to judgment, not to redemption, to judgment. And that's where the disagreement comes in with myself compared to a Zionist or whatever. I mean, I believe in the Abrahamic covenant. If you want to call Zionism the Abrahamic covenant, count me in. If Zionism is conquering the promised land, count me out, because Jeremiah would be against that, because they will not be able to do this without the Jewish Messiah. And that's what the people, because I believe this, I believe the government has indoctrinated the people, and the people believe that again, the scriptures say that they can go conquer the promised land. And right now, it's about repentance. It's about Yeshua coming to the Jewish Messiah, is what this is about. And that's we're about to go through the time of Jacob's trouble, which we're going to read here soon. So my friends, it's just a heart position change, but it will get you judged by other people if you have this understanding, because the people believe they can do this. And from what my eyes can see over the last two or three years, or last 20 or 30 years, they will not be able to do this. So we've got to understand this. That's all for our Jewish Messiah, Yeshua. So again, let's take up for Yeshua, what our Savior is going to do, and not reject Him, and be a false prophet and say, "Yeah, go do everything you want to do and go conquer the promised land." That will not happen until He returns to do this for them. And that is very biblical, very eschatological, you name it. I mean, this is very all over the place, but we have to read the prophets the way that they wrote it.

So again, Jeremiah was dealing with false prophets. The true prophets in Israel are dealing with false prophets now. Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, they're false. They're false people. That think that they can do all this stuff, and whoever else who believes that as well with those two guys. The Israeli government is out of line right now tremendously. And now you've got the radicals in there who think that they can do these things. How's that going? I don't... good.
