Israel, The Nations, and Tammuz 17th's Future

All my American friends, we are the nations. We are not Israel; America, and then the nations. It's Israel and the nations. God says, "Don't act like the nations." Unfortunately, we are. We've got to act our spirituality, if you want to call it that. The Word of God comes out of Jerusalem, out of Zion, is where it comes from in Isaiah 2, Micah 4. That's where we live; it's from that point, not the nations to Jerusalem and bring all the idolatry. No, Israel to the nations. Just like Moses and the prophets have said. And if we don't understand that, we've got to understand that because Israel dictates it, or the God of Israel from Moses dictates the covenant to the nations, the Torah. That's why during the millennial kingdom, Isaiah 2 and Micah 4 says that the Torah is going to go out from Zion. That's in the millennial kingdom. Everybody's going to get a heavy dose of the Father's commandments on this earth before it's done with. I know the Christians might not like that, or the atheists, or all these other people, but everybody's going to get a heavy dose of the Torah when Yeshua comes on this earth. Please understand that. And if one doesn't think that, then one doesn't believe He's the Jewish Messiah. Because the Jewish Messiah is going to take the Torah to the nations and get people to understand it, or the gavel. That's one of His major prerequisites that we have to understand. Not none of this "do your own thing," create another feast day like Aaron did. None of that. It's going to be the sword, the plague, no rain. Welcome to the millennial kingdom for the nations, not for all of us. It's going to be like the Garden of Eden in Israel, but for the nations, it's going to be "strike the nations with the sword and rule them with a rod of iron," just like Revelation 19:1-16 says. So, we've got to get out of all this stuff about Jesus being just coming in peace and all this stuff. No, it's the opposite. He's coming for peace for you and me, but for those who don't keep the commandments and worship Him the right way, He's going to strike the nations and rule them with a rod of iron, not a democracy. It's going to be a dictatorship, a righteous, eternal dictatorship. People hate when I say that, but you've got to get your heart position in the right way. He's coming with a rod of iron, everybody. That is not pleasant for the nations. I mean, goodness gracious, a rod of iron by the Savior and the sword out of His mouth. Good luck with that for all the nations who want to be in disobedience.

But God is trying to tell us through this beautiful understanding of Exodus 32 through Exodus 34, we need to get it together because idolatry is vast amongst the nations, including all three religions that people think they love God: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. All three Abrahamic faiths are out of alignment. And I think He's showing that right now, and He's going to show it in the future when they get put into the beast kingdom over in the Middle East because of all this nonsense with these religions and everybody's all this war stuff, violence. So, we've got to realize what He's about. And Exodus 32 through Exodus 34 gives us a clear, clear picture of not creating another feast day, Christianity worshiping the way He told you, or the gavel. Look what happened. On Tammuz 17th, 3,000 people died. So, we've got to get this now. He's very serious about His ways to worship. We talk about it all the time on here because of this right here. This story right here should shake everybody's boots a little bit and get their theology corrected. Go back and study a little bit; go be a Berean. Let's get wisdom; let's get knowledge. If we don't have it, we're going to perish. "My people perish for lack of what?" Faith? No. Works? No. My people perish for lack of knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, instruction. And if we don't get back to that, Christianity and Judaism, of course, Islam, but if we don't get back to God's people, the Jews and the Christians, we're the ones who are out of alignment right now. Everybody's talking about Islam. God, He'll deal with Islam. He's worried about His people right now, the Jews and the Christians. I think that's pretty obvious. Judgment comes to the house of God first, not to the Islamists, not to all these other evil people. It comes to us first to get us purified. That's why it's called the time of Jacob's trouble. That's why it's called the seven-year tribulation or purification journey, however one wants to look at it, because He's coming for us. He wants us to get right, us to be spotless, and then He will deal with Islam, and all these other evil people. He will do that. Right now, He's allowing us to get our attitudes and our heart positions like Moses. And until we do that, it's just going to be what you're seeing right now, all over the world, because God's people are not acting like Moses, including myself. We've got to get back to the circumcision of heart that He had: love God, love neighbor, love the covenant, understand the covenant, and love people, man, and do the Great Commission. I mean, He could have easily said, "Go destroy these people, God. I'm the righteous one. Build me a great nation out of me." He could have easily said that. And goodness, I'm sure all the some people would say that right now, the leaders of Christianity and the leaders of Judaism would say that, "Yeah, I'm the one who's holy, not the people." No, we're all bad. And we need the grace of the blood of the Lamb, which He sprinkled upon the people in Exodus 24, and to be good and to be righteous, not to create different holidays for Jesus and all this crazy paganism. No way, Jose. That is not biblical whatsoever. And He tells you that He wants us to understand this. So, please understand it from Moses. Go read what he has, what the story is. And it's not all peaches and cream when people are in idolatry with their golden calf, or my golden calf, or whoever's golden calf. It's really that important.

So, the rest of the chapter in Exodus 34, He reminds them of these commandments that He told them at Mount Sinai. You know, I'm not going to read all of them, but talking about the Sabbath, talking about the Feast of Weeks, the 50-day counting of the Omer, etc. Three times a year, your people, the Jewish men, need to be in Jerusalem on Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, and Tabernacles. He gives you the Firstfruits, all of these things. And then look at what He ends with, verse 27: "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Write these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.' So he was with the Lord 40 days and 40 nights; he neither ate nor drank. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments." My friends, that ended on the Feast of Yom Kippur, which is totally amazing, the Day of Atonement, which is when Yeshua Himself will deliver the nation of Israel as well. Amen and amen and amen.

So again, Moses, Yom Kippur, Yeshua will redeem the nation of Israel on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement as well. Totally phenomenal how that works. One quick reminder, or two things really quick. Again, the book of Exodus, my friends, if you've never read the book of Exodus according to the calendar, you're missing some very cool understandings. I say that in love to everybody, but you're missing some great gems by not following the calendar with the story of Exodus because, guess what? Exodus 12, verse 1-2, "Moses, this is your first month." They call it Nisan 1. Aviv 1, Nisan 1, however you want to call it, is Nisan 1. So that's Exodus 12. Well, again, you keep on reading through the story, the counting of the Omer, the 50-day journey that goes to Shavuot. So, right in alignment, Exodus 19, Exodus 20, Shavuot. And then He goes up upon the mountain and gets the instructions. And then He comes back in the golden calf, Exodus 32, which is Tammuz 17th. So He's taking you on this beautiful journey according to the calendar. And then to Tammuz 17th, you have another set of 40 days after the first 40, there was no reassurance, and then He came down, went back up again for the last set of 40 on Elul 1, the sixth month, 40 days to Tishrei 10, boom, the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. All's forgiven, and then they started building the tabernacle from that day forward, and then six months later, they set it up on Nisan 1.

So my friends, if we can understand that trajectory, it's really going to help us personally with our purification. Number one, God's full of grace. I think that's obvious, right? If you read the story of Exodus 32 and Exodus 34, He could have wiped them all out, just like He said, in one moment. He could wipe them all out, and He did not, because of the covenant, all right? The promise of the Abrahamic covenant and because of His grace. And then He gave the people a chance. But also look at Moses' intercession. Look at the heart position. He was interceding for a rebellious people, a stiff-necked people, is what they called it in the Bible. And remember what Aaron did, which was out of alignment, the high priest creating a feast day. "Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord." That was Tammuz 17th, is what he was talking about. And that became a cursed day instead, a fast day. And then Yeshua is going to turn it into a feast day. Isn't that pretty cool? The high priest Yeshua. So there's a lot of correlations there, my friends, with these things. And Tammuz 17th, which is tonight, wherever you may be, and all day tomorrow till sundown, is a very pivotal day to understand what we've gone through tonight, but also the trajectory in the future, because something will happen on Tammuz 17th, just like it always does.
