THE FALSE DOCTRINE THAT GOD IS DONE
WITH THE JEW
SMYrNA
Our lord calls this teaching Satanic and Blasphemous
He also is letting us know that this will be one of the fundamental doctrine that Satan will use to build his counterfeit church (Religious system)
THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING THIS TEACHING
SMYrNA
During this time the Ante-Nicene church fathers began to teach that: Because the Christian is a Spiritual Jew (Romans 2)
Therefore he is also a Physical Jew
Therefore all the promises in the Word of god to the Jew are now given to the Church.
And because of that God is now through with the Jews
WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS DOCTRINE THAT OUR LORD IS REFERRING
TO?
SMYrNA
Further ramifications of this teaching: The Christian has replaced the Jew
The Church has replaced Israel
And the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are the same
WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS DOCTRINE THAT OUR LORD IS REFERRING
TO?
(Pro 23:10) Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
94% of all “Christian”
denominations believe this doctrine
Warning!
MILLENNIAL REIGN
SMYrNA
What you believe about the Jew will put you in one of three Categories doctrinally when it comes to the Biblical teaching of the Millennial reign Pre-Millennial
Post-Millennial
A-Millennial
SMYrNA
The word Millennium itself is a Latin word made of up of 2 words: Mil= 1000 Annum = Years
It has to do with the 1000 year reign of Christ, in a literal, physical, earthly, Kingdom; where Jesus will sit on the throne of David and rule the earth
The millennial reign issue is always a Political issue… because it deals
with Governmental authority on Earth
Warning!
(Isa 9:6-7) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father,
The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and
peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his
kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with
justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts
will perform this.
(Mat 19:28) And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That
ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory,
ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes
of Israel.
(Rev 12:5) And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all
nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and
to his throne.
SMYrNA
Pre = Before
A pre - millennialist believes that Christ will return before the 1000 year reign
Post = After A post - millennialist believes that Christ will return after the 1000 year region.
A = Not A – millennialist believe that Christ is NOT going to come back to reign on this earth
Understanding the different views of the millennium
SMYrNA
The difference between correct bible doctrine and false Bible doctrine is whether or not someone is a pre – millennialist!!!
A pre – millennialist knows where to place the Jew correctly in the Scripture… So he will know what scriptures belong to the Jew and what scriptures belong to the Christians.
SMYrNA
The Satan’s most subtle trick is not to get you to deny God, or the virgin birth, or the resurrection, but to use the Bible against people who believe the Bible, by taking verses that do not apply, and making them think they apply to us.
Not every verse in the Bible is written to Christian in this age! And not every doctrine is a Christian doctrine
Three relevant examples of what happens doctrinally when you lose sight of the
Jew:
BAPTISM
(Act 2:38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Cross Reference Acts 2:5, 14, 22, 36
SMYrNA
The setting of the sermon was to the Nation of Israel that had just Crucified their long waited Messiah
There is a massive danger to applying this verse to a Christian in the church Age.
TONGUES
(Heb 2:3-4) How shall we escape, if we neglect so great
salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the
Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and
wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own
will?
(1Co 14:22) Wherefore tongues are for a sign,
not to them that believe, but to them that believe not:…
(1Co 1:22) For the Jews require a sign, and the
Greeks seek after wisdom:
SMYrNA
There are only three instances in all the Bible where some one actually speaks in tongues
All 3 times there is a unbelieving Jew around
Acts 2:1-40
Acts 10:1-12
Acts 18:27- 19:7
ETERNAL
SECURITY
SMYrNA
Once again “every” denomination outside of Baptist believe that salvation is a temporal state and can be lost if you don’t continue in obedience to God
Every group that teaches against Eternal Security will always bring you to a passage or a book that is to a Jew in the tribulation period
(Heb 6:4-6) For it is impossible for those who were once
enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And
have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away,
to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God
afresh, and put him to an open shame.
(Jas 2:17-24) Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest
well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac
his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by
works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham
believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of
God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
(Jas 1:1) James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered
abroad, greeting.
(Mat 24:13) But he that shall
endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
