WHY ISRAEL MATTERS
Message 5 — The Return
The King Who Is Coming

Five weeks. One question. Why does Israel matter?

Today we get the complete answer — not just a prophecy chart, not just a theological framework, but a living, breathing, hope-producing walk through the full prophetic sequence from the rapture of the church to the establishment of the eternal Kingdom. This is where the entire series has been heading. This is where every covenant God has ever made finds its fulfillment. This is the climax of the story God has been telling since Genesis 12.

In this fifth and final message of Why Israel Matters: Biblical Clarity in a Time of Confusion, Pastor Tony walks through the complete end-times sequence — phase by phase, in plain language — built around one central theme: the King is coming.

In this message you will discover:
• The Rapture — what it is, why it is pretribulational, and why it is the signal that Israel's final prophetic chapter is beginning
• The Tribulation — what Daniel's 70th week actually looks like, why Israel is at the center of it, and what the Antichrist's role reveals about the dragon's last strategy
• The Judgment Seat of Christ — what every believer will face in heaven while the Tribulation unfolds on earth, and why the prophetic sequence is not just something to know about but something to live in light of
• The Marriage Supper of the Lamb — the greatest celebration in eternity, and what the fine linen the bride wears actually represents
• Armageddon and the Second Coming — the literal, physical, earth-shaking return of Jesus Christ, His feet on the Mount of Olives, and the moment all Israel looks on the One they pierced and recognizes their Messiah
• The Millennial Kingdom — what one thousand years of Christ reigning from Jerusalem actually fulfills for Israel covenant by covenant — Abrahamic, Davidic, and New
• The Great White Throne Judgment — the most sobering event in human history, and why it is the reason the gospel matters
• The Eternal Kingdom — the new heaven, the new earth, the New Jerusalem, and the moment God wipes away every tear forever

This message is for the believer who needs to be reminded that the prophetic sequence is their story too — the rapture is your homecoming, the Marriage Supper is your wedding, the Millennial Kingdom is your reign, and the Eternal Kingdom is your forever.

It is for the person who does not yet know Christ — because everything in this message is coming, it is on God's calendar, and the only question that matters when it arrives is which side of the covenant you are on.

And it is for everyone watching Israel in the news and wondering if God is in it — He is. The bones are assembled. The fig tree is budding. The dragon is enraged because his time is short. And the King is almost here.

Key Scriptures: 1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 | 1 Corinthians 15:51–52 | Daniel 9:27 | Matthew 24:21 | 2 Corinthians 5:10 | Revelation 19:6–9, 11–16 | Zechariah 14:3–4 | Zechariah 12:10 | Romans 11:26 | Revelation 20:1–6, 11–15 | Isaiah 2:2–4 | Revelation 21:1–5 | Zechariah 14:9 | Revelation 22:20

Why Israel Matters is a five-part series examining the biblical truth about Israel, the church, antisemitism, Zionism, and the coming Kingdom — from a pretribulational, premillennial perspective that takes God's Word at face value.

WHY ISRAEL MATTERS
Message 4 — The Hatred Matters
The Supernatural War Behind the Headlines

You have seen the protests. The boycotts. The international resolutions. The campus eruptions. The social media campaigns. A level of hostility directed at one specific nation and one specific people that no political framework has ever been able to fully explain.

Jewish people make up less than 0.2 percent of the world's population. Israel is smaller than the state of New Jersey. And yet Israel generates more international controversy, more United Nations resolutions, and more global outrage than any other nation on earth. Not China. Not Russia. Not North Korea. Israel.

And the hatred is not new. It predates the modern State of Israel. It predates the 20th century. It predates the Middle Ages. In every culture, every century, every economic condition — the hatred follows the Jewish people wherever they go. Historians cannot fully explain it. Sociologists cannot fully explain it. Political scientists cannot fully explain it.

Because what they are looking at is not primarily a political, racial, or socioeconomic phenomenon. It is a supernatural one. And in this fourth message of our series Why Israel Matters: Biblical Clarity in a Time of Confusion, Pastor Tony pulls back the curtain on the oldest war in human history — a war that started not in the Middle East, but in a garden.

In this message you will discover:
• Why Genesis 3:15 — spoken in the Garden of Eden before there was a single Jewish person on earth — is the key that unlocks every headline you have read about Israel in the last year
• The identity and strategy of the dragon in Revelation 12 — and why the supernatural logic behind antisemitism is actually Satan's survival strategy
• How the campaigns of Pharaoh, Haman, Herod, and Hi**er are all episodes in the same war — run by the same dragon, against the same target, for the same reason
• What Zechariah 12:2–3 predicted 2,500 years ago about the current geopolitical moment — and what it means for the nations lining up against Israel today
• The two-stage prophecy of Ezekiel 36–37 — what the valley of dry bones actually means, why 1948 was Stage 1, and what Stage 2 looks like when the Spirit of God is poured out on national Israel
• Why the modern State of Israel is largely secular — and why that is exactly what Ezekiel said Stage 1 would look like
• What the dragon's rage tells us about the prophetic moment we are living in — and what the church's response must be

This message will change the way you read the news. It will show you that the hatred of Israel — as dark and disturbing as it is — is actually evidence that God's prophetic calendar is running exactly on schedule. The dragon is enraged because his time is short. The bones are assembled because God is keeping His word. Stage 1 is underway. And Stage 2 is coming.

The dragon lost before he started. He just has not accepted it yet.

Key Scriptures: Genesis 3:15 | Revelation 12:1–6, 9, 13–17 | Matthew 2:13–16 | Esther 3:5–6 | Zechariah 12:2–3 | Genesis 12:3 | Ezekiel 36:24–28 | Ezekiel 37:1–14 | Isaiah 66:7–8 | Romans 11:26

***TOPICS MISSED DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES:
TABLE 1 - Corrupt Communication
Ephesians 4:29 NKJV
29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
The Greek word σαπρός (sapros) means rotten, decayed, putrid — the same word used for a bad tree bearing bad fruit. Paul isn't describing profanity alone. He's describing speech that has decomposed.
This table gets set gradually — venting that never resolves, gossip dressed as a prayer request, criticism framed as discernment, sarcasm passed off as humor, silence weaponized as punishment. None of these announce themselves as corrupt.
They slide in. They get normalized.
The question isn't "Is it true?" — it's "Is it building or decomposing?"
"Death and life are in the power of the tongue." — Proverbs 18:21
Zeal Thread: A person with zeal for His house cannot be comfortable with corrupt communication — because the house is built with words.
Landing Question: "What would the people closest to you say about the words that come out of your mouth — and would Jesus agree with them?"

TABLE 2 - Polluted Praise
Matthew 15:8 NKJV
8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.
Jesus is quoting Isaiah 29:13 — meaning this table is 700 years old by the time He names it again. The Greek word ἀπέχω (apéchó) — translated "far" — implies movement. The heart didn't start far. It went far, while the lips kept showing up.
This table gets set when routine replaces reverence, reputation replaces reality, emotion replaces encounter, attendance replaces surrender, and music replaces the Man. It is the most dangerous table in a Pentecostal context — because expressive worship provides the perfect cover for a heart that has quietly relocated.
Malachi 1:8 names the same table — blemished offerings handed to God that would never be handed to a governor. We give God our leftovers and call it worship.
"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." — John 4:24
Zeal Thread: Zeal for His house cares not just that worship occurs — but what kind. It feels the difference between a room full of lifted hands and a room full of surrendered hearts.
Landing Question: "If God evaluated your worship based not on what your mouth was doing but on where your heart actually was — what would His assessment be?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DON’T SIT AT TABLES JESUS WOULD HAVE FLIPPED
JOHN 2:13-17

Some things in your life aren't meant to be managed — they're meant to be flipped. And the danger isn't that God won't flip them. The danger is that you'll pull up a chair.

In John 2, Jesus doesn't negotiate with the money changers. He doesn't ask them to move to a better spot or charge fairer rates. He surveys the situation, makes a whip, and moves with purpose. His first major public act wasn't a sermon — it was a disruption. And what drove Him? Zeal for His Father's house.

In this message, Pastor Tony identifies five tables that Jesus is overturning in the lives of believers today:
1. Corrupt Communication — Ephesians 4:29 Words that have decomposed from life-giving to life-taking.
2. Polluted Praise — Matthew 15:8 Drawing near with the mouth while the heart has quietly relocated.
3. Harmful Heresies — 2 Peter 2:1 Truth that has been selected rather than submitted to.
4. Divisive Drama — Romans 16:17 A splitting force dressed up as concern, loyalty, and discernment.
5. Religious Rebellion — 1 Samuel 15:23 Maintaining the appearance of submission while practicing the reality of defiance.

The temple after the tables were gone wasn't empty — it was ready. Clearing always precedes filling. The question isn't what you're losing. It's what God is making room for.

"Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up." — Psalm 69:9

Has God given up on Israel? Has He walked away from His covenant people, transferred everything to the church, and moved on? It is one of the most important questions in all of theology — and the answer has consequences that reach far beyond the walls of any church building.

In this third message of our series Why Israel Matters: Biblical Clarity in a Time of Confusion, Pastor Tony opens Romans 11 and lets Paul answer the question directly. Not with a maybe. Not with a nuanced theological hedge. With the strongest negation in the Greek language — mē genoito. Certainly not. God has not cast away His people. He never did. And Romans 11 proves it from every angle.

The key that unlocks this entire chapter is a single word — remnant. From the seven thousand God reserved in Elijah's day to the Jewish church of the first century to the growing Messianic Jewish movement of our own generation, God has always kept a faithful thread running through Israel. In every dark season. In every generation. When the thread looked like it was about to snap — God was holding it. The remnant is not a consolation prize. It is God's signature. It is the proof that He has never stopped working and never walked away.

In this message you will discover:
• Why Paul's grief over Israel in Romans 9 is itself a theological argument — and what it tells you about Israel's future
• What the story of Elijah under the juniper tree reveals about the remnant — and why God's answer to Elijah's despair is still being given today
• The pattern of the remnant throughout Scripture — from Noah to the first century church — and why it proves God has never dealt with Israel by wholesale abandonment
• Why Israel's stumbling was not their fall — and the staggering "how much more" logic Paul uses to point toward Israel's future fullness
• What the olive tree metaphor actually teaches about the church's relationship to Israel — and the one phrase in verse 24 that dismantles replacement theology completely
• The mystery of Romans 11:25–26 — what the fullness of the Gentiles means, when the hardening of Israel expires, and what all Israel will be saved actually refers to
• Why the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable — and what that means not just for Israel but for every believer in the room

This message does not end with a theological argument. It ends where Paul ends — on his knees. Because Romans 11 is not primarily a chapter about Israel. It is a chapter about the character of a God whose ways are past finding out — who works through remnants and stumbles and mysteries and irrevocable covenants to accomplish a plan so vast and so faithful that the only appropriate response is worship.

Key Scriptures: Romans 11:1–6, 11–12, 17–24, 25–29 | Romans 9:1–5 | Romans 10:1 | 1 Kings 19:9–18 | Zechariah 12:10 | Matthew 23:37–39

WHY ISRAEL MATTERS
Message 2 — The Blueprint Matters
Reading the Bible the Way God Intended

Have you ever had your words taken completely out of context? Someone repeated what you said but twisted the meaning — a text misread, an attitude assumed that was never there. It is one of the most frustrating experiences in human communication. And it happens to the Bible constantly.

Two people can sit down with the same Bible, read the same passage, and walk away with completely opposite conclusions. Not because one of them is dishonest — but because they are reading through different lenses. They are importing their own ideas into the text instead of letting the text speak for itself.

In this second message of our series Why Israel Matters: Biblical Clarity in a Time of Confusion, Pastor Tony introduces the single most important skill for understanding biblical prophecy — reading the Bible the way God actually wrote it. Theologians call it hermeneutics. We call it reading the blueprint correctly. And when you learn to do it — everything changes.
In this message you will discover:
• Why the way you read the Bible is just as important as whether you read it — and the one reading rule that simplifies everything
• How Jesus Himself modeled literal interpretation after the resurrection — and what that means for unfulfilled prophecy today
• Why the church is not the new Israel — and the two passages in Paul's letters that prove it beyond dispute
• The most precise prophecy in all of Scripture — Daniel's 70-Week countdown clock that predicted the exact day Jesus rode into Jerusalem 600 years in advance
• What the gap between Daniel's 69th and 70th week means — and why it is the key to understanding everything happening in the Middle East right now
• Why the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31 still has Israel's name on the deed — and what that means for the church
• How reading the Bible correctly changes the way you read the news, treat Jewish people, and share the gospel

If you have ever been confused about Israel's place in God's plan — or wondered whether the church has replaced Israel — this message will give you the clarity you have been looking for. Not from opinion. From the blueprint.

Key Scriptures: 2 Timothy 2:15 | Luke 24:44–45 | 1 Corinthians 10:32 | Ephesians 3:1–6 | Daniel 9:24–27 | Jeremiah 31:31–34 | Romans 11:17–18, 25

Why Israel Matters is a five-part series examining the biblical truth about Israel, the church, antisemitism, Zionism, and the coming Kingdom — from a pretribulational, premillennial perspective that takes God's Word at face value.

In honor of Memorial Day, we offer this prayer. We thank God for the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms. Those who answered the call to defend our nation. Those who left their families and never returned home. Those who laid down their lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. It is because of their sacrifice that we could gather yesterday and worship our God and Creator openly and without fear of persecution. May America never forget the sacrifice of these men and women in defense of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And may America never forget that we were founded on the principles of one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!

No Church Tonight.
Have a blessed and safe Memorial Day!
