Romans 11 and the Near-and-Far Fulfillment of Prophecy

We're in Romans chapter seven, so the two or three that still have regular Bibles, you can turn in your Bible to Romans chapter 11. That phrase hardly works anymore. Does it turn in your Bible? People take their phones, turn it around.

What's he talking about? Um, so we got a little, we've got a little bit of review. We started here talking about the parallel of two olive trees. Okay. So there's a Jewish olive tree. And we went back into Jeremiah chapter 11.

We began to talk about this topic just a little bit last time and just kind of, kind of got into it. But what we found out was that, oh, we talked about this. Most of us that study theology. And most of you in this room know that, uh, most prophecy has a near fulfillment and a far fulfillment.

Some have said that's a contrivance of, of people who are dispensationalists. Well, people who are hyper dispensationalists do have a lot of contrivances, but that's not one of them because it's a fact that there are near and far prophecies on almost every prophecy.

And it's so easy to demonstrate. It's beyond me debating that anymore. It's a fact. So in this passage, we have the same thing going on. And so primarily talking about Israel before she went into Babylonian captivity, but the far, the far, and by far, I mean, distant, the far prophecy, I believe applies squarely to America and you say, well, how do you know it's America?

Well, I don't know that it's America. And I give you a year to shoot down the theory. After that, it becomes the truth and dogma and so forth. Not really. I'm teasing, but, uh, you you're, you're welcome.

That's what we do here. And if you shoot it down, then I get up and apologize and say, I was wrong. And, um, Burge shot it down and Burge gets up and tells how it really works and that's how we do it.

Right. Okay. So in this, I'm not going to put it all up there cause this is review, but I'll give you a little taste of what we saw. They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers. So these sins that Israel were involved in, we're not new.

Their forefathers had done the same thing when they backslid and God did the same thing with them and took them into captivity until they began to pray again. Right. Hallelujah. Sister, come on, preach it.

She's my grandchild. She's going to be the takeover when I die. Well, maybe not. Well, she'll have classes for the ladies. All right. Um, so, um, they, you know, they went into captivity before this, didn't they?

And then that brings them back to prayer and God answers the prayer and raises up, uh, a savior, a human savior to take them back out and bring them back into the land again and again, it's a cycle. Judges talks about it so many times, but it's all through their history.

So this is half it's about to happen again. They're, they're doing the same sins that their forefathers did. And the first sin, and it's the same way with the modern church. The first sin is when you start lifting anything else on an equal plane with the authority of the word of God.

And I'm talking about the written word. I'm not, I'm talking about the written word of God. When you put something else on the same plane with that, with regard to authority, then you're falling, your fault, your church is falling.

And it's so subtle. You don't know you're doing it. If you have all these programs in your church, you look around and say, well, where's scripture, it says, well, I have these and you can't find one.

Well, then you just put the tradition of your church higher than what the word of God says you might should be doing. You see? And if we do that same, I'm preaching to us too, right? Not just our internet friends out in the world, who knows where they might have gone to church.

I don't know where you guys have gone to church in the past, but I just know that I've been involved with churches where that sort of thing was happening and I call them Babto Catholic if they were Baptist, because the big mistake of the Catholic church, the Roman Catholic church, once they started receiving government money, the big mistake was that they just put their tradition on an equal plane or even higher plane than the word of God.

And they're there at that point, they began to tank. I'm not saying, I mean, I've got some friends that are Roman Catholic that I feel are saved, but they're not saved by their tradition. And, uh, there's a fine line there.

You can love the tradition if you want to, but if you think that you have to do that plus Jesus, then Paul says, then Jesus avail of you, nothing. Right. So there's a fine line there. And we don't know where that line is, but it's there same way with Baptist.

If, if, and we're not Baptist anymore. So I don't know the reason I pick on them is I grew up Baptist. Okay. I grew up Southern Baptist and was independent Baptist for a long time. I love to pick on them.

And fortunately the Lord awakened Charlotte and myself to the fact that legalism is bad and I got a really bad taste of that among the independent. So now like, if here's legalism, I'm I'm here. Okay.

It's all about grace. You know, I don't have to tell you what to wear, how long your dress has to be ladies, or if you can't wear pants, ladies, or if you men, doc, if your hair's touching your ears, I don't have to tell you that, you know why?

Because I know the Holy spirit. I've come to know him and I know that he can tell you that if, if he ain't going to tell you that, by the way, I just picked some stupid things they pick. He's not going to worry about that, but if he wanted to, he could, couldn't he?

So I don't need to worry about it. I, you know, most of the things that I don't like about you, I don't have to tell you, I just pray, right? I get prayed for more than anybody in the room, because if I tell you, you'll never forget it and you probably won't listen to it anyway.

So I'm not going to tell you usually now, if I have to, I might, I mean, you, you know, like you might tell me something if you had to, if you thought it would help me and edify me and build me. And that doesn't mean it's real positive.

It could be, you know, like a, an admonition, a serious one, as long as it builds me and makes me a better Christian, you might have to share it. But if you don't, here's what I know, brother Otis would say, if you don't have to share it, don't share it.

Pray for him. I love what he used to teach along these lines. He said like brother, David only give people the information that they need. No, like that's brilliant. This idea in the modern church of transparency is ridiculous.

And it's not in the Bible unless you're a Roman Catholic where you have to tell every, you know, you share everything that you're doing and thinking with your spouse, even that's insane. That, that by the way, it's probably the worst marriage counseling I've seen.

I've seen whole churches that are doing this now, especially on the West coast. All right. So they're saying, you know, like you'd be totally transparent, tell your wife, everything you're thinking. Gentlemen, do you think that would work real well?

Ladies, do you want to know everything we're thinking? Of course not. Because you're assuming that, that the Holy spirit comes in and says, Hey dude, you're not supposed to be thinking that. And your new man says, Hey, you're not allowed to think that I own this body now.

Right? That's what you're assuming we're doing. And we should, if we're not doing that, you need to tell us, but this, this is just some really garbage being taught in churches, but we're in the end times.

And Jesus said, most preachers today are false most. All right. So you have to judge everything a preacher says by the word of God. End of rabbit trail. First, it does somewhat fit the topic. The first thing they put aside is the word of God.

It's not the authority anymore. I love the thing about, uh, used to talk about, you know, most preachers just quote what they heard older, cool, cool, older preachers say they don't know if it's in the Bible or not Otis.

And I removed probably at least 200 things from our preaching and teaching vocabulary that we used to teach that we didn't realize was not in the Bible that we'd heard other preachers say through 13 years, maybe 200 of those words and phrases we stopped saying because it's not biblical.

Is that amazing? Every preacher has that few will admit it, but it just needs to be the Bible. All right. So they refuse to hear the words of God. So what's the next step? Then they go to other gods. That's always the way it is.

You know, that most of your friends, I would dare say I'm right about this. Most of your friends are worshiping a false Jesus. And they have invented a new Jesus. That's not the Jesus of the Bible and they're worshiping him because it's comfortable.

That's an idol, by the way, that's another God. And the apostle Paul said, there are other Jesus is there are other gospels and there are other spirits. But he said, none of them are real. They're not really other because they're false.

Well, that's the next step, right? If you don't listen, if you don't like the God of the Bible, then you create one. You like you create a God that loves everybody. So I thought he did. Let's go back to step one.

You refuse to hear the words of God. The words of God say that he doesn't, the scripture says he doesn't love everybody. So you have a God that does you're worshiping a false God. You invented it. Might as well call him Buddha.

He probably loved everybody and every kind of food. Whatever. Right. And little children, a lot of that going around Hollywood from what I hear. Uh, so why is lots of rabbit trails today? Um, so other gods, like your God, your Jesus that you worship.

Well, he died for everybody. Did he, then what do you believe saves people? Like it's Jesus blood plus what name the next thing? What else helps save us? Nothing. Well, if it's Jesus blood plus nothing saves you, then if he shed his blood for everyone, everyone for whom he shared it will be saved because he doesn't fail.

All right. So you got a major problem. If you are worshiping a Jesus who died for everybody. And when I have to be specific about the language, though, there is a sense in which he did die for everybody.

But let's put it very, very strictly. If you think he ransomed everybody, if you think he gave his blood to ransom every individual, then you're worshiping a different Jesus than the Jesus of the Bible.

Now that can be really hard. If that's the first time you've ever heard anybody stand up and preach this. And it's not the topic today, although it is in the sermon, but I just know I'm not going to get to it today because we'll be out of time before I get there.

But it's there. It'll be Lord willing to be there next Sunday. You'll get to it and you'll see what I'm talking about. The Bible says so clearly in the book of Isaiah and all through the new Testament book of Mark, different places that Jesus was a ransom for many and many can never mean all, all can sometimes mean many though.

It's an interesting, logical truth. It's a fact I'll get to that probably next Sunday. We'll go through it till then. Just study. You don't have to agree with me. Just go study, you know, go look for verses that make it look like he died for everybody.

And what you're going to find out, you might find five, no more than five in the old Bible, you'll 500, you'll find hundreds that show that he didn't. You might find five. So then what we'll do is we'll take those five and we'll look at them in context.

We'll look at them in the context in which they're written and we'll ask who's being spoken to and what's this about? Does it apply? And so forth. And we'll use the 10 proper rules of Bible interpretation to see what those verses actually do say.

And you're going to find out they don't say what you think they say. How do I know? Cause I've been there and done that. I'll never forget when I found out that Dr. Freeman didn't think Jesus died for every individual.

And I thought that he did think that he was my mentor, by the way, he's a Jewish believer with four earned doctorates. And I thought, well, I didn't know that. So I called him on the phone because I heard him tell another preacher that I just sitting there listening.

I was, wow. I didn't know that. Didn't know he believed that. So I called him on the phone. I said, what do you do with. And I gave him one verse, one of the five that you can find. There's about five.

I gave him that one. And he said, what do you mean? What do I do with it? It's scripture. I just, I believe it with all my heart. I said, well, but it says, it says here, he died for everybody. He said, brother, David, he said, you know what?

I'm not going to be able to teach that verse to you in three minutes on the phone. Why don't you drive down to Fort worth and spend a day and I'll show you what it means. So I did. And he did, he was absolutely right.

I had never studied the context that the verse was in. Didn't have a clue what the verse was talking about. I knew what it sounded like. It said, but I didn't know what it meant. And that's what matters.

I wait, you need to do this research for me. Uh, my re my research people do this research for me. Um, Mrs. Huber, you're my research person. So look this up. What smart man, what cool old preacher said, it's not important.

What the Bible says it's important. What it means. Find that for me. Somebody said that. I don't know, but it's pretty smart. All right. So now we have other gods. Cause we, we make them be who make us feel good.

And that's who we worship sometimes. And I, and I know I'm not, I'm not talking to people here in this room like that. I don't know anyone in this room like that. And I, most of you guys out there, I know, and you're not like that.

So I'm preaching to America. Okay. Not just to us, then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry into gods and to whom they offer incense, but they shall not save them. So guess what?

The prophet, the man of God says, okay, they've created all these false gods. And when it comes time where they're about to be destroyed by an enemy nation, they're going to pray to these false gods and those false gods aren't real.

So guess what? They're not going to help them see that. So we talked about that last time. All right. So here's the progression of apostasy that was in that whole passage that I didn't just cover. First, they refused to hear God's word.

Then they went after false gods and they broke the covenant. Now this was the mosaic covenant, by the way, not the Abrahamic covenant. Very important to know the difference because the mosaic covenant was conditional, God says, if you do this, I'll do this, I'll bless you.

If you, if you worship bail, I will curse you and I'll take you into captivity, send you into captivity, et cetera. Number four, God brings evil on them, which was part of the covenant. He said, if you worship false gods, I will bring evil.

And so God did. And then number five, God will not hear their prayers at that point because now he will hear the prayers of his own, but you, you have to differentiate between the nation of Israel, which pictures everyone that goes to church and claims to be God's child, right.

Versus the ones in, in the earlier passages, two, three weeks ago, in these passages, it says those whom he foreknew the fact in Roman chapter 11. He says those whom he foreknew. He did not cast away.

So Israel had both, you know, three kinds of people, save sheep, lost sheep and goats, all three kinds. And, uh, so God never cast away the sheep, but part of the nation got cast away as because they weren't keeping the covenant, you know why?

Because lost people can't keep a covenant like that. Like the mosaic covenant facts, say people can't really keep it. The only way in which you could say they would is they did the sacrifices. Would you agree with that bill?

They did those by faith and they were saved by faith, not by the sacrifices because they pictured the true sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It was yet future for them, but, but still it rolled their sins forward for another year, every year until Jesus finally died for his saints from the old Testament and us.

Uh, but God didn't hear the prayers of this nation that was turned away from God until they went into captivity and began to really pray from their hearts. Then he heard their prayers and set them free.

Isn't that the cycle? Number six, they pray to false gods, but they cannot save them. And number seven, the number of gods increased. They found more false things to worship. The further they got away from the word of God until finally they began to offer their children as sacrifices to bail.

That's the end of it, right? How many hundreds of thousands of children have we offered by way of abortion to the U S bail government? It's bail. I mean, the gut, listen, you don't believe me, the democratic party of the U S government and some Republicans think they're God.

How do I know? Because only God is smart enough to figure out the economy. He created it. He's the only one I'm dealing with that every day, right? With trade way. I deal with it every day. I look at the whole economy and the whole world every day.

And no man understands it, nor can predict it. Only God can, but the Democrats say, oh, we'll fix it. We just print money. That's a temporary fix, but that ain't going to fix it. So they think they're God.

Number two, the weather climate change. We're going to fix that. We just shut down the oil industry, get rid of your cars, get rid of all plastic, which ends all the space shut space shuttle, the spacecraft, every airplane you fly, all of it.

You know, the Tesla mostly made of plastic. It won't exist anymore when they shut down the oil industry, but that's what they're going to do because they're God and they're going to fix the environment, right?

And then the other thing you get to decide, God gets to decide who gets to live and who gets to die. So they determine they're going to abort babies. They think they're God. Government is not God. Government is bail.

All right now. So as we turn away from the word of God and we invent false Jesus's and worship them and false gods and worship him as if he's God, we move toward destruction as a nation. And I know we're not part of this nation.

We're part of the heavenly nation. I know all that, but if you're like me, you do love the history of America and the fact that God used America to print more Bibles, send more missionaries in the other country in the history of God's world.

So it's important what happens to America to us. Part of our job is to be salt and light to America because that's where we are. So it is important. And I know that's not our first citizenship, but it is part of our citizenship and it's important.

Everything about it's important. You say, wait, brother David, you shouldn't talk about Roman chapter one, where it mentions 21 sins. And the one it talks about the most is homosexuality. And people say, well, that's not a sin.

God made me that way. Then why is it listed with 21 other sins or 20 other sins? And it's the one talked about the most as the worst sin. You say no sins, worse than other than check out Sodom and Gomorrah.

They were destroyed over that sin. They weren't destroyed because of lying or stealing or fornication. They were destroyed because of homosexuality. You say, well, don't talk about that. Well, why shouldn't I?

Because I want to tell you something. If I had lived and been a godly man in Sodom and my grandbabies were there, they could have been killed because of the sin of those people. So don't you think I have an interest since I've got nine grandchildren in America, I have an interest in whether America supports homosexuality or not, because God hates it and God will destroy nations over it and has done it.

So do I have an interest to be able to say something about it? Yeah. Why not? We have freedom of speech. Don't we still it's kind of ended on January 6th, but it's not totally gone. Um, of the March to the Capitol by a friend of mine who was there, who's a professional videographer who does TV commercials, that professional at that level, and he talks about it and he shows it as he shows it, he gives his testimony, what happened that day.

He said, look, what I saw was totally different than what the news agencies are showing, because what I saw was men and women with their kids and grandparents and some in walkers and some in wheelchairs going to exercise their freedom of speech, thinking that the election had been stolen.

We didn't see anybody that wanted to hurt policemen or any of that stuff. We don't even know where they came from. We didn't see, they weren't in the crowd. We didn't see them. So, I mean, there's two different stories being told about that day, but we no longer have freedom of speech in this country, unless you talk about climate change in a way, like we're going to listen, I just read something.

This is really good. You'll you'll enjoy this, but in Chile, there's a family, a wealthy family there who bought a huge ranch two or three generations ago, back when people still had common sense and wisdom, and they ran thousands of head, tens of thousands of head of cattle in Chile, you know, you don't make a big salary, do you?

But they were well-to-do because they had all those cattle. So now the generation that now owns that land, they, they got rid of all the cattle and they built a hotel, a wellness hotel on this land.

And they said, the reason they got rid of the cattle is because they fart so much that it's destroying the environment. That's good science. Pardon the French. Prada day. Glad we had children's shirts today anyway, but probably a word most kids know, except in my house where Charlotte is, they don't know that one.

They don't get to say that one. Okay. Um, in fact, there is no word for that in our house. I don't know what we do. Just ignore it. Now I'm definitely on a rabbit trail or a cow trail. I'm going to get in trouble.

I'm stopping. Okay. All right, let's go. All right. So we ended there last time. And, uh, we, we start talking about this passage of scripture where it's going to talk about these two different trees.

And it's interesting because, um, you see this man named Joshua, who is the high priest, and you have this other man named Zerubbabel, if you remember the story, who's kind of the, uh, secular government type man.

He was the man of God too, though. And the two of them are going to go back and rebuild Jerusalem after Babylon destroyed it. Right? So that's what this is talking about here. And this Joshua, who was the high priest, look at verse three, what God had to do.

He had to take his filthy garments and replace them with garments of righteousness. Is that a beautiful picture of what God did with all of us when he saved us and all that's so cool in there, I wish we could talk about it again, but here let's talk about this a little bit.

Cause we don't have a lot of time today here now. Oh, Joshua, the high priest, thou and I fellows that sit before thee for they are men wondered at. Oh boy. The preachers. Can I have your autograph? I used to be independent bad as you wanted to get the preacher's autograph because you turned them into like, uh, like heroes until they ran off with the organ player who normally was a female back then.

So that was better than now. But right now they kind of did that back in back here too. Now here's what I want you to do. I have evidence that indicates very strongly that there is a far fulfillment of this prophecy yet in the future.

I also have evidence that the apostle John, who the holy spirit led to write the book of revelation had a PhD in Zachariah and other old Testament prophets that he had memorized most of what they wrote, maybe in a paraphrase manner, not word for word, but he could probably paraphrase just about everything Zachariah said from his mind.

Not to mention the holy spirit was the true author of what John wrote. John was just the penman. So you had that too, but you're going to see Zachariah all through the book of revelation. And so that is the far fulfillment of Zachariah and John wrote about it too, in the same words he did.

It even talks about these two trees we're talking about here. And yet this was written what? 2 ,800, 600, at least six, 500, 400 years ago. Oh, I will bring forth my servant, the branch. Now, who do you think that's a prophecy of who else in scripture has ever called the branch?

Jesus Christ. He's telling the holy spirit just told Zachariah some information that not a lot of people knew back at that time. I'm going to bring forth the Messiah for behold, the stone that I've laid before Joshua, uh, upon one stone shall be seven eyes.

What does that picture? The seven eyes. You see, you see that when John in the book of revelation, when John described what he saw in heaven, he saw a throne that had seven lamps in front of it, and he saw a lamb.

And when you looked in the eyes of the lamb, you saw seven spirits. So what does it picture? It's allegorical, but what does it picture? Who does it picture? I should say the seven lamps, what do lamps have inside of them?

That makes them burn oil. What does oil picture? When you anoint someone, you'll know it with oil. Was it picture the holy spirit there? You have Jesus mentioned in verse eight and you have the holy spirit mentioned in verse nine.

Behold, I will engrave the graving thereof say it's the Lord of hosts. And I will remove the iniquity of that land. What land do you think that might be talking about? Israel one day I will remove their sin in a day.

Do you think there's anything in the book of revelation that talks about something like that happening? Well, there is, and you talked about it. Bless your heart, brother bill. You didn't walk all over my sermon this time you did last week, but not this week, but you, you did talk about this subject, uh, a little bit.

And, um, so I'm going to assume people already forgot what you said. And I'm just going to keep going. Okay. No, no, no. It's I love it. It's awesome. Um, so, um, what you talked about in Sunday school today was you said all Israel shall be saved was the scripture you referred to, and you said most commentaries don't think that means what you think it means by the day.

Cause what I think it means is all Israel will be saved. That's what I think it means. I think it says that, but I think it also means that, but I think it's at a specific point in time when it happens because it's not right now.

Well, it could be like this afternoon. We don't know when the Lord's coming back, do we? But, um, my mentor was Jewish, but he was one of very few Jewish people say back in those days, very few of them got saved because they had blindness in part put upon them by the Lord, right?

But they could be saved. Couldn't they? They can be all right, but there's going to be a day when every Jew that's alive on the face of the earth will be saved. And what day is that? That's the second coming.

When they see him as lightning from the East to the, to the West, when they see him in the air, coming in the air, like he departed from here in the book of Acts and other places that recorded how he left here, they're going to bow the knee.

And everyone will know that's their Messiah. You know why? Cause the Holy ghost will call them. That's the only reason they'll know like two seconds earlier, they rejected him and hated him just like you did two seconds before you won't think you hated him and maybe you didn't, if you were lost sheep, I'd see there's another interesting thing we could talk about.

Did you really hate him? You didn't want him. I can say that clearly, or you would have received him already, but then all of a sudden you did. Why? Because the Holy spirit called you and opened your eyes and opened your ears and so forth.

And that's going to happen to every Jew. And look what happens in a day. And that says I'll remove their iniquity of the land in how many days does that say? All right. Now, does that mean like a thousand years?

Does that mean a day? It means a day and that day repeats it. That's called, you know, emphasis say it's the Lord of hosts. Shall you call every man, his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.

Now in America today, can you call everyone your brother or sister or everyone, your neighbor? Not really. Now I've got so many different theories than what we learned from our theological studies. Like when Jesus said, love your neighbors, yourself, I've always taught.

That didn't mean just anybody that's your neighbor. That meant like a brother or sister cry. You know, they may not go to your church, but they're, they're a child of God that lives near you and they need help.

That's I've always felt like it means that first, it certainly means that first before you help other people. And here, it's kind of clear that it's talking about save people in this context, because you're looking forward to a time when you're about to go into the millennial kingdom and you call every man, your brother or sister.

At that point, there will be a day when that happens. And the angel that talked with me came again and waked me as a man that was waked out of sleep. That's how I am every day till 10 o 'clock in the morning and said unto me, what see is thou and I said, oh, I have looked and behold a candlestick of gold and a bowl, you know, like a little thing on top of it that would hold oil that you could light and seven lamps there on and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof.

And I saw two olive trees by one upon the right side of the bowl and the other upon the left side. And those olive trees are why we're in this passage because we're studying Romans verse by verse. And in Romans chapter 11, Paul starts talking about the olive tree that God broke some true branches off of and blinded Israel in part so that he could take the wild olive tree and take branches off of that and graft them into the real olive tree.

That's the Gentiles that got saved. That's us. And that has a lot of biblical, um, like first mentioned things going on. Where's that mentioned for the first time in the Bible and so forth. And this happens to be it.

So it's important because it sort of sets the scene for what this is going to be talking about. And the same allegory is used to talk about something similar. It's not exactly the same thing, but very similar.

That's just as important. We'll see that in a minute, but that's why we're in Zacharias because of these two olive trees. Because Paul talks about the two trees, the Gentile tree and the Jewish tree. Okay.

Now both of those trees picture the Gentiles and the Jews. Now, if you take the Gentiles and the Jews, that's every human, right? Because the Gentiles is comprised of all kinds of races. Would you agree with that?

And Paul spent most of his time talking to the Jew first and the Gentile Gentile. And he had the biggest difficulty getting Jews to believe that God would save a Gentile. Right. I mean, they just didn't believe God to save a Gentile.

I mean, they knew they were proselytized, but it hardly ever happened. And they just didn't really believe they, you know what, they didn't want God to save a Gentile. Think of Jonah, for example, they, they, they didn't want to believe it.

And Paul says, you know what? You're wrong about that. In fact, God called me to be the apostle to the Gentiles, which he was a Jew of Jews and they knew it. He's smarter than anyone in the room. And they knew it.

And he said, not only that, but Jesus will save all men. Now in the context of that, what did he mean? Did he mean every individual or did he mean he'll save Jews and some Gentiles? You see, it's very clear.

He doesn't mean every individual. He means God will save some people from every people group. In the world, including the Gentiles and all the different divisions of the Gentiles. He'll save some from every people group.

That's what it means. In fact, in Greek, the word passes all. It doesn't mean every individual usually, usually means some from every group. It can mean every individual. So you have to go by the context and we'll be looking at that next Sunday, I would imagine.

So here you have these two olive trees, Gentile and Jew, Jew and Gentile Jews, always first Jew and Gentile, and each of them consists of three kinds of people. Law sheep, save sheep and goats. Okay. So he sees these things.

So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me saying, what are these, my Lord, and then the angel that talked with me answered and said to me, you don't know what those are, then that makes you feel funny.
