Israel and the End Times (Time Square Church) — David Davis

Israel’s Restoration and the Prophetic Word

I have set the Lord before my eyes, so my heart will not be shaken. I have set my will to seek His light, I will wait upon the Lord. I will lift my eyes up to the hill, to the God of all creation. I will lift my heart and worship Him, yes, I will glory Him, though it will not be shaken.

In the Word of God about Israel, tonight he will be sharing again. He'll be going in the Old Testament and the New Testament. And tonight we'll have a shouting time and Karen will be able to sing with us again, hallelujah.

Then Tuesday night we'll be doing, my wife and I will be doing what we're calling a musical presentation here called A Song in the Night. We live in a dark place, the Middle East. We come through wars.

Last summer, the summer before last, 4 ,000 rockets hit our area. We ran to the bomb shelter 10 times in one day. So we need a song in the night, you know, a victory song. And so do you. You need it for the darkness of New York or wherever you've come that we sing a song of victory in the midst of encroaching darkness, amen?

And so if you have Jewish friends and you're from the New York area, you may want to bring some of them here. I know some are coming, people that don't know the Lord yet. It might be a good thing for you to bring them to hear a nice Jewish girl from Detroit sing who now lives in high fall Mount Carmel, you know.

And of course the Lord will be lifted up and we're going to believe the Lord will meet with us on Tuesday night. Each time I come back here, I have to fight being overwhelmed because I have history with this place.

I was here many, many years ago before I knew the Lord and came to the Tony Awards that the play that I was in on Broadway was up for some awards. And this wasn't a church yet, this was a theater. So I go all the way back to that.

And I remember the day when Times Square Church got control of this place. A few of us walked in back there. It was David Wilkerson and his wife Gwen and a few others. And the men that were the union stagehands, they were throwing the scenery of a play that had just closed, an abomination of a play that had just closed that we'd been praying about.

All the scenery was going out on 51st Street and the saints were coming in the front door. Hallelujah. It was tremendous. And I was ordained a minister of the gospel at this spot. It's overwhelming to me that it would be in a Broadway theater where I came as a heathen, you know.

Many years. And my wife and I, Pastor David Wilkerson laid hands on us at this spot. And he spoke 19 years ago and he spoke that this church, this congregation will stand with Israel according to his word and that this is the first fruits because the gospel is to the Jew first and also to the non-Jews.

And that this church would be ascending church. So we were the first. And when I come back here and go up in some of the offices and I see people with backpacks and suitcases and I hear what's happening in Jamaica and Africa and all the other.

It's just wonderful to see how God is not only impacting New York City and the metropolitan area but that he is reaching the nations and that he is restoring the need for the church to stand with Israel in these last days.

So if you'll open your Bibles, let's look at 2 Peter. As you're turning there to the 2nd epistle of the Jewish apostle Kepha was his name. Peter, Petros, Rock. If you're interested, my books and Pastor Peter's books are back there about what's happening in Israel and other things.

Our newsletters, CDs and DVDs. If you're interested more about what God's doing in Israel and getting involved, you're welcome to go, you know, check all that out. Okay, 2 Peter chapter 1 verse 19. And we have the prophetic word confirmed or made more sure which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

We are encouraged here by the apostle Peter that the prophetic word is our light in the darkness in which we live. So you can watch the news about Israel or read the New York Times or whatever and you'll get certain kinds of information.

But we need to know what does the word of God say about Israel and the Jewish people especially in these last days. So that we are aligned with God's word and with His heart. And it's a warning here that the prophetic word of God is sure.

And we need to heed it until the morning star, Jesus, Yeshua keeps rising in our hearts and we see the prophecies fulfilled. Now, I have a PhD. I was a seeker of truth. I'm a doctor of philosophy. And I had all the books, every philosopher you ever heard of, I had a whole library trying to find truth.

But when I met Jesus, I met the truth. And I found the truth. And so all the other stuff didn't matter anymore, this matters. And I felt robbed for why didn't anyone tell me years before. And so I devoured the word of God.

And so as I began devouring the word of God and learning to get filled with the Holy Spirit and learning to hear the voice of the Spirit, the Spirit told me to go to Israel. I wasn't married. I could pick up and go.

I got on an airplane and I went to Israel. And when I got to Israel, I drove up to Jerusalem. I started to weep. My father was a historian and I love history. And Jerusalem, there was something different.

It wasn't New York or London or Naples. There was something about this place. And as I got there and went into Jerusalem, I saw all of these Jews. And I was reading the history of what had happened about the War of Independence in 1948 and the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War and all of that.

And I saw they're back from a hundred nations. They came from all over the Middle East and Europe. And I see all these Jewish people here. And so I read, for instance, look at Isaiah 11 or I'll just read it to you if you just want to listen.

For instance, as I searched the scriptures there in Jerusalem many years ago, there are many, many scriptures you could look at about this. But Isaiah 11 really spoke to me clearly. It was the prophetic word of God made more sure to me that was light in the darkness that I was trying to understand.

What is it about Israel? What does all this have to do with anything? And so in verse 11, Isaiah 11, 11, it says, It shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall set his hand again a second time to recover the remnant of his people who are left.

From all these different nations that are named, they're all through the Middle East and so on. And a lot of the Jewish people had come from Muslim nations where they had been persecuted and had to flee.

They'd come back to the to the nation after it was established miraculously in 1948. After they escaped from the Holocaust and so on, they had a safe place to be. And he says, verse 12, he will set up a banner for the nations, a sign.

It's a sign for the nations. And the Lord was speaking to me about all of this. And he will gather the outcasts of Israel. I saw that over 50 times in the scriptures, it says that he who scattered Israel will gather him.

And I stood there and I said, this is now. This is the prophetic word. You know, biblical prophecy is simple. God says he'll do it and then he does it. You know, he says he's coming on a donkey. He came on a donkey 700 years before the Messiah was born.

He said it's going to be Bethlehem. It came in Bethlehem. I've stood with Orthodox Jews and Jerusalem says, look, it says Bethlehem. No, no, that's Christian. No, no. I said, look, it's Micah, Micah. And I said, oh, I better go talk to my rabbi.

I don't understand that. But God said he was going to do it and he does it. We have the sure word of prophecy that Peter was talking about. Jerusalem is mentioned 900 times in the Bible. How many times do you think it's mentioned in the Koran?

The Great Commission and Christ’s Return to Jerusalem

It's not there. Do you understand this? What is going on is about the word of God and the fulfillment of God's word. Now, turn to Acts chapter 1. When Jesus left, before he comes back the second time, he was on the Mount of Olives.

And you would think that the last words that the Son of God would say to his followers and disciples would be very, very important. And I'm wondering if everybody here knows what the last words were. It wasn't the Great Commission.

It was verse 8, Acts 1 .8. You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria and the ends of the earth. My wife and I and Peter, we are here as God's witnesses.

We are witnessing to you. We will teach the theology, but we will witness to you what we have seen, what we have tasted, what we have experienced. Biblical prophecy is empirical. That's a big academic word, means that you can prove it.

If he said he's gonna do it and he does it, that's the word of God. That's what's happening. So he says, you will be witnesses to me or my witnesses. And if you look at the end of verse, well, let's read verse 11.

He also said, men of Galilee, this is the Jewish Messiah, the root of David and the offspring of David, Jesus. The lion of the tribe of Judah. He is the lion of the tribe of Judah still. Judah means Jew.

It means praise. In heaven, he's the lion of the tribe of Judah. That's what Revelation says. Hallelujah. He's the lamb of God on the throne, but he's also the lion and he's coming back. He won't be coming on a donkey, folks.

He's coming in glory to judge the nations. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the heaven? This same Jesus who was taken from you into heaven will so come in like manner as you saw him go into heaven.

He's coming back exactly as he left. And we know that from Zechariah chapter 14, his feet will be on the Mount of Olives. The very place that he left. He's coming. Hallelujah. I'm sorry to tell you, he's not coming to Central Park.

You pray that there's an outpouring of the Holy Spirit of Central Park. But he's coming to Jerusalem and he's coming to the Mount of Olives. The Lord will fight against all those nations that come against Jerusalem.

Zechariah 4, 3 and 4 says, and his feet will be on. He's coming back to the exact place where he left from. You know, as I stood on the Mount of Olives, I'd go down into the Garden of Gethsemane and read all the four accounts of what happened there.

And what he went through in getting close to the heart of Jesus years ago in Israel. And then go on the Mount of Olives and I would read these things. And I would realize, this is what's happening today.

We're moving toward this now. And I am privileged to live in these last days, the end times. And somehow God is giving me this tremendous burden and burning about Israel. Now, when will his feet stand on the Mount of Olives?

Well, turn to Matthew 23. We're interested in this. And his disciples were interested in this. They asked him, how will we know when you're coming back? Well, you know the great chapter, Matthew 24, which is, if you want to study what's happening in the last days.

Jesus told us in Matthew 24 and Luke 21, study those two chapters. It's all there. And we get some of it. Sometimes, you know, there's going to be great deception. The heart of many, agape love of many is going to grow cold.

All those things, earthquakes and all the rest of it. You know all of that. But look at verse 13, Matthew 24. He who endures to the end shall be saved. And the gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations.

And then the end will come. Now, praise God that this church is getting the gospel out as a witness to all the nations and any other churches around the world. Now, for those of you that maybe, if there are any people of Arab background here or have a concern about that.

I want to tell you something. We have a congregation on Mount Carmel that is Arabs and Jews. We oversee an Arab language meeting that will be meeting tonight in Haifa on Mount Carmel. We planted a Lebanese church that speaks Arabic.

Well, I've been to Indonesia. I've been in a church that has 30 ,000 people and most of them are ex-Muslims. There are 30 new evangelical congregations in Baghdad alone. There are 30 ,000 new believers in Iraq.

There is a revival going on among the Kurds. There is a revival going on in Egypt. God is moving all over the Muslim world. And these Muslims that we come to the Lord, they read the scriptures and they understand God's purposes for Israel.

And we embrace one another. Hallelujah. So the gospel needs to go to the ends of the earth. And it is. We need to keep praying and sending and sending and stay back with the baggage and pray if you can't go.

But get involved in it. Hallelujah. That's tremendous. But there's something we miss. There are no chapter numbers when Matthew wrote this on a scroll. You know, Levi was his name. So go back to the beginning of Matthew 24.

Well, the end of Matthew 23. Matthew 23, verse 37. Here's Jesus and his heart for Jerusalem. And look what he says. Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who were sent to her.

How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you were not willing. See, your house has left you desolate. For I say to you, you shall see me no more until you say, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

There's an until there. The Jews have been set aside as all the Gentiles come in until he's speaking to Jerusalem. He's speaking to the Jews. He's speaking. He's weeping over Jerusalem. He's jealous for Jerusalem.

That's his heart. And he says, you're not going to see me until you say in Hebrew. It's Baruch Haba B'Shem Adonai. We sing that we prophesy. There are now approximately 15 ,000 Jewish believers in Israel.

More Jews are turning to the Lord now than any time since the book of Acts. But when they say that when there's a national repentance and crying out to the Lord, whatever it takes for us to get there, when there is a national anthem of Baruch Haba B'Shem Adonai, he's coming back.

Israel as the Fig Tree in End-Times Prophecy

His feet will be on the Mount of Olives. So this is two-pronged. Pray that the gospel goes to the ends of the earth and pray that the Jews turn to their Messiah. So he'll come back. Hallelujah. Now look at chapter 24, verse 32.

Now look, he's talking about the end times. He's talking about what we're all about here today. Jesus, this is Yeshua, Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of God talking. Verse 32. After he tells us all these things that are going to happen.

You know, he said it will be like the days of Noah. You know, giving and buying and selling and going to parties and marrying. I was praying in Central Park yesterday. Pastor Carter happened to call me while I was praying there.

I was watching all the people. You know, I used to play softball over there, you know. The Broadway Show League and all that stuff. I was watching the kids starting baseball. All these Asians are jogging and keeping in good shape.

People are ice skating and I thought, this is the days of Noah. They don't know what's coming. Praise God for the remnant of people that know the Lord out there. But they think Broadway and taking pictures and all that is important.

But my friends, Jesus tells us what's going to happen. And as the Jews turn to Jesus, we're getting closer to the end. Israel is the key to the end times to see all of this. Now, look at verse 32. Now, learn the parable from the fig tree.

Israel is the fig tree. Why do I say that? Because Israel is called the fig tree in the Old Testament over and over and over. And there's a great longing in the heart of Jews for centuries. That they read the scriptures and the Psalms.

We'll come back to the land and sit under our fig tree. Now, we have a drug rehab. We established the first one in Israel and it's called House of Victory. It's on Mount Carmel. We have fig trees there.

They've been pruned. And when you see the fig tree bud, look what it says. When the branch has already become tender and put forth their leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near at the doors.

Assuredly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will by no means pass away. My friends, the fig tree can be Israel in biblical understanding.

The best interpretation of the Old Testament is through the New Testament. And here, Jesus says, when you see the fig tree blossoming, know that I am near. In 1967, Israel did not want the six-day war.

It was a miracle. If you've ever read what happened, it's a joke in Israel. We fought for six days and on the seventh day we rested. And it was miraculous. And I know, met three of the paratroopers that went in there.

They were at a conference we did in Jerusalem last summer. They're older men now. The famous picture of them at the wall, weeping and so on. The Jews had longed to get back to the Western Wall, which is the retaining wall of the Second Temple.

The Jordanians kept bombing Jerusalem and Israel was asking Jordan to stay out and they did. So they went in and they took the wall. Israel finally reunited Jerusalem after centuries. After the Romans had destroyed the place.

After the Romans had killed or put into slavery two-thirds of the Jews. The Romans crucified 90 ,000 Jewish people. And they stopped because they ran out of wood. And for the Jews to then be thrown out of the country.

And the Jewish believers, there were thousands of them in those days. They knew what was going to happen. They knew it. Because the Lord had taught, you know, it's all in the Scriptures. But when they took the old city.

You know, when Pastor David Wilkerson came out to dedicate our new building. We built a new congregational building up on the top of Mount Carmel. We had the ten stones around the altar. A skylight for the fire to fall.

We're restoring the altar of the Lord on Mount Carmel. Like you're restoring the altar of the Lord in New York or wherever you're from. Hallelujah. But Pastor David Wilkerson, after we dedicated the building.

We went to Jerusalem and he said, I said, what would you like to do? And he said, are those believers from Germany, do they still have that. Two ladies, two sisters. Have that prayer house on the Mount of Olives.

I said, yeah, they're still there. So he said, let's go there. So it was Karen, myself and Pastor David and his wife Gwen. We met with these two German sisters. And they told us the story. They lived in this little house on the Mount of Olives where he's coming back.

And they were there in the Six Day War. And they said when the bombardment started, they went down in their cellar. After it was over, it was quiet. They came up. The Jordanians were all gone. All the equipment was left there.

And the two German ladies' building had been destroyed. And the only thing they said left standing, the Bible was standing up on the floor of the place. These elderly ladies. And they said, the Jews were back.

And we realized Luke 21, 24 is being fulfilled. That Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled. That it's being fulfilled in this very day. So that was 1967.

Do you know what happened in 1967? Those of you that were alive. It was the big, the hippie thing started out on the west coast in San Francisco in the summer of love and all that stuff. Drugs and free everything.

But out of that came the Jesus movement. And you know what happened in the Jesus movement in the 60s, late 60s? Hundreds of Jews turned to the Lord. They were in the new age looking for truth. You see, the fig tree started to blossom.

We're tracking. We are now about to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the nation of Israel. When we go back, President George Bush is coming. Now listen to this. Three divisions of the Syrian army have just moved up close to the Israeli border.

There's warnings all across the north. Hezbollah now has 3 ,000 rockets according to the Secretary General of the UN. 10 ,000 long-range rockets. They fired 4 ,000 two years ago. I mean, that's what we're going back to.

Why? Why is the enemy so furious about Israel? Why little Israel? You know it's smaller than New Jersey? I mean, people come there and say, my God, just drove across. At one point we're nine miles wide.

You know, surrounded. Six million Jews surrounded by 300 million people that don't want them there. I mean, that's the reality on the ground. So what is it about all of this? Well, the 60th anniversary.

All this, the Lord downloaded all this to me years ago. I mean, it's been growing over the years. I come back to New York after that first time in Israel and I meet her. Hallelujah. And we made up for lost time.

The One New Man: Jewish and Gentile Believers in Christ

We fell in love and we got married. And she's a Jew and I'm a Gentile. And we're the one new man. That's what this conference is all about. Now, the church started as the one new man. That's the way it was.

I mean, why does the church, why do Christians, why do Gentile believers have a debt to the Jews? Have you read Romans 9, 10, and 11? I mean, where would you be, where would we be without the patriarchs?

Without Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Where would we be without the prophets? Where would we be without the word of God? They're the curators. They're the ones that guarded the word of God and wrote it down, note by letter by letter, century after century after century.

What a debt we have to them. The covenants, the law, how to live a godly life in an ungodly world. The one true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in a world that was filled with idolatry and godlessness and still is.

All of this came from the Jews. And greatest of all, the Messiah. They're the human channel for the Messiah to come and save the world. Oh God, the one new man. It says we're being built together a dwelling place for God in the spirit.

That's the way it all began. Read the New Testament. I was reading this just the other day. The first piece of theology in the great Roman letter is what? You know what it is? It's Romans 1 .16. I'm not ashamed of the gospel of God.

It's the power of God to salvation to the Jew first. And also to the Greek. I've heard it quoted everywhere. I'm not ashamed of the gospel of God. It's the power of God to salvation. Yeah, but you leave out the Jews.

What did Paul do? Paul made himself, he said, a prisoner for the Gentiles' sake. He was in jail. The Jewish apostle to the Gentiles. Where would we be if he hadn't obeyed the man from Macedonia that said come to Europe?

Hallelujah. He was all Jewish apostles. I've been to India. I've been on the mountain where the Hindus crucified and skinned alive the apostle Thomas. And people there say, we go all the way back to Thomas.

That Jewish apostle brought the gospel to India. Now there's a huge revival going on there. We have a debt to the Jewish people. The church started that way. Let's read Ephesians 2 quickly. Part of it.

I know Pastor Carter read it a minute ago. But I just want to read part of it again. Verse 11. Ephesians 2, 11. Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh, who are called on circumcision by what is called the circumcision made in the flesh by hand, that at the time you were without Messiah, without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel.

The world, the Roman Empire, didn't know anything about the commonwealth of Israel. They didn't know anything about temple worship. They didn't know anything about Psalms. They didn't know anything about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

They didn't know anything about covenants. They didn't know any of that. We're aliens. Verse 13. But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far off, have been brought near by the blood of Christ, Jesus Christ, Yeshua, the Messiah, which we sang about today.

He brought the Gentiles in, the Jewish Messiah, through his blood. He himself is our peace. Verse 14. He's made both one, Jew and Gentile, my wife and I. But the church, you know, the Jews are the fathers.

They're the patriarchs. They're the older brother. They were, it was all one. Look what Paul, Paul's writing it. It's our theology. In Ephesus, there were Jews and Gentiles in that great revival up in Ephesus.

So he says, he himself is our peace and made both one, broken down the middle wall. Verse 15. Having abolished in his flesh the law of ordinances and so on. And made in himself one new man. New. Kainos.

When I met Jesus, I became a new creation. Old things passed away. Behold, all things were new. Pure. Virginal. Never before touched. That's what the word means. A new man. But now I married her. We're a new unit.

Hallelujah. She's still a Jew and I'm a Gentile, but we're one. Hallelujah. That's the way the church was supposed to be. The Jews are the repository of all this church, all this truth. And they all went out and got crucified and killed and martyred to give it to the Gentiles.

That's how it all started. Now look what he says. Verse 16. They might reconcile them both to God in one body. Through the cross. Thereby putting to death the hatred. Our Arab pastor, it's on our DVD and he testifies.

He hated the Jews. Then he met Jesus. The Lord showed him this scripture. And he said, if this hatred is alive, it needs to be killed. And he said, kill it. Now he went to Auschwitz with our Jewish pastor.

They're both in their 30s. They're both from Haifa. One's a Jew and one's an Arab. They are the one new man. And they went to Auschwitz together. Because our Arab pastor, Joseph is his name, said, I want to see what my Jewish brothers went through.

Because I don't know enough about it. He broke down the wall of division. Any division you're going through in a marriage. Listen, if he can break down the wall of division between Isaac and Ishmael, he can break down any division.

It's the longest running family feud in history. Now listen, the covenants come through Isaac. But there are tremendous promises for the Arab people through Ishmael and Hagar. You read it. Just get out a map and look at it.

Gigantic oil and power and so on. Okay, so let's go on. He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near. Verse 17. Verse 22. In whom also you are being built together a dwelling place for God and the Spirit.

Now look at chapter 3, verse 1. Remember there was no chapters when it was written. For this reason, I, Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ for you non-Jews. Hallelujah. I mean, that beat up little Jew would walk into a town with his back stripped and beaten and almost drowned and starved and stoned to death.

And then got up and enlisted and went in and said, anybody want to be an elder? I mean, that guy breathed the power of the Holy Spirit. And he would go into a town and go into a synagogue. He was the Jew first.

He'd get the scroll. He'd read Isaiah 61. This is about Yeshua. I know all about him. He appeared to me on the Damascus road. Some of them believed. Some of them didn't. Then the Gentiles came. Planted a church.

It was Jews and Gentiles. Everywhere he went. It's just there. I mean, it's undeniable. So then, verse 6. Verse 3. How that by the revelation he made known the mystery as I've already written to you. Look at verse 6.

What is the mystery? That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs in the same body and partakers of the promises in Messiah through the gospel. Verse 9. And make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery.

Look at verse 10. To the intent. Why is God doing Jew and Gentile together? That the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places. The power of God that rested on the first century church was Jews and non-Jews.

Worshipping Jesus in spirit and in truth. It changed the Roman Empire. It turned it upside down. And they didn't have emails and iPhones. They had sandals and blisters and boats. And they went and preached and changed the empire.

And God wants to do it again. Look, it's the stewardship of the mystery is what it says. I'm a steward. Okay? A steward is a waiter. I simply come and say, Here, it's the one new man. It's always been Jew and Gentile.

I deliver it to you. I'm like the guy that brings the pizza here, you know. Here, open it up. That's the mystery. This is what Paul says. It was a mystery to him. I mean, he'd been an Orthodox Jew. He was a rabbi.

Israel’s Regathering and the New Covenant

Imagine when the Lord said, Now go and tell the Gentiles about the Jewish Messiah. But he went just like Peter. He was always Jew and Gentile. Turn to Jeremiah 31 for a moment. Jeremiah 31. When Karen and I moved to Israel, an amazing thing happened.

The Soviet Union collapsed. Boom. Back came a million Russian Jews. We knew it was going to happen because it's written. I know people who walked around the Kremlin and prayed for it. I know a man who wrote a book and prophesied Exodus 2.

Well, it happened. All of a sudden, Russians were everywhere. Getting off the boat at Haifa, we'd sit on the porch at House of Victory looking. Here they came from Odessa. The Ukrainian security people had taken all the money and taken all their watches and wedding rings and they had plastic bags.

But here they came. And we knew why they were coming. Because they were going to meet their Messiah on the mountains of Israel. Hallelujah. We lived through this. We saw it. It's still happening. Now, look at Isaiah 31, verse 3.

This is in its context is to the Jews. Of course, it's also for you if you're a born-again believer. The Lord has appeared of old to me saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. God's love, long-suffering for the Jewish people is so...

He's their husband. I was a father to Ephraim. Any father here ever had a rebellious teenager? Well, how would you feel if it was going on for 4 ,000 years and it was million? I mean, imagine what the father's heart is.

But now, in this day, they're coming back. He's regathering them. He's restoring them. They're going to repent. There's going to be a renewal of the Holy Spirit like we've never seen. Paul says it'll be life from the dead.

Now, in our day, at this moment. So, look what he says. Again, I will build you, verse 4. And you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel. You shall be adorned with your tambourines. Here she is. She's got her tambourine.

Hallelujah. We dance on the mountains of Israel. Praise the Lord. You come and join us. We'll get you dancing, too. Praise the... We got to dance in Israel. I mean, what we're facing over there. We just praise...

Everything that has breath, praise the Lord. Put him under your feet. Hallelujah. Okay. What do you do about this? Look at verse 7. For thus says the Lord, Sing with gladness for Jacob. Do it. We were singing, O wake, O Israel.

Imagine this roar going up into the heavenlies. God will do something with it. Shout among the chief of the nations. America is the chief of the nations, at least for now. I won't go into that. But I'll tell you this.
