Now let's turn our attention to the word, and we'll pile through on, let's see, page 434, I think we're going to be at. 434, and we're looking at the prophetic development of the Davidic covenant. We'll read a couple passages, and there's one key phrase I want to harp on a little bit on page 435. But again, we're talking about an eternal throne, an eternal dynasty, an eternal kingdom, and an eternal person in the Messiah, which we studied last week. And now we're going to look at the development of it. So if you go to the bottom of page 434 in Psalm 89 3 through 4 continues the covenant promise and it says I have made a covenant with my chosen I have sworn unto David my servant your seed will I establish forever and build up your throne to all generations. So again reiterating the eternal dynasty the eternal throne. Let's move over to 435. and in the same psalm verse 29 says his seed will I make to endure forever and his throne as the days of heaven continue moving on 34 37 my covenant will I not break that's a key phrase I will not break this okay nor all through the thing that is gone out of my lips notice that key phrase that I'm not going to modify this This is important. I'll come back to it. Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in the sky. Now, here's my question. When he says, I won't break this covenant, nor will I alter it, why do you think he has to state that? Think about theologically what's happening today. David's throne is a Jewish throne, is it? Right, it's not a Gentile throne. Where is David's throne located? Jerusalem, okay, Temple Mount. Okay, that's important to understand. This is where the covenant's made, an eternal dynasty, an eternal throne, and that throne is locatable. Okay, so when he says, I've not modified this, this goes against not only replacement theology, which we'll talk about in just a second, we've already done, but it also goes against what we call progressive dispensationalism. Guys like Darrell Bock and a few others who are dispensationalists, we call them leaky dispensationalists, And what I mean by that is this, a progressive dispensationalist believes that Jesus is currently on David's throne and that the rulership has already started. It is the view called the already not yet view. George Ladd is the one who popularized it here in America. He got it from England. And I can't remember the guy who gave it to him or where he got it from. But George Ladd is the problem for progressive dispensationalism. So what they say is that Jesus is on David's throne. But again, this passage is saying, I will not modify this. Where is the throne? Jerusalem. Where is it? Where can you only sit on it? In Jerusalem. Question, I know this is Bible 101, but for some reason these other people can't figure it out. Is Jesus on a throne in Jerusalem right now? Bible 101, okay? How come a PhD doesn't know that? How come he doesn't know it? Well, I mean, it's so simple that the average person reading the scriptures says, yeah, I get it, David's throne, where it's at, Mount Zion, got it. But yet PhDs wanna tinker with this and manipulate it and say, well, no, it's really already started. What verse could they point to that says he's on David's throne currently? They can't. So what I'm trying to show you is, just like when we're in Genesis, you can't get a long day from the yom there with a number. And when you read this, if you just read for what it says, you can't get anything else. So this is why I think God is preempting this by saying, I don't modify my covenant. The Daryl box of the world, the progressive dispensations are modifying the Davidic covenant to suit their own needs. Question, PhD has a lot of responsibility. He's not some dude in Bush league out there with a hate coming out of his mouth and say, well, I think it's this. This guy has a lot of study, a lot of hours behind that PhD. They write papers constantly. They had peer reviews. Why is it that a PhD would want to tinker with this? What's in it for them? You follow the money, okay? See, here's the deal. You have to know in Christianity, there's a Christian industrial complex. you need to be aware of the Christian industrial complex. Just like there's the science industrial complex, the military industrial complex, there's these complexes that run the show. And in Christianity, To be popular means you have to go sometimes, or many times I should say, against what the Bible says in order to sell books, in order to be published, in order to be in the right circles. Currently, right now, what dominates the Christian industrial complex is reformed theology. They run the show in all Christian publishing, except a few out there in the middle of nowhere, there's a Christian public, and you can self-publish, which is probably better. But if to be peer-reviewed, to be in the industrial complex, you have to play ball. And therefore, you have to bow a knee to reform theology. And a lot of these progressive leaky dispensationalists, because they want certain things, money, book publishings, being notarized, speaking gigs, all this other stuff, will start compromising with the industrial complex in order to be published. That's the game that's being played. Is it about money? Yeah, it's about money. Is it about power? Yeah, it's about power. Is it about notoriety? Yeah, it's about notoriety. Wait a second, those are the three things that Jesus dealt with with the Pharisees. Money, power, notoriety. Nothing's changed, even among Christians. So they're playing a game. And they will argue until they're blue in the face with passages that they can't back up. And what you start finding out, the same is true in Jesus' day as it is today, and it's amazing. The lay people get it easier than the guys in the ivory tower who don't. Who did Jesus have the most problems with? The average fisherman? The average guys on the street? No. Who did he have trouble with? the religious leaders who are highly educated. I'm all for education, but I start finding out what's going on in education, and it seems to be that they start playing a game. They wanna be in the crowd. They can't be a loose cannon out in the middle of nowhere saying, I disagree with all of you, because then they're gonna be ostracized, they won't get published, they won't work at a nice seminary, and have a cushy job teaching kids and poisoning their minds. So it's a game. political, economic, and power. So we're out here, average Bush, and what they would say to me is, well, you're smart enough. You just don't get it. You're just too dumb, Brandon. And I wanna say, God spoke to farmers, he spoke to fishermen, he spoke to the roughest parts of society, and how come they got it? Peter and them, blue collar workers, and yet they got it. But the highly educated white collars didn't get it. What happens with education? Why is there a danger? I'm not against education, but you have to know what gets you into that place where you start going crazy. It's this, it's real simple. As you study your Bible, you will gain knowledge. You will know more facts about the Bible. The more you study it, great, keep doing it. But you've got to make this decision in your life. If you're going to learn more and study more, you have to be obedient more. You have to be obedient to the information you know. And the issue is, when you stop being obedient to the information, guess what starts happening to your head? And the Bible calls it what? Puffed up. If you gain knowledge, and you can count how many angels dance on the head of a pin, and you can tell us all if Adam had a navel or not, and you write a 20-page paper on that, yes, he had a navel, be careful. If you're not obedient to that information, all it will do is cause you to be prideful, and we won't be able to get you back. You will go pride crazy. And that's what happens in the seminaries. That's what happens in all these higher levels of institutions. If someone asked me, should I send my kid to a seminary right now? I would say absolutely not. Do it from home, because when he gets there, he'll get slimed. But do it from home. If you can do an online course, that's even better, because he can stay within the confines of his local church, which is balanced. If he gets in the seminary, he'll get messed up in his head, because they get slimed every time. They come back crazy. And so when you see things like this, and you think, God's saying, I'm not going to modify. I get why he's doing it, because all they want to do is modify and tamper with it. continue on on this next page and God really preempts this page 435 and this is Jeremiah 33 17 through 26 for thus says Yahweh David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel that's a promise it will never go extinct neither shall the priest of the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings and to burn meal offerings and to do sacrifice continually and the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah saying thus says Yahweh if ye can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night so that there shall not be day and night in their season then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant that he shall not have a son to reign upon the throne and with the Levites the priest my minister so the idea is this I've made a covenant with a day and a night with the moon and the sun And if I break that covenant, that's the only time I'll break the covenant with David, which basically means it's impossible. I'm not gonna break my covenant. If as long as the earth and the sun and the moon go, that's as long as I promised David. So it's not stopping, is the idea. Okay, continue on. As the hosts of heaven cannot be numbered, neither shall the sanity of the sea be measured, so will I multiply the seed of David my servant. So it's a promise that he's gonna multiply his offspring. And I'll leave it's that minister unto me and the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah saying consider you not what this people have spoken notice this this is Amazing that this has said so it's preempting something Saying so there he's saying there's gonna be people that are gonna say this and The two families which Yahweh did choose, the two families he's referring to is the two kingdoms that got broken up with Israel. It's Israel and Judah, okay? That's the two kingdoms that split, right? So he's referring to that. He has cast them off, question mark? Thus do they despise my people. Who's my people? The church, believers, Gentiles, who's the my people in that context in Jeremiah? Israel. That they should be no more a nation before them. Did you catch that? I think based on this text and other texts that I've shown you, Yahweh, God, Jesus is preempting what he knows is going to be said about Israel and this covenant with Israel. And what is he saying? He says, this is what they're gonna say. They're gonna say those two families, God's cast them out. God's done with them. And they're gonna despise the Jews and that they're no more a nation. Well, interesting enough, those are the same words the apostle Paul used in Romans nine through 11. Has God cast away his people? Certainly not. It's the same words. He's quoting from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Paul's making the same point. But what did God anticipate? He anticipated that there would be jokers out there, even from the church, who would say God's done with Israel. And he's saying, ain't going to happen. I'm already telling you they're going to say this. And we studied the whole doctrine of replacement theology and supersessionism and where it came from and all that stuff. So you have all that documentation. But I'm just saying, look at this. You're always trying to cut this off at the pass, saying, look, they're going to say this. And they are. Thus says Yahweh, if my covenant of day and night stand not, the idea of the moon and the stars and the sun, if I have not appointed the ordinance of heaven and earth, then will also I cast away the seed of Jacob and of David, my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for I will cause their captivity return and will have mercy on them. So basically the idea is, Hey man, it's gonna have to take the sun and the moon to stop before I stop my covenant with Israel, which means under no circumstances will I lift the covenant of David from Israel. So now you have the Abrahamic covenant, you have the land covenant, and now you're looking at the Davidic covenant, and he's not removing those. So again, let's see what you've learned before we take a break. Why would anybody who's reading this text say God is done with Israel? Why would they do that? What have you learned about replacement theology? That it's what, satanic? Yeah, it's satanic. You remember we looked on Sunday on the fall of Satan and we did the five I wills in Isaiah 14. And I pointed out to you one of the five I wills says, I will sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north. That was one of the five I wills. Do you remember that? Do you remember what the interpretation of sitting on the farthest sides of the north meant? Or I will sit on the mount of the congregation. Question, what congregation is he talking about? What did he want to do? You remember? Was it the church, I will sit as the head of the congregation of the church? What did he mean in Isaiah 14? What congregation are you wanting to rule over? Israel so Satan wants to rule Israel that was what he said and where does he want to rule from Jerusalem The farthest side of the north, north of what? Where is that? So sometimes you read commentaries and they allegorize it. The farthest side of the north is the most northern part called of Mount Moriah. That's the most northern part. Okay, so you have the Mount Moriah that starts with the city of David as it goes up. and then it goes into the Temple Mount platform. But as you go northward, that's where you're going. It gets larger and larger, and the platform gets bigger and bigger. And the farthest side of the north is where the temple was and will be, and it's where David's throne will be. So here's the question. Satan goes, I wanna lead the congregation, Israel, and I wanna sit on David's throne on the farthest side of the north. where the temple will be. So he knew the plan. He already knew this before even we were created. He knew God's plan for us and he knew that Israel would exist and all these other situations and yet he says, I wanna do it. So when I say that supercessionism or replacement theology is evil, you better believe it's evil because it goes straight back to Satan. Satan is wanting to rule in the place of Messiah. You're catching that? But he doesn't want to do what Messiah did in order to do that. And what did Messiah do? He died on a cross. That is why in Revelation 5, who is worthy to open the seals? It's the lamb that's been slain. He's the only one who died for us. Satan wants to rule But he doesn't want to die for you and I. He wants to rule fiatly, just automatically, that he believes he should be able to do that. And he will try to rule Israel through the Antichrist, right? He will try to do it for three and a half years. The Antichrist will try to sit in the Tribulation Temple and proclaim himself to be God, right? He will do it for at least three and a half years. So he will try to get his wish to be filled. all that to say is this is why when God says this he knows that satan is wanting the same thing and will do everything to convince people that the jews are done they have no right and and this poisonous doctrine called replacement theology has now infiltrated the church and destroyed most of the churches and stuff and christians and stuff and christians and stuff and christians
