The Second Coming of Christ the Restoration of
the Jews, according to man.
4
Second Coming Of Christ

• I John 41
• Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the
  spirits whether they are of God because many
  false prophets are gone out into the world.
• II Tim. 215
• Study to show thyself approved unto God, a
  workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
  dividing the word of truth.

5
Second Coming Of Christ

• Did you ever hear a preacher say
• Christ is going to return to the city of
  Jerusalem?
• He will set up His kingdom there.
• He will reign over the earth 1,000 years.
• All the Jews from all nations will reign with Him.

6
Second Coming Of Christ

• The Bible does not teach that Christ will ever
  set foot upon the earth again.
• I Thess. 417 Then we which are alive and remain
  shall be caught up together with them in the
  clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall
  we ever be with the Lord.

7
Second Coming Of Christ

• Teaching of Christs reign on earth the Jews
  restoration is false.
• Prophecies are taken from the Bible which are
  already fulfilled.
• They are twisted around applied to future
  events.
• Many honest sincere people believe them.

8
Second Coming Of Christ

• I found in my notes the following
• On Tuesday, March 14, 1977 Billy Graham on his TV
  crusade made this statement
• Christ is coming again to set up His kingdom.
• He is still teaching the same thing in the Mobile
  Register, Feb. 12, 2004

9
Second Coming Of Christ

• The Land Promise (First)
• It is claimed that God made certain promises.
• Gen. 1518
• In the same day the LORD made a covenant with
  Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this
  land, from the river of Egypt unto the great
  river, the river Euphrates

10
Second Coming Of Christ

• It is claimed that God made certain promises.
• Gen. 178
• And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after
  thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all
  the land of Canaan, for an everlasting
  possession and I will be their God. In Verse 9
• Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore,

11
Second Coming Of Christ

• The Land Promise (First)
• These promises had a definite meaning.
• Yet, men have perverted that meaning.
• Things are being taught which God never said or
  promised in any way.

12
Second Coming Of Christ

• To Abrahams seed from time to time.
• But, were they fulfilled?

• And the LORD gave them rest round about,
  according to all that he sware unto their

15
Second Coming Of Christ

• II. The Land Promise Fulfilled

  the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel all
  came to pass.

16
Second Coming Of Christ

• III. The Promises Were Conditional
• God warned, if you dont obey
• Jer. 1911
• And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of
  hosts Even so will I break this people and this
  city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that
  cannot be made whole again

17
Second Coming Of Christ

• III. The Promises Were Conditional
• The Jewish nation, city of Jerusalem would never
  be whole again.
• In spite of this scripture, men predict that
  Jesus will re-gather the nation again.
• God said they cannot be made whole again.

18
Second Coming Of Christ

• IV. The False Prophets Today
• Many false teachers are proposing to the Jewish
  people a false hope.
• This has been true since God made the true
  promise to them.

19
Second Coming Of Christ

• IV. The False Prophets Today
• Jer. 2316
• Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto
  the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you
  they make you vain they speak a vision of their
  own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.

20

• Jer. 2317
• They say still unto them that despise me, The
  LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace and they say
  unto every one that walketh after the imagination
  of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.

21

• IV. The False Prophets Today
• Doesnt this sound like the false teachers of
  today?
• Jer. 2331
• Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the
  LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

22
Second Coming Of Christ

• IV. The False Prophets Today
• They make false promises and say this is the word
  of God.
• The land promise has been fulfilled.
• According to God they will never be restored to
  all the land again.

23
Second Coming Of Christ

• V. The Seed promise (second)
• Gen. 121-2
• Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out
  of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from
  thy father's house, unto a land that I will show
  thee And I will make of thee a great nation, and
  I will bless thee, and make thy name great and
  thou shalt be a blessing

24
Second Coming Of Christ

• Gen. 123
• And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse

25
Second Coming Of Christ

• V. The Seed promise (second)
• Gal. 36-7
• Even as Abraham believed God, and it was
  accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye
  therefore that they which are of faith, the same
  are the children of Abraham.

26
Second Coming Of Christ

• V. The Seed promise (second)
• Gal. 38-9
• And the scripture, foreseeing that God would
  justify the heathen through faith, preached
  before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee
  shall all nations be blessed. So then they which
  be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

27
Second Coming Of Christ

• V. The Seed promise (second)
• There are no special blessings to the Jews given
  in Gods word which havent been fulfilled.
• Who are those which are of the faith?

  remain faithful to God.
• Whether they be Jew or Gentile!

28
Second Coming Of Christ

• VI. The Covenant of circumcision -3rd
• Gen. 179
• And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my
  covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee

  circumcised.

• Gen. 1713
• He that is born in thy house, and he that is
  bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised
  and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an

• Between God Israel
• It was an everlasting covenant
• Gen. 1713
• Same was said about the land covenant
• Gen. 178

32
Second Coming Of Christ

• Does this mean without end?
• If they were to reclaim the land, circumcision
  would be never ending.
• Gal. 56
• For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision
  availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision but faith
  which worketh by love.

33
Second Coming Of Christ

• Hear the apostle Paul

  seed, and heirs according to the promise.

  everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual
  shame, which shall not be forgotten.

37
