Came to listen after Bro Chooch recommended. Wow this was excellent!! I didn’t understand this before. Praise God.

As much as I thoroughly appreciate the in-depth explanation of this passage, and who, what is the Olive tree; I never had difficulty understanding who this was. I often have debated with the Hebrew Roots movement, and this was a contested topic often. They inherently would say that Israel, of course, is the root that we all are feeding from. Which is why they lean so heavily upon the law, and their identity within Israel. But I always understood that the roots and the trunk had to be Jesus himself. Because Jesus is the only one that sustains us, praise be to God, holy is his name. Even though I already understood these things, it was enjoyable hearing your intelligent explanation.

[marshab]

I had not heard this interpretation before. Very interesting ‐- thank you!

[kathryncollins]

Can I get scripture for where the Gentiles were promised blessing thru Jacob also?
I know I've seen it before but I am trying to relearn after studying mid Acts dispensation and also
Acts 28 as well and my brain is frazzled. thanks!

[slim]

I really enjoy your expectations of scripture. It makes a lot of sense to me.

[laurabennett]

I just subscribed to your channel I love it that you are for the truth I have a Question I know that the olive tree represents Israel but so does the fig tree correct? So is Israel both the olive and fig tree? I think Israel is both

[linwoodkent]

Once again you've expanded my understanding. I followed right along in agreement as you explained, but I never realised Adam and Eve were the first 2 branches. Of course it makes perfect sense. I'm getting FREE teaching from an expert. Wow what a blessing God has made you. Love Linda

[scottstephenson]

Thanks you are so thorough, just facts it's refreshing.

[KathyJackson-gg]

Please explain: if we as believing Gentiles are grafted into Israel why are we not going through the 7 years of Jacob's trouble?

[clementine]

Like the interpretation- just feel that you don’t have to yell 😌💚

Could you do a video on Matthew chapter 11: 11-12

[kimberlymoore]

Very good exegetical teaching. Pastor, I really appreciate that you consider the audience at the time Jesus was walking the earth. It amazes me how some people juxtapose Israel and the Church. Serious eisegesis. It's obvious in the text the only crossover is Jews belonging to the Church. I'd love to hear about what the fig tree means. I have an idea, but I'd love to hear your point of view!

[hermanessences]

It's quite simple: the tree is "Team God". People can leave it, and enter it.

[fyrbill]

I beg to differ. The “natural” branches are Jewish believers. The trunk is the foundation of the nation. Matthew 3:10 clearly states if the tree does not produce it will be cut down. Of course it did produce the fruit of the church.

[stcenturymessiahunveiled]

Thats indeed what it seems the bible says. But their is no such thing as gentiles being grafted in. That is all based in mistranslations. Paul was talking about the lost tibes being reconciled and grafted in (again). That happened, for Paul preached to the lost tribes in Europe. Her called the greeks in Corinth his brothers, and all their father came out of Egypt. ( 1cor 10:1-3)

thats the two olives two witnesses and part of the eternal gospel song they sing
Isaiah 55 a new song of repentance from the two witnesses
Listen and come to me
Hear and your soul shall live
Seek the Lord while he may be found
Call him while he is near

Let the wicked forsake his ways
The unrighteous man his thoughts
Return unto the Lord
Our God will abundantly pardon

For My thoughts are not your thoughts
Neither are your ways my ways
Says the Lord our God

[Lam 3:40-41 KJV]
Let us search and try our ways,
and turn again to the LORD.
Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands
unto God in the heavens.

[Rom 11:33-36 KJV] 33
O the depth of the riches of
the wisdom and knowledge of God!
unsearchable [are] his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!

who hath known the mind of the Lord?
or who hath been his counsellor?
Or who has given to God
That He should repay?

For by him, and through him, and for him,
are all things:
to Him be the glory for ever. Forever and ever Amen.

Sow seeds of righteousness
Reap in mercy
Break up your fallow ground
Listen and come to me
For it is time
To seek the Lord
Till He comes
With the latter rain for you
You have plowed in sin
And reaped iniquity
You have eaten up lies
You trusted in your own ways
Vain imaginations and puff uppery
Thus says the Lord
Break up your fallow ground




How the two witnesses sing literal fire
Behold i come with fire
And a whirlwind
To render my anger with fury
And my rebuke
With flames of fire
For by fire and by my sword
Will the Lord plead with all flesh
And the slain of the Lord shall be many

[lemnisgate]

No where in the scriptures does it say the church is removed.

Are Gentile believers members of the commonwealth of Israel? Who was grafted into the cultivated olive tree of Romans 11?

Paul wrote that a true Jew is one inwardly with a circumcised heart. Is circumcision a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, and not by the letter? Is the inward Jew a member of the cultivated olive tree?

In the epistle to the Romans, Paul writes, “Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.” Is the Israel that Paul talks about the same Israel as the cultivated olive tree?

In the epistle to the Ephesians, Paul writes about a mystery—that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus. Is this one body the cultivated olive tree?

Jesus said He has two folds and they will become one flock. Is the one flock of Jesus the cultivated olive tree?

Is there a spiritual Israel? What do you call the body of glorified saints who will rule and reign with Christ on earth? Are the glorified saints members of the cultivated olive tree?

Is the cultivated olive tree the Israel of God?

In Isaiah 49 the Messiah is referred to as Israel. Because gentile believers are in the Messiah, does that make them members of the Israel of God?

Are the sons of Abraham the Israel of God? Who are the sons of Abraham?

You cannot separate the sons of Abraham from the cultivated olive tree; they are Jew & Gentile counted righteous by faith--the "Israel of God." The eternal covenant community of YHWH. The saints of the Most High God.

The Trunk of the Natural Olive Tree = God the Father,
The Vine of the Natural Olive Tree = Jesus,

Natural branches= Israel,
Wild Olive Tree = The Church
Israel (Natural Branch)was broken off for disbelief,
The Church (believers, Gentile and Jews) are grafted into the Natural Olive Tree
Then the Natural Branchs will be grafted back into Natural Olive Tree.
Is this what you mean?
