This is a continuation of the sermon entitled "Is the World's Problem with Israel?." The problem is the world doesn't understand that God has chosen Israel to belong to Himself. This makes them the special object of Satan's hatred--and of all those who follow Satan. Psalm 83 shows that nothing has changed in thousands of years. All the promises of the Old Testament depend on salvation and restoration of Israel. Establishment of the Kingdom over which the Messiah will rule depends on the ultimate deliverance of Israel. Only Israel is God's chosen people. To interpret properly the Scripture you have to take prophecy literally. Many in the Church only take note of the curses on Israel, but not the future blessings for Israel. The God has an everlasting love for Israel. God will remember their sin no more.
The armies of Egypt, Assyria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia will be destroyed, believers in Christ in those areas will take part in the Millennium. Remember, everyone is the enemy of God before they are saved.

“ It's Israel not Palestine ! ” William, your excellent comments on using a literal interpretation of the Bible are right on! The whole sermon is well worth listening to.¶
I have been looking at various study bibles, and one short part of Dr. Rugh's overall excellent sermon is particularly applicable to them. The term "Palestine" used in place of "Israel" is anti-Israel. Besides Dr. Rugh, pointing this out other people such as Dr. Thomas S. McCall have done an excellent job of pointing this out too.¶
It's time that various study bibles have the word, "Palestine" replaced by "Israel" on their maps and also where they have it in their notes!

“ Excellent Sermon! ” Thank You Pastor Gil for preaching the plain truth of God's word and teaching how the plan of Satan is to destroy the Jews.
Thank you for teaching a literal interpretation of the Bible while many other Pastors/Preachers read the word 'Israel' in the OT and replace it with the word 'church' except when it comes to curses. What hypocrisy they do! Thank You so very much for staying away from that hypocrisy and teaching a literal interpretation of the bible -- as it should be read!
You are so correct in saying God's plan for Israel has not changed. Oh how I wish there were more pastors like you! Keep up the great work Pastor!
Blessings,
Daniel
