Sid Roth a minister on TV and Radio believes that the Jew and Gentile will not become "one new man" until the Gentiles reach the Jews with the Gospel and we all come into our fullness, The fullness of the Gentiles and the Jews together. Christ has made us one in him so that we the body of Christ can perform our destiny and do what God has planned for us to do and that plan is to reach the world with the Gospel. I have been teaching a very similar message to this since 1991 after a revelation from the Holy Ghost to the Word.
I haven’t known anything about Sid Roth until recently and I understand he has been teaching this for many years. I am thankful to God that he is doing this and I hope that everyone realizes the importance of this message.
America is an armpit of sin and disgusting sexual immorality, many people are so corrupt that they no longer know right from wrong and do not want to know the difference. A nation that has thousands of churches, that preaches and teaches the Bible, a country whose founding was righteous and built on Christian principles. America has become one of the most immoral nations in the world, harboring atheism, false doctrines, approving all kinds of sexual perversions by declaring them being good. A nation that has turned from righteousness and that has many believing that bad is good and good is bad? The Bible speaks of such a time. We have fallen from a very high place when it comes to honor and morals in our nation. Many Christians believe that America has reached a point of no return and will be destroyed shortly. It all makes sense in the natural from all the conditions around us, but does it mean that America is without hope? Is it possible for God to do something to turn us around from the destruction that is coming on us? Is it possible for him to save America?
I was recently explaining to a good Christian friend that God was going to save America. She begins to tell me how bad America is and how that we have a President that is trying to get Israel to give up Jerusalem and part of the land for peace. She spoke the truth and she said that with all of this bad stuff along with God’s judgement how could God bless us? I then went on to explain that even in times of turmoil and trouble God is able to do great and mighty things. Later as we were talking about other things it came to my remembrance the story of the city of Samaria when it was under siege and the people were starving.
2nd Kings 6: 24: And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25: And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
It was so bad that a couple of women boiled and ate a baby just to stay alive. It looked hopeless for Samaria. The army that encompassed Samaria was a very large and powerful army and they were simply waiting until the people of Samaria were to starve to the point of surrender, then they would conquer the city.
What made it even worse is that the king of Samaria sent a captain down to cut off Elisha’s head. How would you like to be living in a city that the king wanted to cut off a prophet of God’s head? This city did not deserve to be spared. It had horrible leaders yet God in spite of all the evil wanted to spare them.
When the man showed up at Elisha’s house to kill Elisha Elisha told him that God was going to spare the city from the enemy and feed the starving inhabitants of it. This is what was said.
2nd Kings 7: 1: Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2: Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
They doubted what Elisha said but Elisha was speaking the word of the Lord. There were four lepers, men with leprosy that were living outside the city walls because of their disease. Because they were starving they decided to go to the enemies camp hoping that the enemy would have mercy on them and give them something to eat. They had determined that the enemy might kill them but came to the conclusion that if they if went and were killed it wouldn’t be any worse than dying from starvation. As they went God made their footsteps sound like a mighty army swooping down on the enemy camp. When they arrived at the camp the enemy had left everything behind and had ran for their lives. The next morning before daylight the lepers went to the city and told everyone what had happened. Of course all of the food and supplies went into the city and fed the people that were starving. Overnight the city of Samaria was saved. Overnight God worked a mighty miracle and turned the circumstance upside down. God is going to work a miracle on America one of these days and it will seem as if God has changed this nation overnight.
But there is something that we the Gentile church must do in order to see this mighty thing take place. Paul said in Romans 11: 25 that the fullness of the Gentile has to take place and that Israel’s blindness will come to an end at that time. This fullness is speaking of the maturity that we must come to. It is speaking of being complete. The only way we will ever be complete and come to that fullness is to fulfill our gift and calling. That calling is to win the Jewish people to Christ. This is so that we ourselves will be complete. This will begin to happen when the Gentile church realizes what its destiny is in reaching the Jewish people with the love of God through Jesus Christ. Without Israel the Jew and Gentile is not complete as being that one new man that Jesus prayed for us to be. He prayed that God would make us one, that is both Jew and Gentile so that the world will believe that God has sent Jesus. Until this happens the end will not come. The gifts and callings of God are without repentance. On the cross he made us that one new man in him but until both Jew and Gentile is saved and does the work God has called us to do we will not be complete or fulfilled in God.
It is the mission of the Gentiles to reach the Jews with the Gospel and see them saved. It is the mission of the Jews to reach the Gentiles so that they will be saved. When this happens we will be complete. During this process we will see a world revival like no other time in the history of the world or ever will again. There has never been a revival like the one that is coming. Millions will be saved among the nations as the Gospel is being preached. Some nations more so than others. In America it will be beyond comprehension.
Isaiah shows us that the Gentiles will give the Gospel to the Jews.
Isaiah 60: 16 Thou (the Jews) shalt also suck the milk (the Gospel) of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings (born again Gentiles): and thou shalt know that I (Jesus) the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. (This is why they believe. A person must hear the Gospel in order to believe. This is also how they know that Jesus is the Lord, the savior and redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob.) The things that I have placed in parenthesis is there for a better understanding of this scripture.
A set of scriptures that explains more of this is found in Isaiah 61:
5: And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6: But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
7: For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
It is necessary to have the Holy Spirit in order to understand the revelation of these scriptures. They are not written for the carnal mind to understand.
Verse 5 in the scriptures above is speaking about Gentiles at the time of the conversation of the Jews will become their shepherds and feed their flocks, the sons of the aliens are also Gentiles. It says that their children would be Israel’s plowmen and vinedressers. This is also speaking about ministering the Gospel and teaching Israel to be saved. There must first be planting before there can be a harvest. A person that is born again will bear fruit, some more than others will, but they all bear fruit.
Verse 6 teaches us what will come out of this labor. Israel will become priest of the Lord. In fact in the New Testament it says they will become kings and priests once they are saved the same as everyone else that is saved. It says that Israel will eat the riches of the Gentiles. Paul says this in Romans 11: 12.
12: Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
In this verse in Romans Paul is using the term "the riches of the Gentiles" to illustrate that because of Israel’s unbelief God had given the heavenly riches of God to the Gentiles. This riches is Christ himself with the New Covenant and the Holy Spirit that brings to us the riches of his grace and mercies. I can only believe that Paul was led by the Holy Spirit to use the same term that Isaiah 61: 6 used, "the riches of the Gentiles".
Isaiah 61: 6 goes on to say that the Jews would boast themselves in the glory of the Gentiles. The glory of the Gentiles is that we brag on Jesus rather than on ourselves. We have no confidence in the flesh and seek to glorify and boast on Jesus who deserves all the glory. This scripture shows Israel bragging or boasting on Jesus. They have been born again and are excited about Jesus.
Verse 7 of these scriptures goes on to show us the great blessing and reward that is coming to both the Jews and the Gentiles when these things happen. In other words what will happen once the Gentiles reach the Jews with the Gospel in their own lands. Israel will receive a double portion because of the suffering of the Jewish people over the past two thousand years. The Jews have been mocked, lied on, persecuted, murdered and scorned in many nations of the world since the time of Christ. For the shame that they have suffered God will give them a double portion. The Jews in both the nations and in Israel that get saved at that time will have a double portion of God’s Holy Spirit and will labor in a greater way than ever in the history of the world. They will begin sharing and telling everyone the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They will fulfill their gift and calling that Paul speaks of in Romans 11: 29, A gift and calling that God will not forget and is without repentance. They have to do it and God will help them by giving them a double portion of His Spirit to do the work. Their Job will be to reach the Gentiles with the Gospel.
But within this 7th verse of Isaiah 61 we see a promise to the Gentiles that take the Gospel to the Jewish people, a promise that must not be ignored. Verse 7: For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
For your shame is speaking to the Jews but the rest of this scripture is about the strangers and aliens that are Gentiles sharing Jesus with the Jews; And for confusion they, the Gentiles will rejoice in their portion, a double portion of the Holy Ghost on them as well as the Jews. Where will it be? In their land, this means their own nation; there will be a double portion of the Holy Ghost poured out upon the Gentiles to reach the lost in their own nation. Why did he say "for confusion"? I believe it is because we as Gentiles have been so deceived by the Devil in our doctrines and divisions including not realizing that it is our mission to reach the Jews with the Gospel. Had we realized what we were supposed to do we would have reached the Jewish people much sooner than now. But God is merciful and when we do realize he will bless us with a double portion. When I think of this I can’t help but get excited because I have a lot of relatives, friends and other people in America that I would like to see come to know Jesus before he returns. How about yourself? The Jews receive a double portion when they come to Christ and the Gentiles receive a double portion after they have reached the Jews with the Gospel.
I believe that the greatest revival known to mankind is coming and it will happen before the return of the Lord. Paul said in Romans 11: 15 that it would be life from the dead for the Gentiles. When the Jews are saved in America or whatever country they are living in it will be like life from the dead for that nation. It just so happens that America has more Jews living in it than any nation in the world. Just a few years ago there were more living here than in the Holy Land itself. Since many have returned to Israel I am sure that the number is still at least half-and-half. Think about what this would mean for this country that has plunged so deep into sin, Salvation for millions and millions of people in America.
Ever since the time of Paul there has been a war among the Gentiles against Jewish evangelism. But Satan himself stands behind all of this opposition. We have seen this warfare increase more and more during the past twenty years. In the mid 90s the Southern Baptist at a yearly convention decided to take the Gospel to the Jewish people in America. Immediately there was a great outcry especially from Rabbis that hold important positions. Several leading Christian denominations rose up against it. Even Billy Graham was caught up in opposing Jewish evangelism and said that Israel had its own separate covenant with God and didn't need to be evangelized. This is the same thing that a number of leading ministries such as John Hagee and others are doing to this very day. Because of this opposition many Churches including many from the Southern Baptist and others backed down on trying to reach the Jews with the Gospel. There is only one way to heaven for anyone, Jew or Gentile, and that is through faith in God's only begotten son Jesus Christ. We must share with other Christians the importance of this message if we want to see our America and our families saved. Satan wants to stop what God is doing and we must do what we can to stop him from doing it.
You know the scriptures tell us that the carnal mind is enemy with God. The carnal mind cannot receive what I have been sharing with you in this teaching. Only a person that has the Holy Spirit can receive it. I do not claim to be a prophet but I am a man of God and just as Elisha prayed for God to open the eyes of Gahazi, I am praying that God will open the eyes of the Gentile people that make up the Gentile part of the Church to see the truth and seek God to do something about it.
