The Key to End-Time Revival... And Your Role In It
This week Rabbi Schneider teaches on the heart of Paul’s message in the book of Romans, God’s end time plans for Israel, and your role in reaching the Jewish people for Yeshua.
God will not fulfill his purposes until the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are saved. Many times when we read the book of Romans or have heard the book of Romans taught, we hear it taught as the pathway to salvation. But when Paul wrote it, he was thinking specifically of Israel's salvation. And so what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna go right to the heart of the book of Romans. We're gonna look at three chapters in consecutive order. We're gonna look at Romans 9, Romans 10, and Romans 11, just to select verses that pinpoint what it is that is the burden of Paul's heart. So let's begin here to understand the message that God has for us, that he wants us to incorporate today so we'll come into alignment with his thoughts and plan for Israel. Hear the word of God, Romans 9, beginning in verse one. I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying. My conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit. So what's happening right now is Paul's about to tell us what his thoughts are and what his heart is, and as he's doing so, he's bringing the Holy Spirit into us, into the equation, helping us to understand that his burden and his heart, that the words he's about to speak to us or write for us are in fellowship with the Holy Spirit. He continues on, he says, I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.
So what this means is the Holy Spirit is grieving also. He continues, for I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh who are Israelites of who belong the adoption as sons and daughters, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple services, and the promises. So Paul's burden is for Israel. Now, as Paul continues in chapter 10, notice the first verses of chapter 10. In chapter nine, he's talking about the burden of his heart in fellowship with the Holy Spirit for his own people, the Jewish people. In chapter 10, he writes, brothers and sisters, my heart's desire, my prayer to God for them is for their salvation. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge. For not knowing about God's righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law of righteousness or for righteousness to everyone who believes. So Paul is saying that his heart's desire and prayer for Israel is that they be saved. And then Paul says, I bear them witness concerning their zeal for God. They're sincere, they're passionate, but they're misaligned.
They're on the wrong path. It's like if someone wants to go from Ohio to let's say Florida, and they have a connecting flight in Atlanta, it's like you get to Atlanta, but you miss the connecting flight from Atlanta all the way to Miami. So this is where the Jewish people are. They're passionate, they're sincere, but they're misaligned. They got off track. They sought to find God by establishing their own righteousness. This is why Paul thought it was so critical that they heard the gospels so they could be saved. Paul continues, that's how he began. My heart's prayer for them, Paul said, is for their salvation. He said, they're zealous, but they missed it. Jesus talked about the same thing when he talked about the stone that the builders rejected, meaning himself. Now in chapter 11, Paul continues. I say then they did not stumble as to fall, did they? Paul's saying, even though they missed it, even though the massive Jewish people in Paul's time, and even today, have not yet received Jesus, Paul goes on to tell us in Romans 11, yet God has not forsaken them. They're still elect in God's eyes.
They're still a treasure to the Lord. God has a specific call on Israel that is from the very beginning, all the way back to Abraham. So Paul said, I say then, they did not stumble as to fall, did they? Far from it. But by their wrongdoing, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous. In other words, God had a plan that because the Jewish people rejected, Paul was sent to the Gentiles. As a result, the Gentile world came to salvation, but it's not over yet, because Paul says, the salvation of the Gentiles will provoke Jewish people to jealousy when they see the passion the Gentiles have for the Lord and the intimate relationship they have. Paul continues. Now, if. their wrongdoing proves to be richest for the world, and their failure richest for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be? But I'm speaking to you, our Gentiles, therefore, insofar as I'm an apostle of Gentiles, Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if somehow I may move my own countrymen to jealousy and save some of them. So Paul said, I magnify my ministry to the Gentiles,
because through them, Jewish people will be provoked to jealousy. For if their rejection, if the Jewish people's rejection proves to be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? Paul says, when they rejected Jesus, salvation went to the Gentiles. He said, think what it's gonna be like when the Jewish people receive the gospel, it's gonna be like life from the dead for the entire world. So it is so critical beloved, that the whole church focuses on reaching Jewish people. It's part of God's end times plan. The end will not come beloved ones until there's a mass of Jewish people that have received Jesus as their Lord and savior. This is so important, because there is a demonic theology, a demonic message that's being taught today, that the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are not true Jews, that they're not the real Israel. A message is being taught far and wide today, it's called replacement theology, that God's covenant with the Jewish people is no longer in effect. I'm not sure if you're hearing any of this, I'm seeing a lot of it on YouTube, a lot of hatred out there. We know that antisemitism is rising,
and not only is antisemitism rising because of the recent wars in Gaza and Israel, not only is that part of the antisemitism, where people have turned against Israel because of the wars that are going on, but there's been a subtle shift that is also antisemitic, and the shift that I'm referring to is this notion that God no longer has a special plan for Jewish people, that they broke the covenant with God, therefore they forfeited their role in God's redemptive plan, and even further than that, there's teaching going forth now that Ashkenazi Jews, which are Jews that have come to Israel and the U.S. from Russian speaking countries, they're not real Jews, and it's just from the pit of hell. So we need to understand the heart of God, that God will not fulfill his purposes for the earth until the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are saved, that the Jews that have made aliyah to Israel from Russian speaking countries, Ashkenazi Jews, which make up most of the Jewish population in the United States, these are real Jews, these are the true descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and there's no message that they need to hear more than the message of Yeshua, the Messiah. Beloved, we are disruptive, we have to disrupt if we're gonna make a difference, and when you start sharing with Jewish people
that Jesus is the Messiah, you will be disrupted and you'll be rejected, but God has called me to do it, and in fact, he's called you and the whole church to do it. Now, listen to these testimonies, these are real live testimonies that Discovering the Jewish Jews is receiving. Here we go, I'll read four or five of them, but you'll be interested in this, because a lot of times we hear about the salvation of the Jewish people, but I'm giving you testimonies of Jewish people that have really found the Lord through my ministry, here we go. Up until 2021, I'd been a practicing Jew at a Reform Congregation in the Boston area where I live. Now, when he says Reform Congregation, there are three main denominations, so to speak, of Judaism. There's Orthodox, which is the strictest, Conservative, which is in the middle, and Reform, which is just kind of a really popular denomination for Jewish people in the United States. So he was going to a traditional Reform Jewish synagogue. He continues, I'd been watching Rabbi Discovering the Jewish Jesus regularly for a couple of years while still attending the Reform Jewish Congregation. Again, this is a traditional Jewish congregation he's attending, he's a Jewish guy attending his ancestral type of congregation. He continues, as the months went by, I felt that something was missing each time I attended. During this period, I realized that the missing component
I sought was Yeshua. I attribute my decision to a great extent to the teaching I received from watching Rabbi Schneider. Once again, that's from Boston and his name is Howard. Continuing on, new testimony. This one's from a woman that came to the Lord when I was in Jerusalem doing an outreach, preaching the kingdom of God, preaching the gospel. I remember preaching and I was looking over the 500 Jewish people that were listening as I articulated the gospel of Messiah Yeshua. And while I was preaching, I felt so anointed. I felt the power of God. But when I looked at the 500 Jewish souls I was preaching to, it looked like I wasn't making one bit of difference at all. Their faces were straight, blank, no smile, no emotion, nothing. So I felt really empowered, but it looked like I was having zero impact. I was getting to the end of my message. I had about two minutes left. I'm looking again at this crowd that just looked cold. And right as I'm getting to the close, beloved, I see a woman in the front row. I see a tear coming down her face. She was the first Jewish soul there. She actually started shaking. At the end of my message, I asked if you want
to receive Jesus, Yeshua today as your Messiah, raise your hand. She raised her hand. Her name was Anna. Then after she raised her hand, many other hands went up. Then I said, if you raised your hand and want to receive Yeshua today, this is in Jerusalem. I'm speaking to Jewish people. If you want to receive Yeshua, I said, as your Messiah, stand up, literally. A third of the Jewish people there stood up and prayed to receive Jesus as their Messiah. Anna wrote to us. She said, she spoke and she said, honestly, how do I express this? She's explaining what happened to her when she was under the gospel's teaching. How do I express this? I just started crying. It was emotional. I feel him with my heart. Another Jewish soul that came to Jesus as a result, beloved, of discovering the Jewish Jesus. Thank you for your prayers and love and support. Here's another one. This one came in through Facebook. How can a Jew believe in Jesus without losing their Jewish identity? I prayed for help. I turned on the TV and there was rabbi talking to me.
I will forever be grateful to rabbi Schneider. So she wrote this on Facebook, but she received the Lord as she was watching me teach on television. And I could go on. Let me share this last one with you. This is a very radical one. I'm leaving some of it out because it's so radical. This man, this Jewish man actually drifted into Satanism, but I don't want to get into his whole story. It's quite long, but let me read you the thrux of it. This is from Ryan in New York. He said this, Shalom, I was born a Jew in New York City. My testimony is rather radical. I was an atheist filled with bitterness and anger. I was also bullied by Christians for being Jewish, further building bitterness and hatreds towards God. It has been seven years. So now the stories unfold. Seven years, God, after, after he's been walking with the Lord now for seven years. So obviously he came out of his bitterness. He came out of atheism. He came out of his drifting into Satanism. And now when he writes us, he's been following the Lord for seven years. So he picks up and he says this, it has been seven years with Yeshua and he radically delivered me
and healed the brokenness deep down inside of my heart. Rabbi Schneider's videos and teachings were the first that tremendously helped me understand the Jewish Jesus. Yeshua has now given me the privilege, get this now, an honor to lead multiple Jews to Yeshua and disciple them. So here's a Jewish man, came to faith under my ministry. And not only did he get radically saved and delivered himself, now he's leading other Jewish people to the Lord. So this is what God is doing through this ministry, beloved. I want to encourage you. Let's believe for a critical mass of Jewish people to come to Messiah in faith and call upon him to return because this is what's gonna usher in the return of Messiah Jesus, your savior and mine, so that he becomes the Lord of the world and that new millennium is ushered in. Let me tell you what we're doing right now to further this mass salvation that we're believing for and what scripture promises of Jewish people coming to faith. What are we doing to bring Jewish people to faith? So much has been done for Israel in terms of blessing them materially, blessing them through the wars, showing them love, but you know what? There's not enough going on to actually preach the gospel and share the good news of the
kingdom with Jewish people. And ultimately, I think we all agree, this is the most important thing. It's like Yeshua said, what is a man prophet if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul? The apostle Paul said about Jewish people that he would give up his own salvation if they would come to faith because he realized it's a life and death matter. And so what are we doing, beloved? What are we doing about it to be on the ground, literally sharing the gospel with Jewish people in Israel? Well, we've developed a genius strategy, and I'm not giving myself the credit because this actually, this strategy actually was developed by one of my team members here, this specific saying. And the saying is, what if he is right? So what we're doing, what Discovering the Jewish Jesus is doing, is we've launched a digital campaign in Israel, digitally with an ad. And what the ad looks like is a man, you can't quite see who he is, you just see his eyes. And then it says in Hebrew, what if he is right? So they see this face, they don't know who it is, they just see the person's eyes. And then next to his face, it says, what if he's right? And people are looking at, what if who is right? And so then what they do is they go to the website, what if he's right.com in Hebrew, or they can scan the QR code on the digital ad and also on the billboards that we have in Israel. And when they go to the website through the domain name or through the QR code, they have to enter it, they have to be 18 years or older, just because we can't proselytize children in Israel, it's against the law. So they have to be 18 to enter. And they say, yes, I'm 18 or over. And then they're brought to a video. They're brought to a short video listing the most foundational messianic prophecies in
the Torah. The law and the prophets say these are the signs of the Messiah. For example, that there was one that was going to be born in Bethlehem, and that his going forth would be from long ago, from the days of eternity. This is an everlasting one born in Bethlehem. There's not an answer that it was Jesus yet. It's just showing my beloved Jewish brothers and sisters, the messianic prophecies in the Hebrew Bible. And then we have portions of Isaiah 53. And after the four messianic prophecies, what happens is the picture that they saw when they clicked on the ad or on the billboard, suddenly it comes into focus and it comes into focus with a man with a thorn on his head. In other words, the picture that they saw originally on the billboard, they couldn't tell who it was. All they saw was his eyes. But now the son, that man becomes full blown. They can see who it is. And there's a crown of thorns on his head and blood dripping down his face because Messiah Yeshua died and shed his blood for our sins. They see who it is. And then it says at the very bottom for a free download of the book, Messianic Prophecy Revealed, just click here. So I've written a book. It's called Messianic Prophecy Revealed. It goes through 21 messianic prophecies in the Hebrew Bible. And they can download the book, get this now, for absolutely no cost. It's free. My publisher blessed me by saying, Rabbi, we believe in what you're doing. You could offer this free to everybody in Israel. So we beloved, we're doing something.
We're preaching the gospel. God has given me a mandate, a supernatural mandate. He spoke to me. I heard his voice, September 1st, 2023. And he challenged me to challenge Israel, not just to be polite, but to literally challenge them in his love with the truth that Yeshua of Nazareth is the Messiah. When the Lord spoke to me that night, he actually quoted to me Acts 2.22, which says, men of Israel, listen to these words. Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by miracles, signs, and wonders, just as you yourself know, you put to death by the predetermined plan of God through godless men. But God raised him up again since the grave could not hold him in its power. So Peter is lifting up Messiah Yeshua that was crucified by the religious leaders of Israel. And Peter was proclaiming he is the chosen one and he is your Messiah. So beloved, that's what we're doing. That's what I'm doing. And I wanna ask you to believe with me for a mass salvation of Jewish souls because this will enter, this will usher in Jesus' return. Just before Jesus was crucified, as he was on his way to the cross, he looked at the Jewish people that he loved so much that he said to how often, I wanted to gather you under my arms like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. Jesus was reaching his arms out towards Israel. And he said, but you would not. And then Jesus said, behold, you will not see me again. Jesus said, you'll not see me again until you're saying, Baruch haba b'shem Adonai,
which is translated in English as, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. So what this means, beloved, is Jesus isn't coming back until there's a critical mass of Jewish people that are calling upon him to return. And this is what's gonna usher in the return of your Messiah and my Messiah. In the book of Numbers chapter six, the Lord gave instructions to Moses and Aaron to speak this blessing over his people. And the Lord said, when you speak these words over my people, I will place my name on them and bless them. Receive the impartation of the Lord's blessings. ♪ Yeh-vah recheche Yah-weh vayish-mah-reh-chah ♪ ♪ Yah-eh Yah-weh v'nav-eh-leh-chah v'hu-neh-chah ♪ ♪ Yeh-vah recheche Yah-weh vayish-mah-reh-chah ♪ ♪ Yah-eh Yah-weh v'nav-eh-leh-chah v'hu-neh-chah ♪ ♪ V'asem-leh-chah Shalom ♪ ♪ V'asem-leh-chah Shalom ♪ The Lord bless you and keep you.
