Israel and the Church
The Mystery of Israel
(A 1999 convocation message) Art probes the perplexity of the mystery of Israel given in Romans 11 and Psalm 102.
The Mystery of Israel and the Church
Central to the true comprehension of the Church of itself only as it understands and consciously and willfully receives its mandate toward Israel.
The Mystery of the Gentile Church
Another expression of this profound mystery.
The Mystery of Zion
Art seeks to define the mystery word Zion, to bring the Church into an apprehension of what it represents, and in the last analysis, to become it―or there will be no deliverance for Israel, for if her deliverance will not come out of Zion, it will not come at all.
The Necessity of the Cross
Unless we see what is required to save us from an eternal Hell, then we will not understand how far God will go to ransom a person or a nation (Israel).
The Plight of the Jew
In the light of growing anti-Semitism, Art sounds an alert to the Church to make her aware of the gravity of what is taking place presently in the world toward the Jew.
The Radical Controversy
The scandal of the gospel is revealed no more abruptly than in our witness to the Jew.
The Remnant People of God
In the final analysis, God is mainly interested in a remnant people who stand for the whole, both for the predominantly Gentile church and Israel.
The Rich Young Ruler and the Blind Beggar
Art examines the contrast of these two individuals in their ability to recognize Jesus. The blind see and the rich go empty away. Art brings the significance of this episode into an endtimes scenario. Definitely an all-time epochal message.
The Scandal of Specificity
A God who chooses is central to an understanding of the faith. Another incisive expression of God’s choice of Israel with an excellent ‘questions and answers’ session at the end.
The Sheep vs. the Goats
How we relate in covering the shameful, especially the despised Jew in the Last Days, is the principal separating determination of the Lord when He comes as Judge.
The Significance of Israel’s Restoration
An insight into God’s strategy with regards to His final and soon-coming dealing with Israel before He judges the nations. Devastates the whole false “rapture” theory.
The Significance of Passover
Art shows that the Passover has far-reaching implication for the Israel of today as well as being rich and instructive for the church.
The Suffering before the Glory
For those who want to sink their teeth into the mystery of Israel, this tape touches the key issue of the necessary death of Israel before she can enter her glory.
The Symphonic Overture
An overview of the Mystery of Israel and the Church in which Art shows that God is not finished with the Jew. Spoken to a Chinese audience.
The Tabernacle of David (1 of 2)
An exploration of what constitutes the tabernacle of David, and the essence of the Davidic heart, so necessary for its restoration.
The Tent of Shem
God has appointed a tent as being symbolic of the ultimate union He calls us to. It is only our own unbelief and prejudice that resists and does not ‘bow’ to this glorious condition of relationship.
The Theocratic Kingdom
With all the emphasis on ‘revival’ presently occurring, Art examines what true revival should lead to, namely, a mode of apostolic understanding that identifies with and embraces the imminent coming Kingdom.
The Time of Jacob’s Trouble
Drawing on the prophetic scriptures, Art brings to the church a framework of understanding of what it will take for present-day Jacob to become the Israel of God.
The Union of the Church and Israel
Art shows that the glory of what the Church is cannot be disconnected from past believers (the invisible cloud of witnesses) nor from the future glory of the nation Israel. A 1994 message.
