00:00All right, we do have another question here from Rodney Smith and it says, yes, will Ephraim
00:11be saved?
00:12Will Ephraim be saved?
00:14Any individual who comes to Christ will be saved.
00:18In Psalm 78, I believe it is, verse 67, 68, moreover, he refused the tabernacle of Joseph
00:27and chose not the tribe of Ephraim, but chose the tribe of Judah, the Mount Zion, which
00:31he loved.
00:32The tabernacle was once in Shiloh, which is in the territory of Ephraim, and the tabernacle
00:36meant everything to the Israelites, everything, and the Philistines knew that.
00:40That's why they captured the ark and hoped the ark's power would work for them.
00:44The ark was once placed at Shiloh in the territory of Ephraim.
00:47Ephraim was not faithful, and after years of not doing what God would have them to do,
00:52even though they were among the most numerous of tribes and most influential, that's why
00:57the northern kingdom was called Ephraim, the southern kingdom was called Judah.
01:01Ephraim is often used to refer to the entire northern kingdom made up of 10 tribes.
01:05Because of their faithfulness, God shifted the tabernacle from Shiloh to Zion, you see,
01:11which is in the land of Judah.
01:13And so Ephraimite, any individual Ephraimite who comes to God can be saved.
01:18God saves individuals.
01:20When God, when Noah pronounced a curse on Canaan, the son of Ham, Eloias is clear, yes,
01:26there was a curse, but any individual could have come to God.
01:29When Christ said, your house is left unto you desolate, and the Hebrews, the Israelites,
01:33as a nation were rejected, any individual Israelite could come to God.
01:37God will accept any individual who comes to him.
01:41So yes, Ephraimites will be saved.
01:45Danites will be saved.
01:46We may have some descendants of Judas who will be saved, we don't know.
01:53But if you come to God, you'll be saved.
01:57So Ephraimites will be saved, that's my best response.
02:01God doesn't save tribes, he saves individuals who are gathered together.
02:04That's right, that's right.
02:07God is a personal God.
02:09God is a personal God at all times, he never changes.
02:12Personal God.
02:13Amen.
02:14Amen.
02:23Amen.
