You've got questions, we've got answers. The whole purpose of this broadcast is to answer as many of your questions as we can, as much depth as we can.

So with that we go straight to the phones and will start with Joe in Ontario, Canada. Welcome to the line of fire. Will Joe are you there all right not now hang out every so often we had something happen with phone lines communication or some such thing sold. Not sure what that is both if we have a two straight lines that we know there is a issue with the phone line in the studio here quite a let's go to Eddie in Madison, Connecticut. Welcome to the line of fire.

Dr. Brown article. I'm doing good Matt, good to hear your voice like my question about we talk about in the Bible the other day. I think I'm making more enemies than printer but anyway there's a quite a lot has been the pattern as long as you been calling a man that's that's what happens with New Yorkers in Connecticut that's that's trouble. Dr. product epigram according to guide you in heaven right now talking about what he said. He said in my father's house are many mansions I go prepare I'll come back and get you and receive you, so that were IBM will be also back at Berkeley be there.

I'm coming back to get infected that were IN the you will be there also like the back with the nail in the coffin. Yet action actually your friends right on this one and then you read too much into it number one read. We read of Paul talking about to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord in second Corinthians 5 and remember what Jesus said to the thief on the cross today.

You'll be with me in paradise so that someone can be with him in paradise in the world to come. We read Revelation 6 about those who were martyred, who martyred for their faith and their crying out how and there before the throne of God in heaven crying out how long so you read too much into that, but really it's it's a spiritual application that that word that we translate mansions or or rooms was interesting. Is it only occurs twice in in the New Testament Greek and both times. It's in John XIV chapter in which talking about Jesus when he comes is not on metaphysical second coming, but in God's spiritual house making room for us. So if you go down a little bit in the chapter he says verse 15 if you love me, keep my commands and I will ask the father who give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever. John 1417 the spirit of truth will can accept them because neither sees him nor knows him.

You know if or he lives with you and will be in you.

I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you how by the spirit doesn't mean second coming here I will come to before long, the world will not see him anymore, but you will see me because I live, you also live on that day you will realize that I am and my father and you are in me and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them as one who loves me less, maybe love my father out you will love them and show myself to them, and then he says, anyone who loves me will obey my teaching, my father will love them and we will come to them and make our home with them.

So it's the same concept. There many rooms in my father's house he's going to come returning to us by his Spirit, so this is where John 14 is refilled spiritually as we go with him. One of the verse so that refutes your idea about no one in heaven Outlook in in Hebrews chapter 12 and let's see verse 22.

You've come to Mount Zion to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.

You have come to thousands upon thousands and joyful assembly to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You've come to God, the judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect so righteous saints. The Saints of the past are there in the presence of God and waiting for the physical resurrection yes so heavens very very busy with a lot going on there and with believers. There enjoying the presence of God hate this way of Bible study, you tell him I said that they were right this time because of the times of said that you are right, but there right this time. Right God bless 866-34-TRUTH we retry Joe in Ontario, Canada. Welcome to the line of fire. Dr. Brown. Marino yes I can. Thank you very much for taking my call. Her reporter will be returned to work during our euro. I told a couple of group building Berkeley group of Europe in regard on your troop under I am what you are not on most of it but there is but one aspect Dr. Carter caught my attention. I'm not sure if I'm offended right to regard you made between our sin on our visit figure for her and that that we still have no earthly.why would have two visitors will celebrate you.

Goal by diverting their apartment go right. There were children or your bearing the gel were Yoshioka I would still have been as well going to compute me under the current equipment I was particularly correct and bright by what you did.

Yes or no. When I hear you now.

The public, only that I have a record just water on a gold reporter must perturb nothing to forgive me right there.applying birthday more with right so yeah so I appreciate the question, let me say exactly what I do believe and understand. And then I was all drawn best explain specifically that the answer to the question you're asking. I believe that when that Jesus did not die for our sins, and then separately suffer for sicknesses and unbelief that my understanding is that his death on the cross paid for our sins and ultimately for everything that's in broth to us. So the destruction it brought to our minds to our spirits to our bodies and that ultimately being resurrected and with God forever and ever and ever, was all paid for the cross right. We won't receive our resurrected bodies yet will still die physically, but we can be set free from sin. Of course were forgiven, we can receive emotional healing.

We can receive physical healing. Other L was at the cost of his wounds. There is healing for us.

It's all now made available through the cross. Do we have full power to live above sin through what Jesus is done. Yes. And yet we still don't because were in this world we don't live perfectly where we are free from habitual sin, and yet we still need cleansing and washing by the blood of Jesus because were still in this world. That's how I see it with healing that ultimately we will die physically, but that healing has been provided at the cross through the atonement. It is available to us, but we don't always see everything realized in this world. So, just as we don't see perfect victory over sin in this world, even though its purchase for us. We don't experience perfect healing of our bodies in this world, even though its purchase price less thing I don't believe the right way to read the text by his stripes you were healed. Means I was ready physically healed at the cross and now I just have to appropriate that I don't see that I see that the the cost that the the price was paid to make it all available and as I take hold of it by faith by the spirit. I can experience it in my life. I kinda obit off the ground in regard to particle right now before Christ, Mark. There is your favorite QuickBooks. When I agree with you.

I like your predicament, why bully on the thought that you could take me yet gotten again.I'm forgiven right yesterday.applying birthday more with our going to God, I have been a huge headache filming during the early morning or later… You forget my thing, notes that the opposite. In other words your student die physically correct unless Jesus returns first rodeo die physically. So our bodies are not yet fully redeemed our spirits, born again. They are fully redeemed so forgiveness is 100% because that's a spiritual transaction that's been made, but the things that pertain to this world were still in this world here were instantly born again and declared righteous by God and made holy. The moment resaved in them are called to live righteously and to live holy lives and to renew our mind and then we also have to discipline the flesh.

So even though we been born from above. Even though we have eternal life and are perfectly justified in God's sight. Yet, we have to renew our minds.

We have to discipline her body so the same way everything is been purchased at the cross, but we don't see the full realization of all of it in this world. So I do not believe that we question forgiveness not for split-second. But I do not believe that we go around saying on ready healed. In other words, someone is dying of cancer and be civil there ready healed there ready healed at the cross and it just has to manifest in them when they die. Will is it what has to manifest that you know so to me that's where people get into denial and misinterpret Scripture.

Something weird where within an inch of each other. Overall but bottom line is, think of it like this at the cross. Everything we need for life and godliness was purchased from here through eternity and much of it.

We will experience in this world, the forgiveness of sins justification fellowship with God victory over sin for breakthroughs from demonic oppression, healing of disease but we don't see it perfectly in this world because were in this world and ultimately we are physically.theoretically we could just be healed forever, right but we know that Sica happen. That being said, I believe that if will press into God and takeover. This promises, and persevere and and and speak his word is true that we will see breakthroughs and results far beyond anything we've seen thus far.

At the cost of his wounds is healing for us spirit, soul, body, and then ultimately eternal resurrection life. Hey, I appreciate the call my brother and keep processing these things and see where you land ultimately may come to different Scripture conclusion me on this.

God bless you, 866-3423 the stricture because we come back file line of fire with your host Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown as friends for joining us on the far truth.

This $is the bottom of the chat box so you can help you feel prompted to stand with us would be awesome. All right, back to the phones out. Let's go to Budapest, Hungary. Benjamin, welcome to the line of fire about higher doing well you know what, I've only been to to Budapest twice to speak it Faith Church with Pastor Chandra but what an amazingly beautiful city in the what it what a great church there at Toyota recently about the vehicle. Should you II really enjoyed it but I was kind of like Debian because of the you're about to tell Joe, but they can be DB regarding the I don't I don't know what the joke was, otherwise I would tell her to now.

Sorry yet because it's our deck so your debate with the gentleman.

I don't remember his name about preparing them and the question I think you didn't address but I was quite interested about it is the code from BSC translation, Matthew and Luke the gospel. Jesus said that truly I say to you about something, from spending here.

Leona taste death until this day the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. Voting Luke under they see the kingdom of God and I wanted Jessica that this man or the law did give the man about the thumb with an S yes so the printer is euphoric for those listening that are not familiar with this. The printer's view says that many of the things we are still looking forward to the second coming of Jesus, etc. they really took place that that when Jesus talked about coming in power or spoke about the Son of Man coming.

He was time I coming to destroy Jerusalem in the year 70 and that was the end of that era and then a full prejudice which really has a heretical position says that there will be no physical resurrection of the dead. This really happened spiritually that we are now living in the new heavens and the newer sets of extreme position. Most of Holter printer is him or partial predators so they would say some of the future prophecies have already been fulfilled.

And of course I differ with them there so this would be a tax that would use be used by predators to say Jesus is telling people right then and there that there gonna be alive when he returns. And that's obviously speaking of coming in power coming with the clouds in in the destruction of Jerusalem in the year 70. So the easiest way to refute that sir is just to look at all three Gospels and hears was really interesting how you know if you read through the synoptic Gospels Matthew Mark and Luke that they have a few things in the same order, but most things are in different order right. This teaching here next to this event here.

This parable here next to this other teaching an event, but in this case they all have the exact same thing. So we go to Matthew 1628.

Truly I tell you some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom. Next verse 17 one. After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James led them up on a high mount by themselves and he was transfigured before them right so that's that.

The next verse.

Now we go over to Mark nine with the same account is found is get the right sees me mark the end of the eighth chapter right and we can have the exact same situation here.

Mark the end of the eighth chapter last verse says this a truly I tell you Susan Mark 91. Some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God is come with power. Next verse nine 6:02 days Jesus to Peter, James and John with him led them on the mount mount there he was transfigured. It's the same thing. Now in Luke the ninth chapter exact same account exact same teaching Jesus says the same thing here the words.

Truly I tell you. 927 similar standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God. 928 but eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John, James, with them up on the mount. He was praying, the appearance of his face changed his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning, etc. is no question in synoptic Gospels of Benjamin that this is talking about the Transfiguration event. All three record the exact same thing. Peter says Jesus says this about a week later he goes up on the mountain. He's transfigured and they see him in glory.

That's what he was talking about and that's that's how the Gospels make a great point yet all three same order same saying exactly you are very welcome sir, 866-34-TRUTH.

You know sometimes my citizen has meaning things was clear his nose on our face and I got a notice right so that's sometimes it's right there, you may not notice it is Matthew 16 ends and and in chapter 17 begins with this one straight thing in Greek. These notes will break their all right let us go over to Anthony in New York City. Thanks for calling on a fire hello Dr. Brown thank you for taking Michael, you bet. Though I have a question about remaining single, new friend of mine had accommodation a couple of days ago and that you know is not only talk will, but someone who you want to get married, you know that you know sometimes the gospel 13 or 30 people to remain single and odd that you know I you.

I reject that you got that you are meant to be alone again and Equipment and met you yet. They are unite over yardarm and in the Bible to have been you everything single example of Elijah Daniel, John the Baptist, and you don't pull it off.

Speak about you, which is that dumb that I like him everything single both because of the flash.

The weakness of the flesh, you know every meant to be in Elko to find a woman I call if you want if you want to remain single at your choice, but not got well so I didn't want to get… Yeah, I appreciate your reasoning and looking at it is God's will for some. In other words, just like God told Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 16 to never marry.

Matthew 19 Jesus says that there are some who are UNIX they've made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of God, meaning they will not marry or have sexual relations, just to be devoted to the kingdom of God and then first 20 and seven that you are referencing pulses, not everyone has this gift, so to those who have it.

Some do. There are some who by divine calling are called to be single and maybe you know they keep trying that relationship and it never works out and the more they pursue the Lord Lord just chosen that that is taken at this our way and that he has a call to single myself. There are some people that just put off marriage because they're afraid to get married right and and then the younger generation is putting off marriage much more than than my generation did you know waiting to get married into their 30s instead of in their early 20s, early teens, so this is kind of a social thing that's happening. So if if someone feels called to be single, then they're not going to constantly be wishing and yearning to be in a relationship and and fighting sexual desires and always feeling left out the file. I'm blessed maybe it's for all my life. Or maybe it's now but I'm blessed to be single. It's my calling. So yeah, it's not the calling for most, but it is the calling for some and I would dare say that if if a person feels that strongly that they want to be single and just be devoted to the Lord in his work that then it's is probably going to put it in their heart in a John Haydn was praying hi, one of the great men of prayer. Late 1800s to the 1900s, missionary to India.

He did not want anyone to share his affections. Except the Lord he did not want anyone to have his heart accept Jesus so he chose to never marry and just sought God earnestly in prayer and gave himself to minister in very difficult ways, risking his life, but I believe it was God that put that in his heart so that's out work it out that yes, some to make the choice, but it could well be the God put in the hard to make the choice, but for sure. Either way, there are definitely some God calls to be single. It's the calling. And there's grace to do it and there is content single is someone else's contentment is not the norm, with Stephanie calling for some, hate appreciate the call my brother. Thanks for checking in 86634 of us go to Christian in Toledo, Ohio. Welcome to the line of fire going on bro a man quickly ruin the home of the divorce word will do.

No one knows what he will go yeah I saw you in some other argument you will feel like I was human nature talking divine and human.

The hours I would get to work on is what you think about Angela's customs order number three know a lot about all wear light like the father knew that Connie was ghost in the stomach to Grider light, which go that argument now since it know it's it's it's a bogus argument has some try to argue that has to do with Jewish feast and in the feast of trumpets and no one knew the day of the hour.

That is not accurate.

I've searched every two resource I know how to search a check with rabbis of is not accurate. It's an Internet myth.

Rather, there were things Jesus didn't know on earth. In other words, things revealed to him by the spirit. He willingly laid aside divine prerogatives. He physically had to sleep. I'm sure he had to learn to read and things like that so he knew what he knew by the spirit.

He did what he did by the spirit because he willingly laid aside his divine prerogatives will remain fully God. So I do believe I do agree with that, sir, that it's while he was on the earth but there were certain things he didn't know that was one of them. Of course after his death and resurrection. Then regains takes back his divine prerogative, so they were always there available, but he laid them aside so I do agree with that few I wouldn't go the way of Jewish tradition. I don't believe it. It helps in that first. Thank you sir request error on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown.

Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown is a special announcement on Friday, I noted 866-34-TRUTH 87884. You've got questions, we've got answers. Thanks for joining us today and we dig right in with your questions. You can't get through to us on the air just doesn't work out with your schedule to call most of the website asked her to Brown.org SK dear Brown.org and just search for your question there. We we've got literally thousands of free resources, their videos, articles, other teaching, so search there check out what's there. Always write to us as well ask Dr. Brown.org a we go to Foley Alabama Brian, welcome to the line of fire dog barking here in a good yeah I can all require bold, where do you think your if you know where the arbitrary deed of being a white male know where you are, and while the there are a popular among McBeal Poplar Mark America yeah so basically it comes from European artists who painted Jesus to look like themselves with really interesting is this. If you go around the world and look at Chinese Christian art you'll see Jesus looking like he's Chinese. I I've seen different images. II remember I was visiting with a friend in college and conventional black church in Brooklyn. We walked in there was a mural on the wall. It was Jesus and the disciples all black so it's is very much that and in the culture which we live.

We projected and see Jesus like that was, he would've most likely been in a brown skin Middle Eastern man, but yet these European artists began to to paint pictures of Jesus, making him look European which actually wasn't. He was not of your Caucasian you know blonde or whatever blonde hair, blue eyes, Caucasian man, certainly not, but that's another story to paint him. Some were anti-Semitic and they would try to make him look one way and then make the Jews look ugly and disfigured but basically is just is somewhat paint and wearing clothes that were similar to the close they would wear. You know, just because that's what would they were used to in their culture and the reason that it's it's popular still in certain circles you know of white circles be in European America is that's where people got used to and you know when they think of Jesus, they think of them. They don't really think it through. But they think of him as if he was white and but it's you'll see it in artwork all around the world that people paint Jesus to look like them.

So the good thing is we know.

Hey, he relates to me. I can relate to him. The bad thing is he wasn't in all white European or white American and and that gives the idea, it's the white man's religion in certain parts the world. That's how it's perceived, invest in a good Indians proceed as the white man's religion and know that something has to be overcome by showing who he really was our know you now go hello light, I don't think it is not our lack not like walking 30.

The figure. The thing God never, and I believe that I don't think it felt good about mold like worshiping or worth of current. The very whatever figure you know think it might a good idea to be going a good novel but idle. Not the believe they have enough bigger is ideal thinking out different ideal not I first first, I'm not into Jesus pictures in general. In other words, I don't think there should be making images not look your ear, you're doing a movie about Jesus who has to play him. I understand that you know you doing up the high school player and some is playing Jesus.

I understand you have image member understands that's that's not Jesus, son. I'm not into the pictures on my chemical tearing them down from somebody's house but I'm I'm not into that. Personally and in terms of unit or or even stained-glass windows with depicting Jesus on a not into that either.

But if you take it one step further and that you have statues, even if you say will not praying to the stature means to me. It's plainly forbidden in the 10 Commandments to make a statute representing God in any way and then ultimately you need to look people do give special attention to that statute.

For example, if if you have a statue of Jesus and the church building and people knelt down in front of admissible on my printer stature just reminds me of Jesus. Okay to be far more extent.

If that statute was broken. Then, if there's some piece of pottery in the building was broken because you knew it you attach sacredness to it. On some level, so I definitely when you asked the question very gently.

Is it not ideal. It's absolutely not ideal, and I would not have any buildings that Rose worshiping God hey Brian, thanks for the question.

I appreciated 866-34-TRUTH.

Let's go over to Greg in Mooresville, North Carolina. Welcome to the line of fire like dark brown. I question from second Samuel chapter 22 verse four or, no doubt from the first first chapter pointed out that to represent David being thankful for God delivering him from all his regular solid gains.

All in all the other situation without 100 and at first is speaking of even think about you think of speaking about David or speak about Jesus and stars stars all right when he says the point is is a close gleam of the head of nations remove nations know he actually did rule over several of the surrounding countries. He and and Solomon did he have a small Empire where they had to pay tribute to him and things like that.

There was, he defeated them militarily and they had a pay tribute to him so II believe he speaking of himself that he literally was made, the ruler of several nations in the region and that even they didn't work literary right yet when when you say he then sat on the wood translation.

Your new reading from, but not recurring dreams of even think I will take Taylor running the me check that I can easily do that and in point of fact, though, that the he resist peoples and nations so either way that's that's what he's he would not be referring to the seven see this, but people's nations surrounding nations. He did rule over over several of the smaller kingdoms so you that that would fit there many things in David's life and anticipate the Messiah and that are prophetic of the Messiah, but I would I would only see this is literally applying to him and then ultimately is the forerunner of the Messiah.

What he does in small part Messiah does a massive scale. She could apply like that but know it it it really did happen in his life for sure. I wasn't sure I didn't realize about the ruler of all nations. Like I never really thought about that if you if you read through it read to second Samuel, you'll see the military victories he had and then differently places the subject is him then ended under Solomon when Solomon fell into sin and idolatry more then they started to break away, but certainly there. There was rulership that they had. There was that you could say a small Empire that inner-city rule over like a large country like Egypt or something like that had the small countries are Moab and I moaned and idem, and these others consider different ones that with military victory. Now he could demand tribute and honor and things like that seen in play, paying taxes to him. So for sure did have its fellow hate appreciate the call and I'll let you show up to do this really quickly for everyone, 86 634-2000 great time to get it and we still have time to get your calls today. For those that don't have any kind of Bible software right sometimes will do this when reviewing our YouTube chat a because it's not life calls a radio we don't have commercial breaks and things which is, show little bit more about to make this a teachable moment here right girl Bible Gateway.com right Bible Gateway.com now we were just looking at second Samuel sorta typing in second single 2244 right so the NIV you have delivered me from the attacks of the People's you preserve me as the head of nations, people did II did not know now serve me with. So I want to check that out in the new King James so then you just scroll there on the right and your new King James click search. You also delivered me from the striving of my people Is the head of the nation's business. A heathens there either.

That's why asked the specific version. So now ice clicked out on the bottom second Samuel 2244 in all English translations. This is all the ones on the site. There so I'll just slide down to KJV that was also good to me for the strivings of my people. Let us Me to be the head of the heathen. Their ego so it's it's in King James. But here's the problem it says head of the he then and this is what what let our caller to his question.

You would get the idea that that meant head of all nonbelieving nations non-Israelite nations had of all the heathen, but that's not accurate it's plural it's nations so that's the way it should read and that's why the new King James reads properly. There, the MPV which is an update of the King James Is the head of the nation's NASB Me as head of the nation's NET preserve me as a leader of nations new King James again give Me as the head of the nations so that's the way it should be understood all right 866-34-TRUTH back to the phones. This go to Brandon and Washington.

Welcome to the line of fire by Dr. Brown for taking my call. Sure. So my question is, ultimately, I've never the Christian I've never really got too deep into prophecy, especially the Old Testament quiet times when I'm reading the New Testament LC quotations back to the Old Testament others, okay this is what it mean but I've never actually gone to the exercise of testing the prophecy.

So that's what I'm trying to do now and I think yesterday for answering my question about the 65 year prophecy okay on the YouTube chat that was you got it. Yes, yes, I appreciate that. Thank you. My question today is our also about the different part of it. Basically if I jump over to Deuteronomy 818. Rather, what I see in verse 21 is God says that and if you say in your heart. How may we know the word that the Lord has spoken, has not spoken when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord. If the word does not come to pass or come true. That is a word that the Lord is not spoken in the prophet has spoken. Presumptuously, you not be afraid of when I jump over to Isaiah 7 what it says in verse 10. Again, the Lord spoke to after sign of the Lord your God, but if you puke shoulder has had a chance to rest there will finish on the other side of the break Mrs. it's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Looking back to the line of fire Michael Brown letter to we go straight back to Brandon and Washington. So reading from Isaiah 7.

The question is going to be if Isaiah prophesied a particular thing is going to happen. It seems to be imminent. And then it ultimately doesn't happen for 700 something years when we assume then that that generation with a branded him a false prophet with that be the basic question what are question and also the addition that I don't know I don't understand what verse 15 mean either when it rained initially quicker than honey and he knows or knows how to review the evil I don't know what that language means exactly for that as well. I like to understand better right so let's look at the first thing that there are verses that are quoted in the New Testament is fulfilling messianic prophecy that are quite direct the present. Isaiah 53. Speaking of the Messiah's atoning death is quoted in the New Testament, and that is that is a a a messianic prophecy for sure there are other things that say our talk about Israel's history and the point of the New Testament writer is as it happened to Israel. So what happened to the Messiah. So, for example, Hosea 11 one escorted Matthew 215. I out of Egypt I called my son when Jesus says it is a baby was brought into into Egypt and is called out as is the young boy out of Egypt I called my similarly read Hosea 11 one. Center prophecy also about Israel's past history when Israel was a child. God says that I loved him and I called us out of Egypt with them. I called the more he rebelled through some of Israel, God's firstborn son in its infancy went to Egypt, and God called his son out of Egypt and Matthew saying as it happened to Israel, God's firstborn son in its infancy, so also it happened to the Messiah the same way. The attempt to kill baby boys.

When Jesus was born parallels what happens to Moses, so you have lots of things Psalm 41 were David talks about being betrayed by a friend. As it happened to David so what happens to Jesus of certain things or direct prophecies, certain things are analogies or are you would say excuse me a types is the better word for shattering source. It happened to one Moses, Israel, David, so also happens with the Messiah.

Also, the question is where is Isaiah 714 fit in the prophecy of the alma mater of the that the young maiden virgin who is going to give birth to a son and called his name Immanuel. To me the best way to read that is that Matthew was finding it deeper significance in that prophecy that it had some reference to that day.

The Hebrew even seems to speak of immanence is either she's about to conceive and have a child or she is pregnant and have a child and and the child will be named Manuel, which is God with us. So here's a promise even in the midst of the storm within the verses that follow, actually speak of of coming judgment. Also it's it's an interesting thing in. In other words 715 seems to be speaking of probation, but if you keep reading a story about the judgment coming of the king of Assyria.

So if if you dig deep and in Matthew's gospel.

You'll see that he's looking at at Isaiah 7 through 11 the beginning of the ninth chapter he quotes in the fourth chapter and that's a strong messianic passage about about the messianic King to come and then the 11th chapter, the Messiah, being a just a shoot from from the. The stump of Jesse, that seems to be a play on words in in the in the passage that Matthew quotes in the second chapter. So it seems that he's looking at this whole section and seeing in this is what I understand interpretive weight is that he sees promises to the house of David were attacks on the house today because more in context here. Isaiah announced distances speak to Ahab bespeaks a Ahaz excuse me but to the house of David as a whole and chastises them, and there's an attack to try to remove him from the throne and put someone else on the throne, and God's answers to put my men on the throne on the race of my man, who is that what we never really find out there's no real reference to this, Immanuel he does, disappears, and yet we then reading the ninth chapter, the rejoicing because the Messiah has been born what was maybe Hezekiah but he was he was the Messiah.

So something happens with an earthly king. There is great excitement makes expectation that he's not the one they know that the one is yet to come so I can unpack a lot in terms of messianic hermeneutics, but based on your question, I thought that might might be helpful for you to process if you get volume 3 of my series answering Jewish objections to Jesus or just look for I teach on on YouTube as well. We get into like prophecy after prophecy and break down the principles but enters my overall response. Where does that leave you now will appreciate that wider question would be working what you think he worked on but this time I can imagine a Michael Michael know that he was really a believer.

God, sarcastic about asking for the starter. Not wanting to test God. But at the same time you know he's at least from his perspective.

He thinks that he's about to undergo attack and I can imagine he's quite fearful and when he's given the sign located really asked for but go our way, my looking for right that's the best thing I don't understand. What would he have looked for them based on that right right so there's going to be a burst of significance something significant, even supernatural, unexpected, you know, for someone that age so something can happen. The child is can be named Immanuel that on the heels of this within a very few years. This can be a major attack that that comes your way, and of course that's what see, here's what here's the deal.

He did not want to believe God he he wanted to go his own way and basically from what we glean reading between the lines he was going to hire the king of Assyria to help fight on his behalf in order try to bribe whatever and and he's looking because he's out in the checking out locators the water. Here's if we come under attack, and God's actually the one I sent against you is the king of Assyria, so that the coming judgment so you don't want Assyria to help you fight off Israel and Iran. Because I'm gonna send the king of Syrian judgment so he'd be expecting some birth of significance child being named Immanuel, maybe even something supernatural attached to it, which we would understand happen is just not recorded in terms of any depth.

After that, and then he would be expecting fear fearful judgment and shaking and that certainly does happen and then of course the invasion of of of Judah under Hezekiah which is just 11 years after this, so it at all. It does unfold in that regard. The question is has Matthew use it. I believe he sees the greater fulfillment coming through Jesus in the fullness of the miracle that's often how prophecy works hey on the grip of the call, but will continue direct on this. She wanted will go from there.

Let's see more informal South Carolina. Thanks for holding dive right into your questions are brown. I grew up in church that go a lot with prophecy. I've never really understood.

Matthew 24, 21, Mark 13, all our story where the disciples asked Jesus you were the center coming told the same story each one of those and it's very simple to restrict the revelation of the mobile want what you think. It's straightforward, because they ask him three questions basically one of the South and the destruction of the temple was the center coming in the end of the age they thought they were all three the same so there's it's actually the kind of complex, woven together an answer for the destruction of the temple and an answer for that. The final second coming.

So there two things are moving together at Luke 21, separates the most clearly our argument, like his responses were okay yeah report are and you between BP signs and in the end will come. But revelation doesn't always feel about all you different things happening and I've never understood how the heck you know how his responses relate to books revelation yet so I revelation to Nancy which I revelation last night blessed by the late don't ask a lot of questions, but revelation because even after it was 50 years is still a lot of understand that the simple answer marked the real short answer is this different types of literature. One is he's explaining things prophetically.

The other is its apocalyptic literature which describes that the spiritual battle of the hour as a cosmic conflict between good and evil and the culmination of the eternal battle with the correct explosion of the universe and it's it's the nature of the literature so number one revelation has to have relevance for that first generation that heard it.

There had to be something relevant in the midst of persecution and suffering a message from Jesus and some of it must've had some application to Nero the madman that he was in the judgment that came, and then on a certain level it has to have spiritual application that every generation can read it and it has meaning and then, especially the final generation. The last generation then reads it and it has to have special meeting so it's a different type of literature it would be comparing a headline to a sermon right you know, or, or poetry to sports scores there different literary genres and in that setting. Jesus is giving a a straightforward prophetic answer yes it's complex with right of straightforward prophetic answer in the nature of revelation is apocalyptic and and this imagery here another analogy is the difference between someone just given your message. Meet me at 4 PM. It doesn't such a having a dream and you try to interpret what the stream means different types of literature.

Different types of communication. Each then must be read differently. Shortly revelation is if you're reading news headlines and advanced hey thanks for the questions friends visit our website asked Dr. Brown the Lord be sure to set off my emails.
