The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network, but still it. Phone lines are open you got questions.

We got answers time for the line of fire with your host activist on the international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us. Friends, this is Michael Brown. Welcome to the line of fire. You got questions. We got answers any subject under the sun. You want to talk about as long as it relates in some way to subject matter of the line of fire so I can be of help to 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 87884 at the bottom of the hour.

Miss the Q&A I want to give a quick update on what's happening in Israel and the conflict with Hamas and how that is spreading in the region one touch about that very briefly and reminder that my newest book has God failed to finding face when you not even sure God is real is now available paperback e-book audiobooks overview get your books, you can get that now has God failed you either for you if you struggle with unbelief, doubt, connecting with God in your own life, some close to.

Maybe they fallen away. This is an ideal book to read and to give to a friend has God failed to now available all right 866-34-TRUTH we go to the phone. Starting in Toronto, Canada. Sergio, welcome to line of fire locator yes I can. Our markup amount in your yeah go ahead and run our work they can recall not calling throughout your bar. All little bit of the Jewish storehouse from Brent on picking up two different people that are interested are coming out coming out of purchase order. Not healthy another. About the Jewish soldiers make double art, like think of the data. I'm concerned about people like taking your thinking too much of the law may be all even going to the point of saying that we need to do sacrifices again serious man yeah you know there are comments like saying God.Catholic Church was the one that invented the Trinity that it was that it will stall the crown solenoid but the one daughter, Tess of the sea, etc. right so that's right. So they've already gone over the deep end date they are ready or embracing heresy of this is not just curious about the Jewish roots in the face is that usually to the phaser healthy. This is heresy that there embracing so whatever extreme they ring on the one hand, they've now gone to a very dangerous extreme.

On the other side and you really I pray because it's a spirit of deception that's on them and and offer these Gentile believers and think you're going to be super Jews and end up denying Jesus in the process and I would urge them to start by reading Hebrews on their knees over and over.

We are clearly the very first chapter declares the deity of Jesus were clearly lays out the that change in the sacrificial system and priesthood through the Messiah's death and resurrection, and to keep that central and the less they do, they'll end up denying the Lord entirely and ending in the oven.

Some kind of cult what you think are fundamental but basically I remembered you talk about people that made a big there's something that you always offered that the whole code. Jewish temptation wanted to be Jewish or be authentic or or have succumb to Jewishness the whole Jewish temptation is in the sole realm. So the realm of the emotions and those desires that can.

We can think her spirits with really not it will fascinate stimulate, complicate, suffocate, so be on your guard so the antidote to that is to really worship Yeshua Jesus and recognized his finished work on the cross. That's the antidote to it. That's why recommend that you urge them to review roots not with commentaries, not with other explanations from the slightest Internet teacher to get along with God, get on their knees with Saul and got on his knees and Ezra got on his knees and Paul got on his knees because someone will get on their knees because Jews pray standing in all that you want to come to break through that nonsense is alone and read through Hebrews several times over and over. Look at how Jesus is exalted as God the son is God right there in the first chapter. Look at how he central everything.

Look at how the changes of come with sacrifice and priesthood because of him being a great high priest and taken her place on the cross, etc. and display the gobble awaken them if they start pushing this direction. I just step back and pray because it's it's the Holy Spirit that is open their eyes and whatever they're reacting to, because there's so much factual evidence that completely smashes their position with them we can come to. It is with some preconceived bad ideas, but pray for them. Sergio and then really encourage them, challenge them with it. It's just will just read through Hebrews with no commentary. I just read through it several times together, get on our knees before God and see God. We just want your truth. I just read through it several times and see if the Holy Spirit penetrates and then if they can't say Jesus I praise you I love you I worship you I door you again.

They have that's just a further proof. They stepped over into into heresy by the Lord give you wisdom. May the Lord bring them back a thank you thank you for the call center 866-34-TRUTH yet you see it happen all the time you go from the extreme of replacement theology in the church.

That's completely separate itself from Jewish roots and and barely resembles New Testament church you go from there into extreme Hebrews heresy. It's the pendulum swings in and people still getting grounded in the fundamentals of Scripture to go from one extreme to the other of let's go to bar Rook and Bushnell, Florida. Welcome to the line of fire: Blech. You are greatly appreciate regard. You quick question week, and on throughout theology and have any scriptural foundation is suited to house theology is this is only referred to looks at passages in the Old Testament that that speak about Joseph prime Israel so that the northern kingdom, and the kingdom of Judah. You know, the two sticks that are brought together in the book of Ezekiel and things like that dissent is for the for the benefit of those unfamiliar with it, and the argument is that when the Bible talks about Israel in the Old Testament, and then it begins to tell, but Israel's is a family of nations and things like that that that it actually represents all Gentile believers worldwide, and that Julie represents the Jewish people. So it's the union of Gentile believers in Jesus with the Jewish people coming together as one and and that's that's what will happen. That's what this anti-mystery is etc. of course there is zero choose for that scripturally and that the easiest way to refute it.

It is, is to see how the prophets constantly use Israel speak about Judah as well. I noted that will go sees me writing my commentary. Jeremiah and then greetings were Ezekiel of a few weeks ago I noticed the same thing that even though northern Israel has a ready been exiled goblet often referred to Judah as Israel because it was the set that was the name of the whole nation and constant Ezekiel to speak about Israel Israel Israel were stuck about the southern kingdom of Judah, so one summit that the two sticks coming together his time at the northern kingdom of Israel, which is Israelites in the southern kingdom of Judah and some other reunification see about how do we know how to do that now because everyone scattered lettuce for God to figure out you know that's for God to know who's who at the idea that this that this speaks actually of Gentile believers or that all Gentile believers are actually descendents of the that the 10 tribes of northern Israel. I mean that's complete nonsense is without any historical foundation any scriptural foundation in fact, God makes a big deal about the Gentiles. The gleam joining in with the people of Israel.

That's the other thing like what will.

Who are the people then the nations who were added to Israel, like Isaiah 19 where you have Israel and then you have Egypt and you have a Syria all worshiping God together according to the two house theology Syria in each of the believers. They are actually Israel themselves.

So it it it it breaks down what it does is it takes a couple of verses here and there about no prophecies to Jacob or things like that about his offspring or the future generations being okay kingdom of nations and things which is the sum of the growth of Israel little family to a nation of millions of people that's always talking about you know you have a multitude of people who are Gentile. They are community are people teach and so my question is the so we know to speak in relation to the tribes but result in Ephesians 2 1450 talks about the one number you will inject becoming one. So my question is how did that come about people better. Now you got the question got religion theology than the other side is not the church. Ephraim and the day yesterday that the art Ephraim, has Gentiles, but they are settled yet. So the member number one it's a very very small group and movement. The site you are aware of people and and no others in it can give an inflated idea, but it's it's a tiny tiny minority in the body that if they said hey we don't actually sink where fry them. We just think that prophetically the same way God dealt with Israel when he said you're not my people.

You are my people. Paul uses that an analogy in Romans.

Note that Gentiles are not a people value my people, that all we see is a spiritual metaphor, and it's homiletical okay that is no big deal. I may meet. We all can find spiritual analogies and metaphors, but God is bringing Jew and Gentile together in Jesus is one new being one new humanity and making a statement to the world as as he does that, whether we fully understand it enough and for it's when you have Christians of genuine Christians, but hold replacement theology, and then you have Gentile Christians who are genuine Christians but somehow think that there actually descendents about fry them in a meeting on northern Israel. Okay, it's it's unfortunate the. The errors are there but God is doing what he's doing. Despite that, the more understanding we have, the better will be able to live this out and show the world what it means to be one Messiah without losing identity.

I'm still a man. My wife Nancy still a woman is no male and female in Jesus. Just like there's no Jew and Gentile. The distinctions remain, but were equal system. The class system hi thanks for the question will be right back in the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks friends joining us on the line of fire, 866 truth if you don't follow us in social media world over the place with constant updates, links, latest articles, latest videos, all kinds of fun stuff edifying stuff challenging stuff educational stuff so Facebook it's asked her to Brown a skate your brown YouTube the same thing a skate your graphic you can be watching us live those watching live on Facebook you to discuss a personal wave there on Instagram it's DR Michael Brown and on Twitter DR Michael L. Brown so connect with us unique content on all that different platforms all right out we go over to Anthony that we don't New York City. It was a question about the book of Revelation, but may be he was like taken by UFOs something before we could get to him. Okay, I can joke a little bit here and there. Yeah, let's go to Secaucus, New Jersey. John, welcome to light a fire hydrant methods a chemical welcome. I have a quick question.

I get a little confused on the help it, it is something that I don't prepare it was the Angels and so on and but it is something that people are there now or you know when or is it something after, when everything done and I get the computer looks so fire there a few different words that are used to describe things, hence the question. So the general world word for the netherworld, the under the grave, the netherworld, the place of the dead to show all in and in in the Old Testament or Hades in the New Testament, and neither of them speak specifically of hell sometimes older translations they be translated withheld within their there really speaking of the netherworld and would just kinda be the generic place to which everybody goes at death not speaking of of not specifically of of heaven, or of hell or of tormentor, a blessing, but rather just the place of the dead, then there is Gahanna which is used in the New Testament which which is that the place of hell fire. Jesus was about the fire of Gahanna and that is a place of future judgment so we understand based on Luke 16 that the moment someone dies that is lost and separated from God. They do go to a place of separation that their spirit is waiting in place of separation, which is a eight and negative bad setting, but they await the final resurrection and judgment, in which case they stand before God and if they're guilty they are. They are cast into hell, which can be described as the lake of fire which is obvious him metaphor means these are metaphorical terms that are being used in or to speak of that of the terrible judgment to come, so there would be people quote in hell now, but the truth of better terminology would be that there in the netherworld waiting the final judgment, at which point they will be cast into the fire of hell. Not the rich man in the commitment letter quite rapidly.

Luke 16 right so that's that's painting the picture for you but right at death. There's a separation within the final judgment is still to come and run a final judgment comes. Then that's it forever, that the righteous with the Lord forever and the wicked. Some would say totally destroyed of the sea go into eternal punishment.

You know the different different versus put different ways, so there's no immediate but then the final dreadful judgment is still to come. In prayer one more question, I know I heard another troop herded the Jewish people don't believe in hell is a true and where do they believe they do go right so number one. Judaism does not put as much of an emphasis on the afterworld as Christianity does it does it does recognize that there's a famous statement in the Mishnah that that this world is the vestibule to the world to come.

So this collect the dressing room here getting ready for the world to come, and there is that there is recognition of future resurrection, secular Jews, liberal Jews, believe this world is that you die, you die, the religious Jews who do believe there is a world to come. Some might say based on on some Caribbean traditions that for the absolutely most rich of the wicked people like a Hitler that they will suffer forever, but the normal view is that you will suffer in the world to come up to 11 months and kind of it's a similar concept to Catholic purgatory, but not identical, and during that time you will further pay for sins committed in this world for the be purified after which you you going to the world to come. A place of a blessing in the presence of God forever, but obviously I can find the concept talk freely in Scripture that there is some purging thing you go through after which you can graduate into God's eternal heaven so obviously are. I reject that Scripture hey John, thank you for the calls I appreciated whatever you believe. Please take very seriously by seminary, believe whatever nuances distinct as you believe about future punishment.

Please feel the weight of this, the people lost without Jesus. All right, let's go to see Grove, North Carolina Todd, welcome to light a fire like Dr. Brown question is coming from Job to provide pain late responding to a bill data shoe hi struck me, strange, and the second half of first 17 were Job says that he is repulsive to the children of his body in a strictly strange because his children were killed in chapter 1, called to get clarification about that yet. It's a it is a question that commentators struggle with and that I had. I notice myself until I was writing my commentary on it in the book of Job, some under share with you exactly how I explained it in my commentary because the question is right if he said hey I am so afflicted and so disfigured of lost everything. I'm so reproachful that that's in my own kids are turning octave all his own kids were killed so how do we explain. I'm just going to scroll down to where I deal with this in my commentary stick a second to do that, but how many times did you read that before you notice that I read it several times. They just happened this last time around his popcorn about daily moderate right now within the book of Job is a lot read that chapter, probably about three or four days ago yeah yeah the same but I'm not read it. Job countless times and exams correctly), the County Counsel, here's what here's what I wrote a since all his children were okay so these low symptoms own children, which in the Septuagint is rendered as the sons of my concubines. Maybe these were others of since those children were dead.

However, scholars have speculated on the significance of his words, some suggesting that Job speaks of siblings. The children of the women which he too was conceived. Others think of children he raised as if his own while still others, in particular critical scholars suggest that the apparent discrepancy between the prologue in which children killed in this verse demonstrates that the pros prologue and the poetic chapters were originally unrelated with the final editor of Job have missed something significant and Delta poetic chapters assume the dreadful realities of the first two chapters would be better to follow one major scholar, and others who suggest that Job is simply using a stereo typical list of alienated people without being overly concerned with harmonization of the details so he speaking generic like every body every body even you know and and just kinda go through the list of of the of people who who have rejected him or repulsed by him and and going through the listed speedo made my own kids and so it's it's not exactly accurate is to spoken in the midst of of grief, pain and agony of otherwise you may have come up with one of the ideas that it's these timeout siblings. You know the world, meaning the same womb that I was an is posits possible possible explanation but just not as likely it either way it's it's it's a question we could be just in the midst of his own grapes on kids that exists is that speaking exactly more generically are those that you know are family or whatever.

On some level. Interesting question for sure. Hey thank you Todd. As always for your your question 86634 let's go to Caleb in Canton, Ohio. Welcome to the line of fire. Thank you for having me Dr. Brown you welcome so I start weird but I was born with an autoimmune disorder. I am 23 years old. I live in currently with my parents some mom trying to get my drivers license and trying to get my life in order and one of the things that the autoimmune disorder does basically makes it very difficult to discern reality and it has made it so that really hard to hear God be God you you you can't discern anything and my biggest fear is hell because I'm in so much pain I just I just can't think of the pain going on forever and it scares me every every any large quantity of anything I look at the first thing I think of it, hell would I want a beach I see every little grain of sand along the beach. I think of a trillion years of bird of the lake of fire is this so overwhelming to me and I and I don't want to compromise on biblical doctrine is much as I want it would.

They will all know how there is no you know or love is obviously I know that not true. But how can I get Kim's sister. I did stay right here speak to this and decided to hang in there and don't go anywhere. Caleb and help us stay right here folks, just read a prayer for Caleb during a break you right thing for the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown as friends join us on fire. Michael Brown here in six perches you got questions, we've got answers so one go to Caleb in Canton, Ohio, Caleb, I I can't relate personally to your situation.

I've never been physically challenged, disabled in this way over period of time. Never had to relate to that any sickness I had was short never had to relate to all the all the other challenges but it but I do know God and I do know what his word says so Caleb, why would you think that God would send you to hell when you have truly look to Jesus to save you. When you believe that that he's the son of God, that he died for your sins and rose from the dead, you recognize your own sin and need for a Savior. Why would he send you to hell will torment could be quite hard to manage. A lot of times you know I've been hospitalized multiple times like this, put on all kinds of countless medication fusions all over the country doctor to doctor and you know to be frank, I wanted to end it, but I get I get scared because I don't know where go if I ended so the matter how hard it gets to try to just keep going because I get I get so scared, so, so another words, it's the fear of suicide that makes you think of hell. Otherwise, you your did you believe that there is any reason, let's say that you were to die of natural causes in your sleep. Why would God or compassionate, loving father who cares for us more than we could ever imagine.

Says in Psalms, he knows our frame. He knows that we just dust will and is a father's compassion. The students of the Lord is compassion.

Those who fear him. If you've put your trust in Jesus to save you. Why would God send you to hell.

All I think part of it to suicide thing. I was let's put aside, let's put that aside for the moment. Even their God understands the torment that you're going through the pain you're going through, but even putting that aside some time thinking about suicide.

Why would God send you to hell because I am the center right right the raw centers have you have you truly asked Jesus to save you and forgiving you forgive you, until God confess your sin, you recognize your guilt. You make no excuses and you've asked for forgiveness to the cross.

Have you done that yes right so is God trustworthy or not trustworthy and did Jesus come to seek and save the lost or were not that seeking to seek and save right right you think that you're better than God right, what would would you damn someone to hell because they have a lifelong disease. That's not their own fault and that they want to please God if if you will gobbled you.

Would you damn that person to hell forever. I don't I don't know I'm not God rightly so, then I bet you soon I better than God right right right so the first thing that I would encourage you to do is to just focus on what you know that forget forget you meaning how you doing are you doing anything for God you praying I read in the Bible you hearing his voice and doing think about that. Just put all your emphasis if it's just listening to worship music if it's just meditating on the same verse. Jesus Jesus Jesus died for me. Jesus in his blood for me. Jesus just keep majoring on the majors and is always trying to discern just read passages about the love of God, the goodness of God until they penetrate you so obviously keep crying out for healing miracle or you know for if you can't feel you can't take him not to take you home included hard for it. It's hard. I tried to reconcile a loving God with eternal torment like II can I have to because that's what the Bible teaches.

It's a hard pill for me to swallow and I don't want to compromise on that you don't you know it's not it's not something you need to be focusing on its it's not what you're nowhere does New Testament say make sure you meditate a lot on hell.

It's a warning for rebels. It's a warning for willful sinners. It's a warning to say don't play games is a penalty, but freedom levers for believers, we should be thanking God for freedom, salvation, deliverance so Caleb I want to encourage you. We often don't see answers in this world that will see in the world to come. You even force field install die for a healthy eventually all die.

So, forever and ever and ever. We experience the goodness and grace of God and as much is you endure suffering that most of us could never imagine in an 80 or 90 years enduring and 23 years of I can't speak to that person evidence to say that God will manifest his goodness in you forever and that what he wants you to know now is that he did. He loves you, rather than condemning with you, condemn you, he's with you and your pain in your suffering. Read through Hebrews 2 and Hebrews 4 read through Psalm 103 take those in Psalm 103 Hebrews 2 Hebrews 4 and keep going through them and asking God to make these things real to you until your whole being resonates with the fact that Jesus loves me as I am right here and now even there's almost nothing I can do from he loves me.

He's for me is not against me read through Romans eight especially versus 26 to the end of the chapter.

Romans 826 did into chapter let that flood your heart and mind to this piece he wants to give you peace and and we keep crying out for healing in the midst of it so folks pray for Caleb thank you for calling being so honest but you focus on Jesus not on hell put focus on God's love, not your shortcomings, failings and and I believe is you begin to see change and growth in your own heart. May the Lord work a miracle on your behalf.

Thank you, thank you for calling 866-34-TRUTH.

Hey, this is an abstract stuff some events real challenging times. You will not what I wrote has God failed to discover sitting over here when I wrote it. Of I wrote. It was people like Caleb in my nose.

I I wrote it for people that have really been through hard times and some of lost their faith along the way of and I said, but is beginning about the no cheap answers, no cheap answers what what good is a cheap answer God. God's not put off by her pain bar questions by doubts right before go back to the phone so Israel announced last night. Major press announcements that they're launching a ground attack into into Gaza and reading all over that that may have been basically ruse if it did have tanks and things but instead of their own troops that basically was a way to draw Hamas operatives out and to get them defending key places where there were tunnels and things like that and then as a result of that Israel sent in bombers and devastate a lot of the tunnels and a lot of their key munitions places, and that this Hamas before defending the casualty numbers out to the so human beings think they're fighting for. For God and doing the right thing tragically in the wrong side you mourn their loss as well. But you know with that that violence within Israel, Jews and Arabs fighting each other the previous of the side-by-side. It's it's a very dangerous volatile time now some rockets coming in from from Lebanon and Syria so because the law sponsored by Ron it's it's a volatile time and Colossus looked at as the protector of Jerusalem by many the Palestinian people now so we need the wisdom of God in causing God's involvement to turn hearts and to bring about some type of temporary solution list. There's much more bloodshed. All right, let us go to a CJ in Boise, Idaho. Welcome to the line of fire or electrical you welcome so I have a question about, I am also a Aldrich very swollen up going all out but my main area of interest is been the Old Testament, and specifically my salvation story is an awful lot to do with the Moses story, so I've always had a heart for Moses and I recently did a debate on the question did Moses suggest and I just drag a procedure to be very blunt with vitamin. If you see if you were to search did Moses exist debate. There is one and only one debate that shows up in the file and I find that to be very troubling because Moses is second only to Jesus. It seems in historical foundation for our faith in being the one who received for revelation and spoke to God face-to-face all these other things and yet it almost seems like a lot of the church has just freely acknowledge that Moses either didn't exist or we don't have any way to prove it wonderingly. Why do you think that is why like why we relegated Moses to the King Arthur realm of historicity right right your average Christian just knows he existed like he knows David exist to resolve existing appalling systems never question the need to think about it for a split second and even the critical scholars that debated this over the centuries generally did not deny Moses existence. They denied whether he wrote the Pentateuch, as we have it so you know you could read critical scholars, did Moses write this or did Moses write that so they too assumed that there was a historical figure named Moses they just question whether he is the author of the tour all or all of it as as was claimed, so that the challenges this is not been a major point that we been challenged on your prove that Moses existed. The other thing is thoughts. I will agree that the church is generally put them in the King Arthur realm. They just all assume he's a historical figure, the other should be.

How would one prove his existence. When will we have almost no archaeological data from the town that would point to him specifically by name, but rather we have other evidence about the tribes of Israel as an after Staley we have we have a constant witness ancient Jewish literature makes reference to Mrs. to the question would be what would be be looking for as proof of his historicity. We come back in question. Is there here it's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown I CJ just back too quickly, in your view. Aside from the consistent testimony of generations of Israelites Judeans all assuming understanding foundational role played by by Moses of what, in your view, is the strongest evidence of of his historicity will request that I think there is a couple things that I personally like you and a focus primarily on either the criterion of authenticity of the church used for people like you, or more typically, some of these traditions, like for example I would argue that the Passover is an evidence for Moses because the Passover is a solemn and one could argue really non-celebratory holiday that at least in its original provision was somewhat miserable and yet people followed it anyway because they had a firmly held belief that this event had occurred by. It seems to me like you have you Christmas directly up to questions with Christmas. What are you celebrating and when did it start, but with Passover. Those are actually one question you're celebrating the first time that you got Passover right being finite. So I find that to be really good evidence.

I also would argue from a legitimate priesthood God, where did the Levites get there priesthood right right and also yes I suggest you jump in, so I appreciate all that and I'm glad you given it is given a thought and keep working on it and one thing the when it's apologetic. She always find areas that haven't been emphasized as much for having been tackled as much and then you could really specialize in those. My point was a lot of this is internal logic of a lot. It's it's unlikely that we going to find something in the in the sands of Israel that mentions Moses by name with has actually written documents that are that old and they've been preserved in that climate, etc. it is unlikely and it's unlikely in in in Egyptian historiography that they will mention defeats or people by name in a negative context that make them look bad even there be an unlikely look but if you've not yet read a book I've recommended few times for this week. Kenneth a kitchens book on the reliability of the Old Testament. He's a top Egyptologist, Kenneth, a kitchen on the reliability of the Old Testament is worth looking at and then James K Hofmeyr, a leading Egyptologist, also an evangelical Christian, James K, Hofmeyr, on the evidence for the Exodus and related books. These are good sources. If you haven't used pate CJ thank you for the call I appreciated. I wish I had more time to talk with you all right. Let's go to our friend Eddie in Madison, Connecticut. Welcome to the modifier. Dr. Brown walked all good man. Thank you.

The Bible actually happened. One of the guys in our study. Dr. Brown family member young guy got married 22 years old married Christian family, married for six months and the wife just walked out the monitor.

The papers you later.

So now what's the response that young 22-year-old.

Postal I love women reported you found that I Let you die like that was and I don't know the answer but it what I'm reading here if you do remarry in trouble because you thought. I like I like go right but I don't know what I do not explain it but it think like a boat. People cannot say how very bad girl walked out on me now.I'm like oh, right. So I like your first thing is okay buddy sent into the world. There are 20 people in their 20s were single and and you can live in a sex for little while, so that's calm down it's traumatic is terrible is devastating, but is not in the world, there plenty of people he loved Jesus that are single in their 20s and 30s that haven't met the right person you know that, for whatever reason, so focus on first. Jesus is enough. Jesus is enough start there. That's the first thing the second thing is is not over with this gal God can bring you to repentance, she can go back may be there changes God wants to bring in the guy now. The deal is that if she does, getting in a relationship with someone else and and then in that case is is the one committing adultery that I believe based on what Jesus said in Matthew five and Matthew 19 that she can that he can remarry that she had broken the covenant there and and Paul even says in first Corinthians 7 if and if merger a believer there see you both simply was you get saved in the middle and stay with you, they they they leave that that your outbound and you'd be free to remarry. So I will, I would. I would look at that carefully in terms of understanding what Scripture says hotel had first start to panic you live without sex is for your teen years and and and before you married this gal right you can live without sex. I little while after that that intimate companionship because God is more than enough like I idle people are the single entire Christian lives is never met the person to marry that Davidson also know others that were divorced many many years ago.

Seems kind of scenario they were in notes the person walked out on them and they said about my can't remarry, and God was more than enough for them. The rest of the laws. But in his case, I would believe that she's either going to turn back and repentance or that her leaving him will ultimately open the door for him to remarry. If she doesn't turn back and when I take advantage of now is as a single person to rest. To pray for got to the work amazingly deeply in his own life and and to pray for her and then see if God restores that if if not, then I believe there could be scriptural grounds for him to move on, but don't all worked up over this is the big thing delicate all worked up. That's that's not God.

It's either a flesh or the devil.

And may the Lord's grace with a medical miracle this relationship a thank you for the call of let us go to DJ in Long Beach California.

Welcome to light a fire. On a dark brown doing well thank you good. Question four what should be punished and that is what you think will integrate with you or even David Wilkerson. What you think the message would be to the body of Christ today.

Yeah, having known them well), and È in the last five years of his life and preach for David Wilkerson dozens and dozens of times, I would say undo lend much better than I knew David, but knowing them well enough response to this. I think their message would be exactly what it had been during their lifetimes, except on steroids except all the more urgent all the more broken I believe David Wilkerson would be warning about judgment more loudly and clearly that he ever had that Linda Ravenhill would be exposing the superficiality and shallowness of the church and and calling for for repentance and revival like never before. So I believe their messages would be what we heard over the decades, but intensified because of the urgent crisis in which we find ourselves of you know, it's almost like there's someone, passed out on on the couch.

There's a fire in the house and there could other almost unconsciously try to wake him up 12 when you hear the fire you turn away, all the more urgently and that's that's right would see things now. In fact, I have a book coming out in October called revival or we die right right quote both of them a number of times because of the intensity and focus of the message and sing it. We need to hear that more now than that. Now more than ever I think you are your recently discovered those guys probably about a year ago and an amount no judgment a lot of ministers, but it's hard for me to even listen to light mainstream Christian preaching.

They because are described superficiality orders almost time for game and you now have a better in having better, have better you have the best life you can never have been so all smiles and prosperity in knowing said no. I wrote into the American gospel enterprise and 89. That's the book God used to connect Linda Ravenhill and and he wrote the forward to that. And back then that's 89 Ito I'm writing with urgency and looking past the superficiality of of our church culture. There is a saying don't know who said it accorded in the book. What began as a movement in Jerusalem became a philosophy in Greece, a monument in Rome.

A culture in Europe and enterprise in America and if if the book how saved are we to think that was the first book by the table. Wilkerson wrote and that was 1990 and joined our hearts deeply together in in that message have have you heard his message on anguish that's on YouTube year brings me to clear the younger Sacco is exactly and and that's that's the burden that we have to carry on this this thing with both of them is they were men of great faith. David Wilkerson really over the years became a man of real compassion and without a real message of the love of God in the grace of God, for hurting and dying world and limit Ravenhill was intimate with Jesus and and his he was so brokenhearted because he wanted the church to be ready and worthy of the Lord, but his great prayers brought great fruit. I believe it was his decades of prayer that help birth the browser revival were served from from 96 to 2000, and the first missions movement that bears fruit around the world. The first time Scripture explained right teen challenge driving around the world so their legacy continues. Thank you for the question friends. It's not over for America, but it's close.
