The Truth about “Missionaries Targeting” Ultra-Orthodox Jews

The following program is recorded content created by the Truth Network for the light a fire with your host scholar and cultural commentator Dr. Michael Brown your voice for more spiritual clarity 866-34-TRUTH to get him a lot of water and now there's your host Dr. Michael Brown absolutely delighted to be 866-3487 84. That's 866-34-TRUTH any Jewish related question of any kind, you may be a Jewish listener, you differ with me about Jesus being the Messiah of Israel. You may be a Christian with questions about Judaism or Jewish teaching may be wondering about modern Israel today 866-34-TRUTH as long as it's Jewish related. You could have a Hebrew question for me it works on thoroughly Jewish Thursday got a few news items I want to cover with you but the main focus of memoir one of the start and things I want to address today have to do with a big controversy.

It is been a lot of news about this in recent weeks, and I actually know a lot of the details of what's going on ultra-Orthodox Jews or the most religious and their communities are the most closed it's for a couple of reasons. One is because they live among themselves.

They have their schools. They have their places of business and their very very deeply communal. So it's very natural for their communities to be insular. Also they want to keep out the pollution of the outside world.

They want to keep away those values that they differ with so your average ultra-Orthodox home would not have a television. For example, the most ultra-Orthodox, the strictest of the communities. What you'll see with them is that they they will have Internet access. They may have cell phones but not smart phones, and the most most religious among them in order to to keep out that the influences they don't want will on their on their cell phones only have certain area codes that they will respond to certain numbers that there will respond to another was if it's if it's a number not used or could be from outside the community and look, Jacob, James tells us in the first chapter that true religion distresses followers of Yeshua the true religion is to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. Traditional Jews are doing that in a way that may seek specific stream to others but seems very much a way of life for them. So how do you reach them with the good news of the Messiah. Many of them. All they know about Jesus was that he was a bad guy.

He was a Jew who went apostate. He was an idol worshiper and he led many in Israel astray. And, and he's the God of the Catholic Church and he's the one responsible for some extra suffering from from church agent from the fourth century on a right to the Holocaust. So how can you reach these very devoted very sincere people and people who are falling like everyone else in the. The Lord how can you reach them with the good news of the Messiah. What if you are religious do your part of the community and somehow your eyes are open your reading the Scripture your chance encounter with a Christian something happens, your your eyes are open, you now believe if you just come out publicly and declare it.

Rather, the community, there might even be physical violence but you're out of the community if if they're unable to persuade you back then your roster sought Steve. You basically lost everything was family, friends, livelihood, drought your marked okay and in your family say you're dead, you don't even exist so that's one very great difficulty. What if you leave the community and and now you're outside the community, but you still want to reach back in what you do. How do you do it. So these are honest questions to ask.

There are godly ways to do it. Their ungodly ways to do it.

There are ways that we would say are kosher in ways that we would say are not kosher, so there is that the the first language of ultra-Orthodox Jews is Yiddish. They may speak Russian. They may speak Ukrainian they may speaks of the else they may speak English may speak Hebrew, but that the home language that they grow up with. This is Yiddish it's it's similar to German but has massive Jewish vocabulary, Hebrew vocabulary, other things and it modifications but it's so similar to German so they grow up with that so many years ago the New Testament was translated into Yiddish but 80 years ago for religious Jews that my dad Yiddish was his first language, even though he grew up in a secular Jew's home and he wasn't even bar mitzvahed. He grew up speaking it is, think he spoke English until he was like five years old or something so Yiddish was is his first language. When I took it for little while, and in college he speak to menu to Charlotte, just had so little. I wasn't getting so even for Jews.

This is come from us certain European or Eastern European background Yiddish may have been their native language if they want religious so this was translated many many years ago for Jews, religious Jews. Jews, for whom Yiddish was the first language. The recover the faith of these translations were made for them or for outreach to the so someone today Yiddish is his first language.

He's also translated and not same with his religious Jew or not. I'm not saying where he lives, what country he lives in not not divulging that and he felt he needed to update and improve the translation began doing it and then wanted to get the message out to to ultra-Orthodox Jews again whether he himself comes from a background or is just his first language, or just something he was fluent in over the years, or where he lives outside the United States River not disclosing any of that.

But you talk to some some of us involved in Jewish ministry knew about me answering Jewish objections to Jesus about others. His chosen people and Jews for Jesus different ones and said hey I'm gonna send these out to the religious Jewish community and want to have numbers that people can call if they have questions great, count me in this is what I ministry does were happy to answer Jewish questions about Yeshua and chosen people, Jews for Jesus. They said sure that our numbers and they were they were sent out that notice and I get every single day at my home junk mail and at my office junk mail. Do you get junk mail will you do it you toss it. Sometimes I gotten little books or booklets or coupons or other things instantly more substantial sometimes I get catalogs may be ordered from a place once or Nancy order for a place there several hundred pages beautiful color catalogs that no interest in it. Positive's interest rate so that happens right.

And if it's an address that's addresses are out there. Sent addresses so that's what this individual did nothing. I'm telling you is is a male. Okay so that's that's cut us down. So what about 3 1/2 billion people to choose from, and anyway in a little bit smaller pool. I'm sure so this is sparked from man in this controversy, but it's it's just a mailing. It's a way to reach people if they wait wait wait. The problem is that this guy could return addresses of synagogues to make the people think their return from synagogues actually that's not entirely accurate. He didn't want to put his own address obvious reasons.

He knew the addresses of some synagogues, but he didn't write down so so he changed it anyway you change that is realistic, it can seem deceitful, but he didn't put synagogues such and such and then the address which would give you the impression came from Seneca uses system so you recognize and address but he just needed the return address. That's what he did and then push it back, that there went but I believe he's remedy that with with another address, but the point of the matter is was trying to be deceitful, as if it came from synagogues. That was the case then he would put it there but in point of fact, yet it could look deceitful so that's that is intent, but this is created a firestorm of controversy.

My question, and if your Jewish person listening but my question is what's wrong with doing that right that the address thing. I convinced him, but that that was not his intent. Anyways, he's fix that he did not write that the synagogue name. He was not trying to be deceitful with okay but what's wrong with freely mailing something out.

This does nothing deceitful about it it's it's the New Testament in Yiddish.

You know that the second you open it and know it's it's it's not as God pages of of Talmud study and it or pages of study of of one of the law codes the Mishnah torsional, roof or or esoteric writings from the Kabbalah or Tonya which is Lubavitcher Casitas. It's it's is not that ended in the middle of it. A few pages of the New Testament mixed in is not that it's it's the news you open it.

I was sent a copy to you open it above though I did not actively participate in the mailings. I did not fund this. I was my my role was yeah put put our ministry number and some salsa call that that's fine. But here's the point and another to read you some of the response at initial a long article in times of his of Israel seeking converts Christian missionaries pitched Yiddish Bibles to New York ultra-Orthodox missionary group with his group is a group maybe, maybe not.

Mr. group is revamping New Testament Yiddish for the first time in 80 years but her broader outreach effort aimed at the most insular Jewish communities in the US the MS affair article. It's affair article and it presents both sides and let's each side speak that the messianic Jews.

The so-called missionaries encounter missionaries, the rabbis let's see side speak, but might my question for you is what's wrong with doing this what's unethical this. It was very upsetting. Hey, a Muslim could say I want every American to get up wrong and River have an address. I'm in a send out a cut across and send out a copy of the strong, and we got funding to do it you know it is very inexpensive. Paperback bomb offended by getting the Quran in the mail, throw it out. I may be offended by just getting junk mail I will like it.

I like every day opening that the mailbox and there is junk mail account, but I do know how to not get junk mail.

If you have an address you get junk mail. Please someone tell me what is ethically wrong with doing and visited a loving expression who might otherwise never sign will talk more about this article become back on straight through call before truth to light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get on the line of fire by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Keep smiling ear to hear Thursday you guys got this down perfectly.

I'm from New York I think it might be your assurance of guys is generic guys male and female in the plural, but yet in any case, just that we cut right to that call me fanatic will stop and straight into the thoroughly Jewish Thursday music nicely done a 663487884.

Going straight to the phones and we start with Brian and Leander Texas.

Welcome to the modifier. Dr. Brown. I welcome your body if you could speak up a little bit that be great okay my question is also in Galatians 37 Michigan Audi understanding you have a are children of Abraham son of prosperity and curses that were given by Moses in Deuteronomy 27, 28, a plot were under better now but for some preachers going to that and really put on by prosperity message out about one or does it apply to us and as Gentiles to jump out for birdie to Christ again and it not the popular people who are Jews or messianic Jews that made my question clear perfectly clear number one you are a spiritual child of Abraham is a Gentile follower of Jesus, I am a natural and spiritual child of Abraham as a Jew and as a follower of Jesus, but we are equal shares equal in the Messiah. They'll probably by blood. There is of his Inter-American some point for me to be a white shoe right is as Jews with the Middle Eastern people but that's the first thing so we are all children of Abraham by faith within the Jewish people, people of Israel also natural children. Some of them are not spiritual children because Napoli was that the first thing. Second thing, no, you cannot take the blessings and the curses and now just apply them to us today as children of Abraham by faith because that is the later Sinai covenant and the purpose of the Sinai covenant was to bring us to the Messiah. That's why Paul says later in the chapter that the law which comes 430 years after the promise cannot unknow the promise.

So no, you cannot say because were children of Abraham. Therefore, we are entitled to the same riches he had, or to the national promise of prosperity that was given to Israel unless you want to be under the curses also wears Galatians tells us in this verse in chapter that Messiah became a curse for us. He took the curses of the law on himself so that we could be free. This is one of the errors of the modern prosperity gospel. This is the right argument that a prosperity preacher might have.

This is the right argument that if we so generously we reap generously. That's a biblical principle that if we honor the Lord with the firstfruits of our lives of our increase that God blesses that the blessing to come in many different ways or that if we are diligent and work hard you will do better than someone who is lazy and negligent. These are all biblical principles and many of them are related both the reiterated in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. But the idea that Jesus died to make us rich or or that the new covenant blessing is more money than the people of Israel had.

That is a carnal destructive message that I wholeheartedly opposed silt. There are many truths about provision and blessing and abundance that we can be a blessing to others in the old and New Testament, we may often have to go without sacrifice, and suffer for the sake of the gospel. So be it. Have treasure in heaven. But the idea that we can just apply because were children of Abraham, the blessings of the curses is wrong because again that specifically the Sinai covenant specific period of time. Specific purposes.

Hey, thank you for the question.

Much appreciated its go to Alex in Greenville, South Carolina. Welcome to the line of fire. Taking my call and thank you for everything you and Debbie did not come to abolish the law, but to LA and I was wondering how he healed a tax collector on but he think how I feel after The leper any the first act of the line just like a leopard to go and some Dr. DiPrete found public wondering about that.

Yeah, the fact is that we can absolutely say that while Jesus had broken some of the developing Jewish traditions and violated some of the Jewish customs that he never violated God's written word is written to raw if he had been a law breaker that he couldn't be the Messiah.

So it's it's a great question. The fact is that as the Messiah and son of God.

He had power to do what ordinary human beings didn't do. There was no provision in the law for the miraculous healing of leprosy. The Hebert's are not a does not refer to leprosy as we know it today which is Hansen's disease, but to some other severe skin disorder and it was disfiguring and it did render the person unclean. So the Torah law had to do with ordinary circumstances with a human being touching a leper becoming unclean through it and then the procedure of getting cleansed and with the leper would go through etc. in this case is the son of God is not breaking that law. He's just doing something that the law didn't specifically talk about, namely, bringing supernatural healing instantaneous to someone who's leper in that case, the law is not specifically apply except because you once were, leper, and you no longer are going to show yourself to the priest because the ceremony to go through so that's the answer to it and and that's why generally speaking, this is not a major objection that Jews would raise all while he did this to the nova say while he violated the Sabbath or his followers didn't keep the law were Christians don't keep the law, things like that try to raise those arguments, but this was a great question but the answer is that what he did. The law did not specifically address it table law did not what I eat when I'm at about that right right in other words, it's not like he stole or committed idolatry or committed adultery or bore false witness, or when out and and built a little hot on the Sabbath didn't do any such thing.

He was Torah observant, but where the law does not specifically apply just say okay will just please show me in the law where it says if you can make the person whole if you can turn them from unclean to clean if you can do that. Please show me where that the Torah touches on that also. There is a very interesting verse it's incident in Haggai. The second chapter and just want to go over there it's it's it's very interesting and it it's a principle that you could potentially apply here and if it has to do with a holy thing. Making something that's unholy holy Haggai 211. The said Lord of hosts, seeker reeling from the priestess follows the man's caring sacrificial flesh in the fold of his garment with a full touches bread, stew, wine, oral, or any other food will the latter become holy and the priest replied. The priest said no haggling on the sum of the file from a corpse touches and of these would be defiled.

The priest responded yes. So this is kind of a reverse thing but it's saying okay that uncleanness can be transferred, but holiness does not make something else. Holy well what if you have the power to make something household. There was this is something that transcends it. What if by touching the unclean. You make the unclean clean. What's the law about that. The law doesn't address yes. So in short, the law did not specifically address it and what he was doing was a work of the Messiah, bringing supernatural healing 86634 we go to Brian in Louisville Kentucky. Thanks for calling the line of fire. Dr. Brown and longtime fan been listening, about 15 years not gone back and forth in the debate. But I would turn back to you whether an indicator not in our research and looking into it and I am of Jewish heritage myself and my question is worth the ramifications of not following Yahweh during knock time till eternity in hell, even if L had been fully revealed yet, other than a Beaufort when all the going and had to go by with a very harsh work of an ethnic religion/theocracy compared to the warm work of Christ, the Hebrew Bible very harsh with seem to be quite unlikely to bring about convert were going in most of the world population going to hell for eternity or thousand year, when Adam and Yeshua projecting harsh words of the Torah getting parking on now we have Christ to bring about convert but work that were people going to hell for not believing in the more all the world world going up without years that my question another one quick one if I could flippant listen to a clip of John MacArthur when Billy Graham died.

He fit Billy Graham created confusing alliances with liberal Putdown John MacArthur to be really strict and kind of extreme. What are your thoughts on John MacArthur. Those my two questions and thank you distance to hear Brian never break coming up in the moment the Joe McCarthy question is not surly Jewish Thursday related so deceit super quickly tremendous respect and appreciation for pest MacArthur and the good that is done, and have taken strong exception to some of the things he said and taught over the years, especially about charismatics and some of his words towards others.

That being said, I do have a question that I want to ask, but we can get cut off soap on the other side of the break we come back. I just want to tell me. In brief, how you doing now. If you're in the faith or not and then I'll answer your question head-on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get on the line of fire by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown (Thursday Michael Brown delighted truth so I want to go back to Brian in Louisville. So right now.

Brian Re: are you strong in your faith in Yeshua or consider yourself outside right now I'm outside right now.

Quick my quickest. Basically 0 to 13 raise and reform Judaism 13 my parent parents divorced and we moved to my mom going down my maternal grandma and tile very close to her. I got me into a church, ages 14 through 16. I had real experiences with Christ 16 through 24 at age maybe 20% with Christ. But the other 80% more my fate of all into just the love of history and politics. I might think of all into something that where I wasn't believing, but the but it was the faith that turned into just a love of history and politics in infants 20 pretty much just been 11 history, politics, and am a Jewish millennial more left wing politics more of a disciple probably have known John Stephen Yeshua, but to think on there is that little thing inside me to keep me listening to you calling into your shell. Maybe there still some sort of root inside of me that that wants to grow again. I don't know I Brian.

That was an amazingly concise and clear and honest summary. I really appreciate it and everybody get everybody pray for Brian to really come to know the truth about Don and the situs which one is the truth correct yes sir that's true absolutely got it.

Have you read my book, the real kosher Jesus you know you may have sent me that I have called in your shell back in 2000 and your 50th birthday and you had trivia up. Why is the number 55 important today it within unit 10. I think I commented that your 50th birthday and you sent me a book and it may have been that one may been another one but a book called well as I sent you that it was a few years before I wrote it, which would be really on their thoughts.

So some of the different it's if you will read it and send you another book. Is that okay be glad to Dr. Brennan find interest at a rate so Morgan when I'm done speaking with Brian then get his address we can send him the real kosher Jesus okay first thing is the God that is revealed himself in Scripture is compassionate, kind, loving, long-suffering, fully revealed in sending his son into the world to die for our sins so that's his nature.

He's knocking to be inconsistent by showing that much love and then just indiscriminately damning hundreds of millions of people to eternity in hell and really didn't even know any better, that's that that's the first thing in the goal. In Old Testament times was not primarily to convert the nations, and in fact, Paul says that as they worshiped idols and NX 17, God basically overlook that. Now he's calling all people everywhere to repent so we understand that God will judge us by the light that we have right I would also say that the major emphasis of the Bible is not on eternal conscious torturing being flipped you know from side to side and in a lake burning with fire, but running utterly destroyed, perishing, and and that is ultimately we can debate the nature of eternal punishment. I'm simply in the words of someone was cut off and destroyed.

That is a punishment that last forever, just as being consciously tormented as a punishment that last forever.

But when God is revealed as as kind and just and compassionate and merciful and and and constantly rebukes those that are unjust and unfair and condemning in the Bible and they don't care for the needy.

We have to understand that God will do what is perfectly right and the issue is, what am I doing with the light that I have. So for example if if you were if you were starving you you were.

You were caught in some famine somewhere and you're starving and I come to you and Sarah here is food. I don't think your first question would be, but what about the starving babies in Uganda having come to them with food.

Your first therapy. Thank you.

I'm dying thank you for the food and then maybe well now that I know what starvation is like I'm I'm going to I'm going to to reach out to dinner to help others that are starving. So it's a good fair question will look at the nature of God, we have to showcase can deal with them unfairly and based on the light that we have based on the knowledge that we have too much is given much is required. Brian stay right there.

Morgan was going to get your contact information and will send you the real kosher Jesus. I think you find it to be a really eye-opening read with a lot of good history information in there as well. Let's go to Anna in Charlotte, North Carolina. Welcome to the line of fire, you welcome about how to run and I'm thinking of me), right knee became her had to pay up. Name of when we beckoning genealogy go to that much Of Chilean or mainline platelet Naomi--but anyway right so this would have been okay line. It would've innocent brother of Moscone to Lyons remarried Bruce mother-in-law over okay that that's where levirate marriage would've come in bowl has Boaz himself had had rights to the property.

This is a property issue. This is not to raise up a name for the debtor was just there was a widow associated with. That's all. So this this was this was, not an exact parallel otherwise, that the name could've come either of two ways. It could've come in the name of Boaz or could've come in the name of the brother that the deceased brother.

In this case. Boaz did not have a deceased brother and the first child that he had for the deceased brother would now be in the brother's name so it's not an exact pouch a great question.

It's just not an exact parallel what, when, when you look so this this was this was land owned by someone else. It was not a matter of raising up the name rather it was carrying on the legacy in the history but it was it was not the same situation so it's a close parallel but not an exact parallel if you if you just go back and read the account carefully right to inherit property and dictate it's this family it's it's keeping the history going. It's keeping the history and and lineage going in this way, but again if it'd been an exact parallel than the first child born ultimately to say this, you could press the case with such as the property it it is it the legacy of this person, but it does not specifically say that they never had children right in the account. Listen forgetting something in in in this for sure chapters in Ruth, but you do have right you so it again, you could press the question say what it seems self-evident. But here's the thing you have genealogies in the Hebrew Bible and for example you have it with through Pavel. She's listed with two different fathers in the Bible and that's clear. He was the child of a levirate marriage so one genealogy lists the father of what would've been his deceased uncle and the other genealogy lists. His father is his his physical father. So either one could be recorded in the genealogy. So if you're right, that was if there if this was a levirate marriage and if there had been a no child before and Boaz was was racing up the memory of the dead and continuing it right. The genealogy could still have two choices, but it's true. Boaz is better known here or put it through the deceased relative potentially and that's Yep sure thing. Yes, you just study look up through Pavel right and is he been to diet receipt someone else was he been shot till I believe the does the right name there I drive.

Let's just see. Oh yeah, plenty of time for the call here the Skoda Matthew in Phoenix, Arizona.

Welcome to the line of fire. Hey Dr. Brown I question about Hewitt.

You don't know.

I was raised AG really got into profit anything like that basic you know AG archipelago, but I have a question that not getting into that learning more about property. I've a question I had a conversation with you that bed you know Jeremiah prophesied thing that didn't come to pass out until when we look at modern property today. He could be considered a profit and profit.

I think that will come to find that out trend you don't get get a clear indication answers are. Can somebody claim to be a prophet get something wrong or have something knocking to Bill hear from God is the gift conditional out of that work. So three answers number one, there's a lot of flaky unaccountable prophecy today in the modern Pentecostal charismatic movement and needs to be addressed in my book, playing with holy fire have a whole chapter on unaccountable prophecy. I was one of the people who helped author the prophetic standards. After the failed trump prophecy so that is an ongoing issue and problem that words are just spoken into the air without accountability and and we need to really fix that and the critics of the charismatic movement do well to call us out all the failed covert prophecies all the failed trump prophecies, they do well to call us out if we were doing a better job of of calling ourselves out. Then the critics wouldn't have to do some of this work that's first thing the second thing is, there definitely are conditional prophecies of the principles laid out in Jeremiah 18 that there are times when God's is in a blessed nation and that nation turns to sin God instead of blessing brings judgment.

If users are going to judge a nation and they repent like Jonah telling the city of Nineveh 40 days Nineveh will be destroyed. They repent and instead of destroying God withholds the punishment instead brings blessing so conditional prophecies are just that, and many prophecies are conditional that you are going to experience XYZ blessing in the future God is calling you into this new endeavor and then you turn away from it fall into similar socket happened, but here's the third point we believe Jeremiah to be a true prophet because he prophesied massive things that did happen just the rest of it didn't so we know it still will. For example, he said that his people would go into exile for 70 years that happened. He said Jerusalem would be destroyed and the temple burned that happened. He said after 70 years.

Your return that happened. He said you rebuild the temple that happened. He says will be joy and gladness in streets all that happened. And then he said that the presence of God will be so wonderful of the nations become talking that didn't happen, but it will, but it will. So if someone is improving profit ABCD and EFG have not come to pass.

Perhaps those things will also pass the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get on the line of fire by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown is water with joy the wells of salvation.

Okay I want to go back for a moment to these believers.

Everyone I know involved with this Jewish believer. Maybe there is some Gentile believers involved as well. But the main folks I know involved with trying to reach the ultra-Orthodox in Israel and America are Jewish believers in Yeshua so I'll just get a read from this article seeking converts and times of Israel. If this is some Christian missionary groups United States train their sights on ultra-Orthodox result is that is a good article but does little different impression as Christian missionary groups as if all these Christian missionaries around the world, or Christian groups are targeting ultra-Orthodox that's not the case. I will wish many more were praying for ultra-Orthodox okay so this is pretty much in unreached and hidden people group so it it's the ones I know involved in that really care or are Jewish believers in Yeshua, so some Christian missionary groups nicely strain their sights on ultra-Orthodox Jews. One is sent out Yiddish language Bibles including the New Testament to Jewish communities in New York in an effort to convince them to convert to Christianity that parts misleading.

The article seeks to be fair, this is from the author's perspective, those Tronic convert them to Christianity there was trying to get the man to shave their beards and put on across it and and let's get extreme get a Christmas tree okay. We want them to remain Jews.

We want them to remain God-fearing Jews would choose to embrace Yeshua as the Messiah and now see Torah in light of the new covenant and live it out by the spirit as opposed to primarily Jewish tradition, but were when not Wesley. We of every reach out ultra-Orthodox Jews in many many ways for years and he just dialogue. We get to know each other, rabbis, missionaries, and we interact go back and forth through through email the stolen think if all the rabbis that had regular contact with a number of them counter missionaries so there quite ready to deal with these issues and some of pursued me that so we got to interact, but it in any case.

In any case the goals that's convert them to Christianity.

The goal is to get them to be messianic Jews, Jewish followers of Yeshua and whether they lead very traditional lies after that are less traditional this that the issue the issue is that their living as God-fearing Jews and obedience to him. Opponents of the missionary work called the deceptive and invasive all the manholes the Red Sea's translation of New Testament city is not directly involved, but the in the effort.

Sincere and well-intentioned enough to send a return address on the posted Bibles blunt the local synagogue.

To my knowledge, my knowledge was was only the gospel of Matthew that was sent out least that's what I been aware. Maybe there others sending out others that that's when I was aware of an extra ministry phone number with respect for people with questions. Again, the return address and didn't say synagogue so-and-so with the address was just a mattress.

Many people wouldn't even recognize a mattress but wasn't there to be deceptive understands been discontinued in terms of doing that was just a return address was needed and that was one that was no it in any case, there was no intent to deceive with it and says you should Yiddish Bibles for outreach appeared to be revival of the tactic to notice the tactic the movement of abandoned decades ago. The New Testament strengthen its use in the 1940s to proselytize Jews obviously for Jews from Yiddish was their first language. And maybe they were believers.

At this point who was at the translator but a Jewish believer right. That's how these things happen. Just people ministries began with with a rabbi going over to the states Jewish rabbi and coming to know she was Messiah and he would preach on this on the streets of Brooklyn bridge on the streets of Leopold: in preaching Yiddish to his fellow Jews. Nowadays, you really couldn't do that without a tremendous amount of disruption and and this is all pre-Holocaust.

Of course many many years before that when you read the article so it's it's times of Israel.

It's a free open article. You have to subscribe seeking converts Christian missionaries pitch Yiddish Bibles to New York ultra-Orthodox when you read it you'll see testimony from a Jewish believer, Barry Rubin and and they interviewed him fairly and and and let him let him speak and then you'll see counter missionaries of Chris Rose. Consider going for the elderly.

The Holocaust victims of the elderly. It is to create this picture that the missionaries are preying on the elderly that is so terribly misleading at ministry question. Don't religious Jewish organizations reach out to elderly Jews and and try to help them humanitarian ways which many ministries and I know do you just try to help humanitarian ways but but don't they also tried to get them to be more judicial. What would be wrong with a Jewish person. They've they've got a grandmother it in a nursing home and they go and talk to other Jewish people want to toss it with a prerogative targeting the elders know it doesn't happen. It's one of these things to create a false picture okay there's a headline announcing that a Christian Bible teacher in Tennessee said here's how you torture a Jew at any any wrote up on the board. God's name in full, not transliterated, Yahweh, Jehovah is of his right and said so you torture Jew, but by making them say that because Jews are forbidden to pronounce the name of God is considered to sacred. It is idiotic, stupid, ugly thing. If this is as reported by Jews to the class that was offended if that's how it went down that's despicable. That's inexcusable. It's horrible. I would just encourage you not to make more out of it than someone being idiotic. Someone may be thinking it was funny and being a jerk.

I don't think the person was saying this is, it would be like saying hey you want to really torture a black person in America use the N word Telamon disc. In the say the N word is good again… Idiotic that stupid that's ugly but I don't believe it points to this massive anti-Semitic thing going is is ugly, inexcusable, but to me not knowing anything about except that report it seems more stupid and idiotic than malicious. Maybe the person was malicious by the person's blatant anti-Semite to me. It's a more stupid, idiotic, something that was taught in Christian Bible classes. That being said headline in the daily wire announces every eighth anti-Semitic crimes spiked near the 300% in New York City last month since last year yet so this is an issue. Anti-Semitism continues to rise. In many parts of America and the world that is an issue all right got time for another call or two. Let's go over to Michael in Missouri. Welcome to the line of fire. Shalom Dr. Brown how are you doing very well thank you so girt this interesting event in the book of act where Philip is I get to going from Jerusalem to Dr. Ord.

Yet as I say, I'm just jumping acts eight where he shares the gospel with an Ethiopian reading Isaiah 53 yeah yeah Ethiopian reading Isaiah 53, but it says here in the Bible right here.

He in Jerusalem to worship so iconic put the connection together to the reading from the book of Isaiah or the Boulevard. They can only mean that either in Greek or in Hebrew, which he understood those languages and the only people to have those girls argue drawn thinking that this man Ethiopian man of the Jewish law. It's possible that he was a Jewish convert that's possible. It's possible that this man had come to worship the God of Israel, and by the way, I'm only jumping in to make sure I can. I can address your question before the before at a time, so forgive me for doing this because because I know you want to lay it out. Many think that he was just a God-fearing Gentile and be common to know Greek at that time and you could have access to scrolls and in the Septuagint was out. You could have access to scrolls, especially if you're from wealthy family or part of it in of serving the royalty or something like that. So many believe that he was just a God-fearing Gentile who would come to worship. That's what they would do, but they weren't full converts with the been circumcised. Others say he was circumcised for the very reasons that are giving there is debate about that. Does that connect to juice today because the see the questioner Ethiopian Jews or Ethiopians Jews or non-Jews. So Ethiopian Jews living in Israel today in other parts role are legitimately Jewish.

It it is it is not. It is not simply something that well they know they heard about Judaism at some point they they even remember back traditions over many many centuries. When they came to Israel because they did not follow rabbinic Judaism.

The men were required to just have like the drawing of blood that actual circumcision but like a symbolic thing because the one follow rabbinic traditions because they never heard of that and and because rabbinic traditions came later, but it seems that they go back thousands of years.

So or at over 2000 years in terms of their lineage and history. So yes, they make a legitimate claim to be legitimate. He's given it is realized. Many of them come to faith.
