Psalm 91 in Hebrew

With all the concerns about plague and virus. Let's dig into the Hebrew of Psalm 91 stage for the line of fire with your host activist all the international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral 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 valves like always 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH euro.

Jim is Dr. Michael Brown (choose a lot of fire broadcast. This is Michael Brown delighted to be with you. Here's a recall, 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-348-7884. About a week I my screen seems to be frozen. There we go release this email one screen.

Hey, welcome to the broadcast. It is thoroughly Jewish. There is did one edify you bill drop strengthen you and encourage you in the Lord today. Phones are open for any Jewish related questions overlays to Jewish people.

Modern Israel if it relates to the Hebrew Bible. Hebrew language if it relates to Judaism, Jewish religion since Israel Jewish related will take your calls today, 866-348-7884 I was in New York City yesterday with my dear friend Erica taxes recording. Oh, I guess a show and 1/2 for his radio broadcast on my new book resurrection. I really believe the angles that we hit on coming from uniquely Jewish perspective will be edifying will be encouraging will be life-giving and will be different on a certain level than any since been written about this before, so if you haven't got the book. Be sure to get it but get a copy for a Jewish friend as well. The title of the book resurrection investigating Rabbi from Brooklyn, a preacher from Galilee. In the event that changed the world. So I was going to record a show Tuesday night flew in from where was I flew in from Georgia yeah Tuesday and was going to record a show Tuesday night to air on Wednesday about dealing with fear and the problem was the mic I've traveled with for years. High-quality Mike for recording my radio show.

It broke something's wrong with it.

Stop working so I was unable to do that show yesterday that I wanted to.

In the midst of panic for your concern with with the coronavirus and now more and more strong measures being take sports events being canceled of conferences being canceled travel being canceled I had in the event local event scheduled for tomorrow night got canceled an event scheduled for about a month out of New York City just got canceled, so people are concerned and it's very easy to give way to fears always good to a whole show, just focused on that focus on the question of dealing with fear, but was unable to record it. We played a Bester broadcast my interview with Dr. Michael Heiser about the subject of angels. I hope you are edifying and blessed by it results thoroughly Jewish Thursday what we focus on Psalm 91 right up Psalm 91. One of the standout Psalms in the book of Psalms, meaning it's unique in many ways it's one of the best known in many ways so I want to look at that with you today dig into the text and then take your Hebrew related calls. So again if you have a question of any kind. That is, Hebrew, Jewish related 866-34-TRUTH 87884. All right, let's dig into Psalm 91 again unique Psalm in the entire book of Psalms.

There is no superscription to it.

It doesn't tell us who wrote it when it was written according to Jewish tradition.

It was written by Moses. Some say the dedication of the tabernacle. That's when Moses wrote it. Psalm 90 is ascribed to Moses in the following Psalm Psalm 91 is no superscription so Jewish tradition ascribes to Moses, but we really don't know who wrote it and we really don't know when it was written and it's one of those timeless Psalms of the Lexington Bible. The English translation like some English translation. A titles is God's protection in times of crisis. So I want to break this down want to share some comments from Charles Spurgeon in his famous treasury of David and some other passages of the quotes as well, but I want to break it down word by word. Verse by verse as relevant and will read Hebrew and then translated your shave procedurally on but sale Shaddai Declan on so used to hearing it translated something like the one who dwells in the secret place of the most high will abide in the shadow of the Almighty and and that's an accurate translation in many ways I want to break it down a little bit further for you because the foundation of the Psalm is so important for everything else that follows Charles Spurgeon said this, the blessings here promised or not for all believers but for those who live in close fellowship with God. Every child of God looks toward the inner sanctuary in the mercy seat. Yet all do not dwell in the most holy place. They run to it at times in a K and enjoy occasional approaches, but they do not habitually rub reside in the mysterious presence.

The open word in Hebrew is your shave is an active participle which means this if I say in Hebrew on the qualitative. It means I am writing that's what I am currently doing. I Nico table. I am writing but it can also mean I am a writer because that's what writers do, they write, so active participle can be.

Speaking of ongoing activity or can be. Speaking of the description of the person that does that.

So again I Nico table on the is I in Hebrew.

I Nico table I am writing or I am a writer. This word your shave means one who dwells somewhere one who live somewhere can also be an inhabitant.

In other words you you live in this place regular that's what you do you live there.

Therefore, you are an inhabitant of that place.

So your shave is not talking about just an occasional visit and occasional here and there. I'm in the secret place I'm in that hiding place. But know this is lifestyle. This is something that is part of who we are in God. This pursuit to live in this place with God you civil that's like a high call. Yes, it's a hot call. Obviously none of us can shut ourselves out from the world and and spend 24 hours a day alone in prayer and meditating on Scripture right me maybe maybe you have that situation, your loan, you have the responsibilities and virtually all day of freedom and that's the rear rear rear person among us.

Most of us are busy working jobs and raising families involved in different activities and ministries and things like that, because of which our lives are stretched in many directions. So the question mean how you gonna reside live in the secret place while you're changing diapers of the newborn in the two-year-old is crying on the four-year-old was sick. How are you gonna live in that secret place when you're trying to make deals that on the that the car dealership and sell a car to someone take my protester who sent you dwell on that secret place in the midst of the frenzy of of life. So obviously it's not talking about just being alone in prayer because then no one could live there. It's talking about being positioned in a certain way where my life is hidden in God that word say to her, it it's related to secret.

If you do something bus a trait you're doing it secretly say to could also be a hiding place a covert that you run there to get away from the enemy and it is your hiding place. It is your secret place so it's it's not the secret place in terms of it's a secret to find it. You're in the mystery room and you gotta find the clue and you gotta find the key and get out and it's a secret know it's it's secret in terms of its secret it's it's a it is a place hidden away is a place in God where others can't find you and others can't touch.

So I believe it all starts with our our lives alone with God.

I believe that starts in our private relationship with God, and that without that solid foundation of quality time in his presence alone regular basis in prayer.

The word worship as we have that as a foundation we won't be able to live in that secret place in that hiding place, but if that's our foundation, then the course of our life can be hidden in God that even in crazy times, even in difficult times that we are consciously positioned in him and consciously pursuing him and consciously in communion with him many years ago a friend of mine did the teaching and he made an interesting comment. He said no matter what you're doing. You can worry isn't that true, you can be in the midst of playing sports and your worry, you can be in the midst of a birthday party for your spouse and your worry you could be in in the midst of trying to fall asleep in your worry you could be in the midst of that scenario, changing diapers with a crying kid, the sick kid in your worry. In other words, we can worry no matter what were doing and he suggested why not worry the word meaning, why not always seek to bring the word to your heart, your mind and meditate on it, kind of in the background of everything you're doing. There's a way that whatever is going on in your life that there's a prayer going up. I don't mean in a religious sense that you have to be beating yourself over the head, that I Prema to the plaintiff, but rather as a communion with God that this consciousness of God that whatever you're doing with your flying a plane or driving a car with you playing with the kids are having a meal with the family that there is a consciousness of God that's in us and that's going up to the throat that this makes sense to you.

Just like when you fast that that you're conscious of not eating. So your body is feeling a little different on those days and there is this constant sense of whatever you're fasting for is on your mind and it's going up almost as a is a constant prayer to God. The hunger of your body is almost going up as a constant reminder and a prayer to God of the thing you're focused on that.

That's kind of what it means to live in that place your shipper Celtic Pacifico. He also notice it's the one who dwells in that this hiding place.

The secret place of the most high.

Why is God called the most high, even in the New Testament, Jesus is called son of the most high God will because there were other competing gods because there were others that claim to be gods because their other Powers, Exodus 15, who is like you among the gods of the Lord, and he single note. She is the most there are other powers and and demonic things and angelic things and others that claim to be God, but he is the most awesome if you're in safely with him. Nothing can touch if if you're abiding in living in him is is that what Jesus taught John 15 abide in me and I in you that it's lifestyle it's it's who we are. It's how we walk again. It starts with putting on deep roots in our private times alone with God. And then that deepens our ongoing consciousness of God, and now we can live well hidden in the place obvious; take so much time on each word. Each verse want to open this up for you more deeply will continue in Psalm 91 we come back on today's broadcast thoroughly. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution there again is Dr. Michael Brown or reports from Israel, that one company says they're very close to having a vaccine for the coronavirus. They were working on related vaccines for related viruses for some years now and this is close enough they feel that had it within a couple weeks.

They say it can be tested but then it several months. This would redtape bureaucratic things before can be released to the public but things can be sped up and Purim the holiday permits just been celebrated during this time that Israel's enemy specifically, Haman wanted to wipe them out, God miraculously delivered right every Jewish lady?

Of the phones a little while 866-34-TRUTH but going through Psalm 91 and listen. We are pragmatic we are practical as God's people. The book of Proverbs gives us lots of wisdom that when you see disaster coming you you run from it, not to it. We use wisdom. This is part of of what God's given us a right the physical senses that we have of something is really hot you touch your hand pulls away because you get burned so we use wisdom and their things that we do at certain times and don't do it other task is is not wise.

On the other hand, we live by faith will live the way the rest of the world does not live in fear. We don't live in terror. We don't panic if we have a healthy relationship with God in our lives with his hands, and even though there may be pain and difficulty and hardship that we endure in this world with confidence and faith that is with us that in him we have nothing to fear, and even the most horrific things that come away cannot separate us from God.

Psalm 91.

Those one of those Psalms that encourages us to press and more deeply to God to know him more intimately to walk with him more closely and it does promise protection and I remember decades ago II just pulled out treasury of debris from a library right before the show today, but I remember decades ago reading and treasury of David's ads. Charles Spurgeon's commentary on the Psalms with lots of other comments and quotes from other preachers and teachers just a rich rich treasury. Hence call the treasury of David Psalms. But I remember reading quotes in there about people working during play times in London. These are Christian workers there in the midst of it, with people dying around them in they were untouched. So you don't just intentionally going to a plague situation and say will all be fine. All right. However, there are times when you're laboring in the midst of a situation and you have no choice are exposed to things around you and God miraculously textured.

It's good though to have the confidence in mentality son Psalm 91 our laws and that this is a lifestyle.

So the water dwells in the secret place a high inflation called shelter, but I want you to get more the feeling of it if it's covert place. It's a place where your secret away from these other attacks of the one who dwells in this hiding place. The secret place of the most high, that this one will abide with this one abides in its in an ongoing sense in Hebrew. This is repetitive.

This is we spend the night we spent the night we spent the night that that you will spend the night that you will laws you will abide in the shadow, meaning that the covering of shall die that we don't know exactly what Shaddai means it's normally translated as Almighty and that's how we come to know about the words will just leave it there for now rather than break that down further and now you have different voices in the Psalms now the psalmist speaks directly first person at the end of the Psalm gobble speak directly and inheres with the psalmist says Marla Adonai. I will say to the Lord, Mark C with Sue.T so I will say to the Lord, you are my refuge and my fortress, so it's the place rife go to flee, and the place right go for strong protection. You're my refuge but my, my stronghold might my fortress hello hi F Toughbook you are my God, and then he says I will trust in him.

He makes that proclamation so we can literally flee to God not just with our problems in our emotions and our burdens which hopefully do regularly, and prejudice given to the Lord cast them on the Lord throw them on the Lord lean on the Lord, but we with our whole lives. We can run and take refuge in him. I made as if he was a giant physical building that you could run into and be safe. It's that real spiritually speaking. The psalmist continues in verse three key who speak of the Lord, for he that Cellcom epoxy, Kush may never have vote now you can get some very, very vivid language here right at as if you're being hunted at as if demonic forces are trying to hunt you down or someone physically is is out to get you a he will certainly rescue you from the snare of the Hunter and from what the destructive plague of other translations of the the deadly pestilence and that the Hebrew endeavor is a common word used for plague for pestilence. And this is particularly destructive one. So it says that he will rescue you from these things. This I want to say this again. I seek to use wisdom and all that I do shall been traveling around the world. Traveling around states I see choose wisdom and what I do and I know that in terms of viruses and things like that that the number one best remedy to to prevent them is not even a vaccine but a strong immune system and an overall healthy body. So I understand that same time.

I trust God with my whole life and I don't boast in my health, or by my physical well-being a boast in the Lord. At the same time I eat healthily. At the same time, I take healthy supplements to boost my immune system even more and things like that healthy organic supplements at the same time. I put my trust in God to deliver me from the plague, not just as a random thing that I live my life at a distance from God incarnate. Well, whatever. I do my own thing whatever, come to know my lifestyle, my lifestyle is to be with him.

That's what I seek to do. My lifestyle is to live in him, though I don't always attain to that, but that's what I seek to do and as I do that I have a confidence that in that place hidden him. Nobody can touch me.

Nothing can touch me.

That should be our confidence in God you say about my coming. People die all the time people get godly people get cancer yet my guns were counter the book of Job. So yes yes yes thank you for for saying that. Thank you for saying what others are thinking.

I understand people die, people close to me have died people I prayed for for years for healing have die.

I understand that we have godly friends who lost children and freak accident site. I understand that these things happen, but I don't base my faith on what happened to others which happen to me. I base my faith in the promises of God. So I'm gonna seek to live this out and see this realize you say well it's just talking spiritually is this time of spiritual attack, number one, I'm quite sure the reader of the Hebrew Bible and the ancient world would not have made that distinction that this was spiritually a nonphysical for many many reasons. I say that is a careful student of the Hebrew Scriptures. Secondly, the words that are used are as vivid as could be used to talk about plague and pestilence in and disaster and things like that. So let's let's continue. Verse four the ever told SF lock the tuk-tuk in the five taxa to set see not this opera Mito so here again promise of of you dwell in the shadow you abide in the shadow of the Lord.

The shelter of the Lord that he extends his protection. So here's an image as if God is like up a mother hammer or a bird, protective bird, he shall cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you shall take refuge, his faithfulness will be a protective shield it's it's literally a shield and buckler two different types of shields that are spoken of the CSB combines them as a shield and rampart shield and buckler shield sees me.

CSB is protective shield of the shield and buckler shield and rampart.

Some even say shield or protective wall. This is more likely to be different types of shields it's his faithfulness. It's his truth that that shadows us that protects us the covers us, and then it goes on and because we have this relationship with God.

Therefore, we don't fear verse five look to be Paco and Lila Mason hates yet, move your mom very, very dramatic language in Hebrew. You need not fear, or you shall not fear the terror by night with the arrow that flies by day. These are images that could well speak of demonic attack 00 were demons that will recognize demonic powers dark powers in the Old Testament with their there are there are references to them. These chaos powers and different disruptive powers. There's a further revelation of Satan as we get further on in the Hebrew Bible, and of course, in full, glaring light in the New Testament. Satan deems much more revealed but the fact is there. There are these things and when it speaks of fear Paco in Hebrew. It can mean fear itself or the thing fear and here were told there is no reason to fear these things that the thing you fear the fearful thing that could come on you. You do not need to fear, and then again plague language meet dev air but will fill you hello be kept if you shoot, so her, I am so you don't need to fear the pestilence the plague.

There you have it again dev air that say were used couple versus earlier, the plague that stalks in the darkness or the scorch that ravages at noon so whether it's day or night.

It's the middle of the night under attack in broad daylight. You don't have to fear these things, they are out there.

They are real but you have to freely let me say this, everything described so far is a lot more severe than the coronavirus a lot more intense level dangerous. God promises protection as well. That show the secret place that hiding place just executing some of her plan by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown of your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown hide ourselves in God. The enemy cannot touch us some 91 if you got a Hebrew related questions usually request will get to the phones in a bit 866-34-TRUTH so through verse six we are reading promise after promise and confession of God being our strength and refuge in plague attack fear will not touch us again. Just picture that you run into that building. It's it it's an impregnable building and you got all kinds enemies chasing you running there and you shut the door behind you. It's a God shuts it behind you. No one can touch you. That's the picture and it is one. As we noted Spurgeon saying not just for any believer, but for the one that really dwells and lives intimately with God and this is an invitation to us as New Testament believers through the cross to live there and you can live there in the midst of a busy life is not only for some secluded person in a monastery that can meditate and pray all day. This is for all of us in the world in which we live.

But notice this verse seven and this is where we see the reality of it and reading in Hebrew there were translating diplomacy, LF River via Mimi Nessa and left, though you gosh so I thousand may fall at your side, 10,000 at your right side, but it shall not reach you.

Whoa whoa do you get that people are dying all around us.

You might be in the midst of war.

It there are people suffering there are people going on the please hear me.

Do not take this Psalm is a right to judge people that suffer will they got sick. I didn't what they died.

I didn't wall the tree fell on their house not on my house.

Will the car crash affected them, not me know. Do not do this to judge others until John Ellis was a great lesson to the book of Job, which is don't look a noticeable you must've some rockets at Batson have viewed and happened to meet no no don't think that for split-second. However, as you do see fearful things happening around you. You can have confidence God alone take refuge in a place because this is a promise to anyone that will so yeah there may be these horrible things that happen around us, but there's no reason for fear verse eight. Notice this rock in that hot tub beat which you must wish the interests of peace, specifically the punishment of the wicked, so the ones that are dropping dead around you. These are people dying in judgment, but it won't happen to you is the specific reference here so only with your eyes you will see at the punishment of the wicked. You will behold now the promises continue Cataldo nine Mark C. L your own sanctum on that because you you took the Lord solace is my refuge. Ellie owned the most high, the one that is higher than every other power over the so-called God. You've taken him as as your your your haven your place of of of rest.

This is look at some other translations for the final word. My own son's a dwelling place. Yeah, that shelter but dwelling place works well of.

So this is again where you live you live in position of confidence in God. We live in a position of trust in God. We live in a position of leaning on God, you live in a position of your breathing just communing with God or you're not doing for living a life separate from him you living a life in him. These glorious wonderful promises exist at the risk of being redundant. Let me say this again. We build the foundation for this lifestyle and times alone with God in our secret times with God in our time, shut away from others with him because that's the foundation right. That is the foundation for everything we do look at it like roots being put down deeply. That's what Jesus spent so much time alone with his father. Then in the midst of the busyness of public life and ministry demands everything screaming around him. He could still walk. The sense of communion with God in the midst of all the chaos.

The foundations were laid in secret right verse 10 as we continue. Again, words of encouragement because you've done this load to an LSR Venegas Lee Carbajal, so no harm will befall you know, disease touch or tent that the word negative. There can can speak of being smitten its related often with with words having to do with severe skin disease smitten, but it again is a physical disease in St. it won't touch you and it will come near your tent, which is another way of saying your family right now. Once more I understand that we all know believers, godly people. Maybe you listen watch right now. Your second body right you know people godly people are second body.

So how does Asam apply to them. Here's the way I read it I do not judge someone else. Some of the God of this people I know have been physically very sick people that love the Lord. People separated to God and some little been chronically sick right some some of been disabled and they love God and they they are high quality people in the Lord. So I'm I make no judgment of anyone else with their relationship with God. All I want to do is take hold of this for myself, and encourage others to do the same know if this is not a Psalm teacher to judge others.

This is a Psalm encouraging you to come into this place so I am always going to build my faith on what is written more than what I experienced.

If my experience confirms what's written wonderful, wonderful, but I want to build my faith on what is written. So taking refuge in him, leaning on him walking and him living in him finding that and dwelling in that hiding place that Secret Pl. in God. Unutterably these promises for me and my family.

Yeah, I'm going to do that and I'll tell you one very striking story will become to the end in a moment and then verse 11. Why will this be the case.

Comella David Sabella because he'll command his angels concerning you. These Mark Kolber called Rebecca Cook to guard you to protect you wherever you go so you live in that secret place wherever you go and I look at this TIME recently saw that they'll carry though the lift drop carrying their hands panty golf by Evan Agresta this to hurt your foot on the stone.

Do you think is just empty words friends and you just gonna spiritualize them to make them fit your experience, are you gonna let the Lord call you in deeper call you hire a let every man be liable to God be true is that was written. Psalm 51: Romans three yet. Let that be the case, I'm going to trust what God says and believe him while I act with wisdom, and seek to be pragmatic in all I do and in more promises and some of these reinforced further in the New Testament verse 13 all shock of our pets tend to draw to your most key fear attorney so you will tread on cubs and Vipers that he was different words for lines that some so we can't quite cover, but the Cubs works here. You will tread on cubs and Vipers and you'll trample liens and asps so these fierce foes.

These dangerous foes. Yes, you could say that. Speaking of demonic powers were not literally trampling liens under our feet. But these demonic powers do real terrible damage and then God speaks now so this is the intimacy of the relationship run. This is the depth of the invitation to know him and walk with him and trust in him TV because shock goddesses because he's devoted to me is cleaving to me he's embracing me the file to all deliver him aside Faye who get Ashley, I'll keep him safe, or some would say out, I'll exalt him a raise him up for he knows my name goddesses when you really know him and walk with him. You get treated with that special relationship.

The Craney then they who recalls on me. I'll answer him in mono cubits are I'll be with him in distress. So we do walk through hard times and yet God carries us through supernaturally say who the hub they all rescue him and I will make him honored literally all all honor him or I will treat him with honor all treat him so he is honored.

This is God promising.

It or if you Mema SBA who satisfy him with long life for our age who be sure to and I'll show him my salvation while which were the Lieut. 19 Jesus gives his disciples authority over all the power of the enemy. What is he says that will tread serpents and scorpions under her feet.

Similar language similar promise. John G Lake pioneer missionary in South Africa turn of the last century have an extraordinary experience now Lake died at the age of 65. His wife died related to malnutrition, giving away everything I have all there is no provision. She died leaving Lake without his wife and their seven children. The mother while they were in South Africa, likely from 1870 to 1935, so the last thing I'm saying is that leaks are skipped through life without a problem without hardship. Okay.

And yet he experienced God's miraculous hand in the midst of a horrific plague in South Africa. People were dying so rapidly that they they couldn't even dig enough graves coffins for burial preparing people's rep and blankets bury them together. It was a horrific time in Lake was ministering in the midst of it and praying for people and yet was untouched, no again he did not live his entire life untouched.

I don't want to give you an impression Mencius of the hardship that he experienced in the loss of life. He experienced, and yet in this particular case, he experienced supernatural protection from God and he went to one of the doctors that were there people and they die. This white foam come out of their mouth and the doctor said how was your completely untouched and yet he hadn't had go through all the precautions because he was in the midst of this life-and-death ministry and and he said to the doctors that is that the germ still alive after death. This just for some minutes it is put on the microscope look at this idea. Everything is there is not put the same germ on my hand and he put the foam on his hand. He put his hand in the microscope. This of the terms of dead lakes. That's the spirit of life in Christ Jesus that dwells inside of us friends. There is a possibility. There is a potential there is a grace and God that many of us never experience never know. But Psalm 91 invites you all the way in to that Safe Pl. in God.

Nothing I write back with your false.

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 was a office with a God really visited him and shown him that this virus would be short-lived that you return quickly or vaccine come around quickly. If it's a true words that have to happen quickly if not, we say it was a false word right pretty simple. May it be true for the sake of everyone involved in those suffering and all the upheaval and whatever deaths there are as tragic as it is they are, then there is the larger upheaval of society.

And then there's the effect on the economy and people's lives in the big ripple effect. So we should be praying for God's intervention, and then looking to be used as God's agents of mercy looking to be those for the faith to pray for those in need. 866-34-TRUTH let's go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Jordan, thanks much for holding and welcome to the line of fire. Hi Dr. Brown I had a question about next 1520 yet where the Gentiles are told to refrain from sexual immorality. Two idols strangled animals that affect blood, and I understand that you know obviously salvation doesn't end on that instruction, but I also don't actually discounted because you know there's a told that it would be well to do so, but by the main question is what are first applied. It seems to allow time to simply but like blood that are still in the animal at all. I'm just curious if that's how it would've been thought of them Norton I know there's a lot of Jewish law that pertains to all sorts of different types of blood and cleanup. I just don't know how that would've been interpreted at the time for someone nobody's trying to do well with that without the yet so it's interesting that some of the laws mention have to do with with food laws you think. Why would that be so high on the list north there more important things to put their with the normal understanding with that is as it had to do with basic table fellowship with Jew and Gentile. In other words, that that these things were so clearly forbidden by God in Scripture and even some of them forbidden to the whole world you know back in Genesis certain principles to live by for the whole world that just for basic table fellowship between Jew and Gentile. This would be kind of a minimal thing for Gentiles to to live by. There is question about the word fornication of sexual morality does it mean sexual morality broadly or did it spit specifically point incest which many Gentiles did not think was with sinful know there's debate about those things but obviously not worshiping idols starting their sexual morality, just basic sexual purity within the food laws as far as we understand when it just says blood so things strangled that we go back to Genesis the ninth chapter of it.

As far as blood in the understanding would be that because blood was sacred and that life was in the blood that you were not to drink the blood of an animal or eat an animal with the blood in it. It doesn't mean that it had to be sacrificed.

According to two Jewish customer Jewish law, but it had to do with just the pagan practice of just eating food with blood in it so it's again it's not a salvific thing and if lessee were given a meal to eat and found out afterwards that there was little animal blood in the meal does not defile you spiritually.

Jesus explained that that which you put in your mouth goes out the other side goes in one side was at the other side and does not affect you spiritually. It's what comes out of the heart that affects you spiritually, but this was something that God wanted Gentiles to understand the sacredness of and also for basic table fellowship with Jews, it was something to be avoided. So once more.

It doesn't mean that the animal had to be sacrificed in accordance with Jewish law, but the prohibition of eating, drinking blood was certainly something that called one of the Gentiles in the whole world proved to live by recollection, yet you are very welcome Jordan. Appreciate the call 86634 let's go to Franklin, Louisiana Angelica, welcome to the line of fire. Yet yet, go ahead like walking got three time help Eric like it. I it appeared like you know I can't count them out to go yet it's it's it's a great question. You know if if the were praying about marrying someone do really like not gutter on the first time up, got on the second time got runs and needs time. God, sing, marry Ami that would be scary right or you Lord you you call me the pastor yes pastor stirs and fails Lord Julie: pastor yes take this church that fails then the third one that works so obviously it's not we should be expecting and it's not in terms of the common way that God does lead in Scripture you know when you really seek him earnestly that he opens the door. He shuts the door. Remixes will plane so for sure this is not the norm for believers, but the only the only things you could get from it. One would be with God bringing into a place of greater desperation. Was he bringing them to a place of greater dependence. Was he bringing to place to cry out like they hadn't cried out before, maybe they were looking to him, but also looking to their own strengths. Maybe they were looking to him and had mixed motives, so there must've been something God was doing through the snow as if everything had been right right out right after the start.

Only this would've happened. So there must've been something else going on either lack of real faith in their part or lack of real dependence on their part or lack of earnestness. The other thing is, this wasn't an intertribal war in Israel. The other tribes coming against Benjamin and it was it was a time of terrible suffering for all of Israel. Maybe there is judgment purging on all sides.

Maybe there are other things that were going on the cob was working on all at the same time so you have to read between the lines and surmise right with those would be some of the things I would surmise it's certainly not the expected pattern. It's it's certainly not the way we should live our lives like the old, the Lord says go left is a creek into a crash there. Go right crash there not go straight know again that will be instilling acts 16: steam on the go. Only God's is now the one to another with no the nieces go this way. That's what you would expect, so you know, just like with Gideon when God called him to go to battle God and do the purging and stripping his Gideon kept wanting more assurance more assurance than God's okay will it after a few hundred people is that a 20+ thousand you will down to a few hundred people, and there was a process that he went through must've been something going on but beyond that, it's, it's your guess is as good as mine. But does this make sense just in terms of deeper things God might want to get out of them. In this process out all all love bless you. Thanks. Thanks for your patience and great talking to be well. God bless, hate living just take a couple more moments on through the Jewish Thursday to say. As expected, the surprise here, you knew this was coming.

There are people who say that is Israel is responsible. Israel is responsible for the car manufacturing.

It okay they manufactured which is why they've had to deal with strictly in Israel as well and why they've basically quarantine the nation, probably over 70,000 and in quarantine in recent days, but then anyone coming into the country. That means tour groups are just held up right now doubling our org tour for mail be fine. We've emailed everyone about that. We don't know were planning on leaving for it, but if you came in right now you just it is rarely coming back your quarantine for two weeks your seminar just had plans to go when you go on anyway. Your quarantine for it for two weeks so Israel made it but I guess Israel and think ahead.

Gosh, there are those arguing that this is manufactured in China release the thing came from China and then got a weapon eyes against America and the world and all this is legal matter, although it's me just another theory but we do know that the cause of the origin of the Jews rose getting a point, especially if less Jews die because of because of hygiene because of keeping Mosaic law because of extra quarantining. But during the black plague that decimated Europe centuries ago, maybe 1/3 of Europe was wiped out by Jews suffered too many Jews die, but not as many percentagewise because of Jewish law and and laws about separation and cleanliness and hygiene and things like that. This is kept them a little safer so they can caught this math Jews poisoned the wells, yet they used animal parts and elements of the Lord's supper. Again people believe this, and Jews were slaughtered for allegedly poisoning the wells. This is the madness of anti-Semitism and and and if in fact Israel develops the first vaccine for the virus and he gets out quickly and spreads quickly. Well that's brokers as proof that Israel made the virus because they came up with the effects of a text that's just the way the madness works tragically, if you've not yet read my book, our hands are stained with blood after all. 27 years in continuous print from 92 to 2019.

We did an updated new edition expanded eye-opening but we get into the history of anti-Semitism. We show you the madness of it really show in church history than God's eternal purposes for Israel. All right, may I encourage you seek to live in some 91 and be pragmatic wise hair talk again tomorrow
