Abraham, Moses, Joel, and the Promise of the Spirit

The promise of the Spirit. Paul spoke about the Old Testament spoke about why is it so important stage for the line of fire, your host, activist, author, 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 by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown (delighted to be with you. Look at some fascinating Scriptures and perhaps raise some questions for you that you have not thought about previously.

If you have a Jewish related question for me. 866-34-TRUTH 866-348-7884 and even though it's thoroughly Jewish Thursday.

If you were trying to get in yesterday with a call and weren't able to speak with my guest raise concerns about Christ alignment rep. Question for me.

We will take some calls about that that only towards the beginning of the show, 86634 okay, I promise that the end of yesterday show that I would weigh in with a few more thoughts at the beginning of this show. So let me tell you why.

Yesterday show happen to me first make a larger statement is not my job is not my role is that my calling to police everything that happens in the church or everything that happens in the charismatic church. It is the role of no human being on the planet to be God's policeman for the entire church in that one person is right they can fix incorrect everything else there's a ton of stuff that I do that is corrective and is part of our ministry as leaders and shepherds in the body to correct and rebuke, and teach instruct and edify. So there many things I have written that are corrective. There are whole books that I've written that are corrective their whole broadcast of them are corrective behind the scenes. I'm often reaching out, but it is things that I get burned about by the Lord. It is things that I see happening in widescale through the body there.

There are issues that are particularly grievous that we deal with, but even in that respect, we can do everything. So we have to have a specific calling in and follow the Lord's leading and you were supposed to do so if someone says what about this thing over here and it so I never heard about people I never heard about what you look into it if from what I can tell it's not White's widespread. It's not mainstream itself makes a hyper grace that became very much widespread. It's it's not like certain common charismatic abuses stay with a with a hyper prosper in a carnal prosperity message that's widespread these things have dealt with have written about of spoken about specifically in detail for for many many years as they come up right so it's just some something out there. It may be with three people or 3000 or 50,000 somewhere but it's very fringe in terms of the overall unless I feel burden to look into am not going to. After you sent almost every day people are sometimes multiple multiple multiple times a day.

Dr. Modi think about this, we think about this with the theme of this review, this one with this when you get to correct this criticism of this not appreciate people asking but understand if I responded to those requests of the screen totally candid with you if I responded to please watch this video and comment. Please read this article, please check out this book and comment. If I did that and you wrote to me today send Dr. Brown give me your precious on this video. My honest response would be absolutely you're on the list and I will get you in about 40 years younger said it is completely impossible to look at everything that I master, nor is it my calling to be the one state. That's good as I could write wrong there okay in point of fact, if I did that I'd be giving the cessation us with noncosmetic day and night because the denial of gifts of the spirit and and errors in their teaching at Sotheby's refocus on that day and night right so when I heard about Christ.

A lot of good, bad, the weight was present was very bad but I also know that the hyper critics can't be trusted that they will post things that are years older people are leaving practice forever since repudiated the take things out of context so II give no credence to the hyper critics okay and ignore my going to go on a rabbit trail and prove my worth as I okay got announcer Dr. Brown. Announcer Brown announced this one unless you announce this when we don't what kind of nonsense is that there prove my orthodoxy by now going through the list of your latest people that you disagree with whatever okay in any case, minor play that game. It's a waste of time is like a minister to those that are hungry and thirsty that recall, to touch and help and serve through the word of God by the Spirit of God.

So anyway, I heard about the group didn't know what they were doing and just say I don't know about following it. I'm not looking into it.

I read very little I said it may be some creative way to do outreach, or it may be totally bad. Okay, what was we presented it was present as a creative way to do outreach and in the way others presented it and looking at it raise great concerns that was it and subject didn't bring it up again didn't pursue it all right pursuing a ton of other things day and night. So then then couple weeks ago. Question came up again and was suggested to me by team everyone shoot just take that one from Facebook so I responded to it the same way. What I've heard is a creative way outreach could be.

Is it is it something really bad stay away from could be. I don't know. Haven't looked into it you will a hyper critics they put all customers I don't follow them. I will follow them to listen to them and when I've seen them slander when exiting the bear false witness would have seen the misrepresent what I've seen them mock things of the spirit beautiful things.

The spirit will live.

What I've seen them damned to hell men and women of God or mock them after their death, like sorry this I pray for you. I pray for you to really encounter the goodness of the Lord and embrace the full truth of his word, but not going to play your game.

In any case. In any case so after I made those comments. We were then contacted by Ken and Jenny Hodge Christ alignment and Jenny offered to come on the show are Ken and Jenny come on the show explain their views. I said great. So I went into it saying let's find out what they believe and who they are right. That was my mentality and before before the show. When I saw that one of the hyper critics had linked me in Facebook and copy me. I gave a personal note, I hope you call lights of the door was wide open and I kept given the invitation through the show posted on social media, inviting the hyper critics to call or write constructive criticism was wonderful. We can have our differences within the body hypercritical attitude spirit is destructive and is far more harm than he does good. Okay. And candidly, am far more concerned about that widespread hyper criticism that we see throughout the church then and aberrant stream here have been screened there affecting limited numbers of people. So I had Jenny on here's what concerned.

I never heard a clear gospel presentation.

I asked a number of times I was told we priestess rose preaching the Bible and you have to announcer the spirit God's power, but I at and at no point did I hear clear gospel presentation. I asked for it several times right to the end of the show. Basically, I never heard it that concerned me that concern many viewers and listeners to me for good reason, right as posted afterwards. I don't doubt her sincerity.

There was a take people with their worth saving believe that that many hyper critics a sincere, okay, take people at their work right and I believe she wants to leave people. Jesus, that's what I surmised, hearing what she does and why they do what they do, but I was deeply concerned about this. The lack of a clear gospel message I got no clear answer to to the use of cards why those use like I don't endorse that.

I don't agree with that let you doing readings don't don't endorse the don't agree with that and in addition to that, after the show.

One of my colleagues that he watches for this is the first time I watched an increase video and it showed her using stones and what she contact me. They said that was old we don't do that okay fun so they they don't use stones, but the way they do things. I had great concerns about the idea of getting constant third heaven revelation and then people having Jesus appeared to them raise major questions to me whether it's really Jesus appearing to them and there was a terrible misuse of of Joseph talk about how he can use divination as if we could use divination and I mentioned that on the show so I feel the same way. I don't doubt their sincerity, and that there will be people Jesus but I'm gravely concerned as to whether their preacher clear gospel message. I have many many questions about Jesus just appearing to people like this that these New Age vessels.

I believe Jesus doesn't appear people today. I believe that I believe Muslims those having dreams and visions, I believe, is visiting New Age is absolutely believe that right that I have grave concerns about the lack of gospel message clear message that's presented. I have grave concerns about some of the methodology.

I don't endorse it. I don't agree with it. So what's the critics take on the show. I've just been sent headlines proud endorses which or ground lease, which is that's that that's why you really don't want to give the time of the day to the hyper critics the way they can to represent things misrepresent things and of course they know for sure that this is a witch going to help sleep no answer to God for that not to me because I'm not the person's Savior. Either way during the show people posting comments and this is what concerned.

I know it no issue whatsoever for people having all kinds of of concerns and issues that not know. I've concerns and issues.

Okay and I inviting Jenny on the show is not as it is beginning a measure to defend or to choose. That's why took the whole show Estes many questions I could give as much opportunity things to be presented clearly what I'd encourage Jenny Christ alignment to do if you feel that your misrepresent it even though I gave ample time, I would encourage you to put out a really clear statement of what you believe the gospel is, I'd encourage you to do that put out a crystal clear statement. This is what we preach. This is what we believe. If someone comes under our tent.

They may not hear this that have the first moment we open our mouths, but if they're open. This is the message they will hear."

Others don't put a statement of faith. But this is what we tell this is who we tell them Jesus is. This is what we tell him why he died. This is what we tell about his resurrection.

This is what we tell about what it means to be a disciple and repentance and lay it out clearly.

All right, lay it out clearly and truthfully, this is what people will actually hear right I never heard that yesterday. Therefore, I have major concerns and again those who raise major concerns over the perfectly fine those who say we question whether she's really preaching the gospel, not I understand why your semi-based on okay then we so the but people were posting things that were so outrageously false that were so grievous that that concerns me even more. Okay here we go off it. Yet Brisbane apologist for the devil. I really pray for these guys but may the Lord have mercy on them with the Lord. Use them for good and bring to repentance for denying Scripture and sinning against the spirit may the Lord be gracious to them on that mad at them but I agree I averaged out behind the scenes to different leaders of these different organizations. Of course, many thought all by the way, before I get back to some of the nonsense that was posted friends and then we get into the today subject about the promise of the Spirit in Scripture. I want credit Justin peters. We've had our differences publicly, but emailed me the other day with the statement he had heard from someone alleging I had said certain things and he said is true.

I just want to know, and I said no completely misrepresented, so I want to commend him for reaching out to private herself. That's the way we should view it and then if we have our differences. Afterwards, I will light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 8663 here again is Dr. Michael Brown just got a handful of seats left under me tour ended in February out late February. So if you go in Israel with us. You gotta sign up now just a handful of seats left for the tour of a lifetime.

Grandma would say that Esther Gibran Askey dear Brown.org and then you see it right on the home page join us now reimport for coming. Gotta gotta get your your funds and so we can be together in amazing amazing trip. All right, it is thoroughly Jewish Thursday and open up the Jewish Scriptures in a mold and open up the Scriptures in a moment, and we can get some calls as well so please be patient but here in real time. I want to illustrate for you. Why I ignore the hyper critics and why pray for their repentance. I was just sent this link on Facebook, pulpit and pen of Jordan Hall says this, Dr. Brown, you defended Hill song vehemently in wake of their inclusion of a gay choir of gay choir directors in New York.

You never retract your support of defendant Hill song in their lasciviousness in their lascivious Christmas trip show you defendant Kenneth Copeland's private jets you defendant Carl Lentz after making pro abortion comments on Oprah you claim Bethel had nothing to do with great sucking defendant Bill Johnson when it was his wife's second gracefulness agreement and never attract your defense of them.

You and apologist for Satan's or sewage or not.

I forgive you for slandering and I forgive you for labeling me in a in a way that really displeases the Lord and makes a mockery of your own walk with the Lord. Sucker forgive you publicly, but not to set the record straight and correct you publicly as I've done privately only to get your marketing attacking responses when I reach out graciously and yes feel free to release the full context of our emails back and forth with nothing that out. Feel free with the world. We let them see how so to reach out in times past. In any case, I didn't defend Hill song vehemently, I question what actually happened. I challenged Hill song on their views and when Hill song put out a public statement saying that they did not affirm homosexual practice. I commended them for ask Brian Euston if he looks at me as an apologist of Hill song or a critic of Hill song asked Brian use Timothy looks at me as an advocate or thorn in the flesh. Okay I challenge what happened. I looked into it I made it very clear that I was being misrepresented my position told her privately to correct things you didn't okay so reappears the read everything I wrote about it but Helsel came out with a positive statement. I then commended them for that and when I asked Hill song directly to suggest people were involved, but the way it was being put foods misrepresented so I gave their position as well. Right based on what they said someone number two did not defend their quote lascivious Christmas transcription was in the Scripture.

Okay, didn't get naked right.

I did not defendant. I wrote against it. I wrote against it. I raised grave concerns about the worldliness of art that's that's a fact. That is a blatant lie misrepresentation. I defendant Kevin Cope's private jets. No I didn't. I never did. I speak against the Col. prosperity message and have for decades. Unwaveringly I said sometimes it can be in the ministry's best interest to have a private jet. I have friends of mine with large ministries that brought jets that were used jets that were several hundred thousand dollars, not millions and that were shared with others and things like that and it was actually good stewardship because of their travel and business schedule.

I never defendant Kenneth Copeland's private jets with Creflo Dollar was raising money for his jet. I said I wrote an article why Chris was not getting any of my dollars okay again blatant misrepresentation you defendant Carl Lentz after making pro abortion comments on Oprah on the trip. It was Oprah or another show I reached out to Carl directly and urged him to post a statement on his view of abortion. I did not like the way that he said things and felt that it was weak. I reached out to him. I spoke with him directly.

He affirm to me how much he opposes abortion and wants to be a voice for pro-life. I urged him to put out a statement to that effect which he did so it was a II absolutely hated the way he put it on the show felt it was weak and wrong and misleading.

Therefore reached out to him and he made a public statement saying what he did beliefs. Again, every line here misrepresented you claim Bethel had nothing to do with great sucking defendant Bill Johnson was his wife's second grace photos prove okay and defend them all.

Great sucking great sucking thing is ridiculous. This is on biblical and stupid.

And there were some people from Bethel involved about in it and when Bill Johnson heard about it, he publicly repudiated, as did Chris Mallinson write so that is not their policy when I'm with his wife or not. I don't know I wasn't there.

I'm not defending it. I'm simply saying Bill Johnson said we don't practice it, it's wrong. Yes, some people did it when they found out they repudiated right and that is that simple. So every line there is false every line there is a misleading live now in God's sight. What's a greater concern. What's a greater concern bearing false witness stirring up dissension misrepresenting leaders, slandering leaders okay which is a greater concern in God's sight for someone doing this with liver following 1/2 or for someone using aberrant practices to try to reach new agers with few thousand people about all I have grave concerns don't endorse that don't agree with her. What's the bigger concern.

The bigger issue for suit during the show yesterday there was 1 gallon of Micah mentioned in my Capote post put these up because I don't want to embarrass her right but she kept posting leave you had them on your show know the these people cry slightly pen runner show before and they had them on again a year later. False.

I noticed my assistant Dylan corrected.

It is not true what he could defendant defend your never defendant then what is video proof of the video prove the opposite.

So posting why after lie after lie after lie when I'm looking here, one, two, three, four, five, six, and 12 posts, most of which were blatant lies until the personnel blocked just like a letter or social media be the platform for posting materialize here lately. This I I see this on twitter. It's it's the guys account of the person's accounts: I'm watching you write you correct for this, this was yesterday. I will stay very far from you as you and your wife are very known as false, very well known as false preachers your wife like flying into Scott's eye because he thought I was Bill Johnson and my wife Nancy was Betty Johnson.

This is the common nonsense that's out there day and night. Now I want to present something to there is there is a famine.

There is a drought. People are dying of thirst, but there is a a series of warehouses with hundreds of thousands of cartons containing millions of bottles of water and that water is life giving and life changing and can save the lives of tens of millions of people right but people have it under lock and key and say it doesn't exist. No one can have a right now thousand miles away. There is a tiny little stream that few hundred people can drink from, but the water there is poison right is that a concern. Yes. Should I be concerned about those few hundred people and warn them about that water, yes, but shouldn't the bigger concern. Shouldn't the greater concern be this that that healthy life giving water is being held up locked up so that the people that could drink from it cannot and its existence is being denied. Isn't that the greater concern that tens of millions have the life-giving water withheld from them. The answer obviously yes.

That's why I'm far more concerned with the damage being done by the hyper critics mocking the things of the spirit denying the things in the spirit taking the most extreme example and trying to make that normative denying what Scripture plainly says about the Holy Spirit denying the spirits glorious work all over the planet today which is touching hundreds and hundreds of millions of people to the glory of God, to the glory of God and in accordance with the word of God, I'm far more concerned with that there ministry that may be reaching a few thousand people with aberrant practices or or message that's lacking.

I'm concerned about that all all raise that notion, but the bigger issue is the life-giving waters that are being withheld from others and minister? If you read through the New Testament which has greater emphasis which is greater emphasis in the New Testament the importance of discernment and importance of love is the sermon important absolutely. Absolutely. But what's even more important.

Love no love is not undiscerning love is not untruthful, but what is more important in the sight of God. Discernment or love throughout the New Testament record level to another level in the call to do it over and over and over. This is a new commandment, Jesus is love one another as I have loved you, recall to preserve unity recall to follow truth and to speak the truth in love when I see it is so tragic. It is so damaging.

It is so harmful is so polluting is false. Reports are spread. This is not based on love. This is based on God knows what it's based on, let him be the judge, but you can. You can be as sharp as the Pharisees were quoting their traditions and knowing Scripture and yet miss the heart of the gospel, by the way, the reason that I'm especially sensitive to this is because late 70s early 80s I I was gone the way of hyper criticism myself in denying the things of the spirit for today and even mocking questioning the things that God was doing gunner the home will be in touch. We are fresh with the spirit because of what's written in the work. Our friends have made myself as clear as I can and we move on you looking to the words of Thomas Hall. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown, the early Thursday he or dealing in Australia heading your way of living this weekend different meeting in different city.

One day in New Zealand and five days in Australia to let travel back and forth. Can't wait to be with you.

We got some special programming here and want to fire and my good friend Dr. Alex McFarlane will be sitting in his guest host for some of the days next week you'll love the show so is take a look in Galatians chapter 3 we get your calls 866-34-TRUTH Galatians 3 verse 1O foolish Galatians was bewitched you as before your eyes, that Jesus the Messiah was publicly portrayed as crucified me ask you only this, did you receive the spirit but works of the law or by hearing with faith is reason the TLB L want to find out this one thing for me. Did you receive the rule. Off by deeds based on Torah or by hearing based on trust, so notice that Paul points to the receiving of the spirit is something that was very important in their lives. Something notable, something markable so I asked every follower of Jesus today. Can you point to when you receive the spirit, the importance of receiving the spirit, the importance of the Spirit's work in your life today is something that major that memorable now as we go down in Galatians 3, Paul is set says this of verse 13, Galatians 313 Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written, cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree in order so EE died for us. What an order that through Messiah issue through Jesus the Messiah the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles. So look at this we might receive the promise of this.

Through faith, this is big in Paul's mind this is big this is part of the Abraham, a blessing that we might receive the promise of the Spirit that this is an Abraham make blessing promises the whole world is blessed, we receive the spirit now John chapter 7 right it's the feast of Tabernacle, Sukkoth, and it ended with that you have these daily water processions.

It was this majestic things to the image of water living waters is there in front of the people at passages like Zechariah 14, Ezekiel 47 would be right about living water. So then John chapter 7 let's go down to the end of that chapter and see what it says in verse 37 John 737 says this on the last and greatest day of the feast, Yeshua stood up and cried out loudly if anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture says, out of his innermost being willful rivers of living water. Now he said this about the spirit from those who trusted in the written receipt for the spirit is not yet given since Yeshua was not yet glorified. So it was good to be something different for believers.

On the other side of the cross the believers before that.

Yes, the Holy Spirit were to the prophetess, the Holy Spirit instructed David is the Holy Spirit worked among the people of Israel is the Holy Spirit's presence was manifest in ancient Israel, but there was going to be a giving of the spirit that would be such that it would be definite and clear and glorious and then if you go to back to the Hebrew Bible back to the Hebrew Scriptures and remember when Moses was overwhelmed with the burden of caring for all Israel, and God told him the numbers. The 11th chapter that he would take the spirit from him and share it with the 70 elders in his commentary is a point that it's like one candle lights all the others without diminishing its own lights of the spirit remain on Moses. But now, spirit was also given to the 70 elders, but two of them L that in a dead did not follow the directives they were supposed to be out in one location. Instead, they were back in the camp and they were prophesying, and Joshua hears about it with Easter Seals is Moses sure shut them up. Is there prophesying and they're not supposed to be doing it there. And Moses said the year you're upset for me. He said, would that all the Lord's people were prophets that he provided spirit on all of them, even though that was just a desire Moses expressed it becomes a promise, it becomes a hope that that Joel the prophet says in Joel 228 when he reached 31. That God would pour out his Spirit on all flesh. And that's why this promise of the Spirit is now realized and asked you it is a promise for the entire agent title do a whole teaching on that within the next old 10 days the whole teaching on with the Scripture says about these things, but just notice the promise of the spirit, the blessing of the spirit.

It it is absolutely crucial important it is something promised.

It is something wonderful aright and in acts 19 Paul as the believers in recent efforts did you receive the spirit you believed I would encourage you that there is a rich is a richness to the Spirit's presence and power and gifts that many of us have not really experienced, but by the word of God is something promised to us 866-34-TRUTH of art. I just want to jump right in here and go to Kendra in Toronto hey Kendra, what's up, meaning you're getting here.

I can imagine what it's like to be pregnant I'm a man can imagine what it's like to feel the baby moving in that it's not moving the week before. To date, so many moms you have the pray right now. Thank all right 866342 of let's go to Josh in Spokane Washington. Thanks so much for holding Josh. Welcome to the line of fire are my pleasure. My pleasure to pray our world… My question is about the root problem. What was the relationship in terms of religious and spiritual authority between the Sanhedrin and the temple and the broader Jewish people of the first century BC and A.D. yet so it is as far as the development of the priest of the temple, the Sanhedrin, by the time you get into the days of Jesus in the later second Temple. The Sanhedrin was largely dominated by Sadducees, it was divided weeks, we see that later in the book of acts, and, for example, ask the 23rd chapter, but was largely led by the Sanhedrin and therefore the high priest have a prominent role in the Sadducees had the priesthood and the Sadducees were temple based so the great issue with them was temple authority and then the larger governance of of the people in the settling of religious disputes and things like that. The Pharisees were not temple based and this is what into the prevailing with the destruction of the temple so the Pharisees developed ID of synagogues, so you have these places to read the Scriptures and pray, and you go to the temple temple was still considered sacred by the Pharisees, but the religion was somewhat decentralized and of course the Pharisees claimed to have traditions that went back to the elders and ultimately that this it went all the way back to Moses and things like that so all bottom line is that the Sanhedrin very much and in harmony with the temple based Jerusalem-based authority and then with the destruction of the temple, then there has to be kind of a broader restructuring of of Sanhedrin and ultimately it ceases to exist with the Pharisees then become the primary leaders of the people and it's not the high priest so much because there's not a functioning temple, the high priest is his much less important now. Over time, and it's now the pharisaical religion which becomes rabbinic Judaism over the centuries art. Thank you yeah and in one of the things Josh there are Jewish scholars is my friend Rabbi Shmuel is we've debated that will say that the high priest was corrupt or the high priest was it was a lackey of Rome or something like that so they would feel that that's a legitimate criticism and therefore some of the New Testament critique of the high priest they would necessarily disagree with, but they would disagree with off-peak of the Pharisees and things like that but that the that the high priest was was in collusion with Rome or or that he was he was, not the spiritual, religious, our authority was supposed to because of compromise. There are many who would see that we became much more of a power struggle and factor the Hasmonean dynasty that the high priest also function as the king. So thank you sir.

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 slaying someone not being beautiful song song, but your full song will love those lyrics of Mr. right in little over 40 minutes and 42 minutes will be right back here on YouTube. Esther Karen SK Dearborn on YouTube during our weekly exclusive YouTube chat so you don't want to miss that.

Be doing that, beginning 430 Eastern standard Time, and many of you who have questions, issues. He didn't get the call in about roots, you're not able to call and we get to have that discussion.

I get to as many questions as I can on YouTube. All right, 86634 let's go to Jesse in West St. Paul, Minnesota. Welcome to the line of fire. Hi Dr. Brown, great to be on.

Thank you alright so my question pertains to act 20 acts 922.

It's a fascinating.

Because in it. You see that Paul is just gotten saved and now the first thing he does is start to proclaim the name of Jesus and all that and this was before. I assume before he really went to his hard-core study of the Bible and had relation from Jesus know that bright day in the and acts 922, it said, but Saul increased all of them more in strength and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ knock think that my question pertains to this word proving because that seems like an absolutely phenomenal statement that that Paul was able to do something like actually prove that Jesus was the Messiah, and I was just wondering if you could begin to that and and and you don't.

So often we think that it takes faith and it does but does it does this verse imply that there is some proof out there, yes.

So first is a fascinating thing to wonder what he preached. Right with Scripture. He used what arguments he used especially because he's brand-new so because he had so much of the word in his heart and mind are ready so they memorize massive portions of Scripture, God could now begin to illuminate an open things up for him right so that's that's that's one thing. And great question as to what it was. And yet the Greek does say proving most all translations of the slick one after another, say, proving effectively.

Just look at the note in the the NET yell showing for certain, but let me address that larger thing when I wrote my doctoral dissertation I said we prove this week and that some of the professors said wrong language. Don't use that language say instead demonstrated demonstrated so that I I demonstrated this point as a poster. I proved to because this is that's you know that means it's accepted or you know it's going to for so basically what it's saying is this, obviously, there are people still did believe right there were people who heard it and didn't believe or mark the messenger rejected but you can say is, he gave a clear and certain case that Jesus was the Messiah of Scripture. I've so you do that through the decades, debating rabbis that that here it is really for example, I can say I can prove to you that the gifts of the Spirit are for today based on Scripture while delivering you get it accepted our dissent mean I I'm going to give a definitive argument for that and if we follow it logically in Scripture what will come to this conclusion. So that's the way I understand that it's it's not that he proved it in a way that no one can argue with right like I just prove you're watching from your eyes. Here's Jesus or something like that are here these verses and is no other possible way to interpret it rather gay but he gave definitive arguments that Jesus was the Messiah, and he couldn't answer him, and that's racy to do. Whenever we preach the gospel again to apologetics give definitive arguments based on Scripture that in order to refute. You have to deny the plain sense of Scripture or you have to translate something differently or you have to know refused to think this thing through. That being said, we understand that when it comes to Scripture. Many people you read things differently, which is why we pray for humility, which is what we pray. The people have ears to hear, which is what we know that the Holy Spirit also has to open our hearts and minds, but thank God I love the question I appreciated Jesse right sure thing 866-34-TRUTH let's go that Terry and Raleigh, North Carolina.

Welcome to the line of fire. Thank you got your book court court after a lot of Jewish rabbi poked all the great at what you go all out, but while also turning point.

What did you no longer you yet. The turning point was the destruction of the Temple Terry that not only are all yeah it's it's it's that simple. That the temple was the place ordained by God with sacrifices were to be offered and if the temple was destroyed, they could not offer sacrifice. So the question would be when the temple was destroyed and now almost 2000 years later, has still not been rebuilt, is that God withheld that from the Jewish people and said you're under judgment.

You can no longer offer sacrifices or has he said the old system is done and I provided with the system was pointing towards mainly the Messiah, who died for the sins of Israel, but in the sins of the world, but in point of fact, after Jesus died and rose from the dead, sacrifices were offered for another 40 years and and as La was standing when the temple was destroyed, then the sacrifices were no longer offered.

So it was simply that at that that was the ordained place with the sacrifices were to be offered and in the absence of the temple.

It would be sinful to offer sacrifices to build altars and other places and therefore it hasn't been done. It's part of our message to say to the Jewish people God has provided a better way.

God has provided with the temple was looking forward to sacrifice for sins through the perfect sacrifice of the Messiah. Thank you sir for calling.

Let's go to Rainey in Dallas Texas. Welcome to the line of fire.

Good afternoon question you mention it already went and our Eric. I apologize that I regard the applicant of waiting until a lot during out and is there any other technical where there it, waiting on branch of earth for kind yet so that the palm prints question comes in. For example, in in the you got revelation that the seventh chapter and you know this. It is a speaking of Tabernacles and you got some of the right some of these very species being waived and this is the harvest the entire harvest of the nations or is it is and harkening back to rather the triumphal entry was that was up. The waving of the palm branches is much as laying these things down to make a path, but if you go to kebab.org its ultra-Orthodox Jewish organization that they have lots of Q&A in terms of rabbinic tradition because this is this is later.

Been a tradition we don't know when it actually began. But it says that here each day of the holiday of Sukkoth excluding the Sabbath, we move the four species Sulu love and trunks of the these various natural elements here are held up and weighed again. How ancient is the custom, we don't know, but it's not commanded to do in the Specific Way in Scripture we do it four species live on a truck set three times in each of six directions immediately after resetting the blessing, many do this by extending the four species needs direction eastward southward westward, and northward then facing east upwards and downwards.

According to the car ballistic so this is mystical excavation taught by Rabbi Isaac Luria is like 500 years ago you asked extend the species southward northward eastward up or down when westward after each movement. The Lou love in a truck or brought towards the heart, then you have these various other groups. They do it differently according to the Mr. Goss exclamation South represents kindness has said North's discipline or power crew raw East disharmony Irby or glory to ferret up his perseverance nets off down the submission hold West this connection you sold and you bring the four species toward the heart is communication or multitude kingdom. It's based basically on Jewish tradition, and some of it is mystical, but there is no scriptural command to do that particular thing sought by the way Ichabod we're added back and forth. I was on trying to win them to the Lord there telling me I'm wrong, but if you want to find out about traditional Jewish belief. This explains why can get a ride anywhere. Around all of that particular trackball and each line mentioned that the waiting extract I remember angry when I will know it's it's not right that the point is the point that I'm making is the specific tradition even designated that it's it's these exact things that are being used right and that they are waived in particular ways.

This is developed by tradition or even the building of the sukkah. It has to be exact specifications, which according to rabbinic tradition were given to Moses on Mount Sinai. Those are the things where we we take issue and differ, but the largest celebration and some of the customs involved with it. Great wonderful and and then some of the rabbinic tradition develops. Listen to nothing.

It's like sinful to do the thing but to think that God commanded it, and that this each specific has specific meaning that I would highly question is much as understand what would be Reggie just presenting some to the Lord your little wave presenting it to him as opposed this means this and this means that this is no Scripture to support the right friends 30 minutes from now.

The man asked to run is exclusive
