What Israel Needs the Most

So what did the people of Israel need more than anything will answer the today stage for the line of fire with 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 the fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome welcome friends to our thoroughly Jewish Thursday broadcasts.

This is Michael Brown. Phone lines are open for Jewish related questions. So if it's a Hebrew question if it's a question about Judaism, Jewish tradition, if it's a question about messianic prophecy.

Question about Israel, the Jewish people today any of those fit on a thoroughly Jewish Thursday or about the elections right now was happening currently.

866-34-TRUTH 87884 866-34-TRUTH's number to call. I'm gonna unpack a little bit more where we stand with the Israeli elections, but it's really very fluid.

This will make sure you understand the dynamics and we talked about some on Tuesday, but I want to revisit that now that that the votes are basically all, just about all counted and explain where things stand and how things work.

But before we get into any of that before we get your calls or answer this question about what the people of Israel need more than anything, is it a strong economy because without a strong economy they can have a strong national defense without a strong national defense, though, gets destroyed by hostile neighbors. Is it perhaps peaceful relations with their Palestinian Arab Muslim neighbors is is that the biggest thing Israel needs this Israel need primarily harmony because there is such a rift between the secular left and the religious right is that with Israel needs more than anything. All these things are important in all these things are worthy of attention, and all these things with the prayer but I'm gonna bottom line it and say exactly what you expect me to say, the people of Israel need Jesus. The people of Israel need Yeshua the Messiah. No one else will solve the problems. Nothing else will answer the ultimate questions and even if you have peace in this world that's quite secondary to the bigger issue of eternity and being right with God in this world and in the world to come. Traditional Judaism will not save the Jewish people know in the Toronto if it does not lead to the Messiah will not say the Jewish people call basis of replanning.

Romans three yes theoretically if you could live a righteous life just by the law of God written on your hearts and your righteous if you could live a righteous life by following the commands of the tower than your righteous but rather the Toronto enabling us to live a righteous life it it reveals her scent the Troy in it of itself and and Paul says plainly in Romans seven is holy and just go.

The commandment is holy and just and good. Everything about it is right and good.

Okay and even even in areas where, for example, Matthew 19 Jesus explains that divorce was given at all because the hearts of human hearts.

Still, what's there is far better than what human beings would come to on their own far better than the surrounding cultures, and in the law, we get a revelation of the character nature of God. So the law itself is beautiful and wonderful.

Don't covet it is is beautiful and wonderful motel commode and he was beautiful and wonderful. But Paul says that commandment cost sin to come alive in him and in other words, is just like you walking past her wall when you're a kid you know and and there you see it you don't touch what paint what's the first thing your your money touch it right, don't look at this all what you want to look, don't think about this on what more can I think about that that human nature. So the more that we tried to obey the Torah, the more that we seek to live in obedience to the Torah, the harder we try, if were honest with ourselves were sensitive to the conviction of the spirit we recognize we fall short and then when you add on the many rabbinic traditions that that are more stringent in many ways in it. On further commands beyond what God gave in the written Torah becomes even more and more difficult, or just that the foundational command love the Lord your God with all your heart will resolve all your strength. Who does that perfectly ever and and who tries hard to do that without recognizing that there/there's pride there's distraction. There is this lack of devotion. The more righteous a person is the less righteous they think they are because they realize how far they have fallen short of God's perfect righteousness. So faithfulness to the Toronto means a recognition that we need atonement and a recognition that we need the Messiah and that we need a great high priest intercede for us and we need a prophet to bring God's words was in other words, we need an intermediary or series of intermediaries and what we ultimately found revealed through the son of God is that he is the one for all mediator that that he is our great high priest that he is the prophet who brings the word of God to us that he is a greater Moses that he takes the place of all the blood sacrifices that his once and for all death on the cross is not some later Christian pagan doctrine, but something taught in the Jewish Scriptures that all of us like sheep going astray, and each one is trench was only in the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53 six so when you pray for Israel. Pray however you feel led to pray and pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray that God will establish Jerusalem a praise of all the earth, as per Psalm 122 and Isaiah 62, by all means pray for those things but pray in particular for the salvation of the lost sheep of the house of Israel, the most the most devout rabbi on the planet needs the blood of Yeshua the most devoted, sweet, caring traditional Jewish woman raising her kids especially. She understands and the fear of God. She needs the blood of Messiah.

There is not a separate covenant with Jewish people, but which they get it to an end. As Paul writes in Galatians 2 if righteousness could come by the law of Moses, then Messiah died in vain.

We did need them to die. So the number one issue for me. The number one concern is always Jewish people coming to faith in Jesus and anything else that happens until that is important as it may be as many lives as it may save ultimately is only a Band-Aid on deeper problems. In other words, if you want to see lasting peace in the Middle East. Obviously, I rejoice when there are no terrorist attacks. I rejoice when when innocent civilians are killed. I'm thrilled that weeks and months can go by and you don't hear reports like that. In fact, when I was in Israel, a recent tour believe it was last year.

Don't remember exactly which tour was but there was a young couple from South Africa. If you listen you remind me of the specific yard and know exactly where were we are talking we were coming back from one of the radio broadcast at nearby location a few minutes for the hotel and it was maybe 11 at night and were walking back in the streets were peaceful and common in this couple was saying to be voided safer here than removing South Africa would be on the streets in our home city at this hour just walking like this.

They felt perfectly safe it is, or I'm thrilled with that. I thank God for that.

But I know ultimately just like you're in America. I thank God for the relative peace and and the abundant prosperity and with which we live on a daily basis. And yet I understand that we need the Lord that ultimately the problems that we have a society as a nation will not be solved through political means. So the number one thing to pray for when you pray for the Jewish people is to pray that God will open hearts and monsters people around the world. People living in Israel secular religious God will open their hearts.

God would open their minds. God would reveal Jesus the Messiah to them. Do I want to see all Jews convert to Christianity well by convert to Christianity. If you mean stop being Jewish and join the new religion. No I want them to embrace Jesus as Messiah and Lord and submit to him now. If they do that and it ends up being a very Christian expression will praise God's laws is biblical. If they do that and it's the Jewish expression, but absolutely scriptural based on New Testament truths. Praise God, if Jewish people come to faith and end up joining the local church getting baptized during the local church and be lovers of Jesus. If Jewish people in the coming to faith getting immersed in Morse and Baptist getting immersed becoming part of local messianic Jewish synagogue. Praise God of Jesus is being exalted if he's being followed is Lord. Praise God, but my goal is not to see some Orthodox rabbi shave his beard and and by cross and and and then beyond that super Christmas trains are not. So my goal is I God's goal.

God's goal is to see this man recognizes need for forgiveness in a deeper way than he ever has recognize that only Jesus the Messiah can pay for his sins, our sins, my sins, your sins cry out to God for mercy be granted true repentance and a new heart and become a born again child of God with Jesus issue as his Lord and Master, and God is his father enjoying an intimacy with him that he never knew before a transform heart life that in never knew before, and empowerment to live a holy life beyond what he ever knew before was really good church on Sunday will if he is circumcised when he gets a first Corinthian seven does become uncircumcised New Testament never changes the Sabbath to Sunday that actual change in officially comes hundreds of years later. If he continues to set apart the seventh is holy to God worships with other believers who love Jesus wonderful praise God. Well stop celebrate Hanukkah and start selling Christmas well from amino Jesus celebrated Hanukkah and it's based on what God did, delivering the Jewish people from that from the Maccabees in his miraculous intervention hundred 60 something years before the time of Jesus was thrown celebrate Hanukkah from where is New Testament tell us to celebrate Christmas after the first goal is not to get someone to be traditional Christian. The goal is to get someone to be a New Testament disciple that's rebar labor strip so our own ministry until he met outside of our school of ministry. Our missions organization just asked Dr. Brown proper not for school of Ministry of fire international, but we have 3Rs that we live by revival, revolution, redemption, revival in the church would burn for that day and night to see the church come alive to see the church walk in purity and holiness in the love of God and refreshing of the Holy Spirit and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. With that taken the gospel to the nation's revival in the church means exposure of world missions revolution, meaning a Jesus revolution in society revival in the church revolution in society, meaning that God so transforms us that through the gospel we see transformation, the culture around us and then the third are redemption in Israel seeing Jewish people come to faith, seeing Jewish people born again seeing Jewish people disciple were involved in some very important work within Israel right now that has tremendous potential.

However, one out and do day in the Jewish time there wanted to do or what would be rabbinical leaders been looking for.

It etc. what were they looking for in a file right there was no unified expectation at the time of similar groups like Sadducees didn't even have that is a strong emphasis of there was not a unified. This is what we are expecting any more than Christians today have a unified view of exactly what happens with the second coming, or millennial kingdom.

There are different views especially then blessings had been formulated, you could say though the.

The most common view would have been more of of the militaristic Messiah that the Messiah would be a king who would fight the enemies of Israel and would liberate them from their captivity that probably would've been the most common view, but certainly not the only view some of even argued that there was an expectation of a suffering Messiah. There is this debate about that but when you get into the rabbinic literature in the centuries following. There's a lot of speculation without a detailed assessment of that we know it can be this this this, you really have to wait until the 12th century, the writings of Moses my modern these… 1135 to 1204 so the rise Maimonides in his Mishnah Torah in his so-called mama came laws concerning kings, especially in the 11th chapter that he lays out the requirements of the Messiah, and this is what traditional Judaism basically says to this day that he has to do certain things. For example, he has to regather the exiles he Hester rebuild the temple, he has to bring the nation of Israel into obedience to the law of God, which for him meant the written law and the rabbinic traditions, he has to fight the wars of the Lord fight the enemies of Israel and then through that, of course, establish peace if he does those things you because a compliments like him, probably the Messiah because all of them is death of the Messiah and there is not an emphasis on his atoning death or resurrection. That's completely excluded up, but this much we do know will and that in the Gospels. The disciples couldn't understand why he was going to that white what you get when you die you the Messiah. When you die, so they seem to have more of that same expectation that he's going to be a political leader. So yes, a teacher sent from God. Yes, a prophet, yes a miracle worker. Those expectations seem also have been current in the first century, but ultimately one like David would fight the wars of the Lord and defeat the enemies of Israel, liberate the Jewish people from Roman captivity and when he doesn't are those things people that how can you be the Messiah.

Even Johnny Mercer had questions. Once he was in prison and that's why after his death and resurrection. 24 he opens up the Scriptures. He opens up the minds of his disciples like there is all there. It's all written that he had to die. Had to rise from the it's not just work miracles heal the sick, but he had to die.

Had to rise from the dead and asked was sent to heaven is to rule and reign until his enemies become his footstool. They will thank you for asking the question, which appreciated 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to Richard in Florida. Welcome to the line of fire ergot varied very well thank you sir. Hello yeah go ahead okay I have a question or question is about. Then came and called and I and telegraph.

I think Dr. Ware that no one ain't blue able and there God banished them right and then went on the land and then throughout the air like when the fair of the Kenite and they're not I get you what Israelite and but rapid Bible… Infiltrate I get you thinking of Canaanites, not Canaanites you to give Canaanites law right but there is not a call and I and you you have a few, but you have a few people that are called Kenite Spencer never mentioned in the New Testament writers in the NEAR the Kenite through a subgroup of the various groups that lived in the land of Canaan they were one of a number of groups right and recycle their mentioned in Genesis 15, land of the Kenite scanner sites, nights, etc. so they resist one of their different people groups.

Yeah.

And there are barefoot). Like when the bear to the river where our dominant peptide any tell them that they're not there.thank you, doesn't say that is insane is a sense of the synagogue of Satan because none because of hypocrites and hikers right the distance the distance and, synagogue of Satan's Henry Berry yes, what is this have to do with the Kenite's. I'm sorry but I don't understand what I'm fire at the beginning in the garden of Eden where Adam and Eve debate God again where they eat better. Taking a predictive debate against Eric Bechtel orientation doesn't say that the devil doesn't say that that's a myth completeness nonsense tinnitus. Nothing in Scripture about that 100% myth that my thing was, what is your workstation on the law and prior where a lot of people say that majority of them went over the carpet about an eventually spread throughout Europe and that's where a lot of metal throughout the yeah it's it's it's highly it's it's highly unlikely that the majority were probably lost to history scattered in exile and wants to history of these many were lost to history of others did scanner to the parts the world and and that's why you have Israelite DNA among tribes.

Say it in Africa and some other parts of the world because there was a scattering and then in intermarrying with the peoples there and in those peoples converting to Jewish faith, and so they would still preserve these customs. Even in these other countries and then many others just join themselves to the kingdom of Judah.

In other words, they fled south and they became part of the kingdom of Judah, and that's why among the Jewish people today all of the different 12 tribes would actually be represented so there are some that are scattered. We have no idea what happened to them. They're gone there. Others were scattered into many different parts the world intermarried became part of the people there with those that convert it to Judaism to fall, the God of Israel. They preserve the Jewish heritage seed, you do have them in different parts of the world. But the idea that say Great Britain is is the lost tribes of Israel or America lost tribes of Israel know that that to me is is utterly bogus and there is no good academic support for it, but certainly majority that continued with a Jewish identity are those that joined the province kingdom of Judah and that that's why the New Testament can reference the 12 tribes of Israel.

Even in the New Testament days, not just meeting those scattered on the world but represented among the Jewish people really have some of that different representation aright within New Testament writings were someone from another tribe is actually referenced is within the people of Israel. All right appreciate the questions that all the Israeli elections for thank you know I care on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome friends who are thoroughly roosters rebroadcast 866-34-TRUTH 784 through Jewish related calls.

Just reminder the new revised, expanded edition of our hands were stained with blood is now available. Release this week.

The first edition came at a 92 and is never gone out of print. Remarkably, now we will put a lot of time, effort, energy into revising, updating, improving, expanding this book, our hands are stained with blood. Some of the most eye-opening stuff you will ever read that you finish with hope, with expectation before I go to the phones. Let me try to sort out for you where we are at in the Israeli elections aren't so just the basics again.

Israel has Knesset parliament does not have Senate and House of Representatives like we have an American has one primary governing body body, the Knesset, which has 120 seats in order to lead the nation.

You have to have a majority of seats so 61. So let's just say this was Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton.

Let's say that the Republicans got 61 seats, so they get that much percentage of the vote and the Democrats got 59 seats. So then the Republicans would have the leading national government and have the most sway and influence in terms of what happens in Donald Trump would be the, the prime minister of this was Israel right but doesn't work like that because you have a lot of parties and no party is going to get enough to get the majority of seats so you have to form a coalition. So in this case the cubbyhole Lavon party. The blue and white party is going end up with a 33 seats and the league could party which was Netanyahu's part that is the part of Pentagon's the Likud party, say 31 seats right so that means to get to 61. They have to bring other parties. Okay so you have with the next most well, that's the United list, which is basically all the Arab parties combining and Prime Minister Netanyahu with his rhetoric really inflamed them and and and really insulted them in many ways is not being loyal to the country and even question whether there was corruption in the voting that that produced a lot of votes from the Arab side. So let's say that about 13. That's the final number they have, but because Likud and blue-and-white both lean right in the Arab parties and very much left. Then I can form a coalition with them. So who are they going to bring in. That's where it becomes very dicey and very difficult disable wanted to just come together is right there you got your unity party you got your government, you got between them like 64 seats only need 61. While there is talk about that Netanyahu was said let me do it all lead first and and then halfway through many gospel takeover and then the blue-and-white side initially said will will work with the code will form a unity government but not with Netanyahu leaving the party right so that that came out where a second ago and then Lieberman's party disrobe a Taino with Russian Jews and others. He said I'm not going out form a government with any of the extreme parties. So I'm like in a work with the ultra-Orthodox Jews who between them have 17 seats and I can work with the far left in the Arab parties. Now I want a centrist government so I'll throw myself in if we can form a centrist government and then you have a yellowish arcade with her. You mean a party which is right we politically but not a religiously of that center. Primary emphasis of who she worked with house. I can work out so there a lot of pieces that still have to fall in place, and I think what's impossible is they give 1/3 election is going to change anything it's going exhaust the country and the Knesset is kinda paralyzed. In the meantime to the dispensary to elections five months apart. Enough is enough.

In that respect, but I wanted to share a couple of things with you that are interesting. There's an article in Jerusalem post today that says this right in in in polls that were done, majority of public want unity government with no ultra-Orthodox parties 51% of Likud voters and 90% of blue invite will voters don't want ultra-Orthodox parties in government. They say was that mean they want to exclude the 17 seats from the government yet from the. The ruling government. The one that has the most influence.

Picture it like you've got a Republican president and a Republican led Senate and a Republican led House of Representatives so they can really push through a lot of what they want to push through with that majority the the great great great 90% of the blue-and-white party in a little over half 51% of Likud said they don't want the ultra-Orthodox parties part you said that because they hate God and hate the law of God hate religion for some.

For some that could be the case.

But for for the majority, it's that they perceive the ultra-Orthodox is having their own interest in mind. They perceive the ultra-Orthodox is just trying to get benefits for their own party that are to the detriment of the rest of the nation, and then they want to impose their views their values on the rest of the nation and and their view this it hypocritical themselves so there's resistance today. It was a matter of live and let live there would be less resistance in my view if there was if it was not a matter of the ultra-Orthodox controlling certain aspects of the country and relying a lot of tech support so so the men don't have to serve in the military and the men can give themselves to study and prayer all day, which in their mind is a sacrificial thing they do for the good of the nation to preserve the nation it if if it was more just hey live and let live, then there wouldn't be so much resistance so that's that's one part here right your overall 64% of Israeli Jews favorite excluding the ultra-Orthodox parties from the next government.

So that's that's a striking number now you say but what about the seats that they gained they still have those was they still have influence they can vote like anyone else. They can campaign for anything else they can push their agenda but they can't do it in a domineering way because they would be part of the ruling government right now.

One other interesting article. This is in Ha'aretz so this is a very left-leaning Ha'aretz and the most recent updates Israel election results. Netanyahu says he wants unity government. Gonzalez says I will leave it and again recent news cubbyhole Lavon slits blue-and-white of their their Knesset members say they will sit with Netanyahu right so I just mentioned that that was breaking news a little while ago because last I saw they wouldn't sit with another will sit with him is is a compromise can be worked out between these parties and then will they invite disrobe a Taino to join as well.

So now the have a very very strong majority with it have like 73 votes or 73 seats, something like that so disable how you get seats is by percentage of the vote. So if if you have 120 seats right then, for every what, 9/10 of a percent of the vote. You get a seat with the minimum number of seats you can have us for so in order to get in.

You have to have about 3.25% of the votes is like a test of a percent equals a seat so for for every 3.25%. That's four seats that gets you in.

If you have less than that. You don't even get in and all. So it's very complex in the sense everybody can have a voice and everybody can have a vote and everybody get involved in their many more parties that that put forth their candidates and their positions and they don't get enough votes to to get on at all. Right.

This is how it's breaking down and Netanyahu was considered a continued his anti-Arabic rhetoric consider their being incited by the Palestinian Authority to vote the way that their voting and being pushed in a certain way. That's to their detriment. I was the Arabs feel that they're being treated like second-class citizens. What would be ideal and ideal to me would be. And again I am not a deep level expert with knowing all the political implications and incidents are but for me I believe that Likud Netanyahu government are good for security and are good for international relations and economy but can be too polarizing and are too much at the behest of the ultra-Orthodox. I don't leave the ultra-Orthodox should have special privileges which would have to serve like everyone else's citizens with in Israel.

Therefore, if you can have a government that is not influenced by say the radical left. The radical right, that's me would be the best case scenario, so the cuckoo hall, a couple of oncoming together with any others that want to join their coalition, but without giving special benefits to the ultra-Orthodox or to the Arabs.

The saying, hate to be straight across the board for everybody that's me would be a great scenario. We shall see. 866-34-TRUTH is us in the first half of the broadcast. Ultimately, the biggest thing is the people of Israel need issue than the Jesus that neither Messiah.

They need their Savior, 866-34-TRUTH. Let us go to Marcus in California.

Welcome to the line of fire market for correct Michael sure thing, but a question Israel and the whole question of the two in the Bible John Q the part of my sheep hear my voice, but you know and follow the idea of eternal life. They shall never perish, but do you think that you sheep have eternal life, and he never perish in the Bible that… A living up the bed, which means we projected 1.Robert were all dead but talking one click to get you when all man I'll let you the graph that that will perish. If you have my sheep never perish talking to be a Jew based on the flesh that met met problematic for people think they're God's children of God, never die, will never die at every every everything every believer dies every Jesus says that you die you live. You sing in the region. Physically, I you saying that polarizing the dialer. Peter never physically die what I'm saying it when you're born again. The new man of not the old man may have been in krait the new creature will think about.

We all become new. The old man is not human at the other yeah I'm items and what it has to do with being a Jew will islands in the conduction God could dog got a living off the bed and the Jewish people are still here preserve the Jewish people need Jesus to be saved by the Ganado Mustang light right Jewish people need Jesus to be saved. Jeff said that the 48 years else the computer to do it, not one outwardly, but by the heart.

The study was done just under John 1028's are complete and the latest John 1028 Jesus she's a Jew and Gentile the Jew, fully pleasing to God. Such certain sizes inside outside with employees going next Verse Romans 31 that there and being circumcised doesn't save you the key thing to save our thank you sir. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speed 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 saw a comment from my friend Scott Wolk on Facebook alone from Israel. Hey man, you're a great time in the land get you through it four times your Lisa can't wait to be here with you.

Dr. I can't wait to be back in Israel with you in our tour group next May 866-34-TRUTH so to clarify being a Jew does not guarantee salvation. Being a Jew does not guarantee you damnation. Being a Jew makes you responsible for whatever knowledge and revelation you have of Scripture of God right. Some people have more responsibility than others. Too much is given much is required but may secular Jews there Jewish Buddhists there Jewish atheists.

There are very traditional religious Jews, but all Jewish people just like all Gentile people need Jesus Yeshua to be safe and at the same time I was promised Israel that he would keep the Jewish people until the end, regardless of what sins were committed, he would still preserve us, even under discipline and judgment and that a Jewish Jerusalem will welcome the Messiah back and there will be a national turning of the Jewish people within the age, but without Jesus without Yeshua there is no salvation for Jew or Gentile preacher that day and night for decades. It was 50 years now, 86634 to we go to Maurice in Greenwood, South Carolina. Welcome to the line of fire and doing very well thank you okay to tell you what I I hate to do this we are super strict on Thursdays. We refuse calls all the time and was there Jewish related so I apologize: on a Friday. I know this seems rude okay and some I just got past our articles.

I know it seems rude. I apologize for that. All right but I have to be consistent and fair to all the others that we we turn away on a Thursday. That's what we its early Jewish Thursday all right and if if you can call than just write to our website and we have a team that answers questions in an I get involved with different times as well, so my apologies again I will assume rude, but just have to be consistent here so God bless McCall of the day will be glad to help you all right. Thank you. Okay we go to Sally in Texas.

Welcome to the line of fire. Dr. Brown hello Hector question probably early but anyway, I've never known AA Jewish last name. It depends on how they pronounce early's I've met Goldstein. I've met Goldstein yeah okay I've seen both Epstein Epstein different of seeing those pronunciations over the years. Okay thank you I don't feel it. Okay, that might my real question main reason I wanted to call you been reading my cane came along with a the Jewish study Bible translation and lot notes which are very likely that I'm beginning to wonder if I should be reading because I believe that the Bible is entirely the word of God and that I should be able to believe anything that when I go to read the note in the Jewish study Bible the frame when I was reading about the story of Jericho in their marching around it and so forth to expand in the footnote that architect. I meet archaeological are witness to the fact that there is no way that Jericho could have been painting at that yeah so so here's here's the deal. The Jewish study Bible brings together a wide range of Jewish scholarship but along with traditional insights into the text.

It's giving you modern critical understandings as well.

So if you're reading it to understand what a contemporary Jewish scholar would say, along with a critical Christian scholar and many text you'll find it enlightening the translation is a brilliant translation but you see key points it deviates from King James really Christian translations, so it's good to read if you reading it for certain information. A lot of times it will have interesting archaeological information historical information I have it, among many, many, many, many other commentaries but in point of fact, it is not written from a traditional Jewish viewpoint, and obviously not from a believing Christian viewpoint and therefore will have critical notes like that. So the troubles you would all or or takes for your peace or or raises questions you have answers for.

Then no reason to read it.

If you read it in terms of good background information and gives you an idea of what a contemporary Jewish scholar would think, then fine, you find it helpful in that regard, but you don't want to read it like a an evangelical Christian study Bible, where the notes or are there in a way that is good. Enhance your faith rather than attack your faith but in either case, the notes of the notes in the Bible is the Bible and you always have to remember that the Bible is infallible and in fully true, the notes are human opinions about what's in the Bible so you make a big separation there all right okay you haven't a suggestion for maybe that would be more helpful to me because the reason I'm reading it and I'm reading the King James. I also pick up my amplified from time to time because I really want understand everything I'm reading that the reason I'm reading the Jewish study Bible to get more insight into Jewish thought and tradition helpful. I have been out that with better okay in terms of Jewish background to the Old Testament. Remember a lot of the Jewish traditions come later. Okay, they they they come centuries later, these later interpretations. Looking back, but there is a a a cultural but there is a Bible backgrounds study Bible by John Walton and Craig Keener okay I believe the title is Bible background study Bible, but either either way if you just jot down Walton and Keener study Bible that will give you a massive amount of archaeological information. Ancient near Eastern information of the New Testament one you'll have a lot of Jewish background. Because then you have much more developed Judaism as Craig Keener so that would be one that would be highly highly recommend here. It's called the cultural backgrounds study Bible, the cultural backgrounds study Bible that will be much more helpful for your and written from a believing perspective and where there are legitimate archaeological questions will sort them out for you. The cultural backgrounds study Bible. All right to what, let's go really quickly, Monique and Greensboro were really short on time, but dive right in.

Yes, I will do that to talk really fast but I have to think like Paul to go to love the Lord and Gertie really do is show here and everything so rare.

God bless you. The first question is, you probably answered brilliant concept never heard it felt if estate Gentile like myself married a Jewish person Jewish by blood in faith as well. Even though I don't five minute that but being saved in Christ are complete guide felt we get the benefit.

Of course then plus added not to think that it needs to be there to be complete but just bonus.

I think because that the other person Jewish and state yet. So what does our marriage get yes so so let let me in and God bless you. Also thank you yes in the science were 100% equal in in Messiah.

We have equal standing male-female right sleeve freed you Gentile, black, white, Asian, Hispanic with whoever we are in Jesus, we are equals we are equally saved, equally forgiving, equally washed equally clans equally sons and daughters of God and yet we each bring something unique in our heritage and there is something of Jewish person to have a connection back to the generations doesn't make you any more saved anymore forgiving anymore.

Holy.

But there is something that is brought in terms of a historic connection and a connection to Israel and the Jewish people as a whole. Even something that can be passed on to the children as they are raised so it's not a matter of going back under the law or something like that, but rather recognizing that the to bring something together that is very special and very unique and very beautiful. So just like there's male-female complementarity to meet you Gentile, cemetery because of background tradition heritage so you I think it's a beautiful bonus that can be a blessing in many many ways take a lot of time.

Some of you know the question but I gotta run also tutor Marise if you were trying to tell me that someone was converting from Judaism to Catholicism or something like that. So, I would've taken the call this when you preface it by saying it's the Jewish faith.

If I had to jump in. Just because we've done that to so many other callers that never get that far, so my apologies if it was actually Jewish related.

I just didn't have that information I friends remember son for Israel Tory dismay 2020, which will be here before you know it all right and tomorrow is got a great broadcast coming around and answer some really interesting Facebook questions, and then everyone listening, watching anywhere near Vancouver, British Columbia, God willing.
