Everyone watching on YouTube if you have a question you'd like me to answer posted in the next few minutes in the YouTube chat and I'll see if I can get some of those questions as well. Alright so go ahead and post your questions if you call that's great 866-34-TRUTH and on Fridays broadcast still feel left out on Facebook. I'm going to be answering questions that are being posted right now on Facebook. We posted a few minutes ago saying post within the next hour I'm gonna grab a bunch of those from Facebook a bunch of those from Twitter and then were going to answer those on the air on Fridays me to do a lot of responses to social media. Okay, here's a quote it to do it before I wonder if your subscription with you, but a good answer question here. Just scroll back up there a question from Landa how I feel about women becoming pastors in the mass influx of women in ministry leadership.

If you go to Esther to Brown.org and just type in women just type that in you'll see some teach. We've done on women as pastors. I believe that God can use women in many ways justice uses men in the gifts of the spirit and in winning the lost and preaching the gospel in in so many different ways women can be by Lee used in some ways women are much more powerful than that often women have stronger prayer lives so God has purpose is for everyone in the body, and I do believe that he is raised up and use women as pastors, but I see the primary order that God is established the normal order is that governmental headship is male and what's interesting is that we've surveyed women in our ministry school so there there because they feel called. There there because they were burden to be doing ministry work and overwhelmingly, as we've surveyed them and said do you want to be the buck stops person say your marriage would be the buck stops person at the final pressure comes on you that the final solution Juergen have to come up with that is there sickness in the home or financial crisis itself on you and you got to be the one to hold us together and take everything to God, if you want to be the buck stops person almost none of them raise their hand.

I asked the men the same question almost all of virtually all of them raise their hand if so, I got wireless. It's not to say God can't raise up a Deborah but I do not see that as the primary divinely established order.

That being said, I'm thrilled that women are doing all kinds of ministry effectively and to the honor of the Lord.

Okay let me just take over Romans 11 and letting them go to the phones.

All right, I just want to show you something interesting in Romans 11 us in this prolonged time, but more readings. Romans 11 again yesterday just while reading through Scripture.

I was struck by this the debate about what is Paul mean when he says so all Israel will be saved.

Romans 1126 and releases all Israel does he mean the entire nation and it's quite clearly for many passages. The use of all Israel in the Old Testament and then the argument, culminating with 1125 and 1126 and Romans were it's clear the Israel that is hardened Israel. Israel, it will be safes that will be a national turning of the lost sheep of the house of Israel at the end of the age. All right, but let's do this.

Let's work backwards. Verse 29, 28, 27, 26, all right ready to do that with me restart in 1129 since God's gracious gifts and calling or irrevocable is explaining why certain principles whole because God's gifts and calling irrevocable. If I read 26 to 29 and then the dude backwards in the regard to the phones. In this way all Israel will be saved as it is written, the liberator will come from Zion or the Redeemer he will turn away godlessness from Jacob and this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins concerning the good news they are hostile for your sake but concerning chosen as their love them account of the fathers for the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable, so let's go backwards. Who were they in verse 28, who either they who are hostile now to the gospel hostile for your sake but concerning chosen as their love them, volleys that's the nation as a whole, writes nonbelieving Israel hostile to the gospel for your sake, but loved account of the fathers who is the day national Israel now back up to verse 27 and this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins is at some of the believers. None of nonbelieving Jewish people. This is my covenant with them, or take away their sins, and then you go back now to verse 26. This will Israel be saved as it is written in the deliverer shall come out of Zion, he shall turn away God ungodliness from Jake up as the church and Jacob know so Jacob them. There those who are hostile to the gospel.

It's it's Jewish people don't believe in.

Those are the ones that Paul is saying at the end of the age there will be a national turning 86634 and let's go to David in Durham walking to the line of fire. Thank you so much for making yourself available. While question for you start to witness to people on the biggest spirit by getting many people to people out of the question how I know you your Christian God is true why God didn't that usually rolls over into auto weight of the Bible sure yet so good answer for that would satisfy I don't believe her, who has a lot of doubts.

Yeah, great question, so God of the Bible claims to be the only true God, right okay and in the beginning he creates everything so he claims that he's the creator of all things that everything else is created. That's one nudges me is true, just this is what the Bible says, then God. So how do we know that's true handling of these traditions, and accounts will God demonstrated this at it in the eyes of the people of Egypt, which was one of the great empires and nations of the day and when God brought the 10 plagues and when God did what he did.

He brought judgment on the gods of Egypt, he showed that he had mastery over all nature. He was the only true God and mastery over all the other got. Sue tells him according to the Bible in the past.

In each of the Exodus, which the current about the splitting the see God show that he was more powerful, the nature and he was more powerful than the gods of Egypt so he demonstrated he's the only true God, then he sent Jesus into the world in accordance with prophecies that talked about his coming, and he worked all these miracles to Jesus and then raised Jesus from the dead, and he continues to save lives today say well how do I know any of that's true say simple call on God to show you the truth about Jesus is that simple. If in fact what's written in the Bible is true that when you call on that God, the God of the Bible to reveal the truth about Jesus. If you're sincere he'll do it and when he does it, that confirms that he's the only true God, and then what we see, for example, in mass rallies in Africa were some of my friends preached that witch doctors come, and radical Muslims come in others, and their putting curses on the meetings of the speak against the meetings. Instead they end up getting killed.

They end up getting saved, and Jesus demonstrates that he's alive today, so that's the logic. The Bible makes this claim and God backs the claim by those who call out on the name of Jesus, and someone says I I would do it but I don't know that it's true then say all right for God. If you are the one true God. You know I'm sincere.

This is not a game show me the truth about Jesus and the folly and that's that's not only intellectually sound its experientially and's sound as well so that someone can know for themselves that make sense. It makes great use of what I really appreciate the question given a thought that I've always can appear to be on all you have always trust me we all have questions that they become the fear being asked, but here the other. The other thing is you know is hence a great question when someone asked and said let me check on that.

That's a great question. Rather than trying to put up a smokescreen to come up with the answer.

It's always a good thing signal. It's great to ask questions. The Bible really encourages us to ask questions so I love the question and you got some friends or Web server get an answer for you.

Let me get back on it and encourage that. But that the other thing to realize is this is why everything was judged by Sinai.

In other words, when God spoke from the mountain set on the God who took you out of Egypt. So Israel knew our God, the one that we heard about created the universe and all this we heard from our forefathers. He really is the one true God. 20 profit that comes along later and tries to nullify that or change that is to be rejected. Because that's where God show the whole world that he's the one true God. That's what Jesus comes to fulfill knuckleball shortly come back on answer some YouTube questions takes more calls then be joined by Scott Paul.

Don't go anywhere.

The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown looking looking at a note to you to chat with us as Romans 1126 has to be read in the context of Romans 96 Nono Nono Romans 963 read in the context of Romans 910 and 11 in full is Romans 96, Paul is explaining that God's word didn't fail not always release his real mother.

It's God made promises to the whole nation but only a remnant within the nation received it and that is what's been happening through history the only remnant believe the 7000 people, like Paul, in his day, all right, but as you keep reading. Paul continues to talk about it every time he says Israel. Romans after Romans 96 1010 usages, every single time he says Israel of some the nation as a whole, the nation's all the nations alternations all and that explicitly he's calling Israel Jacob he speaking of Israel in San. He seemed Israel is hard. That's the Israel I will be saved so that Romans 96 quoting that and I keep not continue to read will get you a big big scriptural trouble with massive Miss understanding 866-34-TRUTH only grips were YouTube questions and let's see, let's go to Sandy. All right we will go to Sandy will go to Desmond in Anderson, South Carolina. Welcome to the line of fire. Are you doing Dr. Brown `Michael, you bet on her yet adequate question that he commanded Bible that they going to tarnation, baptizing them in the name of father and of the holy.

Our Holy Ghost, but all computers. There repent and be back in the name of Christ which one should we. Yes of the formula that was given and repeated outside of the New Testament is baptized in the name of the father son and the Holy Spirit. Those are the words that are said in the book of acts. There are several different expressions. If you're reading it in Greek. It's being baptized in the name of Jesus, or into the name of Jesus, or upon the name of Jesus and what it's most likely speaking of is either calling on Jesus to save while being baptized or we bet we are being baptized into him. Remember Romans six that we are, we died with him in baptism and we rise in newness of life. So we are baptized into Jesus. So in the name of the father son and Holy Spirit. We are baptized into Jesus we are baptized calling on Jesus to save us from our sins, but the formula that used this and repeated by early leaders like the disciples of the apostles writing outside the New Testament. They speak about being baptized in the name of the father son and the Holy Spirit. One thing Desmond interestingly enough, my pastor when he baptized me February 4 of 1972 is a new believer is his custom was to say in the name of the father and Jesus Christ the son and the Holy Ghost, because the E figure the do them both together abroad yeah which I I've never had a problem with 0G because Jesus is the son, but that's that's the best answer to the question. Don't let anyone ever put you in bondage and said if they said name of the father son and Holy Spirit then then that's not a real baptism and and and you had to use the name of Jesus specifically ignore that if anyone throws that okay thank you Dr. yeah you're very welcome. God bless you brother 866-34-TRUTH I Jerry is it true that the seats he had knots that would tell everything about the person wearing it. You honestly Jerry have never heard that question before my life Nono Nono Nono, the knots were not there. Originally traditional view would say they are. This is something that that has been developed over time with tradition, but they symbolize the 613 commandments. They saw on the fringes the ritual fringes of the traditional jewelry to this day. They symbolize the 613 commands at 613 kn, but there were quite a few. There's a story told about a rabbi who brings some close into the to the drycleaner Chinese drycleaner and comes back to pick things up on this new day in the drycleaner since I got everything done for you except for the prayer shawl that's got it's easy to fringes onions all okay. Once I come back come back tomorrow because my coincidental actually rabbi need one more day really does comes back one more day in reference of what took so-and-so took forever to get all his knots out so you just little Jewish joke there 866-34-TRUTH all right. Let's try Sandy in Greensboro. Let's try you again hello. I'll drop right before you take that for me arrival here we are all mining handy when Bible study last night and lighting that I think he said he had not painted everything that a man in Georgia that Hannah Bible and had it for 17 years, and he said it.

Mysteriously started keeping oil with the clear oil. We watched part of Indiana.

Gratian and he he same just it might happen on, they would not put on and all and we can hear and are not will her matted out comparable got anything only went on and in a ranting question Connecticut will find that you had all checked out the matter fact any way to get to a chemical lab and they were analyzing it.

They came back shaking again to complete. We can't find anything like it is nothing like it had no it it reminds you of mineral law that it has never learned is nothing we can actually I didn't have Iran's right question is not how much of this to believe because he'll matted out God anyway so I'm collecting right so so let me first say this is it's all true.

The question is, and meaning it if it's all true, this would change the meaning of a passage in the Bible. No does it tell us that that anything about God. We didn't know note.

Does it make Jesus more real to us know what was it all. That's true either way. Is it impossible. Of course, is not impossible and I I have friends might straight up as could be. Also, tell me they never believed any of this either. They were praying for people mixing oil was dripping from their hands. I've had friends of Miami reliable solid people on there and talk about was that just came up in private. They said I never believe this, you know. So until we were we were in this one woman's home in Jerusalem and and I thought she was little far out spiritually we're praying for rain or for sign mixing started raining inside the house from the from the ceiling and there is no rain outside in the league could and he said either believe the stuff but either either way. If this happens, and it brings with it a sense of God's nearness or sign of some kind. Wonderful. But it doesn't add anything though.

It's what when you have this thing like in in certain Catholic Orthodox circles. In the say there's an image of Mary and she's weeping and all that.

I just look at that is deception.

Personally, you know, because it's pointing in the wrong direction it's glorifying Mary and the worst thing is how people line up and they come from all over to see it. So if this becomes a phenomenon right and that everyone wants to come and see the blue you know the Bible bleeding oil. Now it's just like a sideshow but could it have Corsica happen and underneath it. Go have been strongly fallible. She didn't have to pay for naked little container Army try to clean Bible that brought Babel back pain failed big [CAD act failed.

Don't know where it emptied it but I don't want you to prorate all the power is in all it.

God not in the oil. So if you are anointed with the don't think you all doing it because it might be totally critiqued.

All that is not only all right leave even James five Jacob five. Where were you you lay hands on the sick that you pray for the sick and anointed with oil. It's it's the prayer offered in faith in Jesus name brings healing not the oil. The oil is symbolic, but look, you have an instance in frisking 17 of an abundance of oil and and that's used for certain purposes, so the last thing I would do is say it couldn't happen or it won't happen, but for sure if it happens all right.

Praise the Lord along with normal business and and if it keeps happening right then use the oil for the glory of God would go on with normal business. The Bible is true. Jesus is Lord the call sister to reach others. I would never make that the emphasis unless and these folks are, but I would never ever if if all the Bibles were dripping oil that would never be the emphasis we just take what a sign of God's presence. Let's get our faces and worshiping law and we go on with our lives. Hey, thank you for the question 866-34-TRUTH I don't have the some of these are our Jewish related question soda joining with Scott on the other side of the break effacement company laws.

In addition to the 10 Commandments that God gave Moses and how many did Ben compose throughout the years. Well the traditional Jewish count which is an accurate camming that you can debate a few laws and repetition is only 613 is what we understand to be the number of total laws in the Torah that God gave through Moses, but how many been added since then.

By way of tradition in Judaism of thousands to tens of thousands of those been counted.

Thousands upon thousands upon thousands upon thousands of let's just see here any other quote anything on YouTube, I can grab quickly, guys, and just look at my my YouTube feed their anything I can grab their kiss just got a few seconds before our break. But what I said in Orthodox Jewish neighbor says the new covenant cannot be written on the hearts of the followers of Christ because they do not keep the tour perfectly. I would tell him number one. Our hearts have been supernaturally transformed that we've gone from hating to loving. We've gone to addictions to the flesh to to liberty and freedom that we really are. Transform people that we have the power to forgive without also point out that this covenant is different than the Sinai covenant when God says a rightist rise teaching our hearts. It's understood that there can be changes in the teaching, for example, if God forgives us remembers her sins no more do we need the day of atonement. If nobody's dying.

Do we need rites and rituals empty with people dying and things like that so it's a new and better covenant not only so, not only so, but we are also a transition age, the Messiah has begun his mission but not completed its we are not yet fully experiencing the blessings of the new covenant that we have the firstfruits we have the deposit I will be right back joined by none other than Scott Faulk. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown.

Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution of your exam is Dr. Michael Brown, you know, America is a nation been infested, prosperity message message that says Jesus died to make rich message that says that you can gauge spirituality by becoming car you drive a message that is not only wrought havoc on America but has heard of the nations is even effective whole confidence in negative ways. And when Pastor John MacArthur was critiquing the charismatic movement as a whole is one of the major issues he raised in in him raising that I agreed with him on that I massively differed with his estimate as to how widespread it was. But I agree it is certainly hurt many, many lives at the same time there is a poverty mentality that if you have anything you can send that you measure your spirituality by how bad a car you drive to the prosperity folks measure spiritually by how nice the car is in the other folks measure the your spirituality by how bad your car is and what's happened with the prosperity message.

It's it's swung too far, but there is a wonderful truth in it, which is that God calls us to be generous and that is we give. He gives and that if he can trust is that the more he gives the more we give. There is now a flow of supernatural life and all things become possible. And now the gospel can be funded and the poor can be helped in and so many things can be done through the generosity of God's people and that flow of life.

I want to talk about that today and then specifically in the context of Israel and that we got some calls on hold stay there. I want to get to some more calls as well, but I'm joined in the studio by my longtime friend and colleague Scott Faulk and Scott. Amazingly, when August now and our next trip to Israel very first through 10th so very first through 10th friends were going Israel again. We still have some room on on the on the tour but time is of the essence. What will tell you more about that in the moment a real life-changing tour but but Scott, as long as I've known you, you have the mentality of giving, giving, and feeling that those that don't give churches that don't give that they're missing out on a blessing and explain the way you think the way I was raised was, not to think about how much we can receive. But really, how much we can give when we lived in community will be shared life together with other people. The motivation of our life was and how much we could suck on other people but Lord, what have you given us that we can share with others, whether it be car, whether it be a food whether it be food, whether PR time so I really give so much so much of who I am today credit to my parents because they really taught us that way.

One thing I've seen in churches and in believers as I've grown up as so many times we make the ministry about what can we get how does this affect us and when we walk into church. How can this church building and the things that go on here today blessed me rather than thinking about I'm in this church. What can I do to be a blessing to these people. So I believe bro that the more that we give. It's in the Bible give, and it will be given to our motivation for giving is not so that we can receive. But the fruit of our giving is that we receive exceedingly abundantly beyond all we can ask or think it's it's it's a remarkable truth that so many people miss out on because they think they can afford to give ice that you can afford not to give an account of an eyewitness. These these many years.

Now I'm thinking back to when we were in the Philippines together and we are the hotel and a lot of our missionaries were visiting us. There Siler, 15, 17 people and it's time to to to finish the meal and were already to get up and pay your and find out know it's really been paid for before Scott was there they paid for it.

I'm thinking you don't you have extra money. I want you do this for years of of what you come into a room with the was with 22 drinks in your hand your juice or soda water could see that you get one for yourself and one for me and you see someone else's just came in the room say hey give it to them.

I think that was yours. There was yours so I just watch that little things having people your home.

What was the maximum people you're hosted in your house one time one time a tour bus pulled up. We actually had 45 people staying in our house. They were, they were literally underneath our dining room table in sleeping bags spread out on the floor during the days when we lived in Pensacola together was remarkable and wonderful. I would not trade those days for for anything that the one image I remember from that was one of the young guys that was in their teenager had been so overwhelmingly touched by revival that he was sitting there having serial is weeping into the snow.

Tears dropping off of his face right into a serial could hardly talk. Alright so let's talk about what happened with giving since God called you to bless Israel and to give with generosity to help the poor.

Israel messianic believers others. Those that don't believe in Jesus, Yeshua, but needy children and their Lotta needs of Israel that there there are a lot of poor Israel.

There is a lot of economic pressure you in some parts of Israel think everybody's is prospering. But there are a lot of challenges this is go through the chronology of what you've seen happen with multiplication the more you've given yet. First of all I have to say this, if we are waiting to have abundance before we give a rating waiting for the wrong thing. Personally, I don't have a lot of money, I've never made a lot of money. My salaries never been extraordinary, and many times I ask is this really the one paying your house is quiet because there was no salary. So we verify that so bro it was 2005 I walked into an underprivileged children center in Israel and I was reminded of the verse through tears.

When I looked at these poor kids where Jesus says in as much as you've done it to the least of these brothers of mine, you've done it to me. That's where he talks about separating the sheep from the goats in and giving to the hungry and and clothing the naked, and visiting those who are sick and I knew at that point I was supposed to do something with the little that I had were Israel was concerned. We started our nonprofit ministry and anytime I went over to Israel. I was carrying funds from those who gave plus my own funds to give to the kids that was in 2005 we were giving hundreds maybe we cross the thousand dollars a year. I thought I was doing the greatest thing in the world and then in 2010 I was flying back from Israel, the Lord touched my heart were Israel was concerned. I knew I needed to do this full-time 2012 I stepped down as the lead pastor of fire. In that year devoting 100% of my interests to giving to Israel. We distributed $18,000 in of of finances is exciting to thorny.

Not only was it exciting. I thought how in the world can we replicate that, I forgot to wear like Lord if it please if I could do this next year. I have a thriving ministry in the next year.

It basically doubled. It was about 35 or $36,000 the year after that was $80,000 bro.

It's basically this is not just with cannons were giving away. This is what were giving away.

But we were giving away almost everything that came in because we need that must to survive. It was amazing. So Mike were on were on a path to give away $1 million this year.

Last year we gave away $450,000.

Halfway through this year we were at $500,000 in our giving, and dispersing of funds to Israel related ministries it's correct like a dream and it's it's a dream.

So here's what I say I will will your fundraising tricks, fundraising, fundraising tricks are. I don't know anything about fundraising ice. I say that the best way to raise funds is not to ask for money. I mean we can ask. I asked all the time for people when I'm traveling.

If you want to stand with us. This is how you can give.

But bro, my motivation for relating to people is not to get in their pocketbooks. My motivation for relating to people is to share what God's doing in Israel and in my life and see how I can be a blessing to them and as I've done that, Mike.

All I can say is God has extraordinarily abundantly blessed. It's not wrong to send out a newsletter. It's not wrong to advertise. It's not wrong to put return envelopes and I don't have the staff to do those things. So all I can say is that God is blessing our active giving by giving back to us beyond what we could ever give.

And you think that it's not only an issue of God smiling on generosity and your helping the poor, which is always dear God's heart to do a study of it how God feels about caring for the poor, and I'm always smitten convicted is a is a read these things and in a Good Way, God challenging Munich in a good boy but Scott you think it's it's not simply that you care for the poor in helping the needy in Israel, but that it's also in Israel that it's it's something to do with blessing Israel. I absolutely think that I do believe that there are ministries that are raised up to bless the poor in Africa and God's gonna bless them, as they give, but specifically when you think about Israel. There is no other nation or people that God promises to bless when you bless them as blessing Israel Genesis 12 123 is so so clear, so abundantly clear where God says in verse three I will bless those who bless you, when God says I will. You can take it to the bite, you can take it to the bank of God says I'm going to do something he's never not going to do this. So when God says I will bless those who bless Israel that means that if you look to be a blessing to Israel that God is going to bless you with out question because God does not lie. He doesn't he doesn't go back on his promises. He's faithful to a thousand generations. So yes, Israel is a nation that God promises that when you bless them you will be blessed and it's it's throughout Scripture. It's amazing. I was just looking at acts 10 you got an you got a man named Cornelius who was not a Jew and it's the Bible says that he prayed and he gave he was a man that feared God, he prayed and he gave an angel shows up and he says your prayers and your giving have ascended like a memorial to God's wasn't just a spring for Israel, his prayers and his giving and then later Peter shows up at Cornelius's house, which was unlawful. Peter looks at Cornelius and says you know it's unlawful for me to be here but God brought me here.

And the angel tells Peter the same thing Cornelius his prayers and his giving have ascended like a memorial to God and what does God do to Cornelius and his house a Gentile.

He pours out his spirit and the Jewish people that were there were amazed. It said God poured out his spirit even to the Gentiles down in verse 45 or 46 of acts chapter 10 remarkable. So here's a man who gave not looking for anything in return and God gives exceedingly abundantly beyond all Cornelius could ask or think, and the gospel goes to the nations. So yes, when you give to Israel. And when you look to be a blessing to Israel. Buckle your seatbelt God's about to blessing and friends.

It was interesting is that Balin repeats that in Numbers 24 under inspiration of the spirit speaking of the nation as a whole.

So it wasn't just Abraham himself or him him Isaac and Jacob that the nations whole that that God blesses those who bless Israel and it's all grace. You see it's is not Israel's good works. It's is your good works, look at the blessing all the time is a God's grace and mercy saw something with Israel. It's it's grace it's grace is grace and it's just something about recognizing God's eternal purposes, and his faithfulness.

Despite the world hating Israel despite the failings of the Jewish people. This is a testimony of God's grace in a tangible way or listen, we come back we'll give you a personal invitation to join us in Israel. 10 was can be so special. Not asking for money offerings.

First, God listless to personal invitation. You brought how many hundreds of people in Israel, probably close with thousand yeah and and and I brought ball hundred something you know because I haven't been a big guy doing tourist people are so impacted going Israel. It's mind-boggling. I mean is just something happens when you're there and you go to places where biblical history unfold it where it's going to unfold in the future and you walk in the same places need something just happens yeah and and because when I'm there though I'm frustrated just being a tour bus and things so my thing is a cover certain key places for baptism with the river Jordan or their teacher about what happened at Mount Carmel's gonna happen in the future Armageddon you know. But then at night I want to minister folks are having come to radio with me. So our tour February 1-10. Still time to get in but now is the time to get your deposit is called holy fire in the holy land, because by day you have trouble get an expiratory guide you get Scott Fulk then you got special teaching for me in different places. Then every night amid your Q&A with you guys. One night or another that we have worship and preaching. Know that you can come to radio with me and sit on the show so it's can be amazing. The trip of a lifetime. February 1-10 for Esther to Brown.org KSK DR Brown.org and sign up today Scott anything you want to add to that all all I can say is now's the time to sign up if you're thinking about coming if you've prayed about going to Israel this is the trip to come on first of February for Sutent is such a great time in Israel because it's not sweltering heat, then the the climate skin to be absolutely and completely beautiful. Our time in the Galilee boat ride on the Sea of Galilee.

Walking through the synagogue itself where where Jesus ministered the actual synagogue foundations of which are still there.

The Mount of Beatitudes. It's amazing it always blows me away that were on a boat on the Sea of Galilee, looking out at the very skyline that Yeshua looked at 2000 years ago said it's it's remarkable. So friends I really want to encourage you.

Don't delay, now is the time we really have to make some very, very important decisions based on how many people are signed up for the trip as to as to when to close this off so if you're thinking about doing it. Go on to ask Dr. Brown and and sign up all the information can be found on the landing pages can be a great trip and I can't wait for or is it one last thing, just let you know we have massive reach by God's grace we we speak to millions every week with these Israel tours are intermittently we may have 55 people when I can have three or 400 so some that's great that 300,000 come on, their tours are small intimate tour yeah will fill one bus okay and we have ghetto so this the time to sign up.

Are you want to miss the opportunity because we don't know when we give it do it next and the intimacy part also grow is just hanging out with you every night were not running from place to place. It can be a nice relaxed torts can be great but I think the thing that I heard most from the people is sitting down to dinner with you talking one-on-one with you at a table listening to you speak answering questions being at the rate at the live radio recording.

I just I believe it's a trip of a lifetime and it's gonna be great awesome. All right, so asked Dr. Brown.org go there silent yeah do it do it and maybe a little tight on money. If you feel the do it all the providers he has for others of them take a couple calls it relates to what we been talking about Eric in Boston. Thank you so much for holding and welcome to the line of fire.

I think you might call. I wanted the question.

I agree with you guys, but I interact with you got with Christians of different perspective than I wanted to ask you a question that I got some time yeah what what your responses are so in terms of collecting Israel they they sometimes likable. What exactly does that entail like to say if you were to find like I like a liberal party in Israel are some penal counter missionary organization. Your financially blessing them financially blessing Israel but is going to recognize that what bless you back or how would you yeah Feynman is the know how to collect Israel.

God recognizes that and let you back, Erica.

I love the question that's one reason that God raised up Scott's ministry together for Israel, there are others that have raised a lot of money for Israel but the never never get into the hands of Jewish believers. The funds are raised and some are given say to unorthodox day school it's gonna teach children Jewish tradition, it may be a fine school but is this can be all the more reason they won't believe in Jesus studying their soul. I believe if we give with a sincere heart even if we have been misinformed.

The gonna still bless the sincerity of our heart rate but ideally you want to actually bless Israel. So if let's say you're going to give to some radical leftist party that wants to tear the nation apart.

That's not blessing, but if you say I know the poor people are. I know there new refugees that need help. I know their messianic Jewish correlational planters that are struggling.

I know that there are handicapped kids that need better attention. I so would you want to do your best to give intelligently so that it does actually bless Israel and and you will find out there look, I heard years back that Japanese Christians raised a large amount of money to bless messianic Jews in Israel and they got misinformed and it ended up in the hands of Orthodox Jews and in the messengers for shock as they had worked with them to help fund some major works and it got to other hands, let's give intelligent friends give go through together for Israel you I give this a great place and so little overhead so it just going straight and straight, and straight in to bless and meet needs and you actually go and see tangibly throw allies which are giving stun thank you Eric for the question. Scott real quickly grabbed some more calls but you you've actually God TV his work with Jennifer Israel and you've actually met with were sensuous mayors of cities in our Texas rabbis and said Christians have given this money to help rebuild this broken down run down the children's home or or or facility looking responses to get yes phenomenal God TV is partnered with me on two particular playgrounds were at. We actually have two more in the ground right now and it's phenomenal.

But these Orthodox Jewish mayors and rabbis from cities, one of whom kissed both of my cheeks and said you have no idea what you're doing for the children of this community and I know Mike you and I were together. Actually, big Sean when the Orthodox rabbi of the city came over now if if I sent Mike Brown the messianic Jew is here and Scott Voelker, Jewish believer in Jesus. I don't think he would've come to greet us, but because we were reaching out to be a blessing to the poor and needy in that city's arms were wide open to us. So you know that one of the callers that how can you bless Israel.

I believe that blessing Israel is exactly what you said but we have to remember that Paul's motivation for blessing in Romans 1527 was the believers in Israel the saints in Jerusalem. He collected offerings for the believers if we pipette excusing if we bypass the believers were bypassing God's intention for blessing Israel by the way, when you going to tour Israel. It also blesses Israel and the law right away that held it with a large infrastructure and economy of this and we have another call in a New Mexico said all right let's go to Emily near Greenville South Carolina. Thanks much for holding welcome to the line of fire? Or talking morning about tribulation rapture and off, but it can click JAL no real for phones earlier and you hung around. Yeah PostScript rapture because of what Jesus said in Matthew 24, 29 immediately after the tribulation is going to gather exact and you'll chapter 12 showing me that it looked like it might be before if it 12 points at that time Michael shall stand up to great print to stand watch over the sons of your people, and there shall be a time of trouble.

I think that the tribulation never went there with the nation, even to that time and then. And at that time your people shall be delivered. Every was found written in the book and many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake them Tabula I and some to shame and everlasting contempt and model my parents like you're going to go before I get that at that time right right so yeah exactly great great question and you'll be glad to know that Prof. Craig Keener and I have a book coming out in March called, not afraid of the antichrist, not afraid of the antichrist. Why we don't believe in the pre-tribulation rapture so that book coming out. Craig is a New Testament scholar. My focus is been Old Testament that we have a lot of overlap and what we write.

It's written on a popular little for everyone to understand. Yes. So Matthew 24 is quite explicit in terms of after the tribulation of of those times and second Thessalonians 1 is quite explicit that when Jesus comes in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who don't know God that that's when our salvation will come. So that's that's what say this can be a time of tremendous tribulation and that we were. Though I should say those whose names are written in the book of life will be delivered those they won't be destroyed. They went when the Messiah comes to destroy the wicked, they won't be destroyed and God also says if you look at the the end of of Isaiah the 25th chapter 26 chapter. It talks about going into art. The inner chamber hiding until the wrath passes by God can deliver you without taking you out. He delivered the children of Israel and the 10 plagues report out they were not put out the land of Goshen. They were right there but they were protected by God.

So this can be protection for God's people in the midst of tribulation and then final deliverance.

That's what Paul writes about Romans 1126 all Israel will be saved. Hey friends, thanks for posting questions on YouTube calling and again Scott and I really want to encourage you, February 1-10. If you been thinking about it.
