You will not believe the results of a poll about the beliefs of Jewish millennial's in America today edits the hundredth anniversary of what stage for the line of fire with your host activist and 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 now by calling 866-34-TRUTH index 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Welcome to our thoroughly wish Thursday broadcast Michael Brown here delighted to be with you on this very special day marking the hundredth anniversary of something very important in the history of modern Israel.

If you have a Jewish related question I could be Hebrew related. It could be related to Judaism. It could be related to Israel and the Middle East. It could be a specific messianic prophecy Jewish background type question. Phone lines are open 866-348-7884 that is number to call 866-34-TRUTH with your Jewish related questions. I want to get into the results of a poll, a barn, a poll that was done for Jews for Jesus, but just as a professional poll of Jewish millennial's with some striking surprising results.

I I'm personally very surprised to see them and pleased in terms of an open door for the gospel. But obviously there are issues of assimilation that come up as well, but raise concerns will talk about that a first though, that we share with you an article that I wrote last night posted today can read it@stream.org and it is quite striking, quite striking. You know if you have followed the modern saga of Israel that Hamas in Gaza has been digging tunnels for years to come.

Underneath Israel to come out surprised Israelis kidnap a soldier killed someone a wreak havoc on a kindergarten. Those kind of things have been going on, and Israel destroyed many of the tunnels during the last war with Hamas and against his war against terrorism in Israel so they've now been developing technology in order to recognize that the tunnels because these are complex, they have branches going to places Hamas is also digging tunnels to smuggle arms from Egypt into into Gaza so this is something they have done and they do and Israel discovered a tunnel and it was on Israeli territory.

Okay understand on Israeli territory and they detonated it on their side, so here you have terrorists who encroached onto Israeli territory in NY for acts of terror. Okay, they they do that and what happens what happens. Israel detonates the tunnel on their end. As a result of it collapses on the other side there are terrorists who are killed and wounded seven killed nine wounded. Some of them were killed as they were going in to try to rescue their comrades. There and some of the ones that were killed with Islamic Jihad not Hamas but Islamic Jihad obviously they have in common their hatred of Israel and they were upset the spokesman for Islamic Jihad was upset. Why was he upset because this was a terrorist aggression by Israel. What excuse me.

Yes, this was a an active terrorist aggression by Israel also found Israel detonating a terror tunnel on its own territory by doing that and stopping a terrorist attack, and again on Israel's own soil underground Israel by doing that is guilty of a terrorist aggression that's that's like a rapist who successfully fought off by the woman he attacks accusing her of being too aggressive. Wow, turning the world upside them will be right back here on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution there again is Dr. Michael Brown what are you looking to the line of fire Michael Brown here on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday, so this is the hundredth anniversary of the Balfe our declaration and this is of tremendous importance in modern Jewish history and you have to understand that leading up to this 1917 there was a movement, a strong Zionist movement hurt soul and the sinus convention. That's going back roughly 2020 years earlier than that. And prayer movements for the restoration of Jewish people dose to be going on for some time, but in addition to that you had now a large influx of Jewish people coming back to what was called Palestine and had been called that since Hadrian renamed it after the destruction in 135 A.D. after the second Jewish revolt.

So this was a derogatory name given by the Romans to associate with the Philistines into to make it less connected to the Jewish people in the history of Israel also known as Palestine, but if you are Palestinian at that time.

For example, the Palestinian post-Palestinian orchestra is modern Jewish history is developing the early 20th century that that was Jewish Palestinian post-was the original I'm in Jerusalem post-Palestinian orchestra was that was a Jewish orchestra, so Jews had been coming into the land more more buying territory from Arabs and others that own them developing the land as they develop the land, then more Arabs came to live there. So you had a population explosion, but plenty of room for everybody. Jews and Arabs side-by-side plenty of room for everybody and obviously God was at work in this and this was the letter sent by author James Balfe our to Lord Rothschild in England November 2, 1917. So again you have the burgeoning Zionist movement. Jewish people returning to the land cultivating the land. Obviously, God was initiating this because the centuries before that you had not had this Jewish movement, God was working in many different ways, spiritually and naturally to make this happen and this was, not to the detriment of the Arab populace. At this time that was living there, who by the way, did not identify themselves as Palestinians. They did not see themselves as part of a Palestinian state. At that time.

This of course is no secret, widely known, but this was a benefit also to the, the, the local peoples that were there so things are being developed and there is so I'll read the text for a moment that we just grab this article here yet, so it's 100 years later and I'm gonna hurt sites of infantry supposed in a moment. Here's the here's the letter Gerald Ostrow, the Ottoman Turks. They had controlled his territory previously announced after World War II. Now it's time for Jewish sovereignty as well.

I have much pleasure and conveyance you on behalf of his Majesty's government. The following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations, which is been submitted to and approved by the cabinet, his Majesty's government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of the subject being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish community spouse out of the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Certainly God was in this and the Jerusalem Post has an article from Prime Minister Netanyahu. His words 100 years after Balfe, our Palestinians should accept Jewish state right. This is an article by Tova lazar off from London. The Palestinians have yet to take the basic step that Great Britain did 100 years ago when it issued the Balfe our declaration recognizing the right of the Jewish people to a state in their homeland. This is what British department premised in China, told his British counterpart on Thursday. Quote 100 years after Balfe our the Palestinian should finally accept a Jewish national home and finally accepted your state when they do the road to peace will be closed within my opinion piece will be achievable. Let me say something about the significance of this God ultimately owns the world. God ultimately owns every piece of dirt on the earth.

The world and all that is in it, the universe belongs to him and what significant writing an article for a book on this right now chapter in a book with significant is how God identifies with the land of Israel in the Bible. Although the whole world is his. He called off the children of Israel to be a kingdom of priests, a special possession, although the whole world is is he carved out certain lands that this is the smiling this because of my inheritance as my allotment and I'm giving it to the children of Israel. That's why the children of Israel sitting in the land was especially heinous in his sight because this was his land and now they were defiling his land. The Canaanites had defiled his land so he drove them out, that he put his people Israel or when they defiled the land he drove them out as well, but it belongs to him and he can give it to whomever he pleases. Now after World War I the world began to carve up the Middle East into states that were never there before. For example, a country like Saudi Arabia did not exist as a country had all these different tribal entities and that was through much of the Arab/Muslim world that these tribal groups, tribal entities new to this day a country like Yemen.

Its deepest roots, or its tribal roots, geographical borders or are secondary to that so much of the Middle East got carved up in ways that adopt in before was God at work in this. Was this just man at work that can easily be debated. God's obviously at work as man is at work but certainly because of the biblical implications of the biblical ramifications certainly the restoration of the Jewish homeland was of great great importance.

The prophets had declared it the promise of restoration from the Babylonian captivity was never fulfilled.

There is more still to comp plus there must be a Jewish homeland in the Jewish Jerusalem for end time prophecies to be fulfilled and for Jewish people to welcome back the Messiah. So this is of great significance. I recognize the hand of God at work in this all right. And even though it is a letter from Balfe. Our to Lord Rothschild, it is still the hand of God that is working in this and there were prayer movements that were leading up to this praying for the restoration of the Jewish people.

One of my former students is now a professor at the Kings University has up the Jewish studies department there and get his PhD at Cambridge University, but prior to that, and prior to studying in our school in Maryland. Back at that time he had studied in Japan where he met his wife, wonderful woman with a great heart for Israel and the seminary in which he studied in Japan had roots when the leader of the simmering one planet came back.

I believe he had been a missionary in Mongolia from correct but he came back it was before World War II and he came back to Japan with the burden and mandate from the Lord to pray one for the restoration of the Jewish people to their homeland to Fort Jerusalem to come back into Jewish hands. Three for the return of the Messiah.

What you know what you know God is answered printable one printable to make you think that prayer number three is going to be answered in the not-too-distant future as well. The key thing is this.

The key thing is this God has been at work to restore the Jewish people back to Linda, throughout the simple syllogism that after this will take some of your calls and then I want to get into the startling results of this poll okay if we know from Scripture when God blesses no one can curse when he curses no one can bless if we know from Scripture when God opens a door that we can shut it when he closes the door don't open.

If we know from Scripture when God smites someone can heal. When he feels we can smite if we know all of that is true. We know when he scatters no one can regather when he regathered his no one can scatter if we know that's true. If God judged Israel judge the Jewish people scattered my people around the world in judgment rejecting the Messiah rejecting Moses, rejecting the prophets if he did that, then how is it that we have 6 million Jews living in the land today. How is it with old world hostility against Israel that we are still here it is because God has regathered us.

I put that forwarded debates of put that forward on the radio.

I put that forward in social media. I put it up at Ford and many many different settings and to this moment. No one has yet given me a coherent, biblically-based response. If God scattered us who regathered us did we have the power to undo God's curse that the devil have the power to certainly not scattered us his wrath see himself God himself who regathered us in his motion right back with your calls her and gives the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown in the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown 7884 take some of your Jewish related questions and then after that get into the results of the poll was done about beliefs of Jewish millennial's with some very, very surprising results. I was starting California with Marcus. Welcome to the line of fire by Dr. Brown hello Dr. Bierman yes I can. Thank you to take my call in your server to the body's Dr. I have a question about the paperwork idea, and I'm not and to me what I can see they look to be like spin and and am just wondering if you could confirm or correct yeah. I mean, they both they both can mean that Nessie can mean Prince more and then leader secondarily not deed is leader first. They're very similar. But if you're using a word say Mela his king Nessie would be priest that would be the more logical word to use.

So there similar but not see leans more to priest not deed leans more just to leader, but they they can be used interchangeably in certain context for sure. But basically, the assumption is that very few words or total synonyms.

If you dig deeply enough right you know in any language because it would be redundant to have the exact similar Alyssa came in for like a foreign language within. Why would you add that if you really had that citizen normally if you dig deep enough some difference but often these words could be used as a set interchangeably but not see primarily priest Maggie excuse me, Prince and Nike primarily leader. Do a quick follow-up and structure okay.I or the curtain in Daniel 927 the printed translate from time to the perimeter of the complex. I looked up the word and not you, rather than not be and I'm wondering that because he's not given the honor of kingship and God. Maybe that was what Daniel intended. It's possible that certainly possible. Would you have to decide is being used in a general sense or very specific sense.

That's, that's where you dig.

That's where you word studies and think it through. So that's a fair question to ask. It could be a foreign leader and and just being identified as such as a Nike this a foreign leader so it could be used very specifically or very generally and that's we have to really dig deep, so it's a valid question but one that I would not answer dogmatically unless I really dug deep and came to a conclusion okay working. There you're very welcome spirit. You're asking the right questions about weld on that 866-34-TRUTH we go to David in Baltimore. Welcome to the line of fire.

Dr. Brown or mark of honor you and important know that I love good people and and and my equipment that Dr. controversial. Not that I'm trying to hurt anyone, but did not do.but looking for an yeah I got it straight speak freely. My quest American God gave me love good people, but I wonder.how effectively messianic Jewish people will follow Jewish wavelike important you know matter for good abet out outside of pimp out and and and you can't understand that it just so many of them give you perspective right.

We all have certain solidarity because we we grow up certain ways certain culture certain people right if if someone criticized your own family your first instinct is going to be to protect and cover and defend naturally right. I've learned a lot. For example, is a white American from black callers because of life experiences. They had that I didn't have and that really helped give me a perspective like that why you taken the side here. What you don't know what I live through and I okay that help so as Jews we know our history that we been persecuted. We been hated weeping trip out of country after country. Two thirds of European Jews were exterminated by the Nazis. To this day, Israel is a hated country with constant world opposition. The media often demonizing Israel and the Jewish people. So we are used to that and therefore when we see what we feel is unjust criticism of Israel will be quick to stand up for them now as friends of Israel when I can defend everything Israel does his true friends even speak the truth and as as friends of of our own Jewish people will be the first to say that American Jews are very secular that you have American Jews relieving atheists that was that that we recognize problems among our own people with the most religious rabbis the most devoted reject Jesus the most vehemently but when it comes to anti-Semitic charges against her people when it comes to demonizing Israel then working to be quick to to speak up and defend our own people, but I think again recognizing that anyone is going to do that. In other words, if if it's your own tribe your own group and and you recognize how it could be misrepresented, attacked, spoken of wrongly then your you're going to naturally speak up for the event. It is that hard to succeed you feel it's something worse than that are deeper than that.

Dr. I'm not worried about what I would like. I may again… But like you. I'm you have to request out of a pound ago it to Athol okay will talk another day if you got a run will talk another day but let me just say this though all ultimately our foremost allegiance. Like any other follow Jesus as to the Lord and to his word into what's right and if messianic Jews continue to live is just simple.

Why wouldn't say who said don't observe the Sabbath on Saturday observed on Sunday were set in the Bible who said cancel out Passover and start a new holiday called Easter is supposed to celebrate the death and resurrection of the Messiah within Passover, who said that so for us to continue to live as Jews were doing with the apostles did doing with the first followers of Jesus did, which is as Jews follow Jesus, the Jew, but ultimately our issue is going to be Stan was just to stay with the word of God with your best to do it and anyone should have more to say what will catch up with you and you have some more time. Bless you man have a good day. Tell you what I don't have time to get to another call right now will get some more calls.

On the other side of the break, but it's as interesting as it connected as it connected yesterday the 500th anniversary of the Reformation the day on which we remember Martin Luther nailing or pasting his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg. Then the next day so hundredth anniversary of the bow far declaration by the way is just reading American taxes book on Luther's we had Eric on suggest yesterday the year after he wrote his horrific diatribe concerning the Jews in their lives. He wrote to him in which he said it's our sins that nailed Jesus to the cross should involve Jews for a while, I will be right back much more to come your way on thoroughly Jewish Thursday it's the line of fire with your host activist and author internationals leader and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 86643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome welcome to our hundredth anniversary of the bow.

If our declaration and a lot of talk now in the Jewish world, especially in the messianic Jewish world about the pole that George Barna did so respected Christian poster, but respected pollster. Did on behalf of Jews for Jesus examining the beliefs of Jewish millennial's today really get into that shortly 866-34-TRUTH 866348784 if you make Jewish -related question before that I check this out. This was Newsweek.com yesterday article by Nicole good, kind Jews should concern Americans more than Russian influence Nigel Faraj says yet trump alley and breaks it leader Nigel Frost is there something American should worry about more than Russian meddling Jews, fraudulent Monday interview some of the so-called Jewish lobby is an overwhelming power in America during a discussion about Russia's interference in US politics quote. There are other very powerful lobbies in the United States of America and the Jewish lobby, with its links with the Israeli government is one of those strong voices so interested. No question that there's a powerful Jewish lobby in America no question that Jews in America have a lot of political influence and cultural influence. No question about it disproportionately, so as part of our calling to be world changers and we do it for better or for worse.

With the influence that we have but to say should be more worried about that than Russian know what Russia is external tampering to the extent Russia was involved in any way with trying to influence elections America I'm sure is involved with other nations from influence their elections, but to compare the two is disarming. Faraj is a smart guy.

This seems more incendiary to me than anything and concerns maps he have to dig deeper.

If the larger context but cool like that is concerning 866-34-TRUTH to the phones we go to market in California. Welcome to the line of fire doing well. Thanks. My question was, you're talking about how God together people of Israel.

I just wanted to know your opinion on and I know you're not really like where you're coming from but I want to get your opinion. Have you read any of Dr. Arnold about work and typically when you talk about the true regathering. One for judgment or tribulation, one for one thing after yeah.

First, I have great respect for Dr. Fritz abound here and there, we participated in conferences together, but he's one of the world's leading messianic Jewish theologians.

His massive work that came out of his doctoral dissertation at NYU Israel apology is a key work. He's has at length in depth studies of different books of the Bible so extended teaching sees he's one of our top teachers. He is a dispensational switch.

I'm not. And he is a cessation, especially non-charismatic and I'm charismatic so we have differences there, but I have the utmost respect for him and his work a dispensational list would see the regathering of the Jewish people back to the land now even though it's the hand of God at work that they'll be heavy judgment on the Jewish people during the tribulation.

And then a final glorious regathering.

I wouldn't say that this regathering now is specifically for judgment to me why we praying for it and working with it. Why do so many messianic Jews make aliyah and live in Israel. We recognize God's hand.

This is part of his restoration work so I don't see this regathering for judgment. I see this regathering for restoration. However, with the return of the Lord, I believe there will be a supernatural final regathering of Jews scattered all around the world in the most supernatural ways so I think we would agree in part, and disagree, in part, perhaps over the fact that he's dispensational list on the utmost respect and appreciation for the fourth 2000 and his work on file. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown will is the headline on the Jerusalem Post study 1/5 of Jewish millennial's believe Jesus is the son of God, yeah.

This is according to major survey done by George Barna on behalf of Jews for Jesus up. Please understand, they did not say this is a Jews for Jesus survey. This was just a survey of Jewish millennial's look at this headline Jerusalem Post 1/5 of Jewish millennial's believe Jesus is the son of God. It also says in headlines analysis. Israel is losing support among minorities and millennial's dozens of Israelis stand up for friends Ross Keller in Tel Aviv approached protest. That's other headlines there on the article Jerusalem Post. But the fact the fact of the matter is, let me make this as plain as possible. I have never seen polling results like this before.

I have never seen polling results like this before, not granted. This points to a lot of assimilation granted, this points to Jewish people, more Jews having Christmas trees in their homes unless Jews growing up as observant. I understand it, hence the openness to beliefs about Jesus but but let let's let's dig into this because this is what's happening in this tells me the harvest is right know assimilation is not the goal.

The goals for Jews to find their Messiah and rightly connect to God as Jews, but here at some of the reports from Barna first question who is considered a Jew so they they went through the data Jewish millennial's report details and definitions and you had to consider yourself Jewish and have at least one parent who is Jewish 100% Jewish, or both parents are no less than half Jewish, and it goes on from there.

They then conducted a quantitative online survey among 1503 Jewish adults using the body definition is the qualifier 599 of those Jewish adults 18 years older were millennial's born in 1984 and after so that is the basis of the data that you had to be born 1984 and after and identifies a Jew and either one of your parents is hundred percent Jewish, or both. Or at least half Jewish, as they they go through the data. It's it's quite striking to get back to the summary in Jerusalem Post.

These young adults describe themselves as religious and practice Jewish ritual, but are unaffiliated, they value tradition and family, but don't plan on marrying only Jews there proudly Jewish, but don't feel that contradicts with practicing other religions is a kind of server that could be useful Jewish planners, if only for the organization that commission and funded it Jews for Jesus, the evangelical group that for decades has been try to draw Jews toward belief in Christ survey was conducted by the Barna group reputable polling firm specializing in religion, especially conservative Christianity, but schools to conduct market research for messianic Jews to Susan Perlman, Brenda moms Jews were Jesus said this was very hopeful from our perspective, this was a generation that was spiritual that is willing to engage in the subject of whether or not Jesus might be the Messiah. All we can ask for is an open mind to engage with the Bible engage with the culture and look at the possibilities of some Jewish leaders present with the evidence that's sought to show people I know and I want to interact with messianic Jewish millennial's and asked them this this line up with the world you live in this lineup with the beliefs of others.

The fact is that dear all, the survey found that 21% of Jewish millennial's believe Jesus was God in human form, who lived among people in the first century and 28% see him as a rabbi or spiritual leader, but not God. So that's 49%.

CM is either rabbi spiritual leader or son of God.

That's pretty significant. Would you say the openness to non-Jewish practice extends beyond 42's percentage responsivity celebrate Christmas, so if that in fact is the case in the lower synagogue attendance. This does reflect larger openness to other religion and larger openness to who Jesus is. That's positive let's see some the negative is that it points towards assimilation with these Jews and generations to come. Their children will no longer have any Jewish identity by Pearson striking if they come to faith in Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. This might reinvigorate their connection to Israel.

Jewish people. I have friends of mine who live in Israel today who were secular Jews will be totally happy to marry non-Jews were secular is and and and no real connection to the Jewish people. They live in Israel now and in their deeply connected with her people. Why because they came to faith in Jesus, the Jewish Messiah that changed everything. 866-34-TRUTH. Let us go to Winston-Salem, North Carolina Charles, welcome to the line of fire room thanks. Also, quick question will be equipment per object or background. If you have built with problems.

The left Israelite from a familiar with the owner and myself. Not very much, so good. Hundreds of little bit of input with an experiment minimum of the question. I will click on submit agreement to use a lot is the Scriptures in Revelation where it says that people call themselves to write synagogue saw in Revelation 2 and Revelation 3 yes your thoroughness best benefit amount up on your okay got it so first thing like you were Israelites.

There are various different groups in the some of you are really listening to me right now that identifies like Hebrews. Some who come very close to having a real faith in Jesus, the Messiah, but a militant that the original Hebrews are black that today's Jews are not really Israelites or Hebrews in any true sense of the word, and that Torah observance is mandatory for all that follow Jesus Yeshua the Messiah and some have beliefs that are more extreme than that, but my understanding greatly helped by my friend and colleague, Sir Marcy, who's been on the air with this before and he's been my key source listed in the history himself as a black Jew and a follower of Jesus the Messiah. And from what I understand, there were black Americans that traced their roots back to the Jewish people. At what point they intersect, how far back the roots go, that's what's debated physical all the way back into the Tom's of antiquity in biblical times as it subsequently skews a scattered around the world and intermarry and others convert into Judaism. Those things are debated does it reflect the original color of the Israelites or the that's all stuff that's debated but he identifies these these these black Americans are African-Americans identified as Jews. That was their heritage, their culture became to faith in Jesus, they still exist.

There are limits of black Jews and in America today.

Synagogues and rabbis, etc. and you have pockets in Africa were this is that the case as well get the history of the origins that can all be debated and discussed. But they at a certain point, a movement began that all Blacks were somehow traced back to Israel that Blacks were the original Israel and then with it a real patriot of the white man.

So those who are Caucasian Jews. I was to be rejected is not real Jews. That's some of the background I oversimplify the try to make that point. What about Revelation 2 and Revelation 3 were Jesus speaking to the church in Sardis and the season the church in Smyrna and the church in Philadelphia speaks of those opposing the gospel and says they claim to be Jews, but they are not there synagogue of Satan that you possibilities one is that one Jews the mark.

They were people oppose the gospel, who claim to be Jews everywhere.ironically, just like some of these like Hebrews who claim to be Israelites and are not right that they claim to be Jews and were not. They were liars they were deceivers they were imposters.

And that's what Jesus says there synagogue of Satan or it's just prophetic because as Jews they should've been embracing the Messiah and this is a prophetic rebuke. You claim to be my people really not my people claim to be Jews.

But in spirit, you're not really Jews. It would be like me saying hey Charles you not really a man in a let's say, God forbid you wasted all your money on gambling I said get on a man what you are a man.

You're a male of secretly acting like a man, or someone said to me if I was there wasting my money on alcohol and the clutch in my family you're not a man you're not a husband and father llama man. I am a husband and father, but I'm not living up to it so that's all would be God often rebuked his Jewish people in that way I can assure you that my lineage goes back to ancient Israel, and I can assure you that the bulk of those identifies Jews today have a real connection to ancient Israel and we are not just later imposters going to be Jews and are not a thank you sir for the question. We got time for more questions.

So stay right there on hold I will get your questions on the inside of the break on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday and then I want I want ask you to pray with me about something very important member. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. All right villagers there's 866. I will ask you to pray with me for something very important.

I'm about to begin laying out broadcasts that we really be recording for Middle East TV. This is the first of its kind on you to be talking behind the desk speaking to Israelis over an networking TV network that gets into every home in Israel with cable TV so it gives us the opportunity to reach the majority of the people of Israel and it's it's a watch station as well and it's it's growing. And in people viewing it because it's got all kinds of different programming, not just Christian or Jewish outreach programming, but send camera crews into Israel. They interviewed Israelis from secular Orthodox, a list of questions I asked.

Now I'm going through that footage and picking out where want to go with this and this and this show and faith in God and belief in the Scriptures, and why Jesus is the Messiah, so please pray for anointing on the color really gave me the plan really give me clarity to speak words that will draw Israelis to Yeshua, would you do that and were praying about key ways to reach out to the Jewish people of their some of these are the need additional funding were praying for as we have the strategies in place, will let you know.

Let's go over to Israel. A manual welcome to want to fire around young age is observed little hard to hear you are yes what what will try go ahead I'm going to go and acquire living. Yes, I can go ahead directly member yes and I heard about it. Let thank you note. About 501.what is it about yes so I've thank you for the call and thank you for listening during Israel, sir. Number one.

The Reformation was overwhelmingly positive and what it did. It got the Scriptures into the hands of your average believer open up the. The trees of justification by faith and the main writing of Martin Luther that was circulated for years was a positive writing in 1523 called that Jesus Christ was born a Jew and it was reaching out with humility to the Jewish people and it was recognizing the sins of the church. Up until that time against the Jewish people and Martin Luther's later writings, his horrific writings 1543 in particular concerning the Jews and their lies. Those were largely rejected by his contemporaries and largely ignored by subsequent generations of Lutheran. Some repudiated them.

Others ignored them and use the 15, 23 writings so it's absolutely tragic and horrific that that Joseph Goebbels and Hitler took the words of Luther and said let's put these into practice and use them at the very beginning of what many say is the the official start of the Holocaust November 9 and 10th of 1938. So Kristallnacht, the synagogues attacked Jewish places of business. Broken down and destroyed Jews attacked and even killed. So November 9. It starts November 10 people wake up in the synagogues are burning the German people really did not stand up to speak against it. Tragically, the fact of the matter is they put into practice exactly what Luther would recommend his words the synagogue should be set on fire places of worship, broken down destroyed rabbis forbidden under penalty of death to teach these were the things that the Nazis ultimately implemented and they started by carrying out Luther's very exact words and the tragic irony of it is, it was done on November 9, November 10 Germans wake up with synagogues burning in the news of what happened and lo and behold I would be Luther's birthday in one of the leading churchmen of the day. One of the bishops said what what a great coincidence, paraphrase the synagogues or birds that are burning on the birthday of Martin Luther. However, the Reformation itself was not anti-Semitic. The Reformation did not fully and rightly embrace and recognize all of God's purposes for Israel but the Reformation itself was not anti-Semitic and loose there and the reformers wanted to bring about certain changes because of some of the negative practices of the church before so it's exceptionally tragic at horrific that Luther wrote those things.

It's deplorable and inexcusable at the same time. That was not what he was known for in terms of the Jewish people for centuries and Lutherans, of course, of repudiated those writings subsequently. Now here's one of the thing a manual is that when you look at church history, it's the evangelical church it's the Puritans it's those that followed on the heels of the Reformation so the Puritans in England in 1600 and and the Moravians in Germany. In 1700s and the Scottish Presbyterians in in Scotland in the 1800s and the Spurgeon's of the people like that and then right up until the 20th century with evangelical support of Israel that these movements were all Protestant movements. All were that of the Reformation that all had a tremendous love for Israel, in part or in whole, had a tremendous love for Israel and pray for the Jewish people so overwhelmingly there were positive results in the Reformation with some things that still needed to be undone.

Hey thank you sir for the call 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to Nazareth in Hickory, North Carolina. Welcome to modify time is short so jump right in. Dr. Brown questionnaire requested.

I know the early church was doing that I can do it be about Jewish not be coming from a Catholic background on product but now my question is, when did you pick it went.

It become doing about the so so it's it's a gradual shift and give a a lengthy answer very very briefly yet Jewish roots initially Jewish followers of Jesus, and the doors open gentile followers of Jesus equal footing equal standing. No one higher than the other.

As more and more Gentiles come in.

There was less and less appreciation of Jewish roots is more more Gentiles come in and more more traditions are developed and you have a leadership that becomes more and more hierarchical. It becomes more and more of what ultimately became the Catholic Church, a Catholic, of course, as it was desolate was from day one of us got 10 I say no it shifted first second third century, and then use the most full-blown really beginning in fourth century right friends back with you.

You got questions. We got answers right here tomorrow. On the one fire
