Welcome to today's show to be answering questions that are being posted right now on this Facebook video as it is going out live. So if it is a Jewish related question Hebrew related specific Old Testament type related modern Israel related even some on Islam I might be able to touch on poster question posted in the most distinct way that you can you take issue with me on something if it's really long won't be able to read it would be as concise as you can. I'll do my best to get to as many questions and comments of yours as I can, as well as give you some interesting information.

Over the course of this show art so knock me out the phone number but it is our thoroughly Jewish Thursday broadcast, but you may be watching it live on Facebook on Wednesday. Let me try to possibility for you.

Jesus is good for the Gentiles.

He's good for the Gentiles, with the Jews don't need. Let's let's consider this from it may look how many people addicted to drugs, idol worshipers, sexually immoral, atheist, godless people whenever all around the world have come to worship the God of Israel made a little different form. Some of said international Trinity everywhere about him still.

They turned away from all the bad stuff they worship the God of Israel.

They believe the Old Testament and the new are are God's work in Italy much better lives so good for them.

Great Jesus helps the attics Jesus helps the street people. Jesus helps the lost and the destitute, but you still need him as is one rabbi said to me many years ago we Jews don't need we don't need saving were ready say so maybe that's the case maybe she said with the Jewish people have their faith to have the religion to have the tour they have their God with them have that we are part take the message to the Gentiles about Jesus. That's fine right what's impossible about what is is not an option either. Jesus is the Jewish Messiah as written in the New Testament either. He is the one who fills it was written, Moses and the prophets. When you find that you find in all the Gospels define an action fund the letters you find in the book of Revelation either Jesus is the one he is the line of the tribe of Judah is the root and offspring of Jesse. He is the long promised Messiah of Israel, in which case every Jew should follow him.

Every Jew in that sense, I mean organizationally better.

That's it should be a Jew for Jesus. Every Jew on the planet should recognize you.

She was the Messiah, the one who brought God near to us.

We could on the following or, conversely, if the New Testament is wrong. If Jesus wasn't the Messiah if he didn't die for our sins. He didn't rise from the dead.

If he didn't ascend to the right hand of the father then nobody should worship nobody should believe it was is not an option to sailboat Judaism and Christianity are both beautiful religions, both beautiful world religions, not an option not an option. They could both be wrong. That's an option right but they both can't be right that the New Testament can't be right, and rabbinic writings right at the same time. If the rabbis rejected Jesus as the Messiah and the New Testament says he is the Messiah and he really is that every Jew on the planet should follow. If, conversely, the rabbis right. Jesus did not fill filled messianic prophecy is not the Messiah, he didn't die and rise for the sins of the world, then no one should follow him, yet it's an inconvenient truth. It's an inconvenient truth and I she think of any book that expands on this how Jesus the Jew is the ultimate stumbling block at the intersection of Judaism and Christianity. So idea that Jesus is good for the Gentiles does not trust Jews and doesn't worry Messiah of Israel and their is not the Messiah of Israel and therefore he's the Savior of fire, we will file the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH dear again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome friends welcome back to our special broadcasts.

This is early Jewish Thursday being aired live stream on Facebook on Wednesday.

If you look at this in a different part of the world. Who knows what day your listening or viewing this but I'm answering Jewish related questions that are being posted right now as I'm doing this live stream on trellis travelogue come to a Shiloh question in a moment, but let's just see looking at some of the questions that have been posted here on YouTube.

Let's see here. Brian what did baptism mean to Jews in Jesus days on earth. Baptism, you would think of as immersion and there were various ritual purposes for immersion. For example, if you were a member of the Essenes as we understand it most likely the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Many of the scrolls of this was something that was done daily ritual immersion. There was immersion for uncleanness but say it excellently touched the dead body you be richly immersed after after us sexual relations. There would be immersion this would be for certain outward cleansing and there would also be immersion associated with repentance, so any movement with John the a Mercer preaching and crowds coming in repenting the symbol of washing and this new beginning this new life. This would be seen and known through immersion through baptism and if you go on a tour of Israel. You'll see when you're in the old city of Jerusalem in your near with the ancient temple would have stood you'll see all these different places steps going down a little thing in the middle steps going up work were people would get a Mercer note you have these all over, so it shall fourth day of Pentecost feast of weeks in and asked the second chapter talks about 3000 being immersed in one day.

There would've been plenty of places in which they could have been immersed so it had to do with ritual washing.

It had to do with rededication cleansing and repentance in certain contexts. Let's see okay there's a question as to how can we prove the how can we prove the authenticity of the genealogies of Jesus in the New Testament to Jewish person Matthew one and Luke three. We can't prove that we can't prove the authenticity of any ancient genealogy. The roads we can't go back in time and have video footage showing each person through the centuries and here's the family and this that we don't have DNA of each individual and can can prove and verify we can show is that the genealogies are not mutually contradictory. We can show that there is a theological intent in the genealogies. Hence Matthew mentioning women.

For example, and women that would've been of ill repute and and how these would be part of the genealogy foreigners Gentile women like Ruth and Ray have helped their part of the genealogy and and how this a suspicion of adultery with Miriam the Virgin mother of Yeshua and and how she fits in this as well because Virgin born that knowledge is not virgin born, there is immorality someone's hiding something. So this theological intent Matthew showing that Jesus the Messiah is a descendent of Abraham, the descendent of David, the best thing we can do and I do this in some depth in volume 4 of answering Jewish objections to Jesus.

I explained how the genealogies are not mutually contradictory, and how the best way to read them is Matthew giving us the royal lineage through Joseph she was earthly father and Luke in Luke three giving us the lineage through his mother Miriam Mary.

This is been something discussed through the centuries and I believe it's the best way to read the text again. If you have a Jewish related question. Right now you're watching a live stream of this on Facebook Post your question.

That's how were answering them. Today is your also listening on radio okay let's see Susan which parts of the Old Testament are relevant to Christians today all parts but not all the same way all parts are relevant because the Old Testament is Christians call it is God's word.

It was the Bible of Jesus and the apostles and all of it is relevant.

Romans 15 four tells us whatever was written before him was written to give us hope. First Corinthians 1011 said that that the judgments that came on ancient Israel are given as examples for us so that we don't commit the same sin they committed. Jesus is Matthew 517 didn't come to abolish the law, the prophets, but to for Phyllis's and John Tennyson verse 35 that the Scripture cannot be broken assess in second Timothy 316 that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God in the Scripture, that time was the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament, so all of it is relevant, but not all of it is relevant the same way. For example, the laws that God gave to Israel to keep them separate from the nations.

The dietary laws and laws about not mixing types of garments or seeds or things like that. These laws were not given to all believers. They were not given to the Gentile world. The New Testament does not reinforce them for. So as you read them you learn about principles of separation you learn about principles of clean and unclean.

For example, if if you look at the tabernacle, the, the articles that were in the holiest place of all were made of gold there when you get outside of their silver and then as you get out were the people as a whole to come in bronze's of gold, silver, bronze right then you had the priests who stood in the certainly is dedicated to God, then you have Israelites were in a state of cleanness they had in regards were in a state of uncleanness and each had different access and approach right or being banned from approaching God look at foods you have foods that were considered possible for sacrifice of animals that could be sacrificed that since holy animals that were clean that you can eat animals that were unclear that you could need so everything is structured in a way to teach, teach, teach, teach, teach holiness. Separation clean, unclean, all through the Scriptures.

Leviticus 10 tells us that was a function of the priests and Levites to teach the people the difference between clean and unclean. So as you read these things. The building of the tabernacle. There were not building an earthly tabernacle now know were not offering earthly sacrifices out, but this teaches us about approach to God. It teaches us about holiness. It teaches us about things being sacred. It teaches us about going into a deeper place. Having access through the blood of the cross. So it's all relevant, but it's not all relevant in the same way on the other hand, reading the prophets and the moral expectations of the prophets or the wisdom of Proverbs of the heart cry of the Psalms are the wisdom that comes from Joel Werther but we learn the lessons of history and the accounts of the majesty of God and creation deliverance that speaks to us as if it was written in the New Testament are the media let me look at some more questions here just in why does Satan play such a huge part New Testament not as big in the Old Testament. Great question and one that I really thought about many many years ago, the answer is fairly simple. First, God had to rid the Israelites of the idea of competing deities. They were in a model they were excusing a polytheistic environment.

The nations worship other gods around and God first had to convey to them. I'm superior to all these other gods. Exodus 1511 who is like you oh Lord among the gods to be first needed to convey that he was superior to the other gods that he alone controlled nature that he alone triumphed over the gods of Egypt and the gods of Babylon, the gods of nature, and then the next level is there, not even God's and all the gods at all the God is the only uncreated Creator and ruler and King. These so-called gods of the nations leading gods also manometry God being superior to all the other so-called gods to monotheism God being the only God said to be established in the hearts and minds of the people of Israel to talk about this fallen angel named Satan his thoughts regarding worship demo. He seems really powerful fees on hurting us and spying us than that. He's the one we should be dealing with. They could easily thought that what that's why if you look for example in second Samuel 24. It's is the anger of the Lord. §24 one.

The anger of the Lord stirred up David to number Israel. When you get your first Chronicles 21 won several hundred years later it says Satan did so God was angry with David you Satan or allowed Satan to provoke him to number the people of Israel in the book of Job which mentions Satan directly in chapters 1 and two in the not directly to the rest of the book. It recounts ancient advance, but the book of Job was not written early on, the book of Job is not the earliest book written in the Bible. Some have falsely thought it was written many centuries later, perhaps around the time of the exile. Immediately before even during so Satan is revealed later. Once monotheism is established then in that case we can go behind the scenes and see what the Old Testament clearly definitely mentions is no expand on the new and by the way, and rabbinic literature.

There's more reference to Satan and demons as well.

Notice that a defined kingdom of Satan in the same way. There are demons mentioned freely and Satan mention freely so there's this much more consciousness of the devil and demons at that point, but God was strategic not introducing this concept fully. Monotheism established and get to many more Jewish related questions and come back and talk about an interesting addition as well.

All that on the special broadcaster the Jewish there is an error 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 back friends to this special simulcast. This is a Facebook live video stream on Wednesday and you're listening on radio to thoroughly Jewish Thursday on taking your Jewish related questions distraught something interesting you may not know about Jewish tradition, Jewish men were yarmulke head covering. We don't know exactly what yarmulke comes from apparently Polish word doesn't come from yet issue is it is from the Hebrew, and fearing the king or we'll know for sure. A key part is the Hebrew way of saying it but this does not go back to biblical days in terms of Jewish man or Israelites, God freemen war this on their heads. It it does not. Okay, this is later and and there's one reference to Talmudic rabbi and it says of him that he wouldn't even go a few feet without his head being covered, but that was not the universal custom even have it. Some parts of Judaism. A thousand years ago that men would be bear headed but over time it became the custom respected custom custom of the people in Judaism often a custom of the people becomes a law.

So the men hogged the custom becomes a law and that's what happened in this case a traditional Jew wouldn't think of going with his head uncovered out of respect for God, but 2000 years ago you could have had a bear had a Jew and it would not have been a problem of reference just an indication of how tradition can change things are right there is a question Hebrew from the only good clear, simple, Hebrew, easy to read and understand so he sees one. If if Yeshua told his disciples that he didn't come to abolish all the prophets, but to fulfill. And whoever would break the lease of the commandments would be leased in the King of heaven teach others to do so would be leased and where we keep there would be greatest. Why is it then. For example, that of followers of Jesus today don't keep the dietary laws, so a few different answers to this very important question number one dietary laws were not given to the Gentile world to judicial that you might say as a Christian, what I prefer to keep them great. Wonderful. You're free to God never commanded you to eat pork right British autosave grammar eating pork no no. So you're pretty free to say if God gave the zoster must be good reason for them so I and my part to keep that great fun, but God never commanded these for the Gentile world and in the New Testament and I commanded for gentile followers of Jesus, so that's the first thing so the church as a whole is not to do this, nor did God command the church as a whole to keep the biblical calendar. It's great if Christians do that. They're free to do it but he never commanded so the other question would be, well, why don't all Jewish followers of Jesus lived by the dietary laws one or all Jewish followers of Jesus. Keep these other commandment and you get a couple different answers. One is they should. The many messianic Jews who believe that we should still should that gods are with the Torah in our heart and even though were not under the Sinai covenant for justification. It's good and proper that we keep these things and that messianic you should be Sabbath observant the messianic Jews should keep the dietary laws so there are many who believe that and that's one argument that's given the other argument would be what will hang on hang on all the other commandments, what about all the commands them to do a sacrifice and offering.

And Templeton Priester.

When I researched this in volume 4 of answering Jewish objections to Jesus. I went through every commandment that sits for all generations, or its eternal and found that about 75% of them we have not been able to keep since the temple was destroyed, even with Jewish sovereignty back the land we still can't keep the vast majority of them so did God leave us unable to keep the laws or did did you sure what fulfill did he bring them to their fullest meaning and and he didn't abolish writing to say away with this, but he brought it to its fullest meeting so he now shows us in the moral commandments of the Torah.

He takes them to a deeper level, holiness and purity and not just outward actions with thoughts of the heart, not just outward adultery but adultery of the heart. He takes these things to a deeper level. He fulfills everything having to do with approach to God sacrifice, offering Priester that makes us into a spiritual priesthood and you could also argue that just like there are Jewish traditions that say that the dietary laws.

Certain documents will be binding in the world to come, that we are already with 1 foot in the world to come, and that the purpose of the dietary laws was to keep Israel separate from the nations now that Israel sent through the gospel to go to the nations. The dietary laws which symbolize separation Jew and Gentile are no longer bind suicide, a matter of discarding it's a matter saying they serve their purpose and were not under the Sinai covenant were under new and better covenant. I limited to some questions quickly here Jim, can you please define replacement theology. Yes, it's the idea that the church replaced Israel and God's dealings, that the promises that were given to Israel in the Old Testament now apply to the church. Isaiah 62 Reno pray for Jerusalem that would be the praise will the earth that now applies to the church when God sisters with a weapon formed against you will prosper that now applies to the church when God called Israel to be a light to the nations that that applies to the church but no longer to Israel that the church Jew and Gentile believer primarily Gentile. The church has replaced Israel and God's plan of redemption and there are no future national promises to Israel. It's also called super secessionism based on the idea that the church has superseded Israel in God's plan of redemption not let me say this kindly.

There are fine Christians who hold to different forms of replacement theology and they don't have an anti-Semitic on their bodies. It's also true that in church history replacement theology open the floodgates of Jew hatred and outward persecution of Jews, and in certain circles, it's doing the same today a Deborah would be offensive to Jews. If a Gentile were to use a prayer shawl while some Jews it might some Jews to be different.

Some Jews would think it's beautiful if you did something in it and a flaunting way that seemed irreverent that the one thing if you said you know what I pray I like to cover myself in a professional shawl and find it to be very sacred and meaningful and connects me to Israel to pray while one for the biggest thing is how God feels about it. Some Jews would be offended. Some a different someone think it's a positive, a Brent, how long was the Tabernacle in Shiloh. She low in Hebrew out. From what I can tell just checking some of these things on according to rabbinic literature it said. What 359, 269 years because this would have been from the time of coming out of Egypt getting established in the land from there to David bringing the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, and depending on the exact dating of the Exodus you're dealing with a punitive of 200 and change, or 300 and change almost 400 years before that happens, we learn that when Solomon builds the tabernacle one account or the temple that is 480 years from coming out of Egypt. That being the account the case than 3 to 6 and I wouldn't even be long enough, but it seems best understand that that well over three centuries in Shiloh. Or apparently that that long period of time and it didn't get staff established there as early as we think, but certainly that's the case until dated. I got time for lunch.

More questions. Thanks for posting them right here. Check out more virtuous resources go to ask Dr. Brown or just click on Jewish for real Messiah website will be back with much much more. Number by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Looking back to our thoroughly Jewish Thursday broadcast live streaming on Facebook video on Wednesday. Run taking Jewish related questions on this broadcast.

Here's a question that asked this why this is for Martina. Why do Jews in Israel not practice stoning of the judgments described in the Torah. Not that I would like this but only understand their two primary reasons reasonable one is that some of these things were no longer practiced many centuries ago because of so much adultery so much so much a murder different things that would've been punishable by stoning or death penalty under the law, that there was so much of this going on that these punishments were not carried out some would say that over the centuries that some of the development of rabbinic Judaism. It becomes more humanitarian. But the bottom line is for whites not practiced in Israel today is because you have more of a secular government. If you had ultra-Orthodox Jews take over the entire country and they could now impose the Sanhedrin on the country and everyone would have to live by ultra-Orthodox Jewish law. If, if that was the case then some of these things might be reinstituted that would still be debated, but some of them might be all right, Sue. What books would you recommend for Gentile believers seeking deeper understanding of the Jewishness of her faith why not start with my book, the real culture. Jesus, the real kosher Jesus. You'll find lots in that that will open up Jewish roots of the faith and lots of references to other really helpful literature. If you cannot read my book, our hands are stained with blood that will be of interest you as well. So the real kosher Jesus that have written and our hands are stained with blood, also classic book that's been read for several decades now, our father Abraham by Marvin Wilson Prof. Martin Wilson. Our father Abraham, you'll find that helpful as well.

All right. Let's see Rita why did you shifted to only acknowledge a Jewish child to be true only if his mother is a Jew. Jews will say traditional Jews will say it's biblical though go to Ezra Nehemiah and though say look when the Israelites intermarried the men were told to to divorce their wives, their foreign wives and and to send them away with their children. That would indicate that the children of these wives were not the Israelite or Jewish others would counter what about all of the foreign wives that Solomon had. Is there any indication that kids born to them, were not considered Israelite could make an argument that he comes through the father of from what we can tell at the time of Jesus. This was not a settled issue that lineage was traced or Jewishness determined by the father or by the mother and we don't know exactly when it became the rule in traditional Judaism, but it's been the better part of the last 2000 years. We just can trace back for sure how far is invalid biblically to city you Jewish.

If you have a Jewish mother only not. I don't see that as a valid argument.

I think the argument for patrilineal Jewishness Jewishness determines who the father is stronger. However, many of our messianic Jewish friends would have guidelines like this that if either your mother or father or Jewish and you were raised with the consciousness that you are Jewish right you were raised recognizing your Jew and either your mother or your father or Jewish, then I think, in God's sight. If you consider yourself Jewish in the case of Nancy and myself. Both of our parents were Jews. We were raised understanding we were Jews, but we would both be the first to say the big big big thing that matters. The biggest thing is not whether Jewish or Gentile. But are you in right relationship with God that can only happen through the Messiah Jesus right only get to a bunch more of shares more famous vaccination of interest to you right here on a lot of fire to special thoroughly Jewish Thursday.

The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH paradigm is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us today on the special thoroughly Jewish Thursday broadcast with some of your watching on Wednesday on Facebook live yes by a miracle of modern technology is number but you are watching a day in advance and I'm answering as many questions as I can so many great questions have been posted on Facebook Kate if you're watching on Facebook you just saw our our video about how you can partner with us on go fund you want to take a minute just go over there to watch on Facebook drawn on a regular not just take a minute and go to go fund meets go fund me.com/Esther to Brown studio ASCII DR Brown studio just go there if you're watching. There is the address for you and join us. Your contribution ready size helps us do a lot of redoing out we couldn't do before. With your help, were doing all right. Let's go through a bunch of these questions const onto hi Dr. Brown, could you please talk to me about the fussy dudes of Yeshua in relation to Jewish mysticism today in modern Israel. If we think of custody due to this special mystical piety. If we think that a relationship dish issue. We think of the intimacy he enjoyed with his father and him calling him all but having come from the father going back to the father had a unique relationship with his father that he then brings us into.

On some level as his followers. I see that intimacy. I see that face-to-face revelation of God. I see that insight into spiritual mysteries as being part of the quote custody due to be sure, but Jewish tradition as we know it through the centuries of mysticism has developed and developed and developed and developed, and I would dare say as a nonexpert on Jewish mysticism.

I would dare say that the fussy dudes. The mystical intimacy.

The issue enjoyed with his father was very different very different dramatically different from what is taught in Jewish mysticism today.

Michael we make of this verse for the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, but to the receiving of them be, but life from the dead. Romans 11 all yes super important. I see two things. Number one that is more and more Jewish people come to faith in the Messiah is going to have a life-giving effect on the body as many Christian leaders in the past have have taught Robert Murray McShane in the 1800s expressed it beautifully in Scotland explaining how Jewish people scatter all around the world with the particular gifts and abilities they had in and access to the world that is they come to embrace Jesus the Messiah, though, have a life-giving effect on the whole world. Not only so, there is the literal reality, namely that a Jewish Jerusalem will welcome the Messiah back and that he will not come back until the Jewish Jerusalem welcome to Matthew 2339, at which point the resurrection of the dead will happen in the resurrection of the righteous and literally Israel coming back to the Messiah will bring life from the dead tomorrow. As far as I'm concerned, the rabbi shifted once Jewishness from the father to the mother in order to preserve Judaism that's that's possible. I gave an answer is to some of the scriptural justification, but there are various reasons the rabbis were strategic in much of what they did to preserve the people of Israel. Kimberly have the Jews make atonement without a temple to make sacrifices, will they believe that sacrifices rose important that repentance was more important. So until there's a temple standing again they repent of sin they seek to do what's right. They asked God for mercy.

They seek to to give charitably and help others. And as they pass through certain suffering in this world they could say will that's payment for my sins. Of course I don't agree with all of that but that's a traditional Jewish answer and what they do in order to try to keep the law. Well, they've developed an extensive body of traditions that would fill will they do fill hundreds of thousands of volumes and that through the traditions they believe they can rightly please God and keep the commandments that through the traditions they would say okay, how do we keep the Sabbath we know by tradition, how do we pray daily. We know by tradition and I would differ with many of traditions as beautiful as they may be, but that's how traditional to do that to find out more get my book 60 questions Christians ask about Jewish beliefs and practices. 60 questions Christians ask about Jewish beliefs and practices and can the Nazirite drink wine. No notes or not they were separated from drinking wine. Do the Jews anoint the dead, not in a two minute will, to my knowledge I've not deeply studied burial customs. I don't believe there's a special anointing procedure. There's a burial in a in a simple shrouded in simple wood casket for traditional due but is there a special anointing of the dead, not to my knowledge, like I could be wrong. There is not something I've studied extensively. Just nothing that I'm aware of Jagdish. This is slightly off point, but it's a worthy question. Why are millions of innocent human beings dying in serious there is a God, why will he do anything well. First, if God was doing nothing, we'd all be dead if God was doing nothing. If he was that intervening if he was not stopping some human sin.

We would've all destroyed ourselves a long time ago. That's number one.

That's reality.

Number two. Do you want God to take away our free will. You want God to stop human beings for making choices. You want God to take away your free will was Las Vegas history. Well we can do evil and we do a lot of evil humans are killing humans why because they're not turning to God for help and for the most part Muslims killing Muslims and then in some degree, Muslims, Christians, and then outsiders killing some of the Muslims because of their violent acts try to stop them like groups like ISIS.

This is people killing people. This is the consequence savvy of us having free will and free choice. James did Old Testament Jews look forward to the coming of the Messiah with faith experience.

Similarly, what we experience as we look back on Jesus and believe and accept him as Savior. All Old Testament Jews had varied ideas of the Messiah of but as the children of Israel went to exile as the temple was destroyed, as they had no earthly king.

They began to look more and more towards the coming of the Messiah, but I can tell you this, I can tell you what traditional Jews have done for centuries. They pray daily. They say I believe in the coming of the Messiah every day with perfect faith. And even though we tarry, I'm still waiting for them every day believing that he could be on the earth today, believing that he could be among us, and that he'll be revealed. Some believe that in every generation there so there's a potential Messiah. And with this potential Messiah know it's that if the Jewish people rise to a certain level of righteousness and worthiness that he'll be revealed as the Messiah. Some Jews believe that, but as as Christians wait the second coming. With eagerness and at an anticipation and hope that he could be coming sooner that any day could be coming. That's how traditional Jews view the coming of the Messiah and rabid secular Jew doesn't think about it doesn't, maybe even believe in it. Okay, let's see here just looking for Jewish related questions. Jessica, how is blood important to the Jews was in significance and why. Why is it that blood cover sin and not water blood, remove sin and not water because the life is in the blood because the shedding of the blood signifies the giving of life that the loss of blood is loss of life. Therefore Leviticus 1711. God has given blood on the altar to make atonement because the life is in the blood so the blood is shed it shows the violence of the of what's happening it it shows in a physical way. The loss of life.

You can use brass to a tall breath is not a tangible to take this breath.

You can't take it with you. Take blood so blood symbolizes life and its life for life. But atonement means the atoning life that takes the place the innocent taken place of the guilty that's being said traditional Judaism does not put the same importance on blood that the New Testament does in the Christians doing messianic Jews do because Jews do not believe this atonement only through the blood. We say there is atonement only through the blood of Theodore why the Jews expect the Messiah though they don't have David's genealogy at their hand.

Some would claim that they can trace their genealogies all the way back to biblical times, someone still make that claim that we don't have official recognized genealogical records, but some do make that claim.

I saw a video of an ultra Orthodox Jew in Israel and he said yeah my house in Australia for my father and his father's following God goalie back taper and Australia.

Some believe they can actually do that others would say what we can prove is from the line of David that if he does everything else is the Messiah supposed to do, then we'll know he was from the line of David a Mary how I answer subtle anti-I anti-Jewish ideas that the current user not to do spoken of in the Bible tell the truth atonement. For example, the descendents of Aaron can trace themselves back through DNA. You tell them that history can trace the Jewish people today back century century century century back to biblical times. Oh yes, there's been intermarriage through the centuries. That's what we look different. This much intermarriage we can show historically, we can trace the literature. We can even use to some extent DNA and say yeah we may not all the original physical descendents, but both trace back is right, or questions that I can on the inside of the ring stay right away. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome welcome to our final segment on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday for those watching on Facebook live one day in advance. Welcome to the Brock's hate.

I think it's because of Nancy's contribution and also because it deals with such real-life issues how we overcame food addictions and discover new way of living. We have a special resource package with three CDs right coach it right standby answer. Here's what you do. Here's a good start here. The steps to take and then it a full interview were Sid Roth interviews Nancy and me about these things so we put the whole thing together in a really neat package over the website asked her to Brown.org a.s. K. D. R.

Brown.org Miguel wants to know my position on the 2300 mornings and evening prophecy in Daniel eight. Not sure what that means. Not sure of never giving myself to super extensive study on it but I for sure don't know and I can disagree with other interpretations here make a whole big deal about it because I'm not dogmatic about it because I simply don't know what it refers to write Monarch Dr. Breck you please put into context the meaning of Deuteronomy 31 through five. The gathering again of the nation of Israel either.

This is a promise still to come to pass, when God grants national repentance to the Jewish people and they turned back to God and his tour which will include embracing Jesus the Messiah. The turn back to God from around the world and are supernaturally regathered. Either that or this is a promise under the Sinai covenant and our people right to the end will still fail to do this which Casey pours out mercy on us and opens our eyes to see the Messiah under the new and better covenant of let's see here. Okay which way to go Laura, thank you for praying number 624 26 over me in over my family.

Thank you so much for doing that.

How about this question from all where is it's the one I wanted to get you. Thank you for posting so many great questions. Where is it okay I'm not sure who asked it. But do Jews need Jesus in order to be saved.

After all, their God's chosen people. Yes, Jews need Jesus issue to be saved like everybody else.

Remember to send like everybody else. Jews disobey God, like everybody else. Jews need mercy like everybody else. And Paul writes in Romans true that Jews who obey will be rewarded first. Jews don't obey will be punished. First, too much is given much is required. Paul writes in Romans 116 that the gospel is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.

First for the Juneau and then for the Gentile and Jesus came as the promised Messiah and all of his followers were Jews and they went and told first their own Jewish people about him and and then when the message was rejected by Jewish people went to everyone else.

So the idea that if you just skip all that and say Jews don't need Jesus would be completely contradicted why Cape why did he come for his people if they didn't need him. Why did he say he was dying for his people if they didn't need him. Why did he say he was the ransom for Jewish souls. If if we need him what he say in Matthew 10 when he was in his earthly ministry of come only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel again. That was first and foremost, earthly ministry, and then for the whole world.

Why you say but what if a Jew obeys the Torah and follows God earnestly well can you obey the Torah and reject the Messiah. Can you obey the Torah not have regular earthly blood atonement and and and yet be forgiven by God, can you reject Jesus issue the profit of Deuteronomy 18 not every June stands and falls before God. I'm not anyone's judge if that rabbi is good enough to get into God's eternal presence without the Messiah's atonement. So be it. If God sees that that Jew is clean and often righteous enough and sinless enough to get in or that simply by repenting they can get it if God says 05 but to me that's contrary to everything that I find in Scripture which is why we tell our Jewish people about Jesus the Messiah. All right, let's see here Philip my Miss imagery Francis Torres forever according to its own description. He also cites Isaiah 66 and similar passages. Is this a strong argument for the tonality of the Torah, it could well be that in the millennial kingdom on the earth it could well be that Sabbath is universal for all the habitants of the world that the biblical calendar is universal for all inhabitants of the world that the dietary laws are universal for all the inhabitants of the world in the millennial kingdom on the earth it could well be, but right now in this world.

What we know is Torah finds its fulfillment in Jesus and Paul makes clear that the purpose of Torah is to bring us to the Messiah that Paul describes Torah and in Galatians the third chapters as a pedagogue this this in Greek would refer to a household servant or slave.

That would be responsible for watching over the kids he taken them to to and from school, work, or triggering them in their studies with Everett to get them to a certain point right and not just a teacher but by the pedagogue a model of that sort, and then from there, what would happen is what happened is that they they would then grow out of that. And as as they came into maturity and pauses the tour is a pedagogue to bring us to the Messiah but now with them so we don't need that pedagogue so the tour is now written on our heart and we know that much of what was written cannot be kept today as I mentioned earlier in the broadcast because of the destruction of the Temple and other things. So so just a reminder that the best thing to do is live out Torah in the light of the New Testament because we don't follow the traditions of the Talmud rabbinic writings right here to just start reading in the Mishnah you get online. I'm sure find it Mishnah chapter 1 Sabbath right to start is just the beginning of the beginning of beginning of the beginning start their and on the condemn outputting data criticizing. I'm just saying be serious about you live this out and in the Talmudic explanations in the future. The further barcode explanations and on and on and on. All right you do that or you choose this come to me and find rest and gives simple principles by which we live. So what we understand as the Torah exposed Israel's sin showed us our need for a Savior showed us the foundations of God's holiness, atonement, substitutionary sacrifice to point the way to the Messiah now brings us into a new and better covenant doesn't mean that you should discard the laws what it means is that you should now understand how to live this out. Light is a new and better covenant. In light of the holy spirit hey friends, just want to encourage you that we have many many resources waiting for you on the website go to asked Dr. Brown.org ASKDR Brown.org you go there you'll find thousands of articles.
