Sukkot (Tabernacles) and Jewish Love for the Torah

It's the end of Sukkoth and the traditional Jewish calendar that means Sam Cocteau raw. The joy of the Torah, what traditional Jews love the terrace so much stock 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 resident of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by going 866-34-TRUTH that's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Thanks so much for joining us to day on the line of fire on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday 866-34-TRUTH 88663 freight 7664. That is the number to call any Jewish related Hebrew related Israel related messianic prophecy related questions you might have do my best to get to as many of your questions as possible.

8664 truth and a lot to talk about in the Jewish world and let me let me throw this concept out to you and if it was something that surprised me the first time I met with ultra-Orthodox rabbis in August 1973 saw was saved at that point in the Lord a little under two years I had read through the Bible probably just about five times cover to cover that point I had memorized probably over 4000 verses in the previous 6 to 8 months. So I was immersed in the word I was having regular dialogue with other rabbis local rabbi kept introduced me to others.

We would talk and have dialogue that was all happening, but I didn't really get it until I sat down with these ultra-Orthodox rabbis in Brooklyn, New York, and in endpoint of fact point of fact, they were so excited about the tour. They were so excited about the law. To them this was a gift from God that wanted that surprised me. Romero was not raised in a religious Jewish home.

Otherwise this would be what I was raised with from the mother's womb right. That would've been the environment which I lived and breathed 24 seven so that was not the case and the other rabbis I dialogue with had not been as religious themselves but but we we were debating other issues in prophecy and stuff like this is now spending hours and hours and hours. These religious Jews and the environment in which I was being raised spiritually. Now, as a believer in Jesus. The church environment was one that really thank God that we were not under the while under the law. You had all these commandments and all these burdens and you know the more boring parts of the Old Testament. The ad had to do this added unity.

Send yet it bring in animal sacrifice.

Think of when I don't do that anymore and certainly in terms of Sinai covenant and in terms of if you do this you are blessed if you don't do this, you cursed what we would all be cursed.

Ultimately, as lawbreakers as those who fall short, if not through outward actions through inward desires and thoughts, which are included in the 10 Commandments and the commitment not to covet as an inward thing right so we all are falling short and we see what happened to the Jewish people through history we see how we been scattered. We see that we been judged.

If we just look at the definitive record within the Hebrew Scriptures within the Old Testament we see that life under the Sinai covenant for the Jewish people for my people is not good.

We suffered immensely.

We have been more cursed in that respect, and blessed arms and just look within the parameters was written in the Hebrew Scriptures because there we have God's definitive word to us there. He's giving us the interpretation, the explanation of what's happened and what's happening so I understand that that we come under judgment, but it was so eye-opening and then I began to think you look at the Psalms Excel 19 and someone, 19 look at other statements.

It that Paul made that the laws holy and spiritual and good that that the law itself. God's teachings God's commandments themselves are wonderful and beautiful and and and speak of aspects of his character and were gifts from God, not curses.

The problem is our sin cursed us because we could not keep the requirements of a covenant written on stone was not written on our hearts this time of the year. Something special happens in the Jewish community called subcultural to exactly what that is that your Jewish really calls 866-34-TRUTH error on the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you Jewish Thursday night and I actually do have the wrong number earlier, having only given out 9,011,061 1/2 time so or okay give it the wrong number 8663 freight 7884 what I said earlier, but that's the right number 866-34-TRUTH you got a Jewish related question, then, will do our best to give you solid answers. From Jewish tradition history from the Hebrew Scriptures. The Hebrew language and I'm very happy to dispel myths here are very happy to smash faucets here. I don't like the fact that it may hurt people's feelings. But truth is truth. Better to tell someone that pill you're taking is placebo. It's nothing is nothing in it is just a psychological tool. Someone was playing a game with you is nothing to is that helping you at all. Take this pill.

This will heal you yet it hurts their feelings to know they been duped and see but to help them with the truth. Truth always helps right so the festival of tabernacle Sukkoth is coming to a conclusion now Jewish people religious Jews around the world building circus in remembrance of wandering in the wilderness. The four years before we came into Egypt and the book that is read during this time is Ecclesiastes reminding us of the frailty of life and the transitory nature of life. So dwelling in a booth as opposed to a house you remember that that it's also a time of great rejoicing is a festival of rejoicing. It's a harvest festival and it's one that even in the sacrifices that were ordained by God in Cheraw ends up with one particular animal. 70 of them being offered up with symbolically rabbinic Judaism took to understandably rightly so speaks of the 70 nations.

Symbolically, the nations of the world and Israel would pray for rain and pray for the nations of the world. During this time and it speaks of a harvest. It is a harvest time of the year and therefore speaks of the end time harvest of the nations and Zechariah 14 tells us that after the Messiah is coming, that the survivors of the nations that attacked Jerusalem will all come up to Jerusalem to do what to celebrate Sukkoth, the feast of Tabernacles and rabbinic tradition believes that the exact dimensions of the sukkah were laid out by God at Mount Sinai. According to everything I know, that's a myth that's not true, but that's what he believes to be made exactly this way. In this particular matter to be acceptable. That's a separate issue there.

Many of the traditions that rabbinic Judaism enhances things with that can be very beautiful to me. Another not found directly in the Bible. Many think, very beautiful and some can enhance celebration and some in my view can take away from what the day is supposed to signify spiritually but at this time of the year when you come to the end of reading through the five books of Moses is just part of what started rabbinic to study massive amount of literature on a daily basis related to Scripture, but much which is related to Jewish law and tradition so you come to the conclusion of reading through the Torah and you in some traditions you stay up all night and you study the Torah together and you celebrate and some will even get drunk during this time as well, certain circles, but that's side and again it reminds us it's called subcultural awesome costar is no pronunciation.

It reminds us by how traditional Jews rightly love and embrace the Cheraw and the beauty of the tour and the wonder thorough I would say they miss some of the key message of trying terms of its exposing our sin and pointing to our need for the Messiah right within the five books of Moses, but they have this right appreciation right love for the Cheraw before I go to the phones. Let me reach you from Exodus chapter 19 the first day of the third month. If the Israelites left Egypt that very day they came to the desert of Sinai. After they set out from refuting the into the desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desk in front of the mountain.

Then Moses went up to God and the Lord called to him from the mountain said this is what you are to say to the descendents of Jacob and what you were to tell the people of Israel.

You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I carried you on Eagles wings and brought you to myself. Now, if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, that out of all nations you will be my treasured possession of the whole earth is mine. You will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words speak to the Israelites so Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people sit before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak.

The people responded. Together we will do everything the Lord has said so Moses brought their answer back to the Lord. Now I've I've had friendly dialogue with pastor Joseph Prince about this he believes Israel's response and we both have this in writing that Israel's response was wrong, that by saying we can do this in a put themselves under the law. I say obviously, the response was exactly what God intended. He said I'm calling you to do this when you do it in their responses. Yes, we will. But God also knew that it would expose their inability to keep the law and therefore would point them to their need for a Savior pastor Prince and I would agree on that point. In terms of the purpose of the law and putting out our need for Savior that we cannot be declared righteous in God's sight by our works alone because we all fall short, but I read this to say God's intent was to have a priestly people. God's intent was for the whole nation to follow him as a priestly people, and through that through that he would then be glorified to the entire world. Obviously we fell short but was all part of God's plan to bring us to the Messiah, 866-34-TRUTH. Let's go to Huntsville, Alabama Carl, welcome to the line of fire of Dr. Brown; I Mark Gordon very centered around video `by you know I'm in an Old Testament. I know it started out arming I would like to know how to do it on to where they were sacrificing their children yeah to the God because I'm involved will fall juvenile crime and help people understand the relation that the Berean abortion and you know when it come from a very current event cannot find it will are good, but angry when you know you deal with the issue of abortion the day and not black lives matter when you bring up the subject of you know, again abortion as a relates to black lives matter.

You know one thing.

I looked at it harder was when not all, of the kind you label how he was more concerned with his life than you yet yet which could happen to me now you excellent point Carl and in for those who may not know what Carl meant when he said that abortion black lives matter that the greatest attack on black America today and apply for the sisters of black society as a whole, African American side of the whole is abortion, and in terms of physical attack on lies in terms of taking of lives. I look at it is a satanic attack to destroy people that the goblins to raise up and bless the nuisance delivers in our society. Just as there is an attack on the baby boys before Moses was born, the baby boys. When Jesus was born the same way here.

There's an attack I see a black Americans who make up the highest percentage of abortions even though the week, maybe 13% of the population, something is terribly, terribly wrong with the statistics and I'm not faulting African American community unfold in the devil and his attacks in the society that's complicit with. So amen Carl, to what you're saying and doing. We know that when God tested Abraham, telling him to sacrifice Isaac was just a test.

Genesis 22 God made very clear he did not want Abraham to sacrifice his son there when the law was given at Mount Sinai after the firstborn in Egypt were killed in judgment.

God said I want the firstborn Israelites, and I want the firstborn animal. So if if there is how the first calf that's that's born would be sacrifice would be offered up to sacrifice the firstborn male child. Israelites had no replace that with animal sky was a clear idea I do not want that in and spoke emphatically numerous times against those that pass their children to the fire that burns your children alive and in the worship of these different deities more or less can refer to it toll affected Jeremiah the seventh chapter of Jeremiah the 19th chapter lays out that's a key reason why God brought judgment on Jerusalem and Judah. It was a practice in the ancient world.

It's a practice still in different parts.

The roller has been in history.

Somehow it was designed to placate the deity. It was designed to show devotion to the deity.

It was literally sacrificing that which is most precious to you. The ancient accounts are horrific that that you have this massive beast of a furnace look like a garden but the baby on the burning metal as a baby would scream everyone be chanting and clapping just horrific beyond words.

It's how inhuman can we leave a call. That's what we did need to do is to show what the aborted babies look like and say that's doing today. God help us.

Thanks for calling the line of fire. Hello Dr. Brown hello Sir I my question. About the word for word. All him and this year or 1 m valid and I know I have no idea if I look to you pronounce it correctly and will not yes or and I know I about birth are going to write about closer to the word integrity brought loyalty not not not integrity, not integrity. It does relate to to trust its its fundamental root meaning has to do with with steadiness and then with that to lean on in a trusting way. Hence, faith. For example, the verb occurs in Exodus 17 about Moses when Erin and Cora held his hands up so we could hold up the rod as Joshua fought against Amalek and his hands were steady. It's the same with the same route I should say issues there.

In Exodus 17 and then for example in Isaiah 7 there is a play on words where the prophet tells the goddess King because that if he doesn't believe he won't be established in low Tom meaning key low tail main uses that route into different verbal forms that route Amman gives you here in low Tom Amin new key low tail main new or could also be if you don't believe shows because you're not established here.

You have established faith. Leaning steady. These things are related does relate directly to the Greek word for faith pestis and the noun pistachio but it it it is not just an abstract mental state as much as a healthy confidence in God. A leaning on God as opposed to just an abstract mental concept care. I would thinking about that, but her teaching about where, when, went to the Greek world or the gospel in the Greek world.

The world of philosophy and that knowledge and reason and that would spin. Mostly about theology, about a lot, be and agree with the truth and instead of the loyalty and devotion in a trusting cry, and then and then giving our to each other to ignore God's will is building a and trust and loyalty in the community of faith and you know honestly my own history churches Street. I served on worship being served in many different capacity, but at the end of it never ended up with any loyal product being committed relationship and if you yeah and let me just jump in and say three separate things. Your experience and I hate to hear that it's very sad to me and I have coworkers now that I've been with for over 30 years 35 years going on that, dear friends, they go back over 40 years and have seen wonderful love, loyal trust our friends.

It would take a bullet for me and and I'd like them.

I like for them so I am sorry to hear you've had that experience but certainly it's in the payments and Lord give me those relationships that help me to be one that's capable of having them as well.

It's in it's always good for us to look at that. Secondly, yeah, I agree that the concepts have changed based on the Hebrew Semitic mentality or Greco-Roman mentality or Eastern or Western here with this. The various things over the centuries Americans are much more individualistic the ancient biblical mentality was which much more community oriented itself. So those are differences themselves. It's not so much the interpretation of the word faith is much as those communities but have a go to for the just shall live by his faith could also be rendered is faithfulness of his faith and faithfulness go hand in hand. I think that's the point you're trying to make and I would affirm that the biblical concept of faith is not separated from faithfulness in that sense, loyalty to God and to say thanks for the call. Great question. I appreciate it will be back with much more. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown is 30 Jewish Thursday and Tabernacles religious Jewish community is a community of study there is the joke that when the pastor has a dilemma. He prays when the rabbi has a dilemma. He studies again stereotypical and with exaggeration but with much truth in it as well. The traditional Jewish community is a community that immerses itself in study and that along with its daily study of rabbinic traditions by the hour is always reading through the five books of Moses and then celebrates the culmination of that reading cycle. At this time of the year and for many Christians saw Mike some 19 seems foreign because we so often think of the long terms of the law brings wrath and were not under the law, the condemnation of the law, forgetting that what that really means is the Sinai covenant God's laws or or or or loss of life God's ways are ways of life. He says in Deuteronomy 30 choose life. Keep these commandments that you may live, is that the first commandment with a promise doesn't Paul tell us that in Ephesians 6 that honor your father and mother may go well with you, that you may live long. The landlords giving you is not the first met with a promise. So the Commandments are good. The laws themselves are good. They reflect standards of God and some of them were given to Israel to teach them specific things so as to carry out a certain function limits. No words were not burning which is today when not stoning adulterers. But God gave certain laws with certain intensity to open the eyes of Israel, the ugliness of sin and and then gave us a new and better way through the cross. But here's his insistence on 19 look at this beginning verse seven and this is after declaring that the law of lawyers after declaring how God reveals himself in nature, some 19 beginning verse seven the law the teaching. The Torah raw of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul, the statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant to be like, to the eyes, the fear the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm and all of them are righteous, they are more precious than gold, and much pure gold.

They are sweeter than honey comb than honey from the comb by them your servant is warned in keeping them there is great reward.

Psalm 19.

I encourage you to read through Psalm 19 and read through Psalm 119 and Escott get to give your fresh love and appreciation for his terrace and then understand it in the context of the larger purposes of God for his people. 866-348-7884 in the moment in a moment I want to go to the phones want to update you. Also on important development with Israel and the UN. I wrote an article before radio.

They about Harvey wants to feel like it's a very, very important article. It is called Harvey Weinstein and one son and Hollywood's hypocrisy and in it I make the statement that Hollywood is selling sex and abusing people in the process question.

Are we buying we being entertained by it's an eye-opening article I wrote feeling real burden to get it out. You can read it by going to ask Dr. Brown ASKDR Brown.org also a video that's getting a lot of response of some of it quite negative where and some of it quite positive where I take on Trevor Noah on the daily show companies Comedy Central and his take on the NFL protests and I do with as a friend of African-American brothers and sisters as a friend of the larger black community in Khmer America and is an advocate for social justice. Yet for some, the fact that I dare take issue with what he saying makes me into a racist and a Christian enablement. We have actually been call that for taking issue with his comments and saying out there are better ways to do that.

I've actually studied civil rights movement and study the protest movements and look carefully how things were done strategically so as to not push certain buttons with the society as a whole. These are valuable lessons when I try to say let's learn these today I get last it is a racist little world will be back 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 and don't even welcome welcome to on the line of fire.

This is Michael Brown.

I am absolutely delighted to be with you today. 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH 7884 is number to call. Taking Jewish related questions in a moment I want to give you an update.

Israel joins the US in quitting UNESCO, the UN heritage agency over anti-Israel bias that's major news. Also one explained to why I've accepted the invitation to speak at the controversial Christ at the checkpoint conference in Bethlehem doubling in 2018 May 2018 of written article about that.

That's on our website as well.

But let's go to the phones will start in Silva, North Carolina Mike, welcome to the line of fire. Yet my cover question out of Deuteronomy chapter 32 the Fong mode sure thing, how Peter and how Peter development that the apology named A that the Israel and will come and it will be near when I picked her birthing cricket generation Peter in acts 240 and first Peter or their generation is that generation and at the end is near.

How to understand that all you will receive number one the prophecy having multiple levels throughout Scripture. For example, we see the prophecies of the return from exile from Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Isaiah that were emphatically given only having partial fulfillment in other words, we see that the glorious things were supposed to have with the return for the Babylonian exile did not happen, which indicates that they are still yet to come. And so we see perverts evil generation. We see for example Isaiah 1 that's how God characterizes his people other words, these things will come up repeatedly in their judgments. In each case, but not the final judgment, but we see this with with many many aspects of prophecy in the same way most Jews, the vast majority this day did not see two phases of the Messiah's work. They just saw him coming once that he would come once and do one thing, then come later into the rest.

They didn't see so these these passages are applied like that throughout Scripture rights is important is keep reading because we Peter makes playing is and ask the third chapter that the Messiah will not return from heaven until a Jewish people repent and welcome him back and that that will be the time of the restoration of all things spoken of by all the prophets, where will have the universal knowledge of God on the earth and the knowledge of the glory knowledge of the glory of the of the Lord filling the earth as the waters cover the seas and the word of the Lord, going forth from Jerusalem, so he's very emphatic that the promises to Israel will one day be fulfilled but that now. If they don't repent will be a season of severe judgment otherwise in and in A.D. 70, and that generation, and I want Peter to the end of all things of that ham you're saying that it if the end of, the thing I know I'm saying that that he's not talking about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 and first Peter four by any stretch of them. The message the end of we are here we're here having a conversation the end of your set you're telling me that 8070 was the end of some things. That's a statement you're making because were still here in the Jewish people are still here. The modern state of Israel is here. There are billions of people haven't heard the name of Jesus there still here still division controversy in the church, the Star Wars, there still people living and dying about so the world is continuing the end of all things has not happen and anyone that takes the words to me with a mean fully understands it, but look. Jeremiah prophesied things would happen in his day with Jacob's trouble. And there was an and there but it was not the final and there have been many days of the Lord through Jewish history and biblical history, and there will be a final day of the Lord. But first Peter four CERT without question is not referred to the destruction of Jerusalem in the year seven because the end of all things that happen that's self-evident. That's why we were here because the end of all things that you happen to want to be saved from her birthing cricket generation. According Deuteronomy 32 is that is contemporary generation, but there've been many such contemporary generation's Deuteronomy 32 is not a date. Setting chronology is a song to be sung to the history of Israel an indictment against against you a sense of this app has application hundreds of times are ready and I'll have application of final application that at the end of the age so there have been many Purvis generations Peter does not say that this is the last generation. I take his words very seriously.

The New Testament does not say that this is the last generation so I mean it's it's unambiguous there. There's no questioning of that. And God continues to preserve the Jewish people is preserved us and and he's given emphatic promises. Jeremiah 31 versus 35 to 37 others emphatic that as long as heaven and earth endure that the the physical nation of Israel will endure despite sent so those are unbreakable promises of those continue. Nobody said Israel won't be able to earn her and and one that generation come in due time, it will be near seems to be the end of all covenant Israel that the Fong mode are inherent but no less.

Generation of the relevant platelets to stay here. You deny the plane since the first Peter four.

I don't. I tell it as its work excellently so everything at everything and everything and at the end of all things happened why we hear that is the end of all things happened in 70 A.D., what were you when I hear it wireless. I was fine.

Why there 7 billion+ people on the earth today. If the end of all things ready happen because the end of all things that you talking about are the end of the elements of the old covenant world and all arts within the some things that he does not mention anywhere in the context III note was written of the whole section by heart. He makes no reference whatsoever.

In that context to Old Testament elements zero so I take these words literally. You don't that's that's a problem with the computer is a reminder what you wrote in your hand on how you cannot hat down you want to go first for verse through first Peter and there is not a single verse in first Peter that substantiates that the end of all things refers to certain Old Testament elements. I take all things. Me all things I taken literally, you taken to mean some Old Testament elements that Peter flatly denies in his own preaching.

The book of acts because he says emphatically that when the Jewish people repent, then the Messiah will return. He must remain in heaven until that time, what time the time of the restoration of all things, when everything the prophets spoke of comes to pass with the Messiah range from Jerusalem it in and out with an iron rod and when the earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord is the words cover the seas that has not happened and anyone that is willing to face truth knows that has not happened. We still have death and sickness and pain and suffering around the world. So it's self-evident. It appears emphatic on that we don't have to try to interpret a poem that he quotes in the midst of a message and and and and try to, or dissing." He just makes your is." He doesn't quote Scripture is just using a phrase is many times Israel's been a Purvis generation throughout 90 days of the prophets, but Michael is in harmony with Peter when he and will be for building to generate a map on or the end of what the old covenant age know he doesn't say they'll come in and out in the world. He doesn't say the old covenant age. The disciples asked him his regular because he's left talking about either of them. They asked him when will be the that that the destruction of the Temple and the end of the world and you're coming sinking that the three are all the same and he answers all three because there not the same as the end of the world, Mike has the end of the world come out.

He doesn't fit into the world, not Mike. Mike Mike has the II understand who you are. As the discussions gone were having a debate November so I gotta be fair to other callers. All right, but this will go up to the debate will go nowhere if you don't accept identify with it. Big big because it's it's us it's a simple issue, but we can debate it in in the November 15 W and will announce it is as we get closer, but to me the words just as his plane is as could be honest, Jesus may explain in Matthew 19 that the disciples will sit on 12 thrones, in the regeneration of all things, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.

Okay there will be physical 12 tribes of Israel will be regeneration of all things, and his disciples will be ruling and reigning with him over regenerated Israel and that has not yet come that that we know emphatically but tonight I will challenge one quick thing, go ahead. One quick thing in them than on I got ago you still take this generation of Matthew 24 is the rate of user that I know I never I never did an underwriter at one of our one of Rabbi long though. I said that some give that interpretation.

I personally don't.

I it's clear Alok IIX clear and I believe my assistant, even as far as I know when you sent me that question privately.

Mike and get a debate November 15. I believe Calvary Chapel on your Charlotte, North Carolina, basically asking to Jesus, and in the year 70 A.D. so will get into that, but I'm sure is essential. Chapter is a section in volume 4 of answers your suggestions. Jesus right give it as an option.

But no, I don't personally that's how the word should be translated all right. Enjoy the conversation at her plan 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 thanks for joining us on this thoroughly is Thursday broadcast. This is not what I debate Mike the caller all day long and in others all day long for an opportunity but I want to be forget to other callers soaks of Chris hang in your your next Salt Lake City of Seth is asked online. I can't get into this in depth that is the church supposed to provoke Israel to jealousy by keeping the commandments of the Torah. No, you're not going to be more Jewish than the Jewish community that you are not going to be more zealous for the commandments of the Torah and come up with better traditions than them the way to provoke them to jealousy is by so shining the light of the Messiah is by so showing that the Torah is pointing to him. That's ultimate is fulfilled in him all right by demonstrating love for your neighbor and love for God and walking in the fullness of life of the spirit and reality. Forgiveness of sins. That's how you provoke them to jealousy by having a true prayerful love for Israel. All right if you want more on this and encourage you to check out my book 60 questions Christians Eskimo Jewish beliefs and practices. 60 questions Christians Eskimo Jewish policing practices. If you listen to the show.

Over the years you've heard me speak against war against the Christ at the checkpoint conference in Bethlehem in Israel. I have said that it is not just only anti-Zionist.

But sometimes even anti-Semitic.

I've taken issue with presentations of some of the speakers there. I have warned that it does more harm than good. That turns hearts against Israel and the Jewish people that some of the theology is dangerous. I stand on every single one of those words and I've been warned by friends of mine and the messengers community that if I accepted an invitation to go to Christ at the checkpoint that, in point of fact, it would be used to publicize the event you drawn more unsuspecting people who think off Mike Brown's going it must be good and that they will then get infiltrated with or impacted with infected with an anti-Israel animus. I'm quite aware of the concerns but I wrote a whole article on this why I am speaking of the Christ at the checkpoint conference. You can read it by going to my website. Asked Dr. Brown's K DR Brown.org why I agreed to speak at the 2018 Christ at the checkpoint conference, ensure I was invited because of our disagreements, I've been given carte blanche to speak on everything including radical Islam.

I have been assured that there will be no restrictions put on why say and if while there, I find presentations to be what I would consider anti-Semitic or have dangerous theology do my best to shout about the world to hear. By God's grace. I have a great platform through radio and TV and Internet to written and spoken word to reach literally millions of people sometimes multiplied millions on weekly basis.

So if the conference proves to be everything that I've feared it has been and would be and is not really a form to hear one another out, then I'll shout that out for the world to hear if the invitation to be was duplicitous. Then I'll make that known. But I am going believing that the invitation was sincere. I am going believing that the people asked me to be there asked me to disagree and to challenge them, and they want to challenge me.

I am all for all four, but please read the article asked Dr. Brown.org right so UNESCO the United States is now formally notified the UN's world heritage body. This is reported on the Guardian today that it is with the world heritage by UNESCO that it is withdrawing its membership of the organization citing continuing anti-Israel bias. It's about time for all those that bless the Trump administration all the time. This is this is a positive.

This is something very good and right. Let there be a wake-up call to the UN and its organizations that their anti-Israel and even outright anti-Semitic biases will not be tolerated. Yes, keep up the good work. I'm glad this is being done does mean everything Israel does is right. There's massive ugly anti-Israel bias in the United Nations and its various organizations. In fact, at the last two years at UN women's conference body of literature that was produced out of that meeting and one 111 count them only one nation on the planet was criticized for its treatment of women. Israel, yeah, yeah II don't need to say anything beyond that, right to the phone Salt Lake City well on christening to answer your question, I'm seeing out there anymore about food preparation on the Sabbath.

A traditional Jew will not prepare food in terms of cooking it something they won't put it on a plate or sit it on the table put on the table and obviously eating is not considered work, but food preparation is considered work so you prepare your food before Sabbath all right. And then you eat it over the Sabbath. You either eat it cold or you have various things that you keep running like a hot plate or something like that and some see this is the beauty of the Sabbath that you have this fence around the law so that you keep adding these traditions to make sure that that nothing of the law itself is violated. In other words, if the laws 70 miles an hour you drive over that unit in an accident will now it's make it. You can't drive over 50 Terry can travel over 40 distant to have that offensive protection and many traditional Jews see the details of the law as part of the beauty of the law. They find the details student to be details of holiness and beauty. Many others see them to be binding and legalistic, and food preparation is at work or not that can obviously do the baited Abbasid woman is working preparing for the home during the week and then the Sabbath she is resting for.

That's if he gets to respite. That's positive, but every stuff to take care your children to other things like that. Rights of certain, life still goes on. But what happens is you have these ways to get around some of the letter of the law. For example, traditional Jew will will not take an elevator on the Sabbath, because you have to operate the elevator that's considered work. So what you do well, you can get on the elevator and I hope that someone else may be gentle on the elevator will push the button that's going to your floor or get as close as you catch your form walk the rest of the racing of working more right or you could take the skull, the Sabbath, elevator, literally and that stops in a report and sometimes a bit of the 22nd for the hotel Israel and I got on our Rust Belt. I got on the side of the elevator. And every floor every for every fourth and and then you have these things were electric stuff can go on automatically in his stomach and happy that you turn the slant. This way and gets light, but it's not X defiling the Sabbath and they came up with this summons isn't. Isn't that just completely getting around other things, loopholes, and so there is discussion about these things, especially for those that are newer to the traditions those who grew up within them, find them to be beautiful others defined and binding some coming in later. Think what what in the world is this, I address some of these questions in volume 5 of answering Jewish objections to Jesus right deal there with Jewish condition our friends back with you tomorrow answering your questions. You've got questions. We got answers. Be sure to visit the website watch my interaction with Trevor.
