Kingdom Pursuits where you hear from ordinary people instilled with an extraordinary passion. Together we explore the stories of men and women who take what they love and let God turn their passion into Kingdom Pursuits. Now live from the Truth Booth, your host, Robbie Dilmore. How fun to have this particular show on Easter Eve today on Kingdom Pursuits.
Always so exciting to see who God lines up for us. And today we have an old friend with us. We have Wren with Lantern Rescue. And speaking of new life, Lantern Rescue has created that for so many folks caught in human trafficking over the last year.
I just got their newsletter and the numbers are kind of outstanding, right Wren? Yeah, yeah, we've grown. We're rescuing more people than ever. We're in more countries than ever. Yeah, it's just, it's incredible the stuff that's happened in the last year. Yeah, so for those folks who may not be familiar with Lantern Rescue, can you kind of give a brief overview of what Lantern Rescue is?
Absolutely. So Lantern Rescue is a nonprofit organization, and we were founded with the purpose of rescuing victims of human trafficking, both internationally and domestically. And we do that through working with local law enforcement and other countries here in the United States to train them to become basically counter human trafficking task forces. We work with judges, prosecutors, really everyone within the criminal justice system to help expand their knowledge of what's going on when talking about human trafficking and how to do the investigation and how to get the rescues, the arrests, and make sure that people are staying in prison for a substantial amount of time.
Yeah, it's absolutely beautiful. You know, I've been connected with you guys for years how God has really brought that into light in so many different ways. And for those, you know, when they say human trafficking, it's not always sex trafficking, right? There's slavery and horrible other things that are happening with voodoo and things like that.
Yeah, that's completely correct. So most people, yes, when most people think of human trafficking, they usually think of just sex trafficking. And that is not the only type of human trafficking. There's an estimated 28 million victims of human trafficking in the world today and that number includes victims of, of course, sex trafficking, but there's also labor trafficking, which to put that into kind of common terms is if you picture the United States back when we still had slavery here, so very similar to that labor trafficking, working for little or no pay, stuff like that. And then we also have, you know, child pornography, CSAM type images and videos that are created of children and are sold and the children exploited for those things to happen, as well as, like you mentioned, the virtual voodoo sacrifices that are going on primarily in Africa, where children are kidnapped, they're ritualistically sacrificed, organs are sacrificed, used in offerings and in altars. And then we also do see organ trafficking and organ harvesting all around the world.
And victims can be any age, race, gender, it's really a, you know, one size fits all type of crime, like anyone can be this, unfortunately, and it's literally everywhere in the world. Yeah, it's so, it's, it's, it's horrific, but it's so amazing how God hears those cries. And, you know, it's sort of a 9-1-1 when I think about it, so we also have with us today on Kingdom Pursuits, we have Grant Berry, he's the author of Romans 9-1-1, as it's time to sign the alarm on, on all sorts of things, right, Grant? Yes, absolutely, Robbie, it's good to be with you. Yes, yes, it sure is. Especially the day before Easter, how wonderful is that? It's a happy resurrection to everyone listening.
Yeah. And so, Romans 9-1-1 is a time to sound the alarm, from what I understand. Well, we are in a very significant place in history, as we draw to, I believe the Bible refers to it as the coming of the Lord. Israel is awakening, and the church is, the gospel has gone out to the far corners of the nation, almost being fulfilled, and is now returning back to Jerusalem, so there's a shift, Robbie, that needs to take place now. For the church to come back towards Israel, I mean, if we read and interpret Scripture this way, who is it that exactly God's children in the nations are going to represent as its priests from every tribe and tongue, if it's not an Israeli monarch, of which Yeshua Jesus is going to sit on the throne from Jerusalem, and we're going to join with him.
So there are two types of reconnections here. One is a personal focus for us, for the Lord to restore that love and unity in the family, really to complete Jesus' prayer, John 17, but then also to bring the church back towards Israel, to reunite the church with God's children from Israel, now believing in Yeshua. That we would be one that the world would know. Yeah, that's absolutely beautiful, and so, you know, for such a time as this, right? It is, as I hear, you know, Wren speaking to, there's a lot going on we need to be aware of, and a lot of things that we can help in both areas, and yes, we sit here, but we've got opportunities to sound the alarm all over the place, right, Wren? Even, you know, in our own schools, in our own places, just to be aware of what's going on.
Yeah, absolutely. Because of the kind of misconceptions around human trafficking, there is a lot of misinformation out there, and a lot of people believing that it doesn't happen here, it doesn't look like that. You know, they have a very specific idea in their head of what they think human trafficking looks like, and when you make such a static image of what human trafficking looks like, and you're not open to or not aware of it being able to look a different way, then you're so focused on, you know, for example, a little girl being kidnapped in a Target parking lot and taken away, when in reality, human trafficking is actually most commonly perpetrated by someone known to the victim.
So, if you're so focused on, and I hope this makes sense, if you're so focused on just, you know, keeping your kids next to you in Target, because that's where you think they're going to get trafficked, but you're not paying attention to what's happening at school on their cell phones and their friend groups, that's where they're really at a danger, you know. Kidnapping does, it does happen. Kidnapping into human trafficking, not really. Here in America, it's incredibly uncommon for someone to be kidnapped into human trafficking.
Here in the United States. So, not that it can't happen, but it is not the most common way for this to be happening. So, you know, when people are not paying attention to the realities and they're committed to one ideal, they're not going to be seeing what's really happening around them.
Right. And, you know, there again, there's all sorts of opportunities, and as we listen to the show today, I hope you're going to see ways that, as you begin to see the picture of how it's actually done nowadays, where we can actually do something, obviously through prayer, obviously through supporting Land and Rescue, which, by the way, both Land and Rescue and Grant Berry's book, et cetera, are all at KingdomPursuits.com, but, you know, there's things, as we sound the alarm, that we actually can take part in. And so, Grant, as people read this book, what are you hoping will be their response? Well, there's a real need for the family of God to come back together in love and unity. You know, as I'm listening to our sister on the line talk about the need to really reach out and help expose, you know, some of the terrible things that are going on in the world. You know, there's a need for the church to come back to restore love and unity, that the Father can once again cause his kingdom, his body, to arise on the earth. And the love of God flowing through us can draw the world to jealousy and move us into deeper places of prayer and move us into deeper places of ministry needs, such as our sister is sharing with us today.
Yeah, and it's so beautiful. You know, Wren knows, and you may be aware, Grant, that I work the National Religious Broadcasters Convention every year, and I interview all sorts of Israeli nationals, and their page is turning. They see the church completely differently than they did three or four years ago prior to this war, and so when we come back, we're going to talk about that with Grant, the author of Romans 9-1-1, and more with Land and Rescue. And Wren, we'll be right back.
You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Kingdom Pursuits, where we hear how God takes your passion and uses it to build the kingdom, and here we are on Easter Eve or Resurrection Sunday Eve, depending on who you prefer to say it, and very exciting. So we've got Grant Berry.
He's the author of Romans 9-1-1, a Messianic Jewish leader that really has given us some great information on, like, man, such a time as this to bring the church back to Israel. And then Wren, an old friend with Land and Rescue. You know, we've had this show on the network for years, the podcast, Land and Rescue, an amazing organization that God is using to rescue people out of human trafficking. But of course, those who regularly listen to my show know I've always got to do my shenanigans. And so, you know, just to add a little lighter air to what is some pretty heavy topics today, you guys are going to have to grin and bear it for a minute, Grant and Wren, as we go through playing a few shenanigans.
So speaking of Easter. Now the fun begins, cause now it's time to play Shenanigans. So I don't think either of you, Wren, you've never played shenanigans, have you?
No. I've never had you on Kingdom Pursuit, so anybody who's ever been on Kingdom Pursuit gets their short opportunity in this segment to play shenanigans, which is essentially putting up with Robbie's dad joke so that the listeners get a chance to call in and win a prize. So, first off, and you guys, Grant, feel free to jump in if you know the answer, or Wren, the first ones are not for the listeners, they're really for me and Nick, to see if I can stump Nick. So, how did the Easter chick cross the road? Or why, excuse me, why did the Easter chick cross the road? Why was it, Nick, do you know? Huh, I don't know. Easter chick crossed the road. Wren, got any ideas?
No. She was going to meet her peeps. Peeps. Very good. All right, you may know this one, it's pretty easy, where does the Easter Bunny study medicine? Hopper University. You got it, you got it, oh man, John Hopper, that was beautiful, Wren, I'm very impressed.
Very good, very good. All right, how does the Easter Bunny keep his fur in place? Ooh, Easter Bunny, you keep it. I like this one. I would have matted sheds at this time of year.
Yeah, it's hairspray, they use hairspray. And my personal favorite on the list, before I get to the really hard one. What do you call an Easter Bunny wearing a kilt? A Scottish egg. You're close. That's a good one. It is very close, it's actually hopscotch.
Hopscotch. Oh man. Yeah, you knew I'd eventually get to my actual riddle, and this will be the longest riddle in the history of kingdom pursuits, but it's worth it, I think you'll love it when you call in and win.
So here we go, it's long, but we'll just get up with it. So it's called the barber. After 20 years of shaving himself every morning, a man in a small southern town decided he'd had enough, so he told his wife that he intended to let the local barber shave him each day. He put on his hat and coat and went to the barbershop.
It was owned by a pastor of the town's Baptist church. The barber's wife, her name was Grace, she was working that day, so she performed the task. Grace shaved him and sprayed him with lilac water and said, that'll be $60.
The man thought the price was a bit high, but he paid the bill and he went to work. The next morning, the man looked in the mirror and his face was smooth as it had been when he left the barbershop the day before. Not bad, he thought, at least I don't have to shave every day. Well, the next morning, his face was still smooth, and it went like that for two weeks.
Every day, the man was unable to find any trace of whiskers on his face. And so eventually he thought, man, I need to return to the barbershop, and this time only the pastor was there. And so the man said to the pastor, because Grace wasn't there, he said, I thought $60 was a bit high for a shave, you know, but your wife did an amazing job.
It's been two weeks, and I'll have a single whisker on my face as smooth as it can be. Right? Now, by the way, don't answer this one, because listeners are going to get a chance to call and win, all right?
So the expression on the pastor's face didn't even change, expecting his comment, what was the pastor's response? If you know the answer to that one, you're good. 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884 is the number to call and win, and if you do that, Nick, tell them what they'll win.
Absolutely. Yes, you'll be winning a prize from our Kingdom Pursuits prize vault. It can be a date of the word calendar, a back scratcher, or a really good, our prize vault's just pulling out with something. Oh, it's got t-shirts, it's got books.
You call us, 866-348-7884. What did the pastor respond to this man who hadn't grown any whiskers since grace shaved him? We'll be back with more on that. So Grant, as God led you to write this book, I love how God puts that on people's hearts, and then he shows you something amazing. What did God show you as you were putting together Romans 9-1-1, which I'm sure everybody in the audience wants to know, what's Romans 9-1-1?
Robbie, this has been a long journey in my life. Well, the Romans 9-1-1 book, Romans 9-1-1 actually is similar to the word of God, it has a dull edge, it sounds an alarm, but it also focuses on Romans chapter 9 to 11, which are the two chapters in the New Testament that the Apostle Paul really drills down deeper into the relationship between Israel and the church. And we know that, you know, the Jews responded two ways to Yeshua. Those that believed and followed him established the church, and they took Yeshua out to the nations that God's children could believe in him and become one with him and one with him, and that one new man changed the world. Those that rejected suffered a judgment and a dispersion, but there is also a clear restoration that the Apostle Paul brings to light for us that is significant now as we move into this time.
So the Romans 9-1-1 project is an alpha-type teaching project now. We've drilled it down, it's a free teaching course, you can go on to romans911.org, and there are eight teachings that will invite you into a much deeper understanding of the church coming back towards Israel, first of all relationally, but then also corporately in how we are going to be prepared for these end-time plans as we draw closer to the Lord's return, Israel's salvation and the end-time harvest. So Robbie, there's a shift that has to take place now, and unfortunately that shift is foreign to us because the church grew up with a separate identity as it merged with Rome. Rome broke off its connection to its apostolic Jewish roots and heritage, and really Christianity became a separate religion, but it really isn't. Christianity is the true and proper extension of Judaism. The true and proper extension of Judaism is belief in Yeshua as the Messiah and embracing the new covenant that he brought to us.
In the Bible called it in the beginning, it was called the way. And so as, it's interesting, you know Robbie, the gospel has gone out to the four corners, and now in a sense it's returning, it's coming back towards Jerusalem, and so there's this drawback to Israel in the church, there's a good part of the church wanting to bless Israel, but there's a great need for us to come deeper into our understanding. The Lord has prayed for a complete unity in his body, and you know when you look at John 17 from this common-sensical perspective, how can the Father send the fullness of his glory, the fullness of his power, upon a church that is so divided? So we make the case that a rebuild of love and unity is needed in the family, and that now that Israel's awakening, foundational to this restoration, is restoring that one human between Jew and Gentile, and between all races, and churches beginning to come together that are still wanting to hold and stand upon the Word of God.
Yeah, that's absolutely beautiful. And you know, as you were talking about, Grant, there's a shift, a shift in understanding, and then a shift in being able to get the Word out, and Wren, that's very much what you guys are doing, you know, with Land and Rescue here in the United States, is trying to create this shift in understanding, you know, what human trafficking really is, and you know, what is our role in that? Yeah, that's a really good connection, and good way of putting that, sorry, I was enjoying listening to what he was saying. Yeah, so, with shifting people's perceptions, and it's really, I think, just a cultural shift, I think we've had a lot of, I don't necessarily want to call it fear-mongering, but everyone's got a voice right now on social media, which is fantastic. Society's more connected than it's ever been, social media, all that stuff is super helpful in a lot of ways, and in other ways it can be really damaging, as I'm sure everyone knows and has had an experience with that. And what we're seeing, and kind of something that we are trying to shift, is people are, you know, on social media, the media, all that stuff, they're proliferating this kind of misconception that human trafficking just looks like this one specific thing. It's only the sex trafficking of minor girls that are kidnapped, and they're trafficked by a complete stranger, and that's just not the case. Like I mentioned earlier, it is most common for people that are trafficked to be trafficked by someone that they know personally, whether it's a, oh, I'm going to get cut off.
Whether it's a relation, or if it's someone within their community group, or whatever that might be. So, we're trying to change that narrative, and when we don't change that narrative, it allows perpetrators to hide and play in sight, because, well, it couldn't be their uncle because they're not missing from school, their uncle couldn't be trafficking them. Yeah, I think we've got to go to a break room. I do. I do. But when we come back, we're going to finish that story.
We've got Ms. J has got to answer to the riddle. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Kingdom Pursuits, where we hear how God takes your passion and uses it to build the Kingdom and what beautiful passions we have today. We have Grant Berry with author, he wrote the book 9-1-1, Romans 9-1-1, and very cool at his website, romans911, did you say,.org, Grant? Yes. No, romans911.org.
Yeah, romans911.org. You can see there's an eight-step, I can hardly wait to go there myself, and check that out, as well as we have Wren, who's with Lantern Rescue, right? Human trafficking, they've been on the Truth Network for years. But so beautiful what they are up to and what they're getting the message out.
But oh my goodness, you should see all the people that have literally been rescued, and they work so much with law enforcement and with other governments. It's just amazing what God does with that, and we're going to talk about that here in just a minute after Wren is going to finish what she originally was talking about right before we had to go to the break. But we've got to get Ms. J in here because she knows the answer to the riddle. What was the pastor's response after his wife, Grace, shaved this man? Good morning, how are you?
I am wonderful. Do you remember? Yep. He looked at him and he said, Praise the Lord, you've been resurrected. He said that, I bet. But you know what he also said?
What? And you're a winner always, Ms. J, you are. But he also said, Of course, you've been shaved by Grace. Haven't shaved, always shaved.
I like that one, too. Haven't shaved by Grace. All right, thank you, Wren, God bless. You have a happy resurrection now. All right, bye-bye.
All right, getting back to Wren, I'll let you finish what you were saying when we went off. Yeah, no, I mean, I was pretty much wrapping up, but you know, when we have these misconceptions out there about what human trafficking looks like, and people are convinced that it's only missing children, and if a child's not missing, if they're at home, and this goes for children and adults, it's easiest to just say children, that's what people think of, but this happens to adults as well. People think if, you know, someone's not missing, that they are not trafficked, because there's so much in the media and in social media about, you know, kids missing, and they must have been trafficked, etc. But what happens when we proliferate, that misconception is that the real victims and the real perpetrators get to hide in plain sight, because they're, the victims are going to school every day, and the perpetrators are someone that you know in town, and they're related to the victim, and how could the uncle of this victim be their trafficker, that girl still going to soccer practice, that boy is still going to track practice, they're going to school.
So it makes it easier for them to hide right in plain sight when we have all these misconceptions out there. Right. And that is, again, one of the beauties of, you know, Land and Rescue's website, right? Landandrescue.org.
Oh my goodness, do they have resources and videos and stuff to show you, like video games. One of the horrific ways that people, and thing after thing, I mean, that's happening here in America, but one of the really, really cool things I want you to talk to about a minute, Ren, that Landand does, is she mentioned at the beginning of the show, that their involvement with law enforcement, and Ren herself is an attorney, that their involvement with law enforcement around the world and with governments around the world, to put the people that are doing the stuff behind bars, because if you rescue, you know, one girl, you'll end up rescuing, rescuing, rescuing, rescuing, but if you put the perpetrator behind bars, then, you know, at least you stop that particular supply chain, you know, where it's actually being done, right? Yeah, that's completely right. So there's a lot of value in rescue and evictions, obviously every life matters, and you want to get to every single one, right? But when we're not, like you mentioned, when we're not arresting the traffickers and prosecuting them to the fullest extent possible, then tomorrow morning when that trafficker wakes up and he's missing a victim because they've been rescued, they're just going to go a bit more. You know, so you're not actually decreasing the numbers in human trafficking when that's your approach, you're actually just substituting one victim for another. So to combat that, something that we really support and something that we train to is not just the rescues, but the arrests, the prosecutions, and that entire process there.
And yes, I am an attorney. Yeah, and it's beautiful because they literally, these teams go around the world and they train the law enforcement in these other countries to make the proper kind of arrest so they don't botch up the process, right? Yeah, so you know, we train to the crime types. So a lot of people have seen human trafficking in their lives, but they may have misidentified it as a different crime type. So they may have thought it was, or called it prostitution or a runaway kid or, you know, retail theft even in some cases, drug smuggling, we'll see forced criminality of victims where the victims are actually arrested because they're forced to perpetrate crimes for their trafficker. So a lot of people in law enforcement have seen some form of human trafficking most likely in their lives.
They just likely have misidentified it as a different crime type. So something that we work towards is just helping to, you know, get rid of those misconceptions because the same misconceptions on the media and social media happen in law enforcement. You know, start to dispel those myths, those rumors, and help them reconstruct their idea of what trafficking looks like. So when they do see it out on their patrols, or when they're responding to calls or whatever that might be, they can identify it as human trafficking, and they're able to actually help those victims. Right.
And utilize those laws. And it's a beautiful thing that God's Word is truth. And you know, the truth will always stand, you know. In the 119th Psalm it says, I word is true from the beginning, and every one of thy righteous judgments endures forever. Because the truth will always stand against lies. And so I love what Wren's doing, and Grant, you're doing exactly the same thing as you're unveiling truths, or essentially the lies are breaking down finally, and the truth is coming out, right?
Absolutely. And talk about lies, unfortunately there has been a very deceptive theological doctrinal teaching in the church, known as replacement or fulfillment theology. For some 17, 1800 years, well, it actually started to develop. And there's truth to replacement theology teaching in the sense that believing Jew and believing Gentile inherit the promises and the covenants of God, but never without the people of Israel. But unfortunately, the enemy got in there, and so most Christians don't even know what replacement theology is, Robbie. But they believe they are Israel without Israel.
And so you have this context, and it's really interesting, because there's great humanity issues here related to family mysteries. In other words, Jesus goes to the Pharisees, to the Jewish people in the temple courts in John chapter 10, and he explains to them, I have all these other sheep that have to come in, God's children from the nations. And if you look in the Hebrew Scriptures, there are numerous promises that God's, even to the covenants made to Abraham, that God was not just for the Jewish people, but he was also for all people.
He just had a calling on the firstborn and a purpose, the law had to be given to someone to expose sin, as Paul explains to us, so that ultimately the Lord could deliver us from it. So these lies, rooted to anti-Semitic spirits, need to get exposed in the Gentile side of the family. Trust me, we Jewish believers have our own issues that are keeping us separate from the church, and really, God's calling us together. You know, Robbie, one of our greatest mistakes in the church is we always think we have to be exactly the same, and yet there's this beautiful diversity that God has given to his body that we can learn to enjoy and freely experience the way in which each other connects to God, not necessarily having to be exactly the same. Oh that's so beautiful, I couldn't agree with you more. I hate we've got to go to a break, Grant, but we've got one more segment to come back and share, a little bit from Wren and Grant, again their websites, romans911.org and lanternrescue.org, I mean talk about two amazing resources to find some truth, to unravel these lies that we believe are huge and affecting our lives.
You're listening to The Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Kingdom Perceives where we hear how God takes your passion and uses it to build the kingdom today. Really I am so honored to have both these folks with us, both Wren with Landon Rescue, what they're doing around the world just blows my mind, how God hears the screams of people that are in horrific situations, unbelievable things I could never think of that I've heard through Landon Rescue that God is hearing those cries and going out there and rescue them. And the church, as Grant Berry with author of Romans 9-1-1, right, there's all these people that are struggling, believe me, struggling as the church is coming back together and unfortunately we don't have a whole lot of time left but Wren I just wanted to give you a moment here to say whatever it is you want to make sure you got said today that I haven't let you say. Oh I mean yeah no you always guide these conversations super well so I've pretty much got everything out but yeah we're just excited for the continued support of everyone and if you want to support the mission you can go to the website as Robbie had mentioned, lanternrescue.org. We're also very active on social media and we have a prayer group that you can join through texting the number for that is on our social media pages as well as on the website. We've got great stuff going on all over the world, Africa, South Central America, the Caribbean, here in the United States so we've got a lot going on. We've rescued, since Lantern started, we are now over 2,500 rescues total so that's pretty exciting, pretty amazing number.
Yeah so a lot going on, stay updated on social media, we're constantly moving, I just got back from a couple weeks in Africa, we're all over the place all the time so stay updated on social media and you'll get to see exactly what's happening. And you've got the program now where people can be a regular supporter, what do you call it? And they get special stuff. The liberators.
The liberators. Yeah, yep, that's our reoccurring monthly donors, the liberator group so yeah that's really wonderful, those are people that sign up to donate $35 or more a month. You can always donate less as a reoccurring donor but for those special perks like the special merch and discounts and the special group that you get to join that is $35 and more a month reoccurring and that just helps to support our mission on a reoccurring basis so that we're able to fund more things around the world and get to more victims.
Yeah because you can imagine the travel to go train these people across the country and all the different things that they encounter. It truly is one of the amazing things God's doing. But same question to you, Grant.
What did you want to make sure you got said today that you haven't had a chance to? You know, Robbie, I would say, you know, there are a lot of us that are hungry for revival in the church but I really want to make clear there is no replacement for this restoration. We do need to focus on the power and the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the love of God. We do need to focus on the governance and authority in the body through five-fold gifts. Finally the church needs to come back to prayer and intercession.
My house will be called a house of prayer. But this restoration goes much deeper than the church just blessing Israel. We've been on separate tracks and the Lord is now wanting to connect those tracks. This restoration of John 17 is in motion.
It's in the body. It's happening amongst a remnant and it's only going to grow because it's the heart of the Father to restore love and unity. In these last days, I honestly believe, Robbie, it won't be the power so much that will be remembered in these end times that God is going to move us into. But it will be about the love of God that the Lord has melted in our heart that will bring about the power and melt away the divisions. And that's what the Romans 9-1-1 Project teaching is all about.
It helps to get us on this pathway and release that understanding into us. And when you go through these teaching videos, through your small groups and Bible studies in the church, you will be transformed by them and beginning to see Israel and the church very differently than the way you did before. Darrell Bock Yeah, and I can tell you, I was saying that those interviews I've done at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention with Hebrew nationals, especially people with Magen David Adam, stuff like that where the church came to the rescue in so many different, the Messianic Church has got all sorts of supplies coming in and they see Christians in a light they haven't seen them in 1800 years. Don't you agree?
David Adam Yes. You know, the Jewish people in Israel see that much more clearly perhaps than the Jewish people in America. The Israeli Jews understand that Christians want to love them and bless them. But still, a lot of that is coming from Israel fulfilling our end time perspective and keeping and staying on a separate track, thinking that this reuniting is going to happen when Jesus comes back. But that is not God's plan. God needs to restore us that the church can fulfill its role with the mercy that it's been giving. I'm quoting Scripture here now, Robbie, Romans 11 31, with the mercy we've been given as a result of their disobedience, those Jews that rejected that we would release that mercy back to them, to call on the winds that the breath may enter these flames, that they may live. For the gospel, power of the gospel is to the Jew first and then to the Greek. Do not be ignorant to this mystery. We are coming into the fullness of both God's children in the nations and Israel's awakening and they are intrinsically linked together. Amen. Romans911.org. Again, lannanrescue.org. Thank you so much for listening today.
