She also talks about the connection between neurodegenerative diseases and research, and the importance of hope and love in the face of adversity. Meanwhile, Rabbi Chaim Eisen shares prophecies from the Hebrew Bible, including Leviticus 26, which describes the desolation of the land of Israel when its people are not in the land. He also discusses the growth of Jerusalem, despite its desolate surroundings, and the prophecies of Zechariah, which describe a Jerusalem without walls, bursting with multitudes and prosperity.

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. What a lineup we have for you today on Kingdom Pursuits. Especially timely, in my opinion, based on all that is. happened over the last 24 forty-eight hours. Uh in Israel we have um Some updates.

We have two different rabbis that are in Israel that will give us some information. First, and these will come in the second, third, and fourth segments. In the first segment, we just have our guests, and we got the guests throughout the show. But these rabbis, I got some recordings, as you may know, they're Orthodox Jewish people. They celebrate Shabbat and they don't do anything electronic at this time.

But I do have these recorded updates. The first two are from Rabbi Chaim Eisen, who's with ZionBible Studies.org. And he's going to give you some amazing prophecies that really help understand what. You know what has happened in Israel and why God is doing such amazing things in Israel. I think you'll really enjoy those.

And in the last segment, I have Rabbi Jeremy Gimple, and he is live from Argut Farms, which is the Furthest outpost in the occupied West Bank of Judah. And he has an orchard out there that everybody on the planet should see that seems to come up from nowhere.

Some of the bravest people I could possibly think are out there. And he is going to give you an update that I got last night on exactly how he sees things as far as what's going on presently with the military efforts and how it aligns with what God's doing.

So that's coming up again in the last segment and the second and third segments. We have Rabbi Chaim Eisen. And first of all, and very importantly, we have Rachel Kerr-Schneider. And she's the author of The Widow Chose Red. And my journey with Jesus, John, and And ALS, an amazing book.

It's out now on Amazon. And I'm so honored that you would be on with us, Rachel. How are you this morning? Robbie, I am great. Thank you so much.

I'm sending you a lot of love and prayers from Dallas, Texas. Oh, that's where my wife is from, Maybank, Texas, there on Cedar Creek Lake, not too far from the city. I know exactly where it is, Robbie. It's a nice, nice little sweet spot. I've been there many, many times, and I get to go to Dallas quite often to meet, see my in-laws, et cetera.

So I'm so glad. And what a wonderful place. But apparently, God had a difficult journey for you, it sounds like. Because when you say ALS, unfortunately, those of us who experienced anything close to that know that that's a painful, long journey. journey.

It is. And it's also a difficult thing to say, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It doesn't just roll right off the tongue. And It was nothing that I had ever really heard of before. My husband was diagnosed 17 years ago.

People are aware maybe of Lou Gehrig's, but because it's still a very rare disease, Robbie, the public really doesn't know a whole lot about it even still today after all of the all of the events and fundraising that we have done over the past 10 to 15 years. There are about 30,000 people currently in the United States that are living with ALS. There will be between 5,000 and 6,000 that will be diagnosed this year. It is still a death sentence between two to five years to live. There is still no known cause, and there is still no known cure.

Yeah. And most recently, you know, and it doesn't discriminate. Most recently, there's a very prominent celebrity in Hollywood that's just been diagnosed, Eric Dane. And he's hoping that there'll be a cure in his lifetime. And that is our prayer for it has been my prayer for the last 17 years.

So, Rachel, I'm very I wonder, because obviously you've worked a lot with ALS, a lot of people would call Luke Eric, and I have never known of anyone to survive it. Is there a case where somebody did to survive it? No, although there have been people, Stephen Hawking, the brilliant. Physicist is probably the one person that a lot of people are aware of who lived with it for over 25 years. He was diagnosed very young, and by the end of his life, though, he was completely incapacitated, both a breathing tube and a feeding tube, and was communicating only through an eye gaze technology.

So it is he and he was one in a million. I mean, most people. Two to five years is pretty much where you are. There have been cases, but people are basically incapacitated. They can't really function on their own and need full-time assistance and full-time care.

Wow, and so In your book, which is The widow chose red, which I'm sure that there's a story just in that, but it says my journey with Jesus, John, and ALS, so I'm guessing John was somebody in your life. John was my husband. John and I were married for 24 years. We had been at 21 years when he got this diagnosis. And like many of your listeners, we were just a young family.

I was a trailing spouse helping him go climb the corporate ladder. We relocated about seven times in 15 years. And I dutifully and happily created home and community as we moved all over the country. And in the meantime, we had two young sons. And John had been an athlete in high school and college, so he was used to having things in his body sometimes that didn't feel good or correct necessarily in a timely manner.

And yet, not unlike most people who are diagnosed with ALS, he was actually symptomatic for a year before they were able to figure it out. It can take anywhere from one to three years for people to figure out what is going on with their body because ALS is one of those neurodegenerative diseases, it can mimic MS. Parkinson's, Huntington's. Um and so it it it takes it takes a lot to figure out what's going on and it is not a diagnosis that any doctor wants to give and it is not a diagnosis that any client or patient wants to get. Yeah.

And so How long ago was that that that journey for you?

Well, he was diagnosed 17 years ago in 2008, and he died, went to heaven in 2011.

So he had three years of a straight line decline. And ultimately, Robbie, what happens is because your diaphragm, so the body self-paralyzes. The motor neurons that carry the messages to the muscles from the brain, they die. And so the muscles atrophy. And the body self-paralyzes while your brain stays completely present.

So imagine having an itch. on your nose and you can't raise your hand. to scratch it. you want to turn over in bed. You can't move.

and yet your mind is completely aware of I want to turn over or I've got this scratch. I mean, it is a brutal, brutal disease. And ultimately, what happens is a diaphragm is a muscle that moves your lungs. to breathe and it can't it can't function and so you suffocate. Right.

And and fascinatingly or tragically in its own way, you know, my grandfather had um Alzheimer's. And that was what actually took his life eventually. Essentially, whatever it took to remember to breathe, he couldn't He didn't do it and and he stopped breathing. Exactly. And Robbie, you're right.

There is a connection with all of these neurodegenerative diseases and research. I think if they can unlock the mystery of one of them, you know, then it will help unlock the mystery for the rest of them. But there are currently about 7 million people that are dealing with Alzheimer's, and then you look at ALS at 30,000, you can see the difference in the range of communities. Yeah. And unfortunately, I've dealt with ALS myself in very close actually.

I taught special needs for a number of years and some of For whatever reason, their family members had it. And then I watched the short period of time that that went that way.

Well, I need to tell you right now because the Break is coming. That coming out of the break, we're going to hear from Rabbi Chaim Eisen the first time about some prophecies about Israel. That's short, it's about five minutes, and we'll be back with Rachel. And we're going to try to get in our Robbie's riddles. We'll try to play some shenanigans when we get back just to lighten up the mood a little bit as we've got a lot of red to talk about.

And we're going to have a lot of fun.

So stay tuned. You're listening to The Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Oh my, a special special. Guest from Israel, Rabbi Haim with Zion Bible Studies. It's all one word, ZionBibleStudies.org.

And I think you guys are going to be blessed out of your socks on some of what God is doing in Israel and how that can include us, how we can be literally ambassadors out there for what God is doing and the great things He's doing. And so, Rabbi, you've got a passage for us to study and think about today. Yes, well well so we maybe we'll start just To have a sense of what the context is when we consider these words of. Leviticus. And uh the context I'm going to present, not exactly the sort of personality who you would necessarily associate with quoting scripture.

Mark Twain. Mark Twain. came through The land of Israel in 1867. And he left us a travel log. Formerly, the travelogue was dressed to his mother and was a very devout woman.

The Innocents Abroad. And it gives you a sense of what the land of Israel looked like then. And it gives you a sense of What God is working now.

So if I can Extra briefly, and this is really the context in which he quotes from Leviticus. There is not a solitary village. throughout its whole extent, referring to the valley of eight malala. And that's 30 miles in either direction. There are two or three small clusters of Bedouin tents, but not a single permanent habitation.

one may ride ten miles hereabouts and not see ten human beings. To this region, one of the prophecies is applied. And I quote From Leviticus chapter twenty six, verses thirty-two and thirty-three. I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and I will draw out a sword after you, and your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.

And Mark Twain adds, No man can stand here by deserted A Malara. and say the prophecy has not been fulfilled. And I just feel compelled to place matters in context. That is Leviticus chapter 26. presents to us The blessings And the truth.

Blessings. If we have a phone. I say this with Profound shame, but Yeah. And The currents. is forfeiture For Okay.

period of exile. The right to live in the land that God gave us. But the critical Aspect here that Mark Twain cites, and that really is central from our perspective as well. is this idea of when Israel isn't in the land, the land will be desolate. This expression rendered as Your enemies which dwell their end shall be astonished at it.

The Hebrew Maybe more rigorously reads. your enemies that dwell therein will be in a state of desolation themselves. Because the land Does that bring forth her bounty. for anyone. But her children.

Um that becomes so dramatic an aspect Of His description of the land. And maybe we'll devote some additional segments.

So considering a greater length, what he has to say about the dismal desolation that was the land of Israel. Yeah, and You know, Rabbi, it's amazing again to take the contrast of that's what it was like for Mark Twain in those days and. As we do further segments, we'll be talking about: oh my goodness, if you go to Israel today, you will see exactly the contrast. Between where you can see places where it's still like that, and you can see places where they've been inhabited, and the traffic, and the wonderful bounty, and all that's going on. God's at work.

And what great resources that we have here with Rabbi Heim to share to where you guys can have scripture and ideas of what God is doing in Israel for such a time as this. Again, you can go to ZionBibleStudies.org. That's ZionBibleStudies.org. You can connect with Rabbi Heim yourself if you need these resources or something along these lines. We're so grateful for you, Rabbi, and God bless you.

Thank you so much for doing this today. God bless you, and God bless all your audience out there. Looking forward to meeting everyone directly in person in Jerusalem. Amen.

So we are also featuring today Rachel Kerr Schneider. She's the author of The Widow's The widow chose Red, My Journey with Jesus, John, and ALS. And so before we get to the red part, we're going to get back to it. We've got to play some shenanigans because our listeners are wanting to call in and win today.

So speaking of red, right, we're going to have some red jokes.

So feel free to. If you can answer any of these, Rachel, just jump right in. And of course, we got both Nick and. My producers Nick and Randy who are going to give their best shot at this.

So. Here's the first question. What's red and bad for your teeth? What's red and bad for your teeth? Lollipop, Jolly Rancher.

Those are bad. Yeah. Those, those. How about you? Are you thinking, Randy, you got something?

I would say red wine. Red wine, okay. How about you, Rachel? What's red and bad for your teeth? Uh red icing?

There you go. This one's a little worse. It's it's a brick. Oh. Oh, okay.

All right. All right. What's small red and strum's sweet melodies to fruit? You ought to get this one, Nick. You're being along these lines.

What's small red and strums sweet melodies to fruit. I'm a bad musician. I don't know this one. Ah, it's a strawberry jam session. That's a good one.

I like that one. That's good. I thought that was good.

So, what's a good thing to say if thieves break into your shop and steal 15 cases of red bull? What would be a good thing to say? If somebody broke into your house or your shop, stole 15 cases of Red Bull. Randy, you got this one? No, sir, I do not.

I'm not shocked. This one's a bit tough, I gotta tell you. I happen to know. What you say is, I don't know how these people sleep at night. Right.

They'll be up for a while. Yeah. So at the end of that, you knew we would have a riddle that you could call in and win today. And so our riddle today is what was read in Rahab's story. What was read in Rahab's story?

So sort of, she couldn't be caught red-handed. Or maybe she was. Depends on how you want to look at that. What was read in Rahab's story?

866-348-7885. 866-348-7884. And if they can guess that, Nick, tell them what they win. Absolutely. Yes, you'll be winning a prize from our Kingdom Pursuits Prize Vault.

Robbie, we have a lot of new things in our prize vault. And if you know the answer to Robbie's riddle, give us a call at 866-348-7884. We got t-shirts, wristbands. And we've restocked the gospel back scratchers, so we're prepared for any desire. You guys saw a Bible keychain in there, too.

Oh, yeah, we got it all. What was read? And in Rahab's store, you call 866-348-7884. Getting back to Rachel.

So. Why does the widow choose red?

Well, you know, coming up, I think Rahab and I may have something in common now, Robbie. I mean, seriously, I'm just saying that whole red, I hadn't thought about Rahab and red for a while, but this widow chose red because red symbolizes the color of love, the color of passion, and also the color of fire, which is symbolized in the Bible, the Holy Spirit, with the flame at Pentecost, which we just celebrated a couple of weeks ago.

So for me, red was a no-brainer. It was just, this was a celebration of life because even though my husband died of a very devastating and brutal disease, he lived a terrific life and he finished well. And that is what I wanted to that's what I wanted to celebrate. And we also my boys were 10 and 14. They were very young.

We had a lot of young kids at the event. And there are QR codes in the book. My boys recited a poem, you may know it, called The Dash. And they recited the poem, and I had the presence of mind to have a videographer tape the service. This is 14 years ago, so that these boys would have something to be able to remember how others spoke of their father.

And we had the wristbands that said, Live your dash. And then, of course, we had the reception at the church afterwards, and I let my boys pick the menu. And, of course, so everybody had pizza, Robbie. We all had pizza. And it was red, too, I'm going to guess.

You're absolutely right. Are you familiar with. Why that rope was red? That's okay. No, please remind me.

Would you please? I'm going to remind you that rope was red because it was a scarlet cord, but the color scarlet came from the scarlet worm that David would talk about in Psalm 22, which is Jesus on the cross. It points it all together. It's called the scarlet thread of scripture. But the scarlet worm, and it tells you this actually in most Bible dictionaries.

This particular Kind of worm. The when it bears its young, it attaches itself to a tree with the young between um the tree and themselves, and then it essentially allows its young to eat the worm that themselves, which creates this red dye where the tree is marked in red. And so they harvest these worms that essentially die so that their children can live. To create this very, very expensive at the time, scarlet dye. And so that That whole idea is this idea of ho not just love, but hope.

Because it's it's takava in Hebrew, and that word. Is beyond spectacular and so grateful for. You being with us on it again today. It's the The Widow Chose Red, My Journey with Jesus, John, and ALS. You can find it at Amazon or probably any great bookstore.

By all means, get it. And then, you know, fill out the stuff for the author. Give her a great review. People love that kind of thing. We're going to be right back with more Rabbi Heim and more with Rachel.

You're listening to The Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Um What's the humorous short left to have? Rabbi Hein Eisen with us, and he's with Zion Bible Studies at Zion BibleStudies.org, sharing with us some of the amazing, amazing things that are happening in Israel. And let me just share with you as you're listening to this: just think that if you have a chance to go to Israel, you contact ZionBibleStudies.org. He would love to share Shabbat with you.

He would love to celebrate Shabbat with you. That would be the Sabbath for those of us, and that would be a Saturday from Friday noon, that particular Sabbath, that he would share with you amazing stuff. And As we are learning more and more about the prophecies and the things that Rabbi is going to share with us, I just. I think you'll see that God's doing amazing things in Israel for such a time as this. Rabbi?

Absolutely. Absolutely. you see prophecies springing to life before your eyes. Without any question. And maybe just to continue on the theme that we began last time.

You know, going back to Mark Swain. But If we're going to Speak of Jerusalem, but you can't help but focus on Mark Twain's encounter with Jerusalem. He writes again in The Innocence Abroad, 1867: the further we went, referring to going towards Jerusalem. The hotter the sun got and the more rocky and bare, repulsive and dreary the landscape became. There could not have been more fragments of stones drawn bro broadcast over this part of the world.

There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere, even the olive and the cactus. those fast friends of a worthless soil had almost deserted the country. No landscape exists that is more tiresome to the eye than that which bounds the approaches to Jerusalem. The only difference between the roads and the surrounding country, perhaps. that there are many rather more rocks in the road than in the surrounding country.

And the Continues his description of more and more unsightly landscape until finally. At last away, in the middle of the day, ancient bits of walls and crumbling arches began to line the way. We twirl up one hill. And every pilgrim and any every sinner swung his hat on Holy Jerusalem. Perch on its eternal hills white and domed and solid masked together and hooped.

with high gray walls. The venerable city gleamed in the sun. And this is what he has to say.

So small. Why? It was no larger than an American village of 4,000 inhabitants. Jerusalem numbers only 14,000 people. Hold on to that number.

Because I need to insert here. by just one hundred fifty years later, Jerusalem's population had surpassed Nine. hundred thousand people. That's a population increase. Over 6,400%.

Not dead for 150 years.

Well. Not nothing surprising, but of course this is being guided by the hand of God.

So Mark Twain She is This tiny little city. He goes on to describe it as A city, a fast walker could go outside the walls of Jerusalem and walk entirely around the city in an hour. I do not know how else. can make one understand how small it is. And that was the Jerusalem that he saw.

In eighteen sixty-seven.

Well Not exactly. but awfully close. Because Indeed. By the time that Mark Twain came to Jerusalem, came to the land of Israel, The first neighborhoods outside of the old city had begun to be built. Inside the old city, There was such overcrowding.

The air was fetid, the sanitary conditions were horrendous.

So you might wonder how much people were prepared to pay in order to be able to move outside the city. And of course the irony is that Hey? They have to be paid In order to agree to move outside the city, and even then. It was on condition that When sunset came, they could all scurry back into the overcrowded conditions of the old city. Why?

The answer can be summarized in one word. Highwaymen. A land in such a state of utter desolation was a prowl with bandits. it was literally mortal danger to be caught outside the walls. when night fell.

And every night the gates of Jerusalem will be locked and bolted in order to protect the people of Sam.

So it again gives you some sense. of the extent to which The land was in such a state of utter desolation. And yet simultaneously. Jerusalem. Against all odds.

begins to grow. Um Yeah, inevitably, this also occasions Considering Prophetic words in particular. If We can share The words of Zechariah chapter. Chapter 2 The prophet sees an extraordinary vision And one can't help but wonder. What exactly did people think he was describing for most of the last two and a half millennia.

Since it describes these words. I lifted up my eyes and saw and behold a man, this man emerges. to be an angel. with a measuring line in his hand. Then I said, Where are you going?

and he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof and what is the length thereof. And behold, The angel that spoke with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem. shall be inhabited without walls. For the multitude of men and cattle therein. For I, says the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.

And inevitably, what we can't help but consider is that For the last three thousand years, Jerusalem always existed in just one of two states. Either it was walled or it was destroyed. If it wasn't in a state of abject destruction, it'd have wall for protection. If we didn't have a wall, It was what it was ignorant. And yet Zachariah describes A Jerusalem?

in which The walls Have been Surpasses. Superseded. by a city bursting through its seams. Because of all the multitudes within it. tech never existed.

What's he talking about? Pog that is it never existed. Until to be very precise. the eighteen sixties. If you look at a map of Jerusalem today, The old city is little more than a smudge in the middle.

in a vast metropolis. That's what Zachary was describing. Again, how did people read Zechariah? for the last two and a half millennia. I had no idea.

But I know how I read Zachariah. I'm sure how you'll read Zechariah. Because We see. prophecies. more current.

Then today's newspapers. Yeah, for such a time as this, again, Rabbi Chaim Eisen, oh, to go celebrate Shabbat with him as I got to do here a few weeks ago. It's ZionBibleStudies.org, ZionBibleStudies.org for more resources to contact the Rabbi himself. Thank you so much, Rabbi. Great to have you on again.

God bless you. God bless you. Wow, for such a time as this, again, we've got one last update coming from Rabbi Jeremy Gimple in the next segment, which is a lot shorter, just a couple, three minutes, as he tells you what's going on currently there. But again, we're joined by Rachel Kerr-Schneider, who's the author of The Widow Chose Red. And so, Rachel.

Um as people who who were you hoping would buy this book? People who are going through something that they never imagined. People who are believers who are struggling with their faith, who are questioning, why is this happening to me? Because I had I never said, why me, Lord. I said, why not?

But I did believe for the longest time, Robbie, that if anybody was going to be healed of ALS, it was going to be my husband. because we serve a great and mighty God who is the almighty healer, who can cure anyone of anything at any time. And so I thought, not because of anything I'd done, but because of who he is, that if somebody was going to be healed, it was going to be my husband. And about two years into this, I realized, ah, this story's probably not going to end the way that I want it to. And my prayer became, okay, Lord, help me, help me, help me help him.

And that's, of course, what God did.

So that's what I want to provide for people in this book is additional support. and inspiration and encouragement. Um and they can reach out to me directly um through the book, through my website, through social media. I would love to be able to support you in any way that I can. We got one more segment again.

It is The Widow Chose Red. Uh but my journey with Jesus You're listening to The Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. It's three o'clock in the morning, glued to the screen. Following all of the developments, and in less than 24 hours, the world has been totally changed, and the world will never be the same again. In six coordinated waves, the Israeli Air Force has already eliminated senior Iranian regime officials, including the entire leadership of the Iranian Air Force, who were all meeting together to plan a strike against Israel.

Shalom, friends. It's moments before Shabbat, and I wanted to send this message out to everyone. I landed in one of the last flights to land in Israel before this war. I've been up since 3 o'clock in the morning, glued to the screen, following all of the developments. And in less than 24 hours, the world has been totally changed, and the world will never be the same again.

In six coordinated waves, the Israeli Air Force has already eliminated senior Iranian regime officials, including the entire leadership of the Iranian Air Force, who were all meeting together to plan a strike against Israel. And in one blast, Israel took them all out. Israel eliminated all of the top nuclear scientists in Iran. We struck the Natan's nuclear facility and missile systems in Tehran. We destroyed missile infrastructures in western Iran.

We followed up with another wave of precise tracks of other nuclear facilities and strategic targets. And so far, Iran has been so shocked and caught off guard, the big bad Boogeyman has responded like a deer in headlights. Even the missiles and the drones they attempted to send to Israel were all intercepted before entering into Israeli airspace.

So looking back now at the last 600 plus days of war, what started off with the terror organization Hamas and Gazans infiltrating Israel with trucks. Is ending with a new free world in the Middle East. We destroyed Hezbollah's terror infrastructure in Lebanon, which led to the collapse of the Ashad regime in Syria, which really ended Iran's land bridge to Israel and opened up the skies for the Israeli Air Force. We already took out Iran's missile defense system. earlier in retaliatory strike.

You can't make this up. But this week's Torah portion, Baha'lotcha, God commands Aaron the priest to raise up the light of the menorah, Baha'lotcha, Taneh wrote, to raise up the flame until it rises on its own. That's not just talking about lighting candles. That's talking about igniting the soul of the nation of Israel, elevating our soul until Israel can stand alone, stand proud, and stand unstoppable. We will radiate a light from our ancestral homeland, from our God-given promised land that the forces of evil keep on trying to take away from us.

Prime Minister Netanyahu called this war Rising Lion. Because the flame of Israel is rising and it won't stop until a new day shines from Zion that will illuminate the entire world.

So stay tuned. Stay plugged in and keep your eyes toward Jerusalem because what happens in Jerusalem will ultimately affect the entire world. And as Jerusalem rises up, all the forces of good will rise up together with it. Shabbat Shalom. That is Rabbi Jeremiah Gimple.

He's actually in the IDF and also a rabbi, and also is the farmer in the furthest most region of Judah and is in the West Bank. Amazing man.

So getting back to Rachel. We got a few minutes left here, and I know that one of the things that you said I'm very interested in it said. What to do when God says no? Yeah, right? Because we hate hearing that word, don't we?

Yeah. We hate it. And yet, what we have, what we know. And since we, most of us, have been parents ourselves, and you know, he is our Heavenly Father, He knows what's best. K N O W versus And what I do know, Robbie, is that he had a whole nother life planned for me.

I would have never dreamed it. It was beyond my imagination. And there will be more books coming. There will be a second book about being a single mom and raising both my boys and a journey through addiction and rehab. And then the third book will be about God, the guy, and the girls.

How I met a widower who had four girls. We waited ten years, dated long distance, waited till the kids were out of the house, and then we took them to Israel and got married at the Sea of Galilee. Oh, wow. I can picture that in my eyes. It's beautiful, right?

Absolutely, absolutely.

So I hope to have another conversation with you again, Robbie. I have loved listening. You know, Israel is just, as you have said, it is a beautiful, special place. It is the apple of God's eye. And anyone, get there.

Get there. When it's safe, get there, because it is absolutely amazing. And all six of our kids absolutely fell in love with it. That is so cool. And wouldn't you agree?

It's more than amazing the Israel that Mark Twain saw. Versus what what is there today with them in the land. If you don't see that's a miracle, you don't have your eyes open. You're absolutely correct. I couldn't agree more.

And it's a beautiful thing, and we can rejoice that we live in these times, but also that God's with us in these really difficult, really difficult situations. Again, I would urge you to maybe you know somebody that's going through something like this with ALS or some other disease. It's called The Widow Chose Red: My Journey with Jesus, John, and ALS. It's available on Amazon, but as I always say, Get it and then rate the author, you know, give them a review. Tell them what you think.

It means the world. Believe me, not just to them, but other people are considering the book. Maybe need to buy some to hand out. Go to amazon.com to do that. Thank you, Rachel, so much.

And we will have another conversation, I promise. I'll look forward to that. Gods, Robbie. Godspeed. All right.

Thank you all for listening today. By the way, Rahab's rope was red, if you didn't know that, but I can't believe nobody called in for that. But we were busy today. We got so much truth coming at you. We got Mike Zwick, If Not For God, followed by, we got an encouraging prayer first with James Banks.

Stay tuned.

So much truth coming at you on the Truth Network.
