What You Didn't Know About Jewish Tradition

Jewish tradition doesn't have more authority than the Jewish Scriptures start for the line of fire with your host activist author national speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of Ministry of the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. will I have been feverishly, joyously, prayerfully signing copy of my book our new booklet together with Nancy inside and later breaking the stronghold of food. If you preordered a signed numbered copy of we are getting them ready and they're gonna be coming your way in the next couple of weeks you'll have them then the release from general public.

The question relating to Islam. We can answer some of those as well.

Messianic prophecy kinds of questions. Questions about Judaism 866-34-TRUTH 87884 member to call of God important announcement to share with you in a moment the some terrific news. The first let's look at Proverbs chapter 23 and I want to give you a Hebrew insight into this text. If you look in different translations. You will get some different renderings okay most most say to look at what is before you. When you sit down to eat with a ruler, consider carefully what is before you. That's King James new King James CSB USB USB are similar, and IV and ET and LT all sing basically the same thing but the complete Jewish Bible David Stern translation and the new Jewish version is a Jewish scholars say something different Stern translation. Think carefully about who was before you knew Jewish version. Consider well who is before you. The Septuagint consider attentively the things set before you. So why is there any ambiguity at all in the text. It's pretty clear beginning when you sit to eat with a ruler, consider carefully any recess at a share which could mean that which then is before you.

That so would not only understood but it could also mean who not that which but who is before you and that and in either case, that is the that is the translation the lateral with who that some of these other Jewish translations follow up and let's go on and and notice what it says. Either way, the reach of the NET when you sit down to eat with a ruler, consider carefully what is before you and put a knife to your throat if you possess a large appetite. The.

The Hebrew idiom is very interesting so little large appetite and he was a ball Nefesh Nefesh can mean soul. It can mean the person himself or herself here it's it's talking about the appetite. It's an unusual and unusual usage of the word in Hebrew when you're given to something you can be called a a master of that elbow here. It doesn't mean you're your master, but in fact mastered by fish but put a knife to your throat if you have a big appetite if you're given to gluttony. Why because you sitting before the king and prays that this is the scepter is on the sellout, rich, interesting passage related Scripture like that file to light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown this is Michael Brown and want to take you Jewish related questions over the course of the broadcast catch up on some Jewish news and give you some insights on Jewish tradition and how that interfaces with Scripture, have authority over Scripture does work hand-in-hand with Scriptures and subservient to Scripture.

May I share another Hebrew verse with you on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday. Sometimes we get special gifts sent then I will sign a letter personally thanking folks for for gifts that they've sent into the ministry and sometimes will will add this verse with it put on the reference Proverbs 1125 in the. The Hebrew is is very concise. It's just a total of what seven words Nefesh Brokaw to do Sean and it is really translated a generous person, but it is literally a soul of blessing, that person will literally be made. Fact, that is a biblical way of talking about vitality and fatness, not an unhealthy ways to talk about our new book on regular stronghold of truth, but in a healthy, thriving way.

Not starting out amazing so spiritually enriched Nefesh Brokaw to do. Sean, the generous person enjoys prosperity. The mark that Gomm who you know that and and the one who waters others literally himself will be water satisfied to the one who satisfy those will be satisfied.

I'm confident I'm confident that God will stand with you know it's not if you give a gift to help us in Jewish outreach you're gonna get a Porsche but it is to say, as you give the gobble supply and God will meet that need for you and for us as we partner together in the gospel. 866-34-TRUTH let's take some calls.

I will start New Jersey with David know we won't won't.

Let's also New Jersey Jeremy welcome to light a fire during Dr. Michael Law thanks very well loud and clear. Our goal felt very particular. My call my question. I'm a believer I got believer, I have a body.

I like what I'm talking here recently reconnected with ease Jewish guy what I think you and I needed a very Jewish in name only grew up in the Jewish faith far but but but I'm not really religious Jewish person, but decrepit. You and you got it, but I honor the fact that I'm a man of faith, and I really bet that he's very open and I like the gospel with him but I get what I wanted to and they both looked at the Jewish faith sharing the gospel. What would you fare like one or two or three. He that you think are really a good fight start when the name that has always been. No, that's not our guy. The first thing person Jeremy if he didn't grow up in a religious home, his objections and issues will be much less insulin growing up in a traditional home be the same with anyone in any religion if they grow very devout and that religion will have more objections in terms of turning away from that.

When you talk to about something that seems new to them but number one your personal testimony would God's done in your life is always powerful because this this individual does not have that same relationship with God that you have. He doesn't know forgiveness of sins that we've experienced that he doesn't understand intimacy with God the way that you do so that's the first thing personal testimony is always powerful. Second thing Jews are sinners like everybody else and usually the Savior like everybody else. Therefore, when you talk about Santa you talk about the commandments and and and just help them to see that he needs the Lord. It's the same for everyone.

There'll there are many many objections Jewish objections that that come up. But basically what you want him to understand is that Jesus is a Jew who came for the Jewish people. He's not the head of some foreign religion. He is a Jew he came for the Jewish people is the Jewish Messiah the basics that that his name is Yeshua that Christ actually means Messiah. The New Testament is a Jewish book. If he understands his Internet semi going outside the faith you're talking about coming to the one that's been prophesied within the faith and if he says yeah but what about these Christians through history them and they've done terrible things to Jews which need to says yeah there have been hypocritical Christians and false Christians through the centuries who have persecuted Jewish people, but that's totally contrary to what Jesus taught and people like me who really love the Lord. Obviously we do the opposite we treat the Jewish people. The opposite way, which you might find helpful.

Jeremy is to get a copy of my book, the real culture. Jesus and to read that book and then to give it to him to reduce the number one book that I wrote to help a Christian understand who Jesus really is is my number one book that I wrote you give to a Jewish person to help them understand who Jesus really is, as the Messiah and Savior so the book is called the real culture, Jesus, and in it I counter some of the common objections that do come up from the Jewish community and the Lord, we pray that you will bless Jeremy and use them to reach his friend with the disease just as Gentile Christian friends reach me is 45 years ago.

God bless you Jeremy � calling again. What you find helpful is the real culture. Jesus my Jewish website is the real Messiah real Messiah.com for cleansing by Expo light a fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown know there's up the joyous Jewish music. Naturally and there is more mournful Jewish music. Naturally, music expresses all the emotions of the soul and the experiences of life you here some Jewish music. With that mournful tone and some of that celebratory tone expressing the ups and downs of Jewish life as you would expect music in any culture to do this is Michael Brown it's 30 Jewish Thursday number to call 86634 to 866-34-TRUTH 7884 before I go back to your Jewish related calls.

Maybe you been following the fires in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Maybe you actually vacation there. We've done that with our family.

Lots of fun things to do with the family in Gatlinburg. But overall, a lower income area outside of all the tourism terrible fires there.

Lots of damage and number of deaths as well. Seems to be in much better shape now than over the last few days, but the fires in Israel, those have been under control and taken care of for several days now, but there were well over 200 same time, many were arrested for arson a Palestinian. This is just another type of terrorism.

Many were arrested for arson of the fires could not simply be explained by the dryness of the ground and the fires under control. A lot of people had to vacate homes and in Haifa, but but the.

The great problem is the lasting damage that was done because their wildlife preserves and things like that. There are certain animals that were able to flee.

Others were were not an Israeli leaders estimate that it could take a decade to two or three decades for everything to be properly restored some of these. These are lasting effects of terrorism and the fires in Israel and one other note, I just want to give you about Jewish tradition all expand on this over the broadcast report that you miss I just go to the website is wrong for two full hours in different parts the country disc of the website.

The line of fire.org and when you're there. Just click on listen to listen to today's broadcasts was archived a couple of hours after the show is done, so I'll be talking more about Jewish tradition over the course of the show, but in case you're not aware of this are very very fundamental level, traditional Jews believe that when God gave the law on Mount Sinai. He gave it in written form. That's what we have in the five books of Moses, so that the legal portions within that and he gave it an oral form to Moses that's part of what he did when Moses was on the mountain for 40 days of fasting and communing with God that according to Jewish tradition, God gave Moses insight into the meaning of the laws. For example, if it says don't work on the Sabbath explained to Moses what constitutes work and what doesn't constitute work or if it said don't steal explained to Moses what is stealing and what is not stealing. And if you find something in the field laying there alone and you pick it up is that stealing is it not still and on and on it goes when it says don't go out of your dwellings on the Sabbath. What exactly does that mean you don't go to the house and all the credit of a certain area. So according to traditional Jews. Moses was given both explanations of the laws and the keys to interpret the written law to deduce these oral explanations and these were passed on through the generations. But along the way at different times, things were forgotten, the sin of the golden calf cause things to be forgotten that the subsequent generations didn't remember his mother had to reconstruct etc. so you and then as the laws developed different scholars would have different interpretations and opinions. Hence the diversity of views within Judaism, but to a traditional Jew you cannot read the Scripture on its own.

A Protestant Christian would say so. The Scripture Torah Scriptures alone or God for faith and life in a Catholic Christian would say is the Scriptures plus church tradition, traditional Jew would say that the written law and the oral law are all one, but only the Jewish people have the oral law which eventually was put down in writing. Now I've written extensively to rebut this idea that there is an unbroken chain of tradition going back to Moses on Mount Sinai taken pains to do that in volume 5 of my series on answering Jewish objections to Jesus really heavily devoted to that.

But that is a great obstacle to overcome in dealing with the traditional Jew that the traditional Jew believes that in their mind is one Rabbi puts me tradition is like another book of the Bible that it carries equal weight and authority and in fact, because you can't rightly understand Scripture without the tradition, even though the written word is the highest. It is the tradition that helps you unlock the word.

According to traditional Jewish views and therefore by unlocking the word. It now has relevance and meaning with without that key it won't.

That's a traditional judiciary that I of course do not hold to all expand on that a little bit more over the course of the broadcaster for those just catching this first half hour. I want to make sure I got that in light let us go to the phones we go to Barbara in Alexandria, Virginia. Welcome to the line of fire.

I now I'm back exporting her.

I love the Lord. I love the Bible that I would go out lady and I Jewish people that I got a guy I grew up there were form angle and not anyway.

So we were reading about Larry Wilder and his parents had already laughed and I come back I got it done and I had to be about my father and I were out what I think that you don't think of God. My father and he said no or they don't.

I never thought it might side it didn't hear God. Yes, a celebrity, just comment and I'm only jumping into make sure I get the answer before the break.

Geez, Wilfredo frail, vina McKinney will father our king Jesus will will look to God as as heavenly father but never one the surprise that a boy that young would have this consciousness of God his father and that's the business that he had to be about, or his father's house that that he related to God and that we will striking the fact that he related to God is all about was certainly unusual. In other words the intimacy of it and that same spirit of his son could do is print our hearts, whereby we cry out, Abba. So growing up in a conservative you shall know II was, not taught to think of God as as father, but again I was not that religious or traditional traditional Jews a set of course with the gauze father, but I can assure you Barbara that the intimacy of father son father daughter relationship that we enjoy as Jewish followers of Jesus, to which, through which God is all about. To us, and we have been intimacy of individual sons and daughters.

I assure you that is unique to those who know Jesus as the Messiah.

In that sense you're very right. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 8664 through here again is Dr. Michael Brown is my I have. Thank you.

Marty gets thoroughly Jewish Thursday segment. This is Michael Brown. I am delighted to be with you before I go back to the phones. It is true that Prime Minister Netanyahu reached out to post authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, who has been reelected to his position as leader of posting authority. He reached out to him to thank him for four helping with the forest fire crisis in Israel. But just so you understand that this is not some wonderful rapprochement between them was some some new detente.

Mahmoud Abbas has made very clear that his stance remains 100% the same regarding an independent state, and how he views Israel according to our reached Shiva a PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is also leader fought talk and the PLO wanted to clear the fought talk will never give up on its principal's character and identity in order to achieve the dream of freedom and an independent state health. You could say we still want an independent state that we recognize Israel as part stimulus and peace in the integrity of Israel being in the land, etc. that's very different than this. Abbas was speaking at the fought talk conference being held in Ramallah the day after he was reelected by consensus. As far talk leader attendees at the conference which is being held for the first time since 2009 include representatives of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist groups were invited directly by fought talk in their feuding intensely enough among themselves. Despite the fact that Abbas is considered a moderate by most of the Western world will Hamas and Islamic Jihad clearly openly call for the destruction of the state of Israel is speech on Wednesday, Abbas reiterated that the Palestinian Arabs will not accept estate with temporary borders or interim solutions stressed that they will continue to refuse to recognize Israel as a Jewish state suggestion understand this remains the mentality of possibilities and of course Hamas remains committed to exterminating the Jewish state. He reiterated the demand to implement the Arab peace initiative without changes estate is that the PA would continue its efforts with the helper from the our countries to quote approve a Security Council resolution against Israeli settlements that Israeli settlements there is debate about that. There even some supporters of Israel that think these could be provocative Tory, but again for the Palestinians. It's basically all or nothing at all in terms of their dealing with Israel and my heart goes out to them to the people because they been hurt by their leaders not helped by their leaders.

There are even times when when Israel was willing to to bend over backwards and ends give away things that would outrage much of the country and it still wasn't enough. In fact, sometimes right after that intifada was launched, referring to the 1917 Balfour declaration which proclaimed Britain support for the establishment of a Jewish national home and then Palestine.

Abbas said that the PA is negotiating with Britain to apologize for the publication of this document correct the injustice done to the Palestinians and recognize the state of Palestine. The PLO has in recent months launched a new campaign in an attempt to force Great Britain to apologize for the Balfour declaration go so far as to threaten to sue Britain over the 99-year-old document of just last week, Abbas's spokesman demanded that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the end of the Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria and other words there can be Arabs couple million Arabs living in the land of Israel. But there can be no Jews living in what would be a Palestinian state. Yes, so again once more. You see the glaring differences between the opposing Israel of the house. This method, Abbas reelected as leader talk specifically reelected as leader of house authority, which is still the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 866. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you for joining us on the line of fire. This thoroughly Jewish Thursday, 866-34-TRUTH we go right back to the phones George in the Bronx welcome to light a fire.

Thank you. I am calling about the question of the element in the passover. The Jewish Passover that Jesus took his own supper from and began to supper as we know it as the year Jesus Lord's supper or communion or mass or whatever the elements from that Passover should they not be the line or the or the grape juice is it that's my question. The other is should not the bread be unleavened bread like the matzoh for the Christians as well as Jews to answer that question yet sure that there is some debate among scholars as to most believe that the meal that they eight was the Passover meal, in which case it would been unleavened bread believe it was the day before the day of preparation, in which case it wouldn't of been unleavened bread, but in in most circles arrive partaken of communion through the years are in many it has been matzoh it has been unleavened bread to remember the conjunction with the Passover and then even the imagery of the the bread that that kind of purest form of the bread in it, remind us of the broken body of the Messiah, but that being said, because first Corinthians, Paul talks about this in the context of a love feast of these were communal meals that the believers had in the context of these meals.

They would eat and they would drink and they would celebrate the Lord's supper of so we can't necessarily assume that every time they did that they had unleavened bread, so it's perfectly fine to do that in in remembrance of the Passover and content and connecting it directly with the Last Supper. I just wouldn't say it's necessary. In other words, if I'm in another country and believers are celebrating communion by taking a loaf and breaking off the peace River.

Paul uses that same imagery how how we all eat but was from the same loaf and you don't have a loaf of matzoh right so you could well partake of it just with a regular piece of bread. Break off that piece of bread in and pass the loaf on the analysis of scene done in other settings. As for whether it is wine or grape juice. Of course there was wine that was used in the in the Last Supper and in the Jewish Passover, though it was real wine. The wind was not his fermented then as it as it is today, so it had less alcoholic content in. I've been in congregations for communion that have wine and for those that we know when Paul is talking about the love feast. When people eat together.

That was why because some people got there early and started drinking actually got drunk and pulsing the specific communal meal here you're getting drunk and eating all the food before more people come I've been in circles where they say okay in the middle is there passing them out is the wine and on the outside is the grape juice below and pick accordingly. But generally speaking, sir, because it's imagery and it's reminding us of his of his blood. It is the color of it that that is the real issue and the wine like taste which is going to be there with Weiner with grape juice and because so many people struggle with alcohol because for many people just one step of of wine is going to open up the floodgates of desire to have a drink not, I don't relate to that.

When I got saved. I had no place for drinking because I only drank to get drunk I didn't even like the taste of it is only trying to get drunk. So of course I turned away from that one my wife Nancy got saved to 1/2 years later she immediately she had nothing to do with drinking either. That's because she love the taste of wine and love the taste of alcohol some elements for her. It was a temptation to be avoided.

For me it was just something that you it was a sinful temptation at Dignan Pawnee so that being said, in most places, you will see grape juice because there is the potential of their there is the potential of people getting drunk or, more realistically, just rekindling a desire for alcohol and therefore the grape juice has replaced and most of our sins, and I believe that's perfectly fine and got sick as well were doing something to remember and that is perfectly sufficient for remembering the Messiah sacrificial death.

Thank you for the call 866-34-TRUTH others go to Gabrielle and Maryland. Welcome to the line of fire. Yes, low, I ought I had any information on Michael it you know that I do not align the mile when none on the note Hebrew Israelites sometimes defined the previous Black Hebrew Israelites are almost all of African-American is a release, people of color, but almost all African-American.

They are not Jewish by physical dissent.

They claim to be the original Jews. They would say someone like me that I'm not really Jewish they would say that the six ranges killed by Adolf Hitler that they want really Jewish. They claim that we are European converts basically and that they claim to be the original Israelites, not some of them are extreme to the point of the white man is the manifestation of Satan and his hell down there is no salvation for the white man. Some of them do believe in Jesus being the Messiah and the Savior but they believe that they are also called to keep the commandments of the Torah and this is come up a lot that we we had a a stretch of time where we were getting virtually every week several different people between social media and calls wanted to ask about the men and at some point I hope to do some debates.

My friend Dr. James White has debated them already, but if you go to Carmen CA RM Karam.org right caught Karam.org you'll just type in Black Hebrews Hebrew Israelites, you'll find a good amount of information they believe the original is rights for black okay and and that Jesus and the apostles were black and that again we white Jews are Caucasian Jews or Middle Eastern Jews that were not really Jews or imposters or whatever they believe. Also, if you want something shorter, but will address this issue go to my website. Asked Dr. Brown.org SK dear Brown.org and click on the digital library and search for the ancient Israelites by just putting the word black in the digital library and you get that info. So Carmen CA RM.org will tell you more about the Hebrew Israelites and my website asked Dr. Brown double-click on the digital library chart-black you see my short video answer the question with the ancient Israelites lack and between social you'll get some useful information out to get you started and this is not a good direction that this person is taken, you need to really pray that God will bring that out of deception argue because very combative not to be asked extremely, extremely combative, extremely legalistic, extremely judgmental and an increasingly angry as you address certain things so that's why I really gotta hopefully for centuries to her in and pray that God will deliver her from deception.

You are very welcome 866-34-TRUTH we have several new important videos up on our digital library.

Why won't the White House one with the administration say that the Ohio State University attack was Islamic terrorism. Others just have to call it extremism or terrorism. Why can't they recognize the real source of it and verify that video on the fixer-upper couple yes super super popular on HDTV now coming under criticism because, get this. They attend gospel preaching church. The police with the Bible says about sexuality and marriage, perish the thought, yeah, unreal. Absolutely unreal.

Thank you for taking my call. Dr. Brown on Sunday early Sunday morning our time.

I went up on my computer and I found out that Israel was just about breakdown exam at charity that you could contribute to that and nodded to help rebuild Israel sure you have absolutely there. There certainly is to give you two to websites that will be helpful to you. Okay okay out. One is vision for Israel.com patient far Israel.com and that's a Joseph storehouse okay that's Joseph storehouse yet that's that's their basin Israel is called Joseph storehouse in the. The website is vision for Israel and they help with all kinds of humanitarian needs within the lender Jewish believers in the been there for decades.

The other is my friend Scott volt you can look at both websites and see what seems to fit better together for Israel.org for Israel.orc and certainly donations now make a great difference of consist puts lots lots of people under extreme pressure puts the government under pressure. This is a great way for believers to say hey were standing with you what I hope you have a plan of how you going to kill it at anything you know is that if if he has if he has. I haven't read it specifically.

I followed more just that what's what's happening with the damaging fact that limit that we just take a look at the last email that I got from vision for Israel.

Actually, and let me see if I can find that here yeah public security minister Guillot air Don, thank foreign firefighters who were to extinguish the fire's blazed across the country last week. Thank you. He said to all foreign firefighters who helped battle the blaze of is there anything about the specific plans not. I don't see. I imagine they have plans formulated in Israel's very resilient and the natural preserves and trees and forests are all very important for for the. The land in many ways, but I don't know anything specific habitat for humanity quick like work together with like maybe those people in some of the organization around the well have to keep electing my accident. Habitat for Humanity is associated with print from Pres. Jimmy Carter.

Yes, I know that and he is absolutely not a friend of Israel saw the light of the rightness, yet all so sorry to hear that you know he's he's referred to Israel for years as an apartheid state and and is so strongly pro-Palestinian that it is absolutely biased anti-Israel sin with a man who knows with dignity, but don't really think about that. As far as giving either these organizations are perfect to give to and that just quote I have now from the prime minister in the place of every tree that was black and another 10 green trees will bloom that is what our predecessors did.

Since the establishment of the Zionist enterprise and that is what we will do as well plant build and deepen our roots of that either those ministries I mentioned will be great to give to an end. They will know where to disburse the funds and how to help. So thank you for your interest, your concern, Gail 866-34-TRUTH of let's go to when they in Brockton, Massachusetts.

Welcome to the line of fire.

Dr. Brown tell allowing common sure is that if you can speak up a little. That would be great out there.

Yeah, that's better. Well, I strictly your quack so I'm going to make her comment and a question form and what prompted me to call call you what I I heard a climate earlier show about regarding my political statement made regarding it feels right for Thomas and in its has always stood against the existence of the Jewish state. It was, not looking for two state solution.

It wants the Jews driven out of Israel and that entire land to be inhabited by a Palestinian Muslims that does not want a Jewish presence there at all. In its charter and its philosophy up to this moment. It is never recognized the Jewish state. It does not want a single Jew living there.

It is devoted to driving the Jewish people out or exterminated. Jews who live there. So that is entirely Palestinian/Muslim. I will my why credit are no pro that we don't we don't get better, why would be considered when we consider murderers and terrorists, what, why would we even consider them.

We recognize them as a terrorist group. If you talk about the needs of reaching these people with the gospel. Of course then there people to try to do nothing and risk their lives. If you come at the needs of the everyday posting of course we care about them were pro-Israel because God is despite his real sins and shortcomings. The God who scatter the Jewish people around the world is the God who regather them. Satan is the one who was to wipe out and destroy the Jewish people.

God is the one who is protected us and regather us even in our sins in our failings so we stand with Israel. We stand with God. We stand against the devil, but because we are followers of Jesus we have love and concern for all and we care about the Palestinians who have been so hurt by their leadership, which is been either radically Islamic or corrupt or both, and we want a good solution from the best solution is that they fully recognize the Jewish state of Israel and put down their weapons and then the live side-by-side peacefully and no prosper. That's the best solution of the other solutions that are put forward will ultimately either bring the demise of Israel or Palestinians or both. Right now, within Israel there almost 2 men released one and 1/2 million Palestinian Arabs living there and there they're doing great are thriving.

They have much more freedom than the Palestinians do other colostrum. The Palestinian Authority why this electrical Palestinian terrorist with other weapons.

The peace and prosperity. Palestinian people my bottom line today don't stand with Israel because of Israel's faithfulness because of the faithfulness Jewish tradition doesn't have more authority than the Jewish Scriptures stage for the line of fire with your host activist and author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown your voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution Michael Brown is the director of the coalition of conscience and president of fire school of ministry get into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH index 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown welcome welcome to the line of fire, 8663 freight 788 force number to call on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday got a lot of ground to cover a lot of things I want to talk to about some news of interest in the last hour. Color happened to reference former Pres. Jimmy Carter and I mentioned how much he is not been a friend of Israel and there is an op-ed piece, New York Times, November 28 and here Jimmy Carter writes we do not yet know the policy of the next administration for Israel and Palestine but we do know the policy of this administration is been present Obama's aim to support a negotiated end to the conflict based on two states living side-by-side in peace. That prospect is now in grave doubt with all respect, former president, Mr. Pres., the reason it's in grave doubt is because of the Palestinian leadership and because of Hamas is not a grave doubt because of the heart of the people of Israel leadership of Israel to ultimately live in peace convince the United States can still shape the future, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict before changing presidents, but time is very short socket happen. It is not going to happen.

Simple but vital step. This administration must take before his term expires in January 20 is to grant American diplomatic recognition to the state of Palestine as 137 countries have already done to help achieve full unite nations membership at Pres. Carter for Pres. Carter has access to sources of information massively more than either and understand certain issues from an insider's perspective master more than I do all that being said I categorically reject this idea and it is completely impractical because the Palestinians right now. Without this would mean not negotiate anything with Israel.

This would mean okay if it is a state what about the hundreds of thousands of Jews who live in biblical Judeo Samaria so-called West Bank what what about them. Okay what what about what about the fact that the Palestinians are still going to have demands and not accept this and accept that you will without Israel making out all types of impossible concessions and in the want to go back to 1967 borders which are indefensible, which is real mistaken present Obama said to say push for those is not can happen. United States is, there would be a fatal mistake. I'm quite short socket happen.

And frankly frankly I'm I'm surprised I'm surprised that there is there is even an effort to push for this and say hey present Obama administration recognized state of Palestine. We still have time and and give full recognition United Nations boy this is. Anyway, he goes on about 600,000 Israeli settlers in Palestine enjoy the benefits of Israeli citizenship laws. This process is hastening a one state reality that could destroy Israeli democracy will result in intensifying international condemnation of Israel.

In other words, to use the old German term. You provide free of Jews purified of Jesus, you, you must you must understand that if the Palestinians have their way.

There will be no Jews living in their midst. This is an absolute outrage and the idea that Israel has over million 1/2 Palestinian Arabs living in its midst as citizens of the Palestinians will have a Jew living in their midst. In it that's that's catastrophic. If it points that direction. What horror God forgive me. Carter is misguided. Just I hear 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. I Brown delighted to be with you if you had any Jewish related question of any kind, any Jewish related question of any kind. Hebrew related relating to Jewish beliefs or practices linked Israel and the middle east relating to even Islam will gladly take your questions 866-34-TRUTH 7884. All wanted mentioned some news of interest as well. One touch a bit more about Jewish tradition and then about the Jewish going to be a light to the nations, and I will get to that shortly.

But first caller wanted to know about Revelation chapter 2 verse nine in chapter 3 verse nine were Jesus tells the congregations in in in the congregation in the thigh attire and the congregation in Philadelphia, excuse me, the accommodation in Philadelphia in the third chapter of Revelation and in the second chapter of Revelation.

Verse nine the same verse occurs were God says here at the church in Smyrna mistaken since Our Ter. in Smyrna Philadelphia. I will make those who call themselves Jews were not really a synagogue of Satan made them come and bow down at your feet. Revelation 2939 Jesus speaking this to churches experiencing persecution say I know the slander against you by those caucuses usually are not there synagogue of Satan. So does he say that that all Jews who don't believe in Jesus are part of the synagogue of Satan, is he saying that people claim to be Jews and not really Jews.

First thing you will be speaking about people claim to be Jews and not different groups. In those days just like today felt like the Hebrew Israelites's Glaxo claim to be Jews and are not their people back then claim to be Jews when an author of the synagogue of Satan. And he's calling them out.

The other possibility is those Jews who were actively fighting against the Messiah, even though they were Jews by blood, they were not living as Jews in spirit. Hence the consuls use but they're not just like the prophets of God's. It is really not my people, even though they were his people and he knows it always gonna be like people relationally. Right now you're not my people and Paul makes very clear in the New Testament that there is much advantage in every way. Being a Jew because the oracles of God are committed to the Jewish people, and throughout the New Testament, the term Jew Jews occurs over and over. Dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens times for physical blood descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. So here it's either talking about people who are not physical descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob so they claim to be Jews with a warrant or speaking to people who really were Jews but were not living as Jews should live. Following the God of Israel recognizing Messiah. Hence, they were a synagogue of Satan and by the way, the same with professing Christians they may go to some denominational church, but if they're not really Christians there a church of Satan. In that respect their gathering is illegitimate, but to say, as some do, that this means that the Jewish people Israel � Jews is a monstrous misapplication of the text. Monstrous misinterpretation of Scripture and horrifically ugly in its implications and applications 866-348-7884 okay what about Jewish people and are called to be a light to the nations. If you talk a religious Jew. This religious Jew bio large is not thinking about how can I tell my Gentile neighbor about the God of Israel where can I go to a nation, the center heard about the God of Israel until that nation of God of Israel, rather than norm of the religious Jew is how can I please God.

As a Jew. How can I follow his commandments as a Jew. How can I pray daily and study daily and conduct my life daily in a way that brings redemption to the world and honors the God of Israel fulfills my calling as a Jew, and by doing that, then I will make the God of Israel, known in doing that. Ovulate to the nations, but their primary focus is not on the nations. It's not like the Jewish communities are having world missions conferences and okay, who can be sent to it.

We've got this tribal group. It's never heard of the God of Israel who will go there, though there there there was culture roof with other Jews try to bring Jewish people in a nontraditional to Jewish tradition, or they would say back to Jewish tradition, but there there. I think having a light to the nations the way Christians are. And yet that's clearly part of the calling to get traditional Jew would say we are lights of the nations by praying by studying by keeping God's commandments that so we are a light to the nations, and others would say won't know it's about proclaiming who God is, to the nation so according to Schuster's YouTube channel is the ask project. He asks Israelis questions that people submit and one of them is if Jews are a light to the nations, where is that light what's inserted Jews being a light to the nations, we can point to Christian missionaries around the world sharing the gospel feeding the poor caring for the sick and taking a knowledge of God to the ends of the earth. Christians are known for doing that for Christians in overdoing that the Jewish people, as well as many Jews take exception to that. But what sensitive Jews delights the nation's JJ. Let's start with clip number 13 against Cory go Schuster asking Israelis.

These questions being a light unto the nations means that Jews have responsibility to bring to express godliness about which meaning through behavior models.

I have fixed my retreat of the people I relate to other people which have filaments on slowness in many ways it has the Weston well values and cultures of those ideas became richly punished Judaism via so things like turning the other heterogeneity but being kinder neighbor be doing to others as you with us now and into anything during because of a higher power, not because you must not necessarily because you're a nice person because in some purpose to on so that's one Jewish response, the Jewish ethics have not gone around the world.

How have they gone around the world. We see with the gospel. Christian faith of his would say to the Muslim faith as well of this would dispute that there was so and it hasn't been primarily through Judaism, but has been through the Jewish Messiah has been through the faith of Jewish apostles carrying out the faith of Moses and the prophets. Let's interesting, but that's that's at least a respectable response. I appreciate that. Let's listen to the clip clip number 14 again cordial Schuster's YouTube channel. The ask project.

Let's listen when I can, documents, whatever. I don't think much of the state of Israel and the West is portrayed as necessary thinkers into Judaism.

Unfortunately, with the pictures being ripped into Judaism. Even the most ridiculous representative of what I think that the value is Judaism. I think it is this country is a huge amount people of Jewish origin of countries with huge amounts throughout our lives think some of that comes from the Judaism behind for biology is because of discoveries they the desire to help others the desire to understand what you come to grips right so again that's one perspective and reflects some degree of Jewish faith, but not necessarily an Orthodox face one more faith season one more clip on play before the break. Clip number 15. Now, in this case a Cory go Schuster is speaking to a man who was dressed as an Orthodox Jew, so presumably living as an Orthodox Jew. Let's see if his perspective is the same clip number 15 demonstrate that errors raise up to visit the probably redundant proper religious behavior or being someone people can strive for week another way, you necessarily want everyone Jewish are all all of the people should have proper personal human behavior.so he saying. The goal is not that everyone in the world follows traditional Jewish behavior, but rather that everyone in the world recognizes ethical behavior for all people, so that you should be a model of loving one's neighbor as oneself.

Jews should be a model of practicing justice know it's interesting that within the land of Israel.

The ultra-Orthodox Jews are widely despised by the more secular population. Now is it because the men don't fight in the military by large is it because they feel the secular Israelis feel that that they are just loafers who surround study all day and and are supported by state funds is because they are convicted by the lifestyle that secular Israelis are are are unconsciously convicted by the fact that traditional Jews are living as traditional Jews is the fact that they feel traditional Judaism is trying to impose its values on the whole culture make the whole culture live as if it was religious was not those questions I can be asked. The answers might be next.

Point of fact cannot say living as a function is a light to the world through the centuries for cleansing and it's the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown into the line of fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael. If you look at the history, like most of the most idea kindness people in general, providing providing testing, mercy or mercy and kindness generally cover now that is the perspective of an Orthodox Jewish man. He was being asked by Cory go Schuster on his asked project on YouTube about Jews being a light to the nation so his perspective on his perspective as an Orthodox Jew, is that Jews have been a light to the nations in that most acts of kindness, mercy that are done is done by Jews assessment with this. It will really talk about what was he think that way, but that's obvious perspective that Jews as a people have been better than Gentiles as a people and they let let history be the judge. Like the will be judge the God be the judge that have the Jewish people as a people made the God of Israel, known to the nations I say no, certainly not in a positive way or in a way that will bring Gentiles into relationship with him, but that has happened to the Jewish Messiah that has happened of the that the calling of the Jewish people, be a light to the nations has been fulfilled to the Jewish Messiah, the ones that first made that message known were Jews themselves write one more clip again speaking to an Orthodox Jew. If Jews are light to the nations, where is that like that.

Number 17. Most of us to actually writes his ideas come from dysfunctional strong to prevail.

No Darwinist) is finally finished and that's why he wanted to build their weeks known on the back of the week wrong with you. Let let's just say that that would be a gross oversimplification of Adolf Hitler's issues with the Jews. He lifted the Jews as evil parasites destructive in society. In many ways and and he also fully knew that the Christian ethic was to help the needy and the week there's one reason he he hated true Christianity, and for him.

Jesus was not strong in that regard needed a strong Christianity which we had nothing to do with Christianity whatsoever. So again I'm I'm happy to say who has made the God of Israel, known to the nations has been Jesus, the Jewish Messiah and his followers has been traditional Jews. With all respect to the devotion of traditional Jews.

My friend Rabbi Shirley spoke at our school of ministry fire school of ministry some years back as to tell you what you command and you can speak on whatever subject you want I will rebut you want to a debate but would you Q&A with the students. Afterwards, he said I want to tell your students why they should proselytize Jews why they shouldn't tell Jews about Jesus said to have added math go forth, so he gave his whole presentation and afterwards was Q&A from students and one of him, but one of the students asked him a pointed question asked if you asked him some great questions and I know he really enjoyed the questions but one was a student from Ghana. I believe and either Ghana or Comer Cameroon Africa and he said Rabbi it was not a Jewish rabbi who brought the knowledge of God to my nation, we were worshiping idols.

We were lost in our sins.

We were living in spiritual darkness. It was Christian missionaries came with the message. Yes, that's ultimately how you going to be a light through a guess by your conduct.

But let's face it, if you're in a jungle in India or tribal region of Africa. You don't even know what a Jew is, let alone know how traditional Jewish community is living in certain part of Israel or Brooklyn fact if if you live in Montana you live in South Dakota even Vancouver Canada honey to specific places in North America you might have no idea how traditional Jews live in and if they're conducting themselves ethically in their own community somewhere probably fairly ingrown and to the extent that there they are faithful to their commandments keep themselves separate from some of the things in the nations of the world can't face the facts trip going to be primarily touched by them yet with their prayer and study will touch you always say that about anybody or any group right it is by proclaiming that this is this is in the Psalms over and over proclaim his name within nations know who is Your hands all you peoples helicopter has the God of Israel because the people of Israel make him known.

In that sense it is a missionary faith and that's why Jesus addressed religious Jews in his day. Some of the leaders and talked about their seal to make converts and it is said you you you make twice as bad as yourself to fall child of hell, if you're a hypocrite. Now you win them over.

There is worse than you. This is Jesus.

This is Yeshua talking in other words there. There was some level of missionary activity among at least some of the Jewish groups in Jesus day that over the centuries it's going exact opposite way and through most of Jewish history. That's been the case and Jews is as more and more Jews assimilated became secular religious Jews did was was sought ways to bring Jews back to the traditions they departed from her Jews into those traditions would never known them before, so there was Jewish outreach to Jews and there there are some very small groups of Jews who would be devoted to talking to Gentiles about the God of Israel and being court missionaries in that sense but it is an absolute spec of the overall Jewish population is not something that is been customary through Jewish history. Just wanted to make that known clearly to our right. If you go to asked Dr. Brown.org good aspect rather click on the digital library and you'll find how many 12345 new videos up the attack at Ohio State.

I do that I just go to asked Dr. Brown.org you see the banner with the special offer RightFax document Jewish traditions and interesting Jewish news will take more calls as well. It's the line of fire with your host activist, author, international speaker and theologian Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution get into the line of fire now by calling 86643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown on the phone generally, don't even love the luck of the line of fire on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday.

Once I start here Paul will be saying that this will sit here I could've sat there for a half-hour and just enjoyed his anointed singing welcome welcome to life are so glad you could join us today on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday broadcast.

If you have any Jewish related question of any kind, any Jewish related question of any kind, whether it's a Hebrew question whether it is a question I'm to do with Jewish people.

In Judaism the middle east by all means give us a call eight 663-3784. You may differ with me on certain things. Give us a call.

I just was sent a note from staff member here and this person is reaching out say hey I came across the sermon pastor, so-and-so, and he stated, by the way you should flee.

This wolf in sheep's clothing Dr. Brett speaker me. Dr. Brown is often shared social media was a learned man is completely misguided and error regarding the powers of the human will and the necessity following the Lord, America's grace is a modern-day Judy has been a part of St. Paul Markham and avoided if this guy wasn't so serious about it I would.

I would even notice it at pity.

The guy that of course is hundred percent royalties attack you before, so wherever he got the idea that I said you have to follow the law of Moses would be saved in the very God's grace either. He believed misinformation ally someone else told Reese completely misunderstood what I've taught, believed all my life and the Lord.

So in in any case, we may actually reach out to him and see if he's sincere is a sincere God and of course will correct this error and apologize for follow. I could care less about a person alive no idea who he isn't and anything beyond that hold nothing against him in that regard, but, but if thought if in fact if in fact let's see part of the Lutheran Church is to see was him. I cannot mention his name because I don't want to write. So how in the world to get so misinformed about me. I have the slightest idea. But anyway if he sincere Hill he'll fix it and be glad to hear that I'm a brother in the Lord if he is insincere. He'll go on slandering to his own heart that anyone touch us just thought that was worth mentioning on thoroughly Jewish Thursday so I get attacked on the one side saying that I preach extreme grace because I do not say that all followers of Jesus required to obey the law of Moses and be saved. And then on the other hand I get called to legalize their in the Judaizers because I say that grace changes are lies in grace produces holiness, and that appreciating her Jewish roots is healthy, so be it. That's that's fine. If not for the fact that it attains the Lord if not for the fact that it's a brings division it would it would be utterly immaterial to be put on a personal level.

Of course it is all right of make this announcement momentarily, but what you think I was doing leading right up to the radio broadcast splitting.

I was doing over and over and over and repeating a prayer over and over and over and over.

I was signing hundreds of copies of breaking the stronghold of food they go to Amazon right now in order.

It's a great preorder price-to-book dance and I wrote that will really change your life if you read it put things into practice of it, it'll be released to the general public first week of January but but we we have copies of the book now for folks that preorder you still do it last day. I think that aspect around the Lord. They preordered for sign number topics as how to collect the cytosol on Siam Mexican assignment and praying over these books.

The God really use them. Change your life.

You file the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get another minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown. Thanks so much for joining us on the line of fire on this thoroughly is there is 866-34-TRUTH before I go to the phones. Let me just give you an insight on how traditional Jew looks at Jewish tradition if if we were talking about.

Which came first quote Judaism or quote Christianity and put those" for reason you understand the normal understanding would be that normal understanding would be that Judaism comes first and out of Judaism comes Christianity and others choose to that. But the problem with that is the idea that Judaism as we know it today was the Judaism that was practiced by Moses course was in call Judaism or by Isaiah or by Ezra or by contemporaries of Jesus and that Christianity that is practice around the world that would be the same as the faith that was practiced by Peter and Paul. So it is better to say that out of the Hebrew Scriptures different Jewish expressions arose, one of which became known as traditional Judaism or rabbinic Judaism or Orthodox Judaism and another of which became known as Christianity. Even though it as it at its root is a Jewish group, a Jewish sect just like these other groups were Jewish sects like the Pharisees and Sadducees or Essenes, and that this Jewish sect called the way. Initially, among other things, felt a calling to declare to the whole world that the Messiah had come, and that the Messiah was for the whole world and a Jew and Gentile could come together is once with predominantly became a Gentile faith initially was a Jewish expression. So if you want to say to use terms like today message using rabbinic Jews were side-by-side as their faiths were developing more full expression. That being said, I recognize that some of the traditions that became part of traditional Judaism go back to the times before Jesus between traditional Jew.

They are all part of an unbroken chain of tradition that goes back to Moses you say but what about the telephone game where will you pass something on till the person next to tells the person next to them and on and on and on and on and by the time you done it's unintelligible will, of course, some would say yeah that is a parallel to his hapless Jewish tradition. Tradition juice to know I learned from my father. He learned from his father.

He learned from his father and in much of his been written down along the way you say yeah but say the Talmud that comes after the New Testament and show how to roof extended law code that comes 1500 years 1400 years after the New Testament tradition as you would say that's not an issue because it's all part of that chain which continues to be passed on and develops in every generation. So a Jewish view of tradition is kind of unique and that's why if you're talking to traditional Jewish person about Jesus, their attitude is well. We have the original faith we have the original understanding going back to Moses, even at this vantage point, almost 3500 years later and that's one of the things we have to do civil can we agree on the Scriptures. Can we agree that the Hebrew Bible that the tomahawk we Christians call the Old Testament. That's because we can.

We we agree on that. Yes okay let's look at that and see what it tells us about God what it tells us about the Messiah and start their if you can't, 866-348-7884 of us go to congee in Cordova, Alaska. Welcome to light a fire there are our yes I can do.

My question is about the clean and unclean food log, Christian about 10 years through basically my own reading of Scripture and Holy Spirit homeschooling of authority in my study throughout the year that come to recognize some of the cortical Jewish practice that I got embraced before Cmdr. proper years now, and I heard and learned a lot about that that be the faith. An ethical and authentically unclean food law that a great argument that actually the very night recommended during the festival and keeping good laws. I had to miraculous healing of physical healing in my neck and back chronic injury, and though it didn't like. I heard you say to someone recently about maybe the guy was only for the time you know. And history of what what your not sure yet. Tell me what you felt was a strong argument that you, as New Testament scholar Jesus not under the Sinai covenant that you should keep the dietary laws of strong, head right now but you are studying but first I got God not changing noted Scriptures that our youth advocate know you dying pagan and other food really don't think strong enough I guess what, what about all the loss of your following items hundreds and hundreds of commandments you are your following a choice few. So what about what about all the laws about ritual purification.

What about the laws say about stoning adulterers, or restoring a disobedient rebellious child you know laws like that laws about if you have no on the roof of your house after bill the parapets of some of this in falloff because there were flat in a flat roofed houses. People do stuff on the top of the house of is this not the case in Alaska. I mean their scores and scores and scores and scores of laws that you don't live by. If if God is unchanging and that's the issue, then why not keep all those laws are more obvious than other know that Christ example not only people everything, although I don't really know God hasn't change though. Why why you saying that some laws are permanent.

Some others that you need to have some type of principle for that. Otherwise you just kind of picking and choosing question after working with Spotswood applicable New Testament flatly and plainly categorically does not apply dietary laws to Gentile believers flatly and plainly it was where is it that it's what will first its never give in other words, there's never a letter in the New Testament where anyone is ever told to do this whereas were told to love our neighbor were told that husbands and wives how we should live where we are told how we should conduct yourselves in business were told about the honor father and mother were totally know a lot of the laws are reinforced in the New Testament right and remember for a lot of the believers is the first exposure to getting a letter from Paul or this or that so nowhere ever is there a command to keep the dots� First I got another thought. I'm just getting started on this can start writing is that none of the years a warning not to let anyone pressure. There's no New Testament commandment for you to keep the Sabbath that I'm 100% sure on that for you as a Gentile believer you're free to do it that there is no New Testament commandment for in Colossians 2 warns against anyone pressuring you to do it. Romans 14 plainly says one person believes needing everything that we personally some vegetables and he goes on, and then he says this I know as one in the Lord Jesus, that nothing in itself, no food in itself is unclean. I know and convince the Lord Jesus. There is nothing unclean itself in the context of food so something to the one who considers it unclean. Aces don't judge. Either way, don't judge the person is liberty did everything the judge the person says no. I can eat certain foods. That's Romans 14 explicit first Corinthians 8 also explicit. The same principle.

Jesus gives us the key to this in Matthew 15 and Mark seven that nothing that we eat the files us doesn't mean he's commanding juicy pork say nothing that you eat the files because it goes in the mouth and passes how your body, whereas I can set your heart file so if you wait Pigott does not defile you spiritually lessen your conscience. You think you can't, and therefore the eating I don't I don't need any of these things. Either way, but but unless you felt in your heart that you are doing something wrong. So Romans 14 is explicit first Corinthian's eight is explicit and and when Paul is writing to Timothy and mentioned some of the some of the issues that that are coming up as well. He says in first Timothy 44 every for every creation of God is good for some of people requiring abstinence foods that God created he received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creation of God is good and no food is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving for a sanctified by government greater work in an older covenant know they were there other good creatures. They think that their purpose think that now they picking up the bottom of the ocean of it with a dead but they look at so that we can sit there with incidences Genesis 9 God explicitly says everything that means is percent incidences in your plenty people is beneath this is obviously been to the arguments I just want to tell you conventionally.

There is no New Testament may command the size or loss of 77. You're free to talk into bondage for plan by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown of your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown estate okay country it would have more time to talk were reloaded with calls. I will try to get to some other calls as well, but my book 60 questions Christians ask about Jewish beliefs and practices. 60 questions Christians as quickly as this practice is worth reading.

Very relevant also point out after the flood. Genesis 9 God says every living creature that moves to you. It is for food. Okay (the loss law okay every living thing: a sister who Kyla Sam EL every moving thing. Everything creeps every living thing moving thing I've given to you for food along with all the herbs, all the greens, etc. so it's called food. All the food was called food.

Even the unclean animals their local food. Okay so were acceptable for sacrifice some or not, but there's no New Testament acts 15 also makes explicit certain things in the food and will strangle them both with blood delete that lets you have table fellowship agenda with juice etc. but no they there was a perfect opportunity for the apostles to say here's whatever has to live by and they didn't see but they also several Moses read the city will get the restaurant there several different ways to understand what's being said there, none of which decisively say about the here Moses in the synagogue, although to keep the rest of all his even then what you keep with with don't you keep. So what you keep congee as if it's reiterated elsewhere in the Bible for all people, or the tour explicitly says his role people or is repeated New Testament and that's how you know I appreciate your sincerity, 866342 of let's go to Michelle in Dallas. Welcome to the line of fire about what Shirley wasn't called baptism. It was ritual immersion and if if you do a tour of Israel, Michelle, you will certainly see if you go to the outskirts of where the temple would have been in ancient Jerusalem. You'll see these mixes. You'll see these pools and generative fool out of me like a swimming pool.

We walked down the steps on one side walk out of the other and they're all over the place and this is where Jesus would go through ritual immersion so you haven't Michelle going back to the priests they were required to immerse in certain ways for cleanliness and for the people of Israel as a whole but say that you actually touched a dead body they had to stay outside the camp and you had to be washed with certain ritual water or or if you said there was a certain emission of certain unclean omission from your body. Then you have to wash yourself to the principle of ritual purification and then on a larger level, it became tied in with the concept of spiritual purification and repentance, so there were different Jewish groups that practice what we called baptism.

Now immersion and in point of fact, the, the people would be repenting of sensor be making a fresh commitment to God will be joining a particular Jewish group and ritual immersion would have its role or once a week or some every day with richly immerse traditional Jews will go daily.

To this day for ritual immersion and women will go after their monthly cycle for ritual immersion.
