But before any of that.

I plan to do this on the show yesterday I said a few times I was going to do it and then when the show was over rest and never got to it. Genesis 4910 a well known messianic prophecy and the question is why is it translated in so many different ways. So I read from the King James, the scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come and to him shall the gathering of the people beaten out the end of it, to him shall the gathering of the people be most translations new King James others say to him shall be the obedience of the people were peoples and plural obedience is better than gathering. But what about until Shiloh comes here is the HCS be the scepter will not depart from Judah, or the staff from between his feet, until he whose right it is comes ESV until tribute comes to him. NIV until he to whom it belongs shall come NET until he comes to whom it belongs and LT until the coming of the one to whom it belongs. Complete Jewish Bible until he comes to whom obedience longs new Jewish version scepter shall not depart from Judah, and other loose there from between his feet, so that tribute shall come to him and the homage of peoples be his soul. What what in the world do we make of that. How is it so different. Well, it's that one word that one word she low in Hebrew or Shiloh in English. Watch doesn't mean and they're two different potential spellings for it that the main in the main text and you have a marginal meaning that reflects another possible spelling well.

Some said that it just means until he until Judah comes to Shiloh and so until the ark of the covenant settled in Shiloh and there's some leadership in governing now from Shiloh and that really doesn't make any sense and and it's it's not reflected in these translations is it a proper name that that the scepter's not depart from Judah, and other loose there from between his feet, until Shiloh comes with a yellow Shiloh that's messianic prophecy shall refers to Jesus will what is Shiloh what is it mean some say well what it means is, it has to do with Reston and Shaw laws shall log that it it has to do with rest and it's that the man of rest in peace and could be. It's just an unusual title not reflected elsewhere. What if it was read differently shy low shy meaning tribute low meaning to him.

So the scepter will not depart from Judah, lawgiver from between his feet, until tribute comes to him the obedience of the people shall be his Associates of messianic prophecy in a prophecy of leadership in Judah somebody means or the one comes to whom tribute belongs. That's instead of taking Shiloh is a proper name. We take it as two words shy low tribute to him the one to whom tribute belongs and that's how many translators understand it to reading the same Hebrew text, but understood differently bassoonist to words rather than one that makes sense to me.

One comes to whom the law will be right back for the Expo 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 Brown will come back to the modifier you got questions and answers.

Starting in New Brunswick, Canada.

Reese welcome to light a fire, either. Well, thank you so my question is about. Put certain words in the Bible sometimes when I read. I know that they note that both the meaning for the Hebrew word is uncertain. Further meaning for the Greek word is uncertain. I'm just wondering. First of all why is that the case in second.

How did the translator come up with the word if that word if anything, uncertain. Yes. Alright, so it is a fact that there are words in the Hebrew Scriptures, even more so in the Greek New Testament as well that are difficult to understand or translate especially the ones that occur only one time in the technical name for that Reese is happy actually gone on words that are once said, and therefore you only have one time. How do you know what it means and sometimes we just have a word to her three times, but the meaning is disputed. So there are several different ways that we do our best to understand the meaning and for the most part we can have.

We can have good confidence in terms of in terms of the overall meaning and there's never a verse of life-and-death application of verse where if we don't understand the meaning of it.

We can't worship God right your servant where where we have ambiguity, but there are quite a few words that are difficult to translate the whole book of Job for commentary putting out on it and was very challenging a Joe probably has more difficult words than in the book in the Bible. Okay, so we we hear so we work it out several different ways.

If it's let's let's focus on the Heber okay. One thing we do is we see does it have cognate words and other Semitic languages that with the Semitic languages have in common is a root system and a common vocabulary so right. It can vary from Semitic language to Semitic language. So it's the same route can have one meeting in Hebrew, and a little different meaning in Arabic and a little different meaning in Babylonian a little different meaning in Phoenician, but some will look at the cognate evidence first. This is something I specialized in in in my doctoral work at that NYU really looking at cognate evidence for the meaning of words and things like that so sometimes it's okay, we only have this word once in Hebrew, but it appears to be the same route that we have here in Arabic and Acadian and there it means this and hear that meaning would seem to make good sense.

So that's one way that we look at we look at the cognate evidence. Secondly there and look at it is, we look at the ancient translations because when the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek and the Septuagint they had to wrestle with this when it was translated and paraphrased into Aramaic and was called the targums they had a wrestle with it when I was translated into Syriac and was called up Ashita or translated into Latin.

What's called the Vulgate, all these different translators had to wrestle with the meaning so we look to see how they translated it and then we see okay so maybe based on that life we can see what the word means. In other words they understood to mean. Thus, in such let's go back and revisit it if if it now lines up with the cognate evidence you can say, even though we only have it once here we have a pretty good idea of the meaning we see how it's used in other related Semitic languages and we also see how the ancient translators translated F course the first and foremost thing which is taken for granted is yours.

Look at the context the immediate context for insight from it and and then sometimes you may not have that exact word but you have other words that are closely related to etymologically they come from the same route the same background you say okay so that that of scarf. I so that's that's how we know that's that's how we determine, but again the sum translators would just want you to know he were not sure and write off example that that was called the Tanakh version.

The new Jewish publication Society version they'll say meaning of Hebrew uncertain. More than most of the translations, the, the RSV, the revised standard version was prone to lean on the Septuagint, the Greek translation much more than many other translations and and I'll think that was the right move, and sometimes in the it's only indicated in the footnotes. But for your average reader.

The Bible and for me as a reader of the English Bible. I feel confident when I'm reading I I feel confident that this is God's word in English for me in here and there there versus we need to study more, to determine exactly what they mean and in rare cases when 100% sure none of those are essential for faith. Very helpful. I thought all right thank you's are glad to help. 8663 freight 78840 we go to Washington DC. Cynthia, thanks for calling the line of fire down like I got very double for Mary Otho different healthcare now I don't black out. I think we have more in common because of great debate that very only one I know now what what you're sure Cynthia is Jesus the Lord of your life and you believe that salvation comes only through him.

Alright, so that would be the obvious question. If you join together with the Jewish person who does not believe in Jesus. So now your master your submitting to your your master Jesus Yeshua as Lord and your husband doesn't believe in him and you're married to someone that you believe leads the Lord and is lost without him. So in the thing that's most important to you fundamentally and foundational. He you have differences of Paul writes in second Corinthians 6 universe 14. Don't be on equally yoked together with unbelievers, so certainly a marriage is the deepest yoking. We can have if the person is not a believer.

Now we have an unequal yoking and ultimately there's going to be a conflict in the marriage because it's difficult for the two to be one. You cannot both submit together to the Lord, and if you say will exhume a belief in God. He just doesn't believe in Jesus again. That's the fundamental conflict that's going to be the fundamental issue and you want some of that you can practice your faith together with you want someone safe you're raising children that you could raise them to know the Lord and believe the same way.

So if you you might meet a Jewish got it's a great guy many ways and respectful and believes in God and and wants to do good is a caring person, but ultimately you will not have spiritual harmony. Ultimately, that the the deepest part of your being in relationship to God is something that he won't be able to relate to and to be stark about it. Whether the person was churchgoing, but was really a believer or a Muslim or a Jew and atheist is spiritually speaking. It's light with darkness, even if the person is a fine person. Many of the way, spiritually speaking, is trying to draw and light together with darkness while encouraging Cynthia to meditate on.

Second Corinthians chapter 6, beginning in verse 14 to the end of the chapter 2nd Corinthians 6 verse 14 to the end of the chapter meditate on that about being unequally yoked with unbelievers and ask yourself how that would work. Then how you could make a lifelong covenant to be with someone that does not share your most intimate faith and does not share your view of spiritual authority in terms of the Lord be in the Lord that ultimately you could not give yourself to the things that are most important to you with his participation euros of you have that serious divide and then the more time goes on, the more you be praying for him to come to the Lord and burdened, because he doesn't all right 866-3487 84. May God give you grace Cynthia appreciate you calling in the back of the court announcement from enlisting the surround Virginia PlayStation wave FM file line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the minor fire now by calling 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown question you been wanting to ask me struggling with biblically theologically controversy in your church may be personal Bible reading your wondering about something for your how to do with moral and cultural issues you may call 8663 freight 784 want to do some email questions. First, adjacent always wanted but if you know of anyone in Austin assume Austin Texas is making disciples with my church about prison ministry hate reading this on the air to say we appreciate you sending us questions.

Can we recommend local church and or what about this that were unable to respond to specific questions, recommending churches or ministries, and of folks want to ask is, what about this church were about to go here to go there. Those are things you have to work out and I'm I'm even reluctant to just way and on with my view of this ministry. That ministry is if I'm God's policeman. You just need my stamp.

I know you respect my viewpoint and I hope that I'm worthy of your respect and giving it to give these things carefully, but it's it's just a place to weigh on every local church every ministry every every booking etc. so if it's in that's major like its national attention.

It then we are much more much more ready to weigh in second part of the question of what you're thinking.

On the last Reformation less Reformation.com us Reformation video on the one hand I don't want to refer to anything is the last because we don't know how much time we have known him, say, the last revival. The last outpouring the last. This the last that we don't know how much time we have left Jesus could come in 10 years, become 100 years. Trust me when I got saved. The idea of Jesus coming up hundred 45 years from them would've seemed pretty outlandish to me but frankly the idea of him coming 45 years with us and outlandish. I got saved for 45 years ago. So I will install anything. The last this or the last that, but is there something God doing fresh around the world with outpouring of the Spirit and signs and wonders and massive numbers of people come to faith. Yes absolute, and is it often a movement that needs maturing and growth as well. Yes, absolutely.

Okay. So yes, I believe God's doing, so that just would not stop.

Trying to be in a radio station obviously so we are here to serve you minister to them when I can miss a beat when I continue to do it. Were going to continue to do it on the radio on Internet many many different ways. All right, go back to the phone shortly, but a quick question. This is from Philip what was the original Arabic pronoun for the word God before was replaced with the proper amount of the Babylonian moon idol Allah so many scholars believe that all law law elicits contracted that that is not the God in Arabic but rather the name of the moon God and that that's where it came from that that this was the God that Mohammed believed was the supreme God of the superior guards to get rid of your other gods and just follow this God all law who was the moon God Arabic apologist would say this Arabic apologist said that there it's that it okayed the word. The Arabic portrait of traffic. The simple is a law law law right so that's the Arabic pronoun forgotten. You still have the adjuster met a God in Arabic law and in contract law. This is the normal case and in law who sold a Muslim apologist would say this, we say the goddess Al is a and a law is a law that suit say it and said enough over period of time as LaHood and LaHood along becomes a law who and that's how you have the God, the God of the say no that's the name of the, the moon God.

But in any case law is God in Arabic Tuesday in law who the gob would be out of his LA law who the God right so is that how we get a law allowing or is that the name of the moon God. That's the debate, but for sure for sure that we use a God like a God in our because a law law all right. Pretty simple. No will know no dispute or argument over that.

The Lord a lot of fire.org it's the light a 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 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you for joining us today on the line of fire. 784 you've got questions, we've got answers. Glad to take your calls in a wide range of subjects today would arousal George or Arthur.

Welcome to the line of fire. Very well, thank you sir?

I'm the father of job debate in Atlanta and also the grade yet. It was great to meet you last week, and he's an amazing man absolutely limits. Here's my question.

I think that page 1638 of a book 2 on theological objection.

Basically into similar to the 2482 2525 and 18 that that steno that David sacrifice the Lord. There was no temple risking 18 Elijah sacrifice stuck right in.

There was no temple and those records were accepted in the debate you talk to how Daniel was began at the was no temple you think even though it was not written that then again he knew that the that he that that you could have done a blood sacrifice for congressperson. No, I don't believe it, but let's first thing first Kings 18 with Elijah. He is in northern Israel where they are either worshipers and neither of the temples. There is acceptable to God. They were idolatrous temples.

So he is he is repairing a broken altar there and calling the people to to turn to Yahweh in in repentance. David's act was different because there was a tabernacle standing then right and that's the place where the sacrifices were supposed to be offered yet. He offered his because he did some priestly ministry. Even even as King right so the big question is, then why couldn't Daniel have done that in exile because at this point the temple mount had been built in Jerusalem and is now been destroyed by God in judgment and that was God telling the nation you're under my wrath until that temple was rebuilt. They knew that to offer sacrifices to do anything like that with would be forbidden is not to say that other communities in other parts the world didn't do that they may have, but as a God-fearing Jew, he would know he's got no business doing that God has given a clear and definite word that the nation is under judgment that's that's why all he does is plead for mercy and the and the whole goal is to be restored back and if you'll notice in Ezra Nehemiah when they come back and begin to build, rebuild the foundations, walls of the temple as soon as they even start on it. They immediately start offering sacrifices because this was something they knew was important and essential for many reasons.

In God's sight sold yet.

So I have no I would have no thought of Daniel doing that and all he could value was plead for mercy and that of course through him. God gives him a further revelation about the coming one so he can he can believe what God has promised about redemption coming in redemption being made and thereby just like Abraham believe the promise given to him and was justified. So Daniels repentance and faith could be justified as well because of Daniel chapter 9 the 24th 20 similar whatever and and if he had the prophecies of Isaiah if he was familiar with them so but again the key thing is an end will come back to us on the inside of the break Rabbi Freitag pointed to Ezekiel 14 and said look, he refers to Daniel is righteous Noah, Daniel, and Job points as being righteous but actually is probably the worst example he could have given and I'll explain why. On the other side of the break. You've got questions, we've got answers. This is Michael Brown you are listening to the line of fire, and it's the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown.

Thanks for yesterday fire. It is my joy and privilege to be with you answering questions so Arthur in okay I guess I'm speaking Arthur off the air that so Arthur, the other point I want to make was this that Robert Fry tag in the debate pointed to Daniel is righteous man even though he lived in the exile, so didn't have a temple we can offer sacrifices how to be righteous again righteous through repentance, faith and obedience so he did believe the promises of God revealed to him he had no temple in which the sacrifice he turned to God was seeking to live a righteous life but in no way to disable what we dive temple we have prayer when I have a temple we have another means of atonement know he's he's ashamed is broken and is repenting, but why we set the wrong example for Rabbi Freitag to use my point in the debate in terms of keeping the law is not that God does not want to keep his commandments, Jesus.

If you let me keep my commandments where the New Testament is filled with commandments to sit in country possible to fill, but to felt so usually to the Toronto in light of Jewish tradition, we relate to it in the light of the new covenant the Holy Spirit renounce its abolish was its filth and that we build on the foundation we don't get rid of the foundation.

That being said, I don't want to put my trust in keeping the law.

I will put my trust to keep the law and repenting, I would put my trust in the mercy of God display trust suicide sacrificial death. You said okay but but why was it wrong to use Daniels is an example you can be righteous without blood sacrifice as well. What's written there in Ezekiel 14 that that God saying that that wickedness of that generation was such that even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were around three men of legendary righteousness. They would only save their own souls with allies was that they would not be killed or or or judged. And this is three men of three different generations. Okay, some scholars debate was this the biblical Daniel because the word is spelled differently and what Ezekiel of known about Daniel is a whole limitless assumes the biblical Daniel you tell one person in the whole generation is is that you hope. Okay fine. One person whole generation Y was on Phil Donahue show many years ago when his back on the air for euro South rubbish movie. He asked me.

He asked me is is so is Mahatma Gandhi. No good enough to get in and I said if Mahatma Gandhi rejects God's mercy.

He's not good enough. You're not good enough. I'm not good enough. We all need mercy and Gandhi was the extraordinary man the many ways but falling and being like everybody else and otherwise okay so what's the point. The point is that it the world wants to point to different examples are the struggle on the put forth a different example. In the example actually defeats the whole purpose of what they're saying. So I also could've answered Donahue yeah Gandhi and Mother Teresa are good enough to get it. I don't believe that accursed yet they're good enough recently viewed Wesley's rest of his okay even if this is person of legendary St. George and they're good enough to get in and and that was a leave you was a leader by the elf. It's like okay we now have entry-level in order to get into this academy. You have to be at least 8 feet tall all so anybody can get any of your 8 feet tall so the whole thing is ultimately self defeating that argument 866-34-TRUTH 7884. Let's see, this is from J dear Dr. Brown, I've enjoyed your recent courageous articles about geishas town hall on the website for right Townhall.com. If you get all my articles a month are done work.

I've had some gay friends and been interested in this issue, particularly from a biblical perspective life and I've been married for 30 years. We've all noticed that there is a hormonal factors sex both in terms of pleasure and overall good health will instead of the hormonal interchange between a husband and wife is important to bolster the immune system improvement many other things would seem that this should be an important issue to add to the discussion of homosexuality. Perhaps the high incidence of emotional health issues my gaze to be contributed to the inherently hormonal imbalance that you're the last of is there any supporting research that the interaction of male-female biochemistry has a health and emotional benefits of not.

Perhaps it should be. Thank you for the great work. J digit this is an interesting question and what I would say it is this look at it from from this angle number one that physically God made man to be with women and women to be with men, and when we violate that and then we violate in terms of outside of the context context of marriage that we have problems so male-female promiscuity leads to sexually-transmitted diseases, and other issues like that when you then have men with men, women with women, God did not design us for that. So there are various health risk, especially men with men that arise in the same way. What a woman provides for man and the man provides for a woman emotionally in terms of that that type of interaction, emotional, spiritual interaction that is going to be unique to male plus female not male close male or female plus female in our house. We devoted the couples may be so because of that you have another factor which is the emotional health and then if God did not intend us to be together. His full blessing cannot be on us and it's not surprising that there's a higher use of drugs alcohol so high rate of substance abuse, high rate of suicide, depression, begin listening community it in and recent surveys have indicated that you can't just blame it on homophobia and societal rejection that there are other issues as well that come up that cannot be cannot be ignored. Now as for biochemistry and and hormonal interaction. II not quite sure I follow the point there was I don't think that male-female interaction changes either one's hormones but to the extent that we are normal in our male-female hormones and that contributes to the dynamics of the relationship in different ways, but the bottom line is when you break it down because it violates God's best. God's word of God's plan.

There will be attendant difficulties and problems and I think you're highlighting some of them out from this angle as well.

8663 freight 7884. Let's go to Kenji in Boston.

Welcome to the line of fire. Robert I, yes, go ahead. Question about the new covenant on Jeremiah 30, 30 or 3131. I believe it Jeremiah 31 versus 31 to 34 right and him while I love reading it.

New covenant know when the new covenant that the law and the knowledge of God. What ought anymore, but in the heart though. The question is how can we have a new covenant.

Now one would find God help in the new company bought this a way to transition age and its wonderful questions. An excellent question is something that I was challenged within the in the debate last week and I've written about extensively in my Jeremiah commentary and in volume 4 of answering Jewish objections to Jesus. We are in a transition age right now you can call it as some scholars have already and not yet received in heavenly places and it was still living here in this physical world. We are we are recipients of eternal life. And yet we still die physically. We have one for the world to come in 1 foot in this world we have the deposit of the Holy Spirit, guaranteeing our inheritance. Yet we don't have the fullness of that inheritance. The messianic age has begun, but were still praying for the coming of the kingdom of God's of the kingdom of God is broken in, but was still praying for its full manifestation on the Earth's was the same thing with the new covenant. On the one hand we have experienced the reality of a changed heart and a change life we have experienced the reality of new birth. We have experienced the reality of forgiveness of sins that the passage speaks about and we have experience the reality of the law being written in our hearts so in fact, when we are born again that's one of the great signs of it that now we desire to do God's will and the things that we used to hate me now love the things you still love me now hate. We have a new nature and yet we know that was still struggling with sin in certain ways.

We know that the whole world is not yet know the knowledge of God and that the house is a house of Judah to have full knowledge of God.

So when the transition age.

The new covenant has been inaugurated with the blood of the Messiah and it is now increasing and spreading through the earth and when the Messiah returns and establishes his kingdom on the earth, then, will see the fullness of it just like we see the fullness of everything else that makes sense of the most part, like most I made it clear environment, but not marketable. And yet, have mercy on them both while logged right though, where all been bombed a lot of our company to new contradict the old house you get a whole different you get a whole different question. Stay right there is a touch on the other side of the break horses of 00 the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown get into the line of fire now by calling 86. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown aren't so back to Kenji in Boston died. I didn't know where your question was coming from. To answer the way that I thought would be helpful to you. But of course if Jesus is not the Messiah than there is no Messiah than there will be is the Hebrew Scriptures made plain that he had to come and do his priestly work dying for sins, rising from the dead, make atonement before the second Temple was destroyed in the Hebrew Scriptures made plain that he would be a son of David, get greater than David, the Hebrew Scriptures made plain that he would function as both a priest and king and as a priest would deal with sin and make atonement Hebrew Scriptures made plain that he be rejected by his own people, and it would become a light to the nations of the world and if, again, Jesus hasn't done it will never have a Messiah, because he had to come and establish those things before the second Temple was destroyed. That's quite explicit in many passages in the Hebrew Bible, so you remember back to about one of the big room about the religion of the multimodal biome. Well Kenji what what happens in the New Testament when the miracles happen. The people praise God that he brings all glory to God. But he's also part of part of the Godhead, but he always pointed all attention to the father that when the miracles references.

They praised the God of Israel have if you actually read the New Testament yourself, you saying things based on conceptions find out every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus the Messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the father yet, but the fact that Lori could anyone know what the layering of God the father, but for Jesus and the father one Kenji that that's that backs up the point I'm saying in the Hebrew Bible calls the Messiah, mighty God's will you do with that and it says that all nations will come and bow down before him and honor him. That's in the Hebrew Bible when the sale of the verse is that now we are one of the most was called like normal worship mode because he's created the set right right exactly, you prove my point. You prove my point of the one God sits enthroned in heaven also fills universe with his presence. At times, comes and appears among us on the earth, and he did that, the person of his son. So we don't worship any other God worship one God and one God only on the book about the book about and how you want to be like God and like you know� We all be all submit God in called perfect and looking verse nine but before that have the mind and you will also write did not robbery to be equal to God and his was God. He is one with God that he became a servant, why, why, what I would call it the "all black Kenji Becky one Isaiah 14 is about an angelic being who try to exalt himself to be like God the son of God who is equal with God humbles himself Kenji can get Kaiser question you did you do, radio should ask me a question right but you seem to really be listening.

All you seem to be as responding with arguments I cannot processing what I'm telling Sakai help. How can I help you cannot processing anything that angelic being 14, Amanda tends it doesn't say it doesn't say Lucifer says hello I'm trying to help you out without getting into hubris. Hello Ben Sarkar, shining one son of the Dawn and it's about the king of Babylon right in behind the fall of the king of Babylon is the fall of Satan and try to simplify things for you but but obviously you're not here to learn you to argue so I can help you, you'll never grow and you'll never discover the truth if you just want to argue I can really help you. I can help you with with your questions, but if you're here just to argue I can help you.

So how can I help you, then how can I help I will. If both stop the receiving sacrifice to value obedient overstock and also he throws out the Torah and he also says in in Isaiah 1, I want your prayer and I don't want your Sabbath observance because you hypocrites.

The problem was not right so that we shouldn't pray that God is one prayer. Would you agree God is one prayer wish and pray you want to put anyone on this own sensor Kenji to someone says this is when you play your he wants mercy right right because the people thought they could practice hypocritical religion like to tell you what type of conflict restart year for moment you are grossly misunderstanding the Bible and the where your ideas are coming from which your background is, but the Hebrew Bible made explicit that we needed atonement for sins. And when the and and sacrifices and offerings were foundational for that. Read about the day of atonement. We need blood atonement because were guilty either.

God destroys us for our sin or he puts the punishment on a righteous one.

So if you're an innocent animal symbolically took the place of the guilty people right if we would repent God would have mercy and parties judgment instead on the substitutionary sacrifice in Isaiah 53 it prophesies about the Messiah, the sacrifices were pointing towards him.

Why, because God is merciful and he is just right is merciful and he's just so someone has to suffer.

There has to be punishment, but God saying you're all guilty. I am going to pay for and I'm gonna put it on my son was sent Isaiah 53 we thought he was dying for his sins.

We now realize he was dying for our sins.

It says all of us like sheep have gone astray, each one strength was only but the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of all of us and that he became in our Shama guilt offering and if will turn to him in repentance and faith to God have mercy on me. I'm guilty.

I know I deserve judgment, but I believe that Jesus your son died for me and took my place and ask you to forgive me and give me a brand-new heart he will do it.

You'll now understand you'll be living out the reality of the new covenant could you be experiencing it in your life without him. Kenji stand before God and be found guilty on that day. And God says I I paid the price. My son paid the price for you decided to do it on your dear Sir, don't let that be the case. Keep listening. You want to help you find the truth about God, my friends, be sure to visit the line of fire the Lord for latest articles and videos of my bottom line with pray for the opening of the eyes of those that don't know, let's do it.

You've got questions, we've got answers right here in the line of fire 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. That's 866-34-TRUTH here again is Dr. Michael Brown will you know what today is it's Friday and that means you've got questions, God answers when just tuning in, welcome to the line of fire. Any question you have of any kind thoughts is appropriate for Christian radio. Go ahead, give me a call 8663 freight 7884 if any clarification something we teacher believe if you have a different viewpoint you want to raise an objection if you want to challenge me on something you just got a question, Bible, theology, culture, Israel. You may call 866337884 with that. I'm literally going straight to the phones we go to Long Island Damien. Welcome to the modifier project to escape. Dr. Brown sank.

I had to question what would that without hardly believe that the Old Testament is the word of God. I do, but you know I my my pastors always talk from the Old Testament and and I noticed God's word but you know that a covenant between the Jewish people, and God and man should either the Gentile look at it.

Look at the Old Testament. Should I I don't mean to you look at it as something that verifies that Jesus is Lord, but it's not something I really need to be well versed with in this day and age because I'm a Gentile and I am not a jet yes Damien you you are to be well-versed in the for the right purposes.

Paul writes in Romans 15 for that. Everything that was written before hand was written to give us hope and help us persevere in the Lord Paul writes in first Corinthians 10 verses one through 11 that what happened to Israel as an example for us and there's much in the Old Testament it's not in the new, the book of Proverbs, the book of Psalms the book of Job, the prophetic literature all the history that's not in the New Testament the foundations laid in the five books of Moses. That's not the New Testament. That's the foundation.

So we read both we study both it's it's all the Bible the only Bible that the early followers of Jesus had was what we call the Old Testament but out there.

Everything that's preached and taught ultimately should be pointing to Jesus.

In other words, there are laws that God gave Israel that were for Israel. So when you read the dietary laws.

It does mean that you're supposed to keep them a call to keep them free to if you want to be here. They were given to you as a Gentile believer but you learn from you.

You see how God was teaching Israel separation and things like that.

That being said, if I'm reading say the instructions for the building of the tabernacle and in Exodus beginning in chapter 25 and I'm finding it may be a little dry or I'm reading the genealogies in first Chronicles chapter 3 funny little dry. I would read that more quickly that I would read the first chapter of the Gospel of John. For example, so you want to give more attention to those things that have more immediate spiritual application and then read the Old Testament as God intended it.

Now is the foundation of the faith on which everything else is built. So be familiar and learn from it, but in that way in a foundational way. Our next question I hear places where Jewish people believe that David is the Messiah. What how do they come to that conclusion is not something that maybe I read on over the Internet that maybe only like you Julia it's it's a bit aggressive. People believe it's it's a bit of a misunderstanding to say that there are passages in the Hebrew Bible. For example, Ezekiel 34 that says that my servant David will be king. And there are some that say about David missing from the dead.

Damien's normally believe the set will be in the day to traditional Jesus believe the Messiah will be the son of David, so he will be a greater David.David himself, but it comes from Old Testament references about David will be right back. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown part of the broadcast. All right, last question Damien along on a figure as a fellow Long Island. Get your questions out you were good to hear.

Thank you. My web questionnaires to hike. I went to class with several of them and back in college and I was an opportunity to speak with them and I was a Christian at the time and I thought maybe I can witness to them, but I believe I was very thrown back on because I was asking them about heaven and hell. One day they said to me, will there is no heaven and the other one was about hell they said Wheatley. You know this girl told me that all hell are being thrown from one side of the universe to the other.

While your hair is being pulled out and took all my God I want to think about it. I don't think about and I was like with Arabic getting these strange things from especially people who actually know the language and and you would think they're inundated with the word you see facilities Damien are our ultra-Orthodox Jews and they certain study Scripture, but this did much more Jewish tradition.

Some of them actually believe in reincarnation. Some believe. Perhaps many believe that all Jewish souls were originally at Mount Sinai and that we just reincarnated through the generation. Some actually believe that is called the Gill goal so it's it's similar to two reincarnation and yet as far as heaven. They they believe in the world to come, and they believe in the resurrection. Their emphasis might be more on an earthly type of note new heaven and new earth or heaven on earth type of thing is supposed to the goals when you die, you go to heaven and and maybe they were contrasting that view with what they perceive Christians believe is for health. This particular tradition that this one woman may have noted, certainly not the mainstream of what I've heard over the years and was reflected New Testament in fiery judgment and things that that that reflects ancient Jewish beliefs and tradition as well. They they may believe that there is not eternal punishment for people of that only temporary punishment and and then some ambiguity after that.

In terms of what happens, but suffice it to say that it's not their main focus. Suffice it to say that their main focus is on pleasing God in this world and that if they do that than they want to go on studying Torah and pleasing him in the world to come.

But if you want to just get some general overview of these different issues get my book 60 questions Christians ask about Jewish beliefs and practices. 60 questions so my name Michael Brown 60 questions Christians ask about Jewish beliefs and practices you find a lot of relevant information there and thank you for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the show.

866-34-TRUTH we go to Kerry in Yuma, Arizona. Welcome to the line of fire. Dr. Brown and terra-cotta to be here will thank you don't care and crescent handout foundation based on leading people in a prayer foundation.

This foundation based on the example of Peter all repent and be baptized, and by regular commenter preaches that a pulpit carry people and cure constructed prayer foundation. Repeat after me Prayer Radek Warren and people are asking her to defend typically to be presented with repentance and baptism as Peter and Mark, yet it's something that were very familiar with in our culture, Kerry and some think that's just the way it's always been done but clearly that's not the way it's always been done. Yes, there have been calls for response. I do believe in all the calls I do believe in calling people to respond, but often what we do for falls far short of the biblical goal certainly answer him on three levels. The idea that you just repeat after me and pray the superficial little prayer and go home. And now you say forever in the matter what happens in your life with your changed or not, that your saved that to me is very misleading and deceptive. There's no evidence that just saying a little prayer is is truly turning someone to the Lord in a real born-again experience, so that some of you just repeat after me. Pray this prayer time now. Your say forever no matter what happens to your always say Beavis is a change in life are saved and known to take away your eternal life that's that's a damnable statement to make because it's gonna give false assurance to people is never really been born again you see here but it says if you believe in your heart. Jesus died a doctor since Rosa did you confess him as Lord, then you're safe by confessing him as Lord does not just mean making a statement that means he's now the Lord of your life is a master of your life you live for him. So the first thing is, yes, there's a superficial way that we do it, which is deeply concerning second thing we need to do is call people to truly repent and then to instruct them that they need to be baptized in that culture. It was understood that a ritual immersion for cleansing of sin was something that would be done.

There were some Jews that were ritually immersed every day. Some do to this day, ritual cleansing, every single day. In other settings where there is preaching of repentance and of Johnny Mercer, John the Baptist, that's what you did right so you are you eat. It was part of the Jewish culture when when if you are tour of Israel last last month end and when we were in Jerusalem, you would've seen okay here. All these different baptismal pools all around where the ancient temple used to be and and that's because you had so in those people were getting ritually immersed all the time before they went into the temple and things like that or as a sign of repentance so it's it's a little foreign to us. Now it's more of this sacrament, something that's done separately so we need to connect it more closely the water baptism to toot to salvation.

We need to make clear that this is something that God requires of us and it's a public sign in testimony and it is part of our salvation, commitment, and then we need to do is really call people to get right with God. I don't mind if someone leads a person a prayer to to explain to them what's happening with this means you confess your sin before you. Do you recognize yourself as a sinner. Yes no Luke 18 that the publican beats express God have mercy on the ascent you recognize yourself as a sinner in need of salvation. Yes, I do believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead. Yes is negative and yes God to forgive you and now you turn your life over to him.

From here on you. You decide to live for God it rest in God to forgive you, giving you life. Yes, someone truly does that then you want to pray with that person really help them understand what it means to follow Jesus and one of a woman Bible teacher years ago said when people say I want to be saved. Satan say from what you know from when you understand what you believe and really helped it to ground them more deeply. So number one. I have a real issue with the superficial message and the superficial.

Just pray this prayer thing in on you. You have have a change of life and you just give someone some kind of stamp of of eternal assurance. That's dangerous. Number two I will have a problem with meeting someone in the prayer if it has depth and if it bring someone into reality and you want to spend time with that person you are.

Pray with that person you want them to really look to God and ask for forgiveness of what you earn, but your time of change and rest your life you you what you will even buy a car with that little preparation, let alone pledged to be married to someone for the rest life, let alone submit to some as Lord the rest your life.

So we want people to an end. In that regard.

You want people to be in real conviction. You want people to really recognize the need for Savior. You want that fruit to be ripe before it's pulled off the tree and then thirdly, we need to do more teaching on water baptism. The importance of it and tie it in much more closely with salvation. I have colleagues when they lead someone to the Lord and that person on the right on the spot.

This person says I really believe cost change my life. I want to live for him. Assortments get baptized right then and there, and they find that Dave urlesque the skin over some modern baptizer. They do immediately, and in that unity go that far drugs they have to really mean it. I was kicked out of the house for bringing that up. 20. Sorry that 8 AM. I appreciate you taking people truly believe in a prayer on common and I'm not not at the people as Mark Marcelli concerning from teachers to teach Cliff communicate.

Peter, having the key for taking down the gift of the Holy Spirit being a part of the church are so many things that are connected when everything would have been separated.

Salvation has occurred at Kittanning and how that turned into a where collect exactly that analyzing mindset/misconceptions. The thing is, we need to do is call people deeper hate a book I wrote, and in 1990, that would back your position because it was out over 20 years ago right how saved Ali really race a very serious question still in print today how saved are we supposed to shake a lot of leaders as a leader saying something more this a few more. Yes, Jesus is the Savior, but he really safely transformed to live the way we thank you for calling the line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown. Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown plans for joining us.

Got questions, got answers, 866-348-7884. I'm hoping next week to get Lieut. Gov. Dan Forest on the air with me in North Carolina to discuss what happened with the partial repealing of HB two folks on both sides are very unhappy with the bill. The biggest concern to me is this. If the lawmakers thought they were doing the right thing, then why be bullied by the NCAA. Why be bullied by by the media.

Why be bullied by big business. If you believe you're doing the right thing. Why be bullied. So to cover Dan Forest is too strong for these issues over the years so eager to hear his take on this because obviously have some questions, 866-34-TRUTH we go to Kim in Winston-Salem North Carolina. Thank you for calling Dr. Brown, chapter 1 verses 6 to 9 first chapter 3 verses one through five and first tutorial now offers the pastor and layout versus it would indicate there only me at for me that would be correct. Let certainly the norm. We we do know that you have.

For example, the judges of Israel were all men except Deborah, you have that exception. The Old Testament there are women that seem to have different leadership roles that Paul refers to in the New Testament, but I believe that normally speaking governmental authority is should be male women can serve in ministry. Many many different ways in the body, but I believe that those verses dewpoint in that direction as well that that's presupposed that you are dealing with men, so I know God has raised up women in different settings and I know there are some women who are mildly anointed, who sacrificed and served in and have been powerful leaders and observe this pastors and elders, but I believe that the normal pattern for governmental authority so those that are governing.

In that respect in the body that should be male. That's the normal pattern.

As I understand scripturally got your you're very welcome. I appreciate that and then trust me I know that there is massive discussion about this but I guess I just look out. In general, looking world governments in and see if it's predominantly male look at church leadership senior church leadership and see if it's not predominant email. I believe it's a calling issue and that we have these different makeups and callings were used in different ways. Even in a household. I believe that that the husband and wife in the one hindering mutual submission, one from another learning from each other and honoring one another in husband's call to cut love his wife as Christ loved the church, which is pretty massive right at the same time of the husband is the head of the home can be abused but that's that's what I believe God is established or hey thank you for the call 866 for 87884 Liska, Fort Lauderdale, Florida Maxwell, welcome to the line of fire SRI can't can't make out what you're saying Howard see if we can sort that out and will get back with with Maxwell. Let's see here. Teresa asked the email.

I know we have power of the devil us sees me as a believer in the word says the Lord rebuke you what that's that's one instance, we were told that Michael when dealing with Satan said the Lord rebuke you and in Judah. Jude 1 of is it written anywhere I can actually say I rebuke you Satan. I know we submit to God that will has to flee. This of anything send on that are actually not done Scripture so Mustang is the enemy gets weakened at times we have to worship in spirit and truth.the so the women tells us to please respond by email because I'm in a catch you on your show. But what we do. Teresa's we sent you an email telling you we answered your question on the air. In this way, you can then listen as you have the opportunity was sent to the Lincoln. That's how we do because we can't respond to both respond there. We let you know since we won't you won't miss.

Okay, so in short I believe it's fine to say the Lord rebuke you.

Zechariah 3 the Lord rebuke you know that phrase is used as well. Dealing with Satan and and that's that's what Michael the Archangel does, but I have no problem because we have the authority of the name of Jesus saying I rebuke you, or get behind me, because we have the authority of Jesus.

The reasons this is not as long as Winston is not by our authority, but by his authority that I don't find it unscriptural thereof, as you say I prefer to see the Lord rebuke you and those the words I use. That's perfectly fine, but I don't believe it's unscriptural as we submit ourselves to God. We are the ones resisting the devil and therefore we can say get behind me Satan as long as it's done the authority of Jesus, right, we reconnect with Maxwell in Fort Lauderdale. Thanks for calling on the very well. Thanks are right my question today is about your bike priesthood and make and throughout Israel) picketed Where it says that Joseph in Israel you married Craig and has two children from Ament they become the tribe of Benjamin and then we have an Exodus chapter 2 verse one Moses the house of Lee Bob Mary's you in and has children from Sephora introduces sons Gershom and I can remember though the something right now but let's say that's a Midianite woman Midianite it's not numbers 12. It's a Samaritan Ethiopian and the question is that even would create their immediate median is a land deal. Inhabited land meeting. No, I actually actually that they didn't hear here's the of the word Koosh in Hebrew has several different meanings. One meaning has to do with what is Ethiopia today right, but there are other meanings that are referring to another part of the ancient world that are not connected with the Ethiopian people. So it's regular daily.

It's it's the cushion you will see just where Kush recurs, for example, in Genesis 2 is talking about something totally different.

Part of the world is not over in Africa. It's over Mesopotamia in Genesis the second chapter, so could if you just look in any any major Hebrew dictionary. You'll find that Koosh has several different several different meanings. So there's a debate about did Moses marry another wife. Numbers 12 and they were upset with that Cushite woman or is that's how it's referring to the Midianite woman and Chris has a different meaning there but anyhow so so your question is, is there a connection between Ethiopian Jews or modern easy habits of Ethiopia and in the tribe of Levi, I'm just what you think your "reconnecting Craig about history and vibrated and meeting Margaret Artois bring more likely situation that were unique ancient Hebrews were not Negroid but there were Negroes among them that you humans would have been more of a brown skin. People but the one Negroes among them for sure. And a and I bring back the question of of Hamlet. So, okay, everybody says in the Christian world that Hamlet black. I will understand how flex sounds like mother/father. Okay, so looks like a ham under the so they stay right there. I think this is 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 6643 here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you friends for joining us on the of the line of fire. You've got questions, we've got answers. If you're listening to me anywhere near St. Louis Grace Church. Again the third straight year with a more discreet year for three straight times, wonderful congregation be speaking Saturday night.

Twice Sunday morning. So for all the info go to the line of fire that working to check on my itinerary.

All right, a question has been asked of me regarding ham. One of the three sons of Noah and is it true that ham was black. While I see any evidence for that could be done see any evidence for that. From what I understand, and I'm not a geneticist but from what I understand that the three that that you could explain how all genetic qualities could have been found in Noah and his wife or Noah's sons and their wives and that as they are, then scattered throughout the earth. Then all of the other genetic qualities that we see with the various peoples Negroid caucus. All I different ones. Those that are will you know we would classify as Asian or Hispanic today or Caucasian or Negroid.

Again, these are just different terminologies is not never meant to be to classify an offensive way that all the genetic qualities could be found in just a few people and then as they continue to scout around the world and those genetic qualities continue to develop within the people's take on more distinctives living in different cultures, climates, etc. and in marrying among themselves, and so on and so forth. Yet not a geneticist and an anthropologist but this is what I understand, but I have you say what will hand the simian black eye. She just means hot and burn it means. It means hot but the. The original meaning of the word and what is associated with we we don't know. But to repeat, some have said many times from what we understand the ancient Israelite people would've been darker skin than a white man and lighter skinned than a black man, and that they would've been more brown skin like a Middle Eastern person today from from what we can understand from the iconography from the ancient description some things that exist from paintings and will even see in the Egyptian hieroglyphs and and the the paintings that accompanied the inscriptions and things you'll see sometimes the Egyptians with their African slaves. Their Nubian slaves in the Nubian slaves are darker skin with different facial structure than the Egyptians see you see this were there Negroid people among the. The engine is. Let's just seems clear and then over the years, as there was say the tribes of Israel scattered in different parts the world and then intermarrying with peoples in different parts will intermarry with Caucasians right intermarrying with dark skin Africans as these things happen, then what came out of that was when you have black Jews, for example, continue to exist as a Ethiopian Jews, but I don't believe that the original Israelites looked like Ethiopians anymore and I believe the original Israelites looked like me look like a European okay these are things that happen is there is intermarriage with other groups. Those groups married in two tribes of Israel with the children of Israel married out to those groups there disappear from history right. The bottom line is the bottom line is that our salvation does not come based on skin color, nor do we divide over that when the Messiah but here's here's my challenge Christians to do the church is often presented Jesus as this blonde haired blue-eyed European Caucasian European white man that's that's not accurate that's not accurate. Well enjoy yourself. It's okay.

What if he was Asian how I relate to victimization. What if what if he was black how I relate is a challenge of all your paradigms and of course, this can cause secondary to having our Savior, but I like people challenge your thinking and related other cultures did for cleansing the Expo 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 Brown.

This explain that many people have been asked to look at Jesus certain way is been presented incorrectly as the white European and its distance himself from his Jewish roots. It's distanced himself from his Middle Eastern roots and you say well it's just not we understand similarly look like it. Okay fine. So what if now he was pictured as black men said it was a white European. As black men. Whichever problem relate well let me give all of your risk a black person relates. It was a white person working was present as an Asian boy was an Asian gnarled elucidation of the was by company was white as Middle Eastern. But did you get the point that we just expect is as symmetric and believers are European believers that their own discomfort is the latest certain way of the picture Paul. He was like a European annual white European Geyer Peter and Moses, Isaiah was not the case.

So let's let's draw our thinking a little bit and let us then think about in a larger way in terms of the world church believers around the world as well as in terms of the Jewish roots of our faith that make sense 866-348-7884. Let's go to Michael and Dallas Texas. Welcome to the line of fire hello hello go ahead and hear your I need a little help. I have a young Jewish messianic generic brand network that we've been learning well from each other over the last year and 1/2 years that he came on, but the other day he corrected me and the fact that Jeter was not God that there was only one God and I've done a lot of research and talk to several next year and it church is about that. That means that that's actually a movement through the church that not correct and a lot help on helping him. Yes, you think, of course, this one on one Donald Mike we we all believe that no one argues that but what we can demonstrate that is complex in his unity.

He's when I sees one is the one like this pair of glasses. I'm holding my hand, is one of the span that I'm holding in my hand as one is the one a week, these human beings are on one so he is complex in his unity.

It's interesting that the same word used for one can't in Deuteronomy 6 were the children of Israel say the Lord our God Lord is one.

It's interesting that the first time it's used Genesis 1 there was evening and morning one day suits evening and morning together make one day than Genesis 224 the man and the woman come together Adam and Eve come together in the two become one flesh.

So can you have one used for the two becoming one and then then you have you have in in Exodus 35 of the various parts of the tabernacle come together this one tabernacle. So God is one, but how we understand his unity and of course in Scripture we understand them as father-son in spirit with the church is called Trinity so that the best way to help them is Scripture and then even insights into Jewish thought and tradition and what I'd recommend that you do is just go to my Jewish website okay rheometer Kia's real Messiah.com right and and if you if you got my my overall website instructor around or just click on Jewish but otherwise go to real Messiah.com and when you're there you just want to to look at you look at where where is it here hang on answers right so real. Messiah.com just click on answers and then you, you'll see your different choices and you want to look at the theological objections so it's real simple, real Messiah.com. Click on answers and then go to theological objections and you will see the very first one to still believe in the Trinity. We believe in one God, not three.

If you claim Jesus is God and regrowth of idolatry and you can ask there's a written answer in this video answer for each one so real Messiah.calm and click on answers and theological objections and you'll see I address those issues head-on, and I encourage you to watch them together with him or say watch these read these in the let's talk together. Hopefully we can help sort that out for him. Okay.

Thank you. You are very welcome.

Thanks for the call 866-34-TRUTH decide I know you have Jewish website. Oh yeah, we got a ton of stuff on there for you. Yeah and and as more funds come in.

Were going to make more and more the material available in Hebrew with a major campaign on Internet to get Jewish seekers to go to the website. Yeah. Right now we go to Kingston, Massachusetts Don Wilkinson line of fire. Dr. Brown thank you all? Or a little bit. I know there is some people say that, get that early May.

Part I quadrilateral is written in right after the exile, and my question with that group. With regard to marriage because you see there's a lot of multiple marriages in the Old Testament are they want) multiplied and I've heard I'm not.net. I heard that people start doing one man, one life after the exile, so I was questioning whether that clause that been projected to match Elliott's father mother and be united to his wife that came after EXL just because I don't know why God would say from the beginning and never say anything about it for the whole time. You will actually point to thank divorce is not mentioned to get to tour and that certainly wasn't God's ideal. But no, even after the Babylonian exile Jews continue to have multiple wives and in fact it Judy is improper. Didn't even put a ban on until about a thousand years after the time of Jesus. So what you have is God's ideal and then the realities of things in a fallen messed up world so you have polygamy Arabian Genesis for every example you have. Where there is multiple wives taken. Abraham, Sarah than taking his concubine Hagar as a wife be at Jacob marrying to wives you always have major problems because of it. Deuteronomy 17 one that the king could not have too many wives and against dislike divorce to sit was given because the hardness of heart was not God's intent at the beginning of so we we have the pattern which is extolled is a man and woman coming together for life. And when you have polygamy you have consistent problems because of it, but it was part of the world.

It was also sometimes the only way that people could preserve generations of women way able have children and a man had multiple wives was actually able to provide in support. Sometimes it was the only way for generations to survive.

It was never God's ideal anymore than divorce was God's ideal and so we we learn in different ways.

In the Hebrew Bible we learn not just through saying this is right. This is wrong, but also through examples.

So we see the many many problems that are presented through polygamy in the Old Testament we get to the New Testament, Jesus reinforces in Matthew 19. One woman, one man together, the two becoming one for life.

And then Paul instructs that that elders are to have one wife only.

And then he says that the people should follow the examples of leaders so this is a holistic way of approaching things but honestly gone to this day. Missionaries have learned that if they go to a polygamist culture and they preach the gospel there and people are saved. That aside from a man with multiple laws being forbidden from being an elder. Those people welcomed in the church as believers and then they work on teaching the next generation because they realize you can correct it immediately. It's gonna take a generation or two to fix and again it's not like God says anywhere in the Bible.

The if your culture is. You both was that you going to hell for having multiple wives. So it's something that's bad, but needs to be corrected over period of time in certain settings. Yeah, and again Don.

Give them a quick deal with his back overcoming and not in the mercy seat back and Old Testament people know me to have. You have to get in there and sprinkle the blood in the Merck right that was on the day of atonement. On the day, year, yes telephoto for your for the Jewish people. Yes deeper dive port in line, which is below.

Sprinkle in the Merck 50 is there any explanation of what ARC undid me the crucifixion site on the ladies. What wonderful question. So to explain his death on the cross was not like an animal being sacrificed in the temple. The animals in the set and the temple appointed to his sacrificial death rate so they were only a a a signpost pointing towards the real way which is him. The Messiah is a 53 says he will make his own soul, a guilt offering. So he did not sprinkle his blood on the earthly altar on the earthly mercy seat and arc. He sprinkled his blood in the heavenly remember what Moses built on earth was built after the pattern of the heavenly God says I've shown you the time of need. The building plan you model everything on that so tells us in Hebrews 9 that he went into the heavenly's and he sprinkle his blood on the heavenly altar, the heavenly mercy seat so the earth was a type and shadow. What matters. The reality he did it in the heavenly reality. So thank you for the question. I very much appreciated.

866-34-TRUTH we go to George and Dallas Texas. Welcome to the line of fire regarding the millennium.

Yes, the wicked get on the right are alive during the millennium.

What happened to the right to die during the millennium or whatever through their throat. Yeah it's it's it's very pretty, fair question. We believe for example that right now if if a believer dies that they immediately go into the presence of God and await the final resurrection, but there with him now, spiritually, and that some of the doesn't of the Lord rejects and dies that there is a place of judgment within the final resurrection. There are some who claim no. They're just asleep at soul sleep until the final resurrection I don't see that personally scriptural right.

So then we know as we understand those of us were premillennial. When Jesus returns of the dead rise that we who are alive are glorified through receiver resurrected bodies and were with him forever and that that the wicked will not be resurrected to judge mental the end of the thousand year reign of Jesus. So what happens to righteous person who dies millennium. While it would seem that they would be in the same kind of said situation that we are now.

If we die, that they be with the Lord awaiting the resurrection, and that second resurrection takes place at the end of the millennial kingdom. So for understanding those passages correctly. That's what would be implied that they would not rise until the and of the millennial kingdom. If you believe in soul sleep with a dispute sleeping. But as I understand it, they would be with the Lord and then waiting the final resurrection which takes place at the end of the millennial kingdom that's best recommended stranded glorified body that exactly the second resurrection rights of the final resurrection of the wicked and the righteous will take place after that. Writer yet. Thanks.

Headless therefore right on all these things amazing because these are extraordinary details about the future.

All right we go to Dallas Texas Daniel time shorts away right in our current trigger.

Your Rabbi this last week for yes, or I want I want to I don't think you really answered the Rabbi? This question was if you could show him one character in the entire Torah where in first person, where God says that Israel as a nation will worship fire that was in his class a person that was in this question. This question was to me one text in the whole Hebrew Bible first person regards the soul will die for you and you will no longer keep the commandments. But I don't believe that.

Why would I shown that when I don't believe that and over and over. I made the same point in many people said to me, never answered yes of course overwhelm us and I believe that I don't believe that Jesus died so that you doesn't keep the Sabbath anymore. The Jesus died so that people keep the commands and what he said I didn't come to the Boston Globe to fulfill. But I can show you the whole Hebrew Bible as I did in my opening presentation points to Jesus being the Messiah of Israel and that all nations are called to bow down to make knowledge and I can show you that he had to die for. Since before the second Temple was destroyed. I can say that it was prophesied that he be rejected by her people will become a white to the ends of the earth. I can see all that you very very plainly.

Passage after passage. When God said to believe the prophet he would raise up those it and believe would be cut off and that's you know that's gonna make it very clear in the Torah is so so certain.

And by the website. I love to talk to further where were out of town. I got 30 seconds before the show was out yet, but to be very clear. I don't believe with the Rabbi was arguing because the snow in the Bible and that's why you had right in the congregation. Many, many Jewish believers in Jesus). Dallas parishes like Leticia, this is their spend less energy's latest is what is Jesus didn't die first.

As we do. If you die first officer being sinners who are lost in hell bound a thank you sir for the call. Bottom line is I will seek and save the lost
