All the information is on the website asked Dr. Brown a SK DR Brown.org just click Rich's itinerary on your website, contact and itinerary before I get to calls and some were Jewish related news. Let me explain a few things to about the Hebrew language that might help your understanding of how there can be different interpretations of words and things like that and why a translation might give. Here's one way of rendering it, here's another way of rendering it on the one hand, we only have a limited amount of material in ancient Hebrew. In other words, if you look at the English language. Today we have the English language spoken all around the world. We have literature being written in English all around the world. We have English literature going back centuries and centuries and centuries and centuries and centuries and centuries so we have a lot of literature and normally we can figure out what the word means, by context, we can figure out what the word means.

By seeing how it came into the English language how the world was created, etc. so it's it's relatively easy to find out meanings of words when you have a large corpus of material, but when the material is much more limited then you're going to have words that occur just one or two times and you can look to try to seek sees me to see the roots of the root system in the Semitic languages often has similar meetings from one language to another. You can see the same route say same three letters that are occurring as a root system and you'll see them in other languages and you can get an idea but you can always do that. And then sometimes the word is just obscure what occurs in a difficult context. You know Proverbs. For example, translating Proverbs is much more difficult than say translating first or second Kings because straight narrative is is one thing but Proverbs. There could also be a play on words or it's a pithy little saying and you know haste makes waste right you have to understand that pretty well in English.

And if you're not familiar with English. The Enos is three words and it's simple, you might not get the full meaning. Birds of a feather flock together.

What are birds of a feather. What is that even mean that's a proverbial saying in English, so sometimes you have a word, occurring in a poetic section. It's difficult and it's only time it's there, so scholars will do their best to sort this out word that occurs only one time. I know I don't mean a form of the verb like you have. I am writing I write.

She writes their writing and now those are all different forces. Invert onto my the word just that word occurs one time that verb in any form occurs is one time of the revival or that noun just one time in the Hebrew Bible. It's called. Actually, not just in the Hebrew Bible, but generally villages, something that is only found once that only occurs once.

So how do I know what it means if I see the words nickel is made up word of an insulting and some language nickel of Ohio. I know what it means. I want to buy that. What would cost the cost Jewish nickel how I know this nickel is an in oh what is it does that. That is, I work for my bicycle. I can trade my bicycle is at it and a currency a certain amount of money or what it was mean it's it's not you know it was as big as this nickel was in a small it was really big it was.

We don't know. So how can you figure out what you can see okay. Are there similar words and maybe Arabic Babylonian nation and the major dictionaries will will tell you this.

This is the degree that I got a nurse to mileage literatures and tell you these things, and now you can can compare right with God, almost identical word and occurs in this context and it's it's all in sales transactions and Babylonian documents. It seems to be a certain currency and so on and so the amount of money. Okay, that's one way you can do it sometimes assisted you look at the root of the root will tell you so okay this seems to come from this route. This route has to do with being big so maybe it's something big, then the other thing we can say is okay, let's look how was translated sales translated by the ancient Jews, so the Septuagint, the Greek translation a couple hundred years before the time of Jesus movement. How do they understand this work let's see the target of the Aramaic translation paraphrase from around the time of Jesus and after they rendered.

Let's look at that. Let's look at the early Christian renderings. Let's look at the Vulgate that Latin there were the push each other. Christian Syriac version. How did they understand this met. Let's see, was quoted in the in the rabbinic literature.

The ancient rabbinic literature from the centuries after Jesus and how did they understand it, so a lot of times we have more information and through that we can then come to a determination but sometimes is difficult and scholars will do their best to wrestle with it. Now the good news is there is nothing essential like this in the Bible and other words there is nothing in the Hebrew the Greek.

That is an essential point in essential doctrine essential life command that is obscure or difficult. These tend to be found in say a poetic passage in Job or something like that. In other words, the passage is difficult, but it's one of these things that we don't build doctrine on and that is not specifically relating to us, but that's where you can see several different translations you can compare them just go to website like Bible Gateway.com and compare several different versions, and if they're all saying the same thing you can be relatively sure that that is insured meaning from from the Hebrew or New Testament from the Greek that one of the same.

Eric welcome to the line of fire by the later you're going up going to London I fired back that night immediately recommended trying to mileage in England on the topic. I told him if I go you be black and gray golf I'll be able to make it yet yesterday and so you might my question is about the divine article on you that Mike Michael hi there and I would. How how light or how popular among scholarship and then to use the any sort of like what your take on that because currently I see some sort of perhaps think it undermines the idea of there being one God, so I don't know what your take on that it yet sure the. The Bible clearly speaks about other gods. For example, Exodus 15, who is like you oh Lord among the gods there. There are clearly other divine beings that were worshiped in the ancient world where the Angels where they were the demonic powers they were silly not gone in the sense of the one true creator, we can see is that there is an angelic counsel that stands before God and gives account. We see this from from the book of Job. The first two chapters, and if if there is reference to God sitting in the Council of the God small G it could well be referring to these angelic beings that he created but for the pagans. They did understand like that. The pagans understood that there were all these different competing deities and some thought that Paul was the supreme one of those that ale was the supreme one others that Margaret was the supreme monarch, so they they had these different battles, and in fact the creation accounts from the ancient world reflect the battles between the gods for supremacy's exact opposite of Genesis 1. So in the context of that in the context of the belief of the gods in the ancient world no-no. There's only one God, Yahweh is only one God resulted God in the context of his created entourage.

These other divine beings. These angels yes there is that divine counsel that God presides over the ancients didn't understand it like that.

The pagans, the polytheist they thought it was many different gods that since know there's only one true God. In the context of belief in his other powers. Yahweh is greater in all these other quote gods thank you sir for the question. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown.

Your voice is more cultural and spiritual revolution.

Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thank you much for joining us on the line of fire.

This is Michael Brown. It is thoroughly Jewish Thursday before I get back to the phones we explain something else to about the Hebrew language. Originally it was written without vowels. Originally it was written without vowels. If you read a modern Israeli newspaper or read a modern Arabic newspaper or book they are written without vowels. So how can network the languages such the structures such that you're able to understand it without vowels now here and there.

There's ambiguity, but in context, you can virtually always figure it out now. It's not entirely without vowels, but largely social explain. I actually read something in English where every word was messed up where letters were switched in the wrong position and you read the whole paragraph through and you understand every word of your mind instantly makes the corrections was kinda startling to see you figured out as read.

Even though you knew everything was wrong and for me I just read right through it and and here.

Lo and behold everything was twisted installing out your mind just makes adjustments in in in English if you have the the W right and I say how that really hurt Al so OW how you don't say out what correct Alois know how that W is just conveying a part of the old sound owl if thought if I use the Y word pay PA. I don't say pager so that Y has a valve function but it's actually a letter ancient Hebrew in its earliest phases, began to add what are called vowel letters, so the W could stand for and who are in oh or the Y stand for and E are in a sound so that would help you as read. Now we have those in Hebrew and Arabic today. These vowel letters to be like a W or why it's not pronounced in an English word with the tells you how to pronounce the vowel before it just had an old would be all you put the WF credits out right. How POW feed and have the didn't have the W there have a different different sound to it. So these were introduced at a certain point in history and then that.

Remember they were saying them with vowels. They were understanding without the valves just weren't written several hundred years after Jesus more than 500 years. If the time of Jesus scribes began to develop a different system of dots and short lines to signify vowels to further clarify so the sacred text of the Bible would have the vowels added or the Koran in Arabic. One of the vowels added and this would then make very very clear what was being said.

But remember, or term of the Hebrew Bible, the vowels were not there. The valves were not there. Originally right. People said things with vows, but they were not written down so over the course of centuries, spelling conventions changed when I was a kid growing up there were words that that you had a double letter with it. You don't have a double letter for now. If I'm correct what I was going through her judgment. She had in EE after the Jeep it is gone now and say if you went further back, the work color COLOUR labor LABOUR that still expelled in England, but we got rid of the use COLORLABOR so the same way. In Hebrew, the spelling has changed over the centuries, so the way that we have the Hebrew Bible today is not the exact same spelling is where the bin and Moses day would've been in Isaiah's day, the spelling change, not the words, but the spelling of the words those that's what makes us whole thing we can count certain letters equidistant letter is an integral from here to here and and it has the secret codes will hang on, that sounds originally written, so all your talk about the contemporary manuscripts that are the most recent manuscripts that have been preserved so we don't have the original's balloting. We have the original words and sometimes the way the vowels were added by scribes.

Centuries later, reflects their understanding, but it may not be the original. That's why you might see two scholars look at the same Hebrew text. But they they take the vowels away and they say was this rightly understood.

I don't think so.

That's how sometimes you get different translations out. This is making some sense to you. The more you study learning though the more you realize how secure things are in a in other words, we have so much evidence and so many resources that we can feel secure and sure is reading our Bibles in English. Nonetheless, there are variations and that's what you'll have footnotes saying or could read like this, or literally. It's this that were interpreting it to mean this is August their lunches for myself. Great, wonderful, encouraged by the time you learn the languages well enough to differ with the scholars that spoken be 10, 20, 30 years to have-if you're able to spend the time working on it right before the back to the phones on this thoroughly Jewish Thursday.

I would go to Washington DC Roger welcome to light a fire. I do very well thank you and the other day on out to be conflict out each group is treating each other and their about how God gave us two years collecting only 1 mile big talking.

This woman called in and she was.

She had a different opinion in your and I'm very conservative and not that I agreed with her, but in my heart I felt that you really kind of what she was abused and have achieved it.

No one even listen to her. She didn't have a chance to talk talking about the Palestinians that she supposed to happen and that was a passion I don't think that with out but she was kind of on your side.

But my point was that Christ would treat anyone like that is the severity of salvation is that when I got it so your questioning what unsaved you don't think I was fair to call it 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 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown was Roger add my call screener Howard no one to talk to him without a break.

There Roger, when everybody so you call in and tell me that I abused Karthik use the word abused and the mere chance to speak and that you question some of salvation over that wow that's a new one course do my best to be respectful to everyone we get some pretty crazy calls if I'm ever disrespectful. Go to some inadequate time or anything like that. It course would apologize and make it right. Wow, is not something should I question your salvation. Roger there is you question your salvation for calling and accusing me of of that exit is certainly an answer very odd. Sorry not there.

I want to hear more. We hang up on you to set a break. Short break. In fact told Howard which no one kept talking talking you gone yet hit-and-run 866-34-TRUTH 87884 in Norway bubblewrap*there is group. I guess couple guys a carpe diem three time winner of the Spellman prize, which is often the Norwegian Grammy awards. The deer was put together by Margie Omar tree betrayed their Abdul Magritte, a Norwegian of Egyptian dissent and sure Rush recounts Patel his family is in the end of a popular Norwegian raptor was accused of mainstream anti-Semitism by using the word Jew, and RL Sharon's insults in its latest single, gathered their big big there so the lyrics aren't have to change them in order to be able to save them. The guys referring to Reese's. I mean dog or female dog or prostitute change the words here or derogatory word or Jew or dork. A joke is a joke. Ariel Sharon want so Jewish rap fan Eliana hurts 21 years old posted an open letter to them in Norway's largest newspaper reproduce the letter in its opinion section drawing attention to the song by national median prominent members of the Jewish community, including its president Irving Cohen turn my stomach. She said she's an activist against anti-Semitism so a carpe diem spokesperson said no, the derogatory terms were listed go to point out that the terminology is problematic when taken out of context so the bad word for prostitute. That's only problematic when it's taken out of context or dork like problematic when it's taken out of context. REL Cheryl what's context for our Ariel Sharon. Come on in a letter hurts argue that the inclusion of the word for juvenile Sharon, a former Israeli Prime Minister. The list of insults augments the problem rather than helping to solve it, go to turn my stomach because during my childhood I experienced being called blanking Jew.

The song reinforces that which I try to fight against every day, Norway is it a surprise. No, not a surprise 866-34-TRUTH 784 we come back I will take your calls any Jewish related calls that you have right here on the line of fire, and if you'd like to launch a stinging accusation against me.

Just make sure you stay on the phone so I get to hear what it is fair enough. We will be right back 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 Symantec basically wrapper Norwegian Norwegian rapper anti-Semitism. Last week I wrote about robot anti-Semitism another wrapper in the states in his anti-Semitism that's out there. Why is its demonic ultimately 8663 for 87884 we go to Brooklyn Nancy welcome to light a fire blanket. Thank you so very much for taking my call. I can always rely on you Dr. Brown I get my community. I had a question today in the book of acts. In chapter 2120 X all relate that there were four men and I were about to enter file under way to be taken to the temple finished their bow and offer and do I make an offering, and I like to know what that offering lot that day that they offered what kind of offering. They would in offer at that time and also on an act 2417 Paul talk about him now. Bringing to the temple sacrifice and I like to know what effect of my time. Yet, it had already been exactly yet now also yeah and and thank you for the kind words appreciated. If you start if you start in in acts chapter 18 you'll see that there is a reference to Paul there and that he had taken on a Nazirite vow okay okay yeah yeah so so you see this in acts 1818, after this posted many days longer and then took leave of the brothers set sail for Syria with Priscilla: that can create he had his.

He cut his hair, for he was under eval media Nazirite vow so as long as the temple was standing the the Jewish people, the believers were still part of that ancient world and still participated as they recognize that something greater had come to recognize that the Messiah had come and brought atonement for sin, but there were various offerings for dedication.

They were in a consecration offerings that kind of thing. So even if there was an atonement element of it to them they knew it was it was really dealt with in a for example I will. I participated sometimes with messianic Jews at a young Keyport service Dave atonement service. So that's the day when traditional Jews around the world are praying for forgiveness and beating their breasts and confessing sins and if I've ever partaken in those prayers as a believer I denim one to search my heart in her examine my own life for purity, but then also to intercede for my people Israel to know the forgiveness that I really have so I'm doing it that I'm not doing it the same way they're doing it. So in an accident. The 21st chapter if we just back up a little bit us and we know that there multiplied thousands, tens of thousands of Jews in Jerusalem who believe with their living by the law right because the test especially with the temple still standing but the other question is why wouldn't. In other words, the reason I throw off the Sabbath. The reason to get rid of the biblical counter you just understand you not justified by those thing.

But as long as the temple was standing member Peter went up to the temple, asked three at the time of prayer. There were times people gathered and and they would still partake of those is still especially Paul said among the Jews� Jew to win the Jew so that would mean even traditions. He didn't have to take on that he would take them on. So, so this was, as you see, verse 23 do. Therefore, we tell you X 2123. We have four men who under eval. Take these men and purify yourself along with them and pay their expenses they may share their heads of this would've been the purification offerings after the at the Nazirite vow right and you can find out more about that and in the book of numbers that discusses that. So even though there is a a minor element. This is this is for atonement. That's not what they were doing it. They were doing it in participation with their people. As long as the temple was standing they were still recognizing that the reality had come, but the shadow was still there. Hebrews tells us it's getting ready to fade away and then the temple was destroyed, and that was the end of that system so if there's a question let's say that there's a future temple that's built� It happens with messianic Jews go up to the temple and participate in the services there to be part of their people and to intercede for their people over. They say no we will not participate because massage become. That's actually a debate you don't. Do you participate in traditional part of your people and use it to intercede for Israel. God opened their eyes. May they see with the sacrifices really mean or just stay away because the that the works really been done. You want to send that message out.

So there is a debate that messianic Jews have have had.

But here, this would've been the purification offerings after the Nazirite vow and as a city find out more about the details of that and in number six, so they weren't doing it for salvation for forgiveness. But just as part of the purification consecration system they have in that day came to connect 2417. What effect that I came to tubing a charitable gift to my nation, and to offer sacrifices that will be the same application gadget to browse my nation and to to present offerings of the other.

There could be Thanksgiving offerings right, you know, there could be consecration offerings that was still done. There is there is nothing stopping you from doing it. That was a way of life for centuries and centuries and centuries so the Messiah had come brought us forgiveness for his redemption without a right relationship with God. But it didn't stop you from saying hey I understand these things don't save my soul or change my life with their part of the temple system so certain yet is as long as it is understood when it was destroyed. It was destroyed, but the Jewish believers didn't miss a beat because they already knew the spiritual realities that were greater than the temple. Thank you so much. You are very welcome that everything, thank you. Are you to thank you for your enthusiasm and kindness. Much appreciated. 866342 got Jewish related questions we've got answers.

According to the reports and specifically targeted Christians on Easter Sunday G. Recall that I had Muslims, Pakistani Muslims coming on my Facebook page saying this is not Islam and we have a great relationship with the Christians in our country. Everything is wonderful with us and the Christians are friends or neighbors in a sedate, maybe where you live.

They are but they suffered terribly in your country.

It it is according to open doors.org.

The situation of Christians in Pakistan terms of persecution is extreme while here's a report on Breitbart.com Pakistani tax Pakistani textbooks teach children that Christians are called nefarious violent and tyrannical by nature. Yeah, Pakistani textbooks, a new study on textbooks using Pakistan's public schools found deeply troubling content in the representation of Christians and other minority religions is fundamentally inferior and less trustworthy than Muslims.

The conference report teaching intolerance in Pakistan. Religious bias in public school textbooks. Both the textbooks used to confer public shaming on Christians and other minorities docketing schoolchildren with a pro-Muslim prejudice from the earliest ages than by surprised as a conservative Muslim nation that no surprise that number by the Expo line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown your voice and more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown thanks for joining us on thoroughly Jewish Thursday, this is Michael Brown. I was at a board meeting church board meeting yesterday and I saw an email sent to me by my assistant how Moss endorses Bernie Sanders, Haas endorses Bernie Sanders. Well it was it was a a mock website, but the announcement with this if it was a real announcement and what I sought I first distributed with the others that I'll check this out Thomas's endurance, Bernie Sanders. Everybody laughed to deal with surprised just because it is a Jew. He's got some pretty anti-Israel views or let's say, hypercritical views of Israel or believing a certain narrative that demonizes Israel normal white wash everything Israel does with the other extreme is to demonize and he seems to be in the demonizing camp which is not atypical for liberal American Jew it does happen sometimes it is the extreme siding with the that the hurting and the oppressed in a way that's unrealistic. Another is not realizing that there is the reason that the hurting in the Preston situation. There is a cyst is a criticality of people that that's whether being dealt with harshly.

In any case. In any case, it was just a smooth good thing I admit I would always read the article 1st before chair blows viscous contract was on the radio that I announce is just a spoof 866-34-TRUTH 7884 any Jewish related questions you have. There is a gentleman that I follow on Twitter Brian shroud or SCh or AUG ER and I was just looking at some of his tweets last night.

He was retrieving some other posts from Israel. One. Israel keeps making it so difficult to be a devout racist and and here this is from Israel. Congratulations to Gen. John Mall puckers the first Arab-Israeli to be promoted to this rank in the Israeli national police and I was right will yet I thought Israel was a terrible apartheid state. II thought Israel was guilty of ethnic cleansing. Why didn't they kill this guy. I I can assure you I can assure you that during the Holocaust, Jews were not being promoted to being high ranking people in the German national police and into the joy of the Germans. When altogether, there is that there is some great posts in this one. Israel is such a failure as an apartheid state. And here's a picture of all these policemen there holding policeman women holding up cell phones and others in the audience of their holding of cell phones watching the promotion promotion ceremony for Deputy Commissioner, Jamaal Huck Roush again. He's an Arab Israelis and Palestinian is Palestinian yet so that is a Muslim is. It is a Muslim Palestinian is been appointed Deputy Commissioner and here they are put in that you know that the stripes on his shoulders. Whatever you call them is going to lead a newly formed division aimed at improving police services in the Arab communities in Macek Times of Israel. We should we should post is from a few days back times of Israel reported on evil evil Israel.

So Brian just got these great posts retreating of his time to fire the Israeli Ministry of ethnic cleansing and Israel is not doing a good job of ethnic cleansing.

Yes he's being sarcastic. He is being sarcastic. 8663 freight 7884 there is a report from a camera.org committee for accuracy and Middle Eastern reporting from yesterday actually met the times original articles just yesterday the 13th of cameras Israel office prompted correction of a Jens France press France legacy France the France press agency for your my bad French pronunciation of the correction of their article last week which incorrectly reported that the and Tempe hijackers member years ago the terrible hijacking singled out Israeli passengers know they singled out Israeli and non-Israeli Jewish passengers. Not all my Israel passed his release.

Jews who did not hold Israeli citizenship citizenship are also not released all non-Jewish passengers release they reported say non-Israelis release no witnesses raises Jews reduce the article April 6, said it had heard about the July 7, 1976 hijacking by the time the Israeli commandos arrived on monthly passengers had been released by the hijackers, leaving about 100 Israelis and crewmembers aboard know it was actually 100 Israelis or Jews see often when there's an attack on Israel's attack on Jews often when there's hatred of Israel to confuse all there are people who love the Jewish people that have issues with the modern state of Israel. Some other policies. And I can respect that.

But in so many cases antiscience and anti-Zionism is simply a mask for anti-Semitism who died, who died in the in the absolutely heroic rate to rescue the hostages who died in that rated anybody know 866-34-TRUTH 784 Israel came in they they they they went into the Africa and it was a dangerous dangerous undertaking to free the hostages because if anything goes wrong the hostages die and breathtaking success. And then as they're leaving the key Israeli leader gets shot to death, but none of us know now I think I saw the movie rate written on Tempe were the exact name was. It was� See when that movie came out� I don't believe I saw it when it came out but who was killed is Benjamin Netanyahu's brother. This is leading the operation commando and writers in a book. I believe it was one of the hostage takers were part of the team who had been wounded was able to gain strength just to shoot and killed Netanyahu's brother Casey didn't know that think it's something worth knowing Rh of an John K sick in the matzoh bakery links the blood of Jesus to Passover. The great link between the blood that was put above the lampposts hastily say lampposts is the doorpost he said lampposts the blood of the Lamb because Jesus Christ is of the Lamb of God's in his blood. We believe eight Gov. K sick great Christian testimony probably probably not what you want to say in Orthodox Jewish bakery. Probably not what you want to say there should moral matzoh bakery in Pacific school in Borough Park on Tuesday� Whoops, my bottom line today.

Knowing the truth about Israel set you free from all kinds of lies demonic conspiracy theories based to give you some insights on the Hebrew language and the Hebrew Scriptures today on thoroughly Jewish Thursday it's time 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.

I welcome welcome to the line of fire and Michael Brown and by the singing voice of Terry Weber 866-34-TRUTH 7884. That's 866-34-TRUTH any Jewish related question you have. Especially if you got one of the Hebrew language with the Hebrew Bible, lipids, translation of particular verse, you've wondered about in the Hebrew Scriptures to be a great day to ask those kinds of questions. 866-34-TRUTH is the number call Kate right right before the last hour and it somebody just tuning in, now right before the last hour and it I I mention something that happened in it, ultra-Orthodox Jewish bakery, a matzoh bakery in in Brooklyn were John K. Sick visited Thompson campaign for Jewish votes to crews had been in a similar setting and seems to have good standing with a number of procedures ultra-Orthodox Jews because they recognize him as a strong, more conservative and they recognize him as a real friend of Israel, self John K sick when in their and I'm sure his rugby sincere service rugby sincere, but boy was with this with this IA faux pas did that he not help because he wanted to help.

Maybe he was just thinking Hayes Jews and Christians. We have this wonderful joint heritage, but he visited Jewish bookstore in the summer, a matzoh bakery in Pacific school in Borough Park. This is ultra Orthodox Jews, Orthodox Jews mentally do not believe in Jesus but but many of them would say the name if they did they spit on the ground that such they despise him and think of him as the destroyer of their people in the one responsible for an ocean of Jewish blood to the centuries because of church persecution of Jews. That's how they would see things so as John Kasich came out of the bakery reporters are there with him. It's a wonderful wonderful holiday for friends in the Jewish community the Passover and then he says this of the great link between the blood that was put above the lampposts he meant doorpost payout of them.

So we've all had a slip of the tongue where you think you said one word he exits in another city.

Great link between the blood that was put above the lampposts doorpost the blood of the Lamb because Jesus Christ is known as the Lamb of God.

It's his blood, we believe this is the report says. In times of Israel that the only saving grace was that his remarks kept getting interrupted by the subway rumbling on the elevated tracks overhead they say hey hey you know this is so this is wonderful that he was unashamed to testify of Jesus through this truth. I don't think he was doing that. I think he was saying hey we have this in common. You love Passover is Jews. We love Passover as Christians. But the really don't want to talk about the blood of Jesus.

If you're there trying to befriend religious Jews, sylphs, one Jewish person told the Jewish telegraph agency is very knowledgeable that he takes his religion very seriously. In context, I thought it was appropriate that some fatherly hey he met well met, well I just from a vendor point will be right back in 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 is thoroughly Jewish Thursday Michael Brown delighted to be 866-34-TRUTH 87884 member: the Jewish related questions, let me go into the Hebrew Scriptures with you a little bit all right if you look in an English translation sometimes will be an introduction or preface and explain who the manuscripts were used to hear the translation principles that we followed her. So we came to the conclusions we did here is the guidance you find in the footnotes in in and in the Bible.

Here in endnote references. Whatever it is and you'll normally see that the primary texts that was used is what's called the Masoretic text. The Masoretic text will be told this is the text of the Hebrew Bible that was used and then manuscript evidence was also drawn from the Dead Sea Scrolls and then it was compared to the ancient translations the Greek Jewish translation, the Septuagint and and other more minor ones and then from the Vulgate, the Latin translation sheet of the Syriac translation the Targum.

The Aramaic translation/paraphrase, that those are all compared for reference, but the primary basis of the translation is the Masoretic text now with that give you the impression that there is one tax called the Masoretic text yes what that is a misnomer.

There is no one Masoretic text, there is the Masoretic textual tradition. The Masoretic textual tradition, which consists of thousands of Masoretic manuscripts. They are in massive agreement with thousands of tiny tiny tiny minor variations, most of which are clearly not the accurate text, but these are meticulously copied. There are thousands of manuscripts that have been found over the centuries, and they are in absolutely essential harmony. That is the Masoretic textual tradition, but there is not one specific manuscript called the Masoretic text you with me so for right let's let's go a little further. Who are the master rates. The Hebrew word Masaru means tradition or transmission. The master rates were transmitters. They were the ones who were copying out the text they they were not innovators. Okay, that they were not innovators. In other words, they were not say okay were developing new traditions over giving you our interpretations. That was not their primary function. Their primary function was to be strives to copy out the texts and what they also did was they added vowel signs to the text so Hebrew as originally was written was just consonance and then consonance with what would be called vowel letters expense a bit more in the first hour of vowel letter would be if I spell out PA in English you tape Paul I can grandpa or just Pa if Y at the end you say Paglia Paglia note you say pay so that why functions as a vowel letter. It changes the pronunciation of the eight correct if if if I old.

It's just think of something that will work here if I if you just so CO abbreviated Excel at Stratford for company or call will put it a WF trick how you don't say: what note how the W is not pronounced by the changes, the pronunciation of the oh so the W is like a vowel letter. The always the vow the W psych eval letter to originally Hebrews written with consonance only, and then with vowel letters added on. If you had an H at the end of the word that could signify that the word ended with if you had a W middle-of-the-road that could signify that there was and who are an older if you had a why they could signify there was an E or in a South but you did not have vowel signs to give you those other details the vowel signs came in hundreds of years after the time of Jesus, and there were masquerades living in in three primary different areas and they each developed a different way of putting in the vowel signs.

Some had it mainly on top of letter some mainly underneath letters so the same sounds that signified in different ways and then they copy out there manuscripts and the ones that we primarily have relied on were the ones that were in Tiberius in Israel, so the Tiberius masquerades, those the ones whose text we rely on that which you have to remember is this even though we don't have manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible going back. We'll have Masoretic manuscripts complete Masoretic manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible going back say 1500 years we will have and therefore back. We don't have an back at the time of Jesus in them. At the whole bottle so how could they be reliable because they were meticulously copied letter for letter letter for letter and end at the end of book she would do accounts I've mentioned this before but it's it's good to hear this again they would to account so you get in the book of Genesis. Okay, how many words written in the book of Genesis that will counted how many verses whether, count how many sections whether similar chapters, count check check check check check out how many letters it. What was the was the middle letter was the middle word was middle verse that's how carefully everything had to be counted out very good for like 15 people your your choosing sides for sports or some like how many people we have neutron accounts keep miscounted so I note that I dug around so we stand there to take what Trott try this out. Take out a page is one page of the Bible and count through on that page.

I am not computer the dry computer. I just just what you do is discount through with your finger.

Okay all the words on the page open the Bible and consider both pages and write down that number then go to his can see if you get the same number or or copy out the first chapter of the gospel. Johnson discount rate up ahead look at your Bible and your right just keep writing ozone don't stop and review every E thought just this keep writing go through it and see if you copied it perfectly sick or ruined an experiment copy out the holy gospel Johnson or any any book from the Bible. It's a little bit longer and and go back and see if you're exactly right yet it's it's more challenging you realize okay now do the same thing with a page of the Bible cannot every letter on page yet dear count against. If you get it right though, calculates this do it. That's what they did for for whole books of the Bible. That's what they did for the five books of Moses, what, when you have Masoretic manuscript and you come to the end of the five books of both. You will then see their it's written that that the five books totaled this many sections called partiality.

This many sections this many verses this many words this many letters and this is the middle verse and this is the middle word and this is the middle letter is civil. What happens if they got it wrong. Obviously, recheck, recheck.

If you have an error somewhere. The manuscript is just very, that it can't be used, but has the name of God and that you don't want it defiling a Bernard or something like that just has to be disposed silky, but where were the earlier manuscripts will as they would get old and worn. They would then be stored or very so they were they they were honored, but they were not perfectly preserved and English of certain weather conditions in certain types of materials that they're knocking to be preserved over many many many centuries.

So these are these are carefully passed on carefully transmitted and when manuscripts are found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. There were some that were found to be the exact same tradition represented among the masquerades, so you're talking about a gap of 1100 years from Dead Sea Scrolls to the earliest complete Masoretic Bible we have, which is about a thousand years old. Okay your German 1100 year gap, but some of the manuscripts were letter for letter identical letter for letter. I identical, why because they copied them so carefully, so it is somewhat of a misnomer to refer to the Masoretic text better to refer to the Masoretic text will tradition composed of thousands of manuscripts but with massive detailed harmony 866-34-TRUTH 87884. More about the Hebrew language Hebrew Bible. When we come back and answers to Jewish related questions is related questions, even Islamic related questions about his expert on that my best to answer where I can write back. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of moral cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown looking to the line of fire of the spirit of the Jewish day right after the broadcast, literally right after the broadcast I get into my car with my assistant, Dylan, and he drives me to the airport to fly to London Michael straight to London. It's one stop somewhere layover and then London and then Saturday is a great day that's going to be an all day Passover event is hosted by barbarian Boettcher Siegel vision for Israel and Joseph storehouse they they help ministering to the needs of the poor terrorist victims of terror and others in the land of Israel and there is there is poverty there are real needs so it's it's a great great ministry so I'll be I'll be doing some special teaching during the sadness that you register for the multivendor from London by all means try to get there on Saturday and then Sunday preaching for Clive and Colin Urquhart Sunday morning, Sunday night, 10 AM 6 PM. Really looking forward to these meetings in England and then doubling fly back on Monday so just in and out will be able do a lot in the city but will have a great time of ministry there and for time to get to speak for details.

Those of you leaving listening from London by all means join me if you can. The details from a website asked her to Brown a SKU around the Lord and either will just say itinerary or click with his contact and you'll see itinerary there right on the straight to the phone.

Starting Greensboro, North Carolina. Jim, you are on quickly. Welcome to the broadcast good afternoon Mark Brown hey I error correct the payment of the good diet was the lack of premier.

I know you ate a lot of food lamb and whatnot but in terms of the letter W and also what about the neo-internal back in the time as well as going back to the time of the Abraham notebook okay.

What we don't have a tremendous amount of details all of that is certainly lamb was going to be eaten at the Passover meal and 30 cups of wine that were drunk but the the Passover meal has since been the Passover meal has has since been elaborated greatly and their various elements to it. You have bitter herbs to remind you of of of that the bitterness of the time, and in Egypt. Of course you have the matzoh the unleavened bread which would've been part of the meal, you do have the lamb shank but then your use of these premises and egg difficult in the where the egg came from just after Easter. I gathered get an egg in the Passover celebration, but it's unlikely that all of those things were current in Jesus day, but as for that the meal meals that were were eaten hey Jim, just got Matt I it's the wrong cliff.

The times of Israel wants is the wrong post. What will will find the right one and in a moment. Sorry to do that but but Jim we knowingly in the ancient world that aside from the Jewish side of not eating unclean foods listed in Leviticus 11 Deuteronomy 14 so you know not not eating shellfish and pork and and things like that. We know that eating meat was not the norm that you can have meat every day that this was something of celebration. You have fish but he would have meat but if you remember Luke the 15th chapter kill the fatted calf that was a special celebration. So eating meat is not the way were used to doing in America were some people have meat in 3456 days a week, seven days a week with absolute not the way it would've been, it would have been much more grain-based plant-based fruit-based natural based as as many folks try to live today there there are people who talk about the maker's diet, with the Genesis diet for the hallelujah diet and the Christians have written about these things talking about eating the way folks would've eaten scripture but it was much more natural plant-based fruit-based grain-based other would've been fish.

Of course over the fish that that could be eaten and then meet with a been more for celebratory purposes, the Passover meal itself Jim which is called the satyr that developed over period of time and as I said it's unlikely that all of the elements that we are familiar with today. A would've been capped at that time these things were developed by tradition over period of centuries are. Yes sir, I thank you for the call. Much appreciated. I 866-34-TRUTH the amount that the article I was looking for that I want to post on Facebook was the one about the Muslim general being being installed is in the deputy police position and being celebrated in Israel at Jamaal heart Cluj was, is, and that's the one I was looking for wanted to post on on Facebook of here yeah yeah is not just Bernie Sanders but the annual US report on human rights says nearly half of Palestinians killed by Israel were not carrying out attacks and many times did not pose a threat to life. This is as reported on times of Israel. Today, the Obama administration accused Israel of using excessive force against Palestinians during a wave of deadly violence in an annual report that pointed to a global decline in human rights. According to number cited the report.

149 Palestinians were killed in 2015 advisory security forces, but only 77 were in the course of attacking Israelis now Israel.

Of course, will dispute this vehemently.

There is no question there is no question that with the random knife attacks that took place in his room were some teenager just come and start stabbing another teenager, kill or at some some managers run by an older woman and just stab her and keep running and and and there. There were many fatalities and many many many injuries and horrific right through this year horrific horrific stories like a mother of six and in the past and attacker starts stabbing her and she and actually only to fight him off which she has to keep the knife in her so he can pull it out until the rest of her family and that he takes often she dies a minute. The funeral the daughters to solving. She listed on that day, she couldn't of helped her mother that yes when all this was happening here and there. There may have been cases where someone was trigger-happy. It could be. In other words, maybe the person had a knife and they were not about to attack what they just stab three people on the street and they made a lunging move. Yet even though they were 10 feet away, yet they may been shot dead. That may have happened and Israeli sentiments to see them die would've been high, no question about no question about it, but America is much as America stands with Israel a certain level has hardly been a true friend of Israel and when when some of these accusations came for premises and Yahoo is not having responded angrily to the letter existence report March speaking of letter to John Kerry from extremists on the other side. 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 66343 here again is Dr. Michael Brown first recruitment of the Jews, and I want why the individuals is so closely tied to the city yes yes I mention this in the first hour.

I'm going to go right to the phones and I'm gonna start in St. Augustine, Florida Joshua walking to the line of fire. I like yes yes like I'm in your Philistine, you know, messianic congregations make a big deal and old villain from my studies� Wrapping up, but died of the client X another book and prayer that wasn't any book the candle were used on the Shabbat service but Jesus even more collectively villain or that he worked Up, you agree with that or do you have any other insight on that yet that the teeth or that the yarmulke of the head covering that definitely that definitely came about later. There is no reference to tube that we know that the high priest world when I can write that but otherwise know there's a reference in the Talmud hundreds of years after Jesus to one relevance of God that he would need to go a few feet without his head covered a but no, that's a later tradition isolated custom even a thousand years after Jesus the report to the Jewish world is not customary to cover the head right so so in it and in any case.

In any case, if if you if you have a picture of Jesus when yarmulke that would be anachronistic. That would be out of place. I saw the same way the prayer shawl, he would not bring pressure however he clearly wore a friend. He wore fringed garment in the right right that was according to the Torah law and you could make a good case for him using the the phylacteries feeling the prayer boxes on on his left arm, and on his head. We know they were, convincing scrolls me know he rebuke the religious leaders for going too far with the weather himself. Maybe yes, maybe no don't know for sure that was the traditional development don't know for sure. Thanks for the question. The line of fire with your host Dr. Michael Brown voice of more cultural and spiritual revolution. Here again is Dr. Michael Brown looking to thoroughly Jewish Thursday, 866-34-TRUTH my joy to be speaking with you Dave that usually questions we've got Jewish answers. We are Raquel South, Matthew welcome to modifier Dr. Brown hey I got a question about it. Forward talk about Florida on invertebrate of the sort of matter at the dinner monograph. I had a friend that almost won't be interpreted entire is their entire generation of Israelite I get not quite." They say will not have salvation. So my question is know what relating to get eternal separation or just them entering into the land of Canaan.

Yes, certainly it certainly the latter it was it was that they were not going to enter the land of Canaan. Of course, that that was the judgment, and they died in the wilderness, as to their eternal salvation is not addressed in the context at all nor can we deduce something from it. They did not enter the promised land. They look Moses died before and Aaron and Miriam. They all died. They can enter the promised land deserving.

They were they going to hell course not, of course, not us. Another is, it is not a damning indictment on the entire the entire generation that they'll want to help, but they all died in the wilderness and that would've meant that that that many of them would've died in a fairly young you know if you are if you are 35 years old he came out of Egypt about it with Doug 375 your 21 you came out of Egypt to a dog 361 right so operator sure thing. Sure things better.

All right 866-34-TRUTH art.

Somehow Josh will we cut off prematurely. My apologies.

Your other question, go ahead. Yeah, I got I got I got a bloodless payment circumcision. I was circumcised all the candles know I yeah I'm sorry I didn't I don't answer that you might want one other thing I wanted about Jake boy at the candle all right all okay so the pain. The six pins cutting off the yeah we we know that's fairly early on. There is the rabbinic prayer that says that that God commanded us to sanctify the Sabbath with the lighting of the candles and that that's considered an actual commandment. It's abominable how the national Shabbat, you commanded us to 22 Kindle that the Sabbath lights. The question is what was that Commandant was never commanded in Scripture which would've meant that it is a rabbinic tradition that became the command because it was considered to be somehow given by God are inspired by God but do it. Look, we know on a practical level that you would light a candle, you would not be lighting a candle. Once the Sabbath began right so common sense would tell you lighting candles to to burn or or you know an oil lamp to burn you before the Sabbath starts so that you have light during the night is much as you cannot like any other night right and then you get up with Dave know that a certain point when you get up at at the daylight. But having said that, was there a prayer and a ritual associated with it.

I don't think you can say that it went back that for we don't know for sure, but I II do not believe you can argue that the prayer went that far back. So what candles use it would not not necessarily as a special sign of the Sabbath, but just know she's candles night you know when that likely announce he could have some light candles and lamps as they with clamps. Things like that or what they go out of the certain point and then you just wouldn't rekindle it in the middle of the night. You wouldn't do that and then at daybreak you have light for the rest of the day, but was there the prayer the way we pray today.

I don't think you can prove that right Jeremiah Jacobs trouble yeah right, whatever I visited him at the Jewish believer since my report back to 1970. Whenever I went the messianic congregations that were what I would say look I have the freedom not to wear it but or do the candles or data, knowledge, and usually there was a problem and not a want to cause a problem but I want to be scriptural and I didn't quite understand that but but would Jacobs trouble Alaska that they break the Everyman like I'm a Jacobs trouble.

That's the great tribulation.

According to what my study of Scripture and and possibly yours that you could elucidate more. Not that that's the great tribulation indicative trouble is that correct apply to but it's not the primary context. I wrestled with that in my Jeremiah commentary and injure my the 30th chapter. I looked at his carefully as I could in context and first and foremost, it has to be talking about what happened to Jerusalem, the Jewish people with the time of the destruction of the Temple and the exile to Babylon.

That's the first and foremost reference it's impossible given the context of Jeremiah, the promises of judgment back then that were imminent that Jeremiah lived to see and the taking was people to exile, and the promise of return and restoration. The first primary reference must be there. Okay. However, the way the text is written in, and I have a really dug into it deeply in my Jeremiah commentary the way the text was written indicates that it has future application that there had been many times of Jacobs trouble the Holocaust would've been another notable one and there could well be a final one.

But here's the difference all around the world. We could see that they'll be shaking. According to the Scriptures as I understand it will be parallel extremes on the one hand, extremes of God's moving in the harvest and the outpouring of the Spirit. On the other had extremes of Satanic activity in the midst of all of it. God shaking everything that can be shaken, so it seems that there is a problem of a promise of severe worldwide calamity shaking at the end of the age. In the midst which God works mightily difference for Israel is that Israel's promised deliverance out of.

In other words, it's not that Israel's going at the worst of it, but Israel's promised deliverance out of it so I sorry I see Jeremiah 30 has a template beginning with the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC by the Babylonians and then through the centuries that it has been a recurring theme of trouble and then deliverance out of it. Yeah, you see Jacob's name being used even after the name change.

That is the only name that name change in Scripture that I can ascertain that all names used quite often. Even though the new name was given so it's could specifically refer to the unregenerate that Joe Jacob and the Allstate not not transform the future and for national religious and ethnic Israel yeah it's it's an interesting thought. The problem is that you just have Jacob used several hundred times and you can't universally say it means Psalm 14 let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad there obviously synonymous a Psalm 20 May the God of Jacob support you yes or references to the God of Jacob and God ruling over Jacob Bennett, a testimony in Jacob, and then even in the in in the book of Jeremiah how the house of Jacob is used synonymously with house of Israel, so it seems to just be in another way of referring to Israel. You'll even see in Jeremiah 30 alternating between Jacob and Israel.

So it's it's interesting that that is the name that does continue, and I think there's more to figure for me.

I think you got a great Syria just nothing works all the time. I think sometimes it might apply to that but Joshua, I would say I would say that in reality it's a good question to ask this Jacob have a different significance than Israel and any passages or why was that name used after Israel's name had been changed. We even haven't used it in the New Testament at and finally enough. The church never says where the new Jacob through the air right that they never said that if if you look in the in Romans 1126 and this wailers will be saved as written the deliverable conference on who will banish ungodliness from Jacob so so all Israel and and there is Jacob pay Joshua appreciate the questions very much.

Thanks a lot. All right 866-34-TRUTH it out.

That was my bad it if you call in one day and the next day you think of another question you want to ask and call in, you'll be told, sorry we have a two-week rule must be feared of the callers and and to make sure that no one trusted dominate the show with your questions or points of view but I'm busy days when the phone lines are completely jammed and it's difficult or impossible to do to get through that. Obviously a case like that.

We want to be fair so that's what we have a two-week rule, but when I cut someone off and forget that I thought I answered all the questions and onto the next call. So that's why we brought Joshua back on. That was because my bad. I gave these questions and I didn't answer all abdominal answers. I will be right back for the Expo line of 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. I will. We are at a time through Jewish Thursday right after this show, literally 10 minutes from now get my car with my assistant, Dylan had to the airport and head to London. So, if anywhere near London Anglia, London, England, London, England to join the Saturday and Sunday for special meetings will be in different locations will be in for some a website Esther Kerensky dear Brown, the Lord, under itinerary. Okay before I get back to the phones I mentioned in the first hour that the brother of Mahmoud Abbas, the head of the Palestinian authority is being treated. Even though this and in Qatar Cutter is it's called now even though even though he lives there.

He's being treated, diagnosed with cancer condition and inexpensive private hospital in Tel Aviv. Abbas's brother. Okay Mahmoud Abbas's brother so you think okay that's no Israel really know they're there helping out in reaching out to this man in need. Well, this is Israel national news reports Housing Authority Chairman Locklin Abbas may have claimed is really to B2B so he extends his hand in peace.

But as far talk movement may clear the terror remains true goal thought talk. Just this week and two weeks ago took to its official Facebook page to glorify to female thought talk member suicide bombers, who between them murdered eight Israelis and wounded over 100 others. Back in 2002, as reported by Palestinian media watch on Thursday which translated reveal the posts having one is a hero and the other is a bride of Palestine, University or tax thought talk and it both post with the phrase glory and eternity to our righteous martyrs repeat they between them murdered eight Israelis and wounded over 100 others. Back in 2002. One of those audit was I out all across who was at the age of 17 was the youngest female Palestinian suicide bomber March 29, 2002. She detonated near to some supermarket murdering two victims were the end of 28 so Abbas is organization is saying hey were extending a hand of peace, his brothers being treated in Israeli hospital and of his own organizations putting out these murderous statements boil boy's. The reality there. The middle he said to say we go to Des Moines Iowa and data welcome to the line of fire background. Arthur okay Luke chapter populate the issue arranging into a herd of cleaning. Number 108 Rehan Payne heard farming and whatever in Israel like that and not only get started and that was just starting Ali touched pork everything or Scripture that we live authentically and do not say is unclean on a minor quality that was needed for most things, including paying all I'm trying to get me cochaired what they eat what they can't eat straight.

Sure thing. Okay so you hang up and keep listening.

So glad to answer your questions in the let's go first.

Back to biblical law right biblical law.

If you go to if you go to Leviticus chapter 11 in Deuteronomy chapter 14 Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 you will find there. The list of animals that could not be there a couple of them here and there a couple of them here and there that we don't know exactly what kind of bird was being referred to, or something like that.

Otherwise we know these animals and for sure pork was always honest. Okay so without question. Pork was prohibited in ancient Israel and to this day, religious Jews will not eat pork religious dude rather rather go without food than eat pork. So that's the first thing this nothing new about that that's that's the way it's always been. Now you've had secular Israelis. You can go to to Israel today and and you can get pork among secular Israelis, but religious Jews would absolutely never touch it and it's it's frowned on through all of the Hebrew Bible and is no possibility that just a normal course of life, religious Jews living in Jesus day would've eaten pork so that's that's absolutely clear and certain so what you what about asked him where God's is what I call Queen Domenico unclean. The context there is Gentiles context. There is don't think of the Gentiles is unclean anymore because God accepted and through Jesus. There's no evidence that Peter went out after that and and and head ahead of pork sandwich or something like that or you know a pepperoni pizza gives him more contemporary know it was spiritually speaking.

Nothing the case though God never gave the dietary laws to the whole world is going to be debated which precluded me. God never gave the dietary laws to the whole world. God never said to the whole world all you will have to keep disease were given to Israel to keep them separate from the nations of the maven health reasons as well, but that was primarily whether given so I don't believe that a New Testament believer is under bondage to this.

They should consider whether they think is good reason to live by ancient Israel's laws are dietary laws, but there's no binding commandment you're free in that sense, what you eat can't defile you. Jesus makes a plain Mark seven Matthew 15 as well. The food can't defy your interview does mean Edith, but it can actually defile you.

As for pigs in ancient Jewish world there could've been Gentile herders. There, or else very, very nonreligious Jews in a totally nonreligious area. Otherwise they could have been Gentile herders and in either case it was it was appropriate for the pigs to drown the demons when into them. They were hardly beloved creatures. So I hope that answers those questions where they could have well been Gentile pick herders.

Otherwise, it was certainly not the thing that he any observant Jewish committee anyway would've tolerated apps absolutely not right friends.
