    Dear brother Todd, when I first listen to you, many years back, I hesitated….Wretched was so different from what I was used to. Now I’m so thankful I decided to put you to the test of the Scriptures and that the spirit of God helped me to listen without condemnation and prejudice, for you have been such a blessing and influence in helping me understand so many topics, such as the war in Israel. May the Lord Jesus keep blessing your ministry, so you can keep blessing others.❤

      This is my first time listening and I am listening with a wise and discerning heart... I try to remove my self emotionally from the situation and look at it as an outsider looking in and I look for consistency, sincerity, and read body language... I know that I dont trust any mainstream media. I would hope that I was guided here not by mistake. I feel like things are revealed to me in its proper time. I've known things before it was made known socially, by the discernment and wisdom granted to me by something higher than me. It seems to me we truly are at at precipice in this time. I know that it's all already written and we are all just visitors....

    A complicated subject indeed, but I think the New Testament is pretty explicit that Christ and his Church (comprised of Jewish and Gentile believers) is the true Israel of God, not one particular ethnicity or nationality of people (Ephesian 2:15-16, 1 Peter 2:9-10), and that "Christians" (Jews or Gentiles who repent and trust in Christ alone for forgiveness) are the true sons of Abraham who inherit (through faith, not ethnicity) all the promises that God proclaimed to Abraham (Galatians 3:7-9). So the issue isn't how God "transferred" the promises to the Church, but how God revealed, in Christ, who the promises were truly meant for to begin with.

      There is still a plan for Israel, whether that is a plan that is good towards us or a plan that will cause hostilities towards us. We cannot be for sure whether Israel will become a good nation or not. If God did not have a plan for Israel, it would not need to be rebuilt.

      I get what you’re trying to say brother. But remember, apart from Christ there is no peace. And anything apart from Christ that seems to have peace is only perceived; It isn’t real. This is why we must proclaim the gospel to all the nations. This is why, witnessing, and sharing our faith is so important. Yes, we are to pray for the will of God to be done on a daily basis. But we must also obey Him & follow His commands and He tells us to first disciple our families, our wives, & our children. And all throughout our communities.

    Todd, thank you, thank you, thank you for this most balanced, loving, and careful discussion of the two (generally speaking) "camps," and the need to truly consider that there is indeed something larger going on in Israel right now (though we may only see through that glass dimly, too). I am a Jewish Christian, so I don't excuse the fact that my heart is breaking very much for my "kinsmen according to the flesh" right now. But regardless of that, it has truly saddened (and, I'll admit, angered) me to see and hear of some responses from those who claim faith in the Jewish Messiah either being dismissive and downright hateful in their response to the plight of Israel and her murdered ones or seeing this as an opportunity to "dunk" on those "dastardly dispensationalists." Would that God would grant more voices like your own on this issue. I thank you and love you, my brother, and pray that the bloodshed stops and that the Gospel of Christ is made all the more clear to Jews and Arabs in the land, even now, for this indeed remains the only true hope and peace, for He is the Prince of both!

      God made promises to, and about, the literal seed and descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
      But are their descendants to be found in modern Jewry?
      Jew is a clumsy word.
      When you see that word in the bible, it can either mean a true Israelite, a true Judahite, someone from the Roman province of Judea regardless of race and ethnicity, or a follower of Judaism.
      Secular and biblical history tells us that Judah was taken into captivity and exile by Babylon.
      Whilst there, they race mixed and their Hebrew faith became corrupted into what today is known as Judaism. It was in Babylon that the Talmud began.
      Judah, along with her now mixed throng of people, and her corrupted religion, returned to where her kingdom had been.
      Between the testaments, Maccabee leader John Hyrcanus forcibly converted Edomites to practice Judaism and they became Jews.
      Edomites are descended from Esau and were to be enemies of true Israel.
      In Jesus time, the ruling class such as King Herod, and the Pharisees were Edomites.
      No wonder Jesus argued with them and said they didn't listen to him as they were not of his flock.
      Later, the Asiatic Khazar kingdom converted en masse to Judaism.
      So now we have many Jews claiming land promised to the descendants of Jacob Israel but who themselves are not so descended.
      Their only claim is to practice a religion which is a corruption of the faith of Moses.
      So be careful about who you support in the middle East, and why.

      Where does the Bible say your first paragraph? Do you even know history well enough to track who actually live in Israel now? Do you realize that the Genesis 12:7 promise to Abraham was made to Christ as the single seed of the heir of the promise, as Galatians 3:16 says? And by extension, Christians, as Galatians 3:29 says?
      Christians have a right to the land. The land is 98% judaist, atheist, and muslim. Those there now do most certainly NOT have a right to the land, despite what their geneology says, as 1 Timothy 1:4 explains to avoid meaningless geneologies [because the new covenant is here], as it was about geneologies before the new covenant.

      Also in Jeremiah 29 which again is another prophecy of the scattering and re-gathering of the Jews.
      Finally in Romans 11: 11-32 which talks about the differences between the Jews and the Gentile believers - that the Gentiles have been grafted into the Kingdom of God through Christ, and that Israel has had their hearts hardened against God. In the last days they will be redeemed.
      You say it is a false zionist belief, but it is not false whatsoever. The fact that biblical prophecy about the Jews is unfolding before our very eyes shows that the scriptures which speak of their regathering are very much applicable to Israel of today, proving God's promise to them still stands.
      28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[h] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there's good news. Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (Jn. 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Eph. 2:8,9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized.

    The key is this: how do the Spirit-inspired NT apostles interpret the OT prophecies concerning Israel in the NT? For example, how do we interpret how we in the new covenant relate to Jeremiah 31 (cf. Eze. 36-37)? The text there says nothing about uniting the church, but only ethnic Israelites; yet the NT seems to apply this repeatedly to the church. I won't give my take, but it's worth reading and considering. Also, how does Paul especially relate to and describe ethnic Israel in his letters (and not just in Romans 9-11)? As helpful as the literal-grammatical method is, we need to understand is not the only hermeneutical tool we should use: typological and redemptive-historical (and even "allegorical", cf. Gal. 4) are just as important and necessary for understanding how we as Christians are to read both the NT and the OT. I would argue for an "apostolic hermeneutic" when interpreting the OT, and let us follow their example (see for example how James quotes Amos 9 in Acts 15 [the Jerusalem counsel where the Jewish church was thinking through how the Gentiles 'fit in' now in redemptive history]).

    Paul taught in Romans 11 the true Israel is the church, Jew and Gentile. God's chosen people began before national ethnic Israel with Abraham, as Paul explains in Romans. Moreover, ethnicity has nothing to do with it, but is by election of God as Jacob was chosen, not Esau, according to God. Also, God destroyed the 10 northern tribes, then in 70 AD finished off the southern tribes, establishing the church as the people of God, those by faith in Christ... period. There is no supersessionism, as Paul proves in himself, an ethnic Jew that is found in Christ, again, Romans.
    Lastly, Joshua has God completing the land promise. Joshua 11, "So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war."

Taking binary stance of whose side are we on serves no purpose here. Should we be for Israel? Should we be against Palestinians? Even the captain of the Army of the Lord would not take a stand when asked by Joshua. Some might say, they are standing with God, and that could be presumptuous. Would God not love even those who slayed his son? If anyone insist the enemies are beyond redemption, then so is everyone else. Historically, wars against ancient Israel typically signifies judgment from God to turn her heart back to Him. The manner Israel treated Palestinians is not exactly the most honorable even taking the most optimistic observations.

      God made promises to, and about, the literal seed and descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
      But are their descendants to be found in modern Jewry?
      Jew is a clumsy word.
      When you see that word in the bible, it can either mean a true Israelite, a true Judahite, someone from the Roman province of Judea regardless of race and ethnicity, or a follower of Judaism.
      Secular and biblical history tells us that Judah was taken into captivity and exile by Babylon.
      Whilst there, they race mixed and their Hebrew faith became corrupted into what today is known as Judaism. It was in Babylon that the Talmud began.
      Judah, along with her now mixed throng of people, and her corrupted religion, returned to where her kingdom had been.
      Between the testaments, Maccabee leader John Hyrcanus forcibly converted Edomites to practice Judaism and they became Jews.
      Edomites are descended from Esau and were to be enemies of true Israel.
      In Jesus time, the ruling class such as King Herod, and the Pharisees were Edomites.
      No wonder Jesus argued with them and said they didn't listen to him as they were not of his flock.
      Later, the Asiatic Khazar kingdom converted en masse to Judaism.
      So now we have many Jews claiming land promised to the descendants of Jacob Israel but who themselves are not so descended.
      Their only claim is to practice a religion which is a corruption of the faith of Moses.
      So be careful about who you support in the middle East, and why.

    The church has not replaced Israel (better known as Replacement Theology) though many Christians teach and believe that the church has. Scripture has stated, using Paul here, that when the number of the Gentiles coming to Christ has been fulfilled, then it switches back to Israel for their salvation.
    Romans 11:25, "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,"
    Don't see Israel being smacked off God's plan for redemption here. Also, there are many, many Old Testament references to God saving Israel in the end. Many times, Israel has been defiant to God, and God punished them but always kept a faithful remnant for Himself! That's key here, people. But god NEVER once said that Israel was no longer part of God's salvation plan; never!

    I’m so glad you said that, “our hearts should be broken for Israel.” Mine definitely is. They are the apple of our Father’s eye. Why would it not break our hearts? I’ve had someone look at me as if I’m crazy when I said “it breaks my heart.” It feels so good to see other Christians broken over this.

    Aren't Ashkenazi Jews a people who converted to Judaism in the middle ages? So they are not even ethnically old testament Jews. They are descended from Ashkenaz from the line of Japheth and are from the Black Sea region. How then can these prophecies be about them? Do we even know who are old testament jews today?

    I miss the format when you guys were sitting in a crusty radio studio. Content still great as always! Thanks for the video!

    It seems very hypocritical for Christians to proclaim love and peace as core Christian tenets, while also supporting the atrocities committed by Netanyahu; I'm not trying to be provocative, just an honest observation.
