Hey friends, how are we doing today? We hanging in there?

Listen, I just want to say at the beginning, I know how heavy the conflict between Palestine and Israel, really between Hamas and the Israeli government have been.

I've gotten a lot of D.M. from so many of you, several of which are in the Middle East.

Some of you have friends in the Gaza Strip.

I talked to rabbis who are just devastated by the loss of life

due to the surprise attack from Hamas.

There's just nothing good to report in this situation.

The death toll is only climbing a lot of kids on both sides of that conflict are dying.

And I will tell you, it's been in my head. I've dreamt about this the past two nights.

Full transparency yesterday at my desk I came across a picture of a parent with their child who is no longer on this earth and I had to put my phone down I just wept I mean tears hit my

keyboard I was just sobbing uncontrollably at the loss of life, children who did not deserve what happened to them.

Israeli babies who didn't deserve what happened to them,

Palestinian babies who did not deserve what happened to them. Palestinian babies who do not deserve what happened to them.

So this definitely is bigger than just me trying to give you content. I understand that.

But I am trying to give you some sense of understanding to some of the ingredients that are going into this current situation that we're all watching from afar feeling really helpless that we can't do anything to stop it.

So that being said on this part two,

I brought on Dan Hummel.

He is a leading voice, at least in the academic worlds that he is around on the history and the understanding of Christian Zionism.

What does that mean? What are some of the background pieces that have given us what we have seen in our even

to the whole consciousness, right? Recently Greg Locke came out and said some

pretty outlandish things about about how if you don't always stand with the nation of Israel, you're just asking

for curses to be heaped upon you.
