Hey friends, welcome to the line of fire. Michael Brown, so glad to spend this time with you.

We're going to be looking at a very contentious issue today, an issue that's causing a lot of division,

both in the church and even in the broader society. My goal is not to get your blood boiling.

My goal is to illuminate. My goal is to edify. My goal is to help us

with our understanding. So maybe if we come in rather than, I'm for you, I'm against you, I agree,

I disagree. Maybe we can just come in and say, Lord, give us insight. You have a topic that

we'll be dealing with today. We where sincere brothers and sisters who love Jesus,

who love the word, have differences of interpretation and understanding.

And these things work out in very practical ways when it comes to the state of Israel.

And believers, how should they feel about Israel today? Does God call Christians

to support Israel today? What does the Bible actually say? What is scriptural logic say? What is

straight interpretation of scripture say? So I'm going to do my best to break this down honestly

and openly. And then a little later in the

broadcast, we'll take your questions. If you're watching on YouTube, which I imagine most of you

are right now, if you're watching on YouTube during the live chat, you can just post your

questions. I'd recommend you wait a little while to post so I can lay out a number of things

scripturally. And then I'll be taking the question, so I'll be seeing them coming in a little while to post so I can lay out a number of things scripturally,

and then I'll be taking the question, so I'll be seeing them coming in a little bit later.

If you have a question, just write first at the line of fire.

This way it'll stand out from any chat going back and forth, and just make sure it's on the topic

of Christians and Israel, what the Bible

says about the Jewish people. Just keep the questions on topic there. We'll get to as many
