It's Friday, October 13, 2023.

I'm Albert Moeller, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from

a Christian world view.

So much going on, of course, in the world and the most important story right now is what's

happening there in Israel.

I discussed with several colleagues what this means in a panel discussion at the Southern

Baptist Theological Seminary in Boyce College that has just been posted.

This entitled, how should Christians think about the attack upon Israel?

I think you will appreciate the deep background that we go into in the discussion, explicitly

in Christian world view terms, you can find it simply by going to AlbertMoeller.com.

We'll be tracking developments thereafter with you.

Meanwhile, coming back to the United States, there's a really big story.

And in any other news cycle or news week, it would be a giant story.

In proportionality, it's really big because we have a sitting United States Senator who

has now been indicted on the charge that he conspired to act as a foreign agent for

another country.

In this case, the other country is Egypt.

And in this case, the Senator is Democratic New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez.

You may recall that he was charged this last month for bribery, for taking bribes and

for doing so in light of political favors.

He was charged and indicted along with his wife.

And the involvement is really taudary.
