Hello, everyone. I haven't done one of these in a while where it's just you and I sitting here,

but I thought it was time to do it. Spend some time out of, out of town with friends this past weekend,

and a topic came up that I thought that I should,

not that I should, but I wanted to talk about.

And, you know, that topic is what is considered to be a blessing in the Bible

that gives the modern state of Israel created in 1948.

carte blanche, or it's supposed to be given carte blanche by Christians who do anything they want.

Genesis 12.3 says,

I will bless those who bless you and curse him,

who curses you, and in you,

all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

And basically the promise is made to Abram

that he will bless those who bless him from God.

The promises that he will bless those and curse those who curse him.

The descendants of it has been extended to his descendants,

Isaac and Jacob, who were renamed Israel.

And for about 150 years, Christians have been saying that that applies to the, quote-unquote,

the Jews.

And it's quite possible that you'll find one or two people,

maybe three people in the previous 1850 years

that had written about that,

had come to that conclusion maybe on their own.
