Professor Peter Kuznick joined the Veterans for Peace No Nukes group to discuss the movie Oppenheimer. Professor Kuznick provided the most in-depth analysis we have heard so far pointing out the many important and factual parts of the movie and the deficiencies, Professor Kuznick also provides a great history lesson about those times including a brief reference to Henry Wallace and how different things might have been. He also critiques several other movies that do not meet muster and refers to the thoughts of his friend and collaborator Oliver Stone. We finish with Joan Baez.

Historian Peter Kuznick joins Mickey to discuss the new Christopher Nolan movie “Oppenheimer.” While his overall evaluation is positive, Kuznick notes that the movie fails to address the crucial fact that there was no military need to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. Kuznick also reminds listeners that had Henry Wallace not been replaced as Vice-President by Harry Truman, Wallace would have succeeded to the presidency upon FDR's death in April 1945, and history would've taken a different path (Kuznick believes that Wallace would not have used the bomb, nor started the Cold War). In the second half of the show, Peter Phillips and Bill Tiwald remind listeners of the catastrophe that even a “limited” nuclear war would unleash on humanity, as well as the human and financial costs of maintaining nuclear stockpiles. They explain how New Mexico has borne a disproportionate share of the nuclear burden, and talk about an event they helped organize — the Albuquerque Peace Festival (www.abqpeacefest.org), taking place on August 5. The post OPPENHEIMER MOVIE / WW II LIE / NUCLEAR INSANITY / ABQ PEACE FESTIVAL – Project Censored – August 4, 2023 appeared first on KPFA.

Oppenheimer is a creative tour de force that sparks a necessary debate about today's nuclear weapons. U.S. media still defends the false justification for a nuclear attack on Japan and the “first strike” underpinnings of U.S. policy. Peter Kuznick in discussion with Paul Jay.

For the first segment of this week's show, Mickey talks with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges shares some of the stories from his newest book, The Greatest Evil Is War. The book is based on interviews with dozens of victims of war, including families of soldiers, wounded veterans, and civilian survivors of battle. Hedges lays out the many costs of war, and having seen it up close, calls for its unequivocal end across the world. In the second half-hour, historian Peter Kuznick explains the often untold historical legacy of the recently-deceased former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev. Kuznick says that Gorbachev not only brought vital reforms to the USSR, but made unprecedented arms-reduction proposals that might have put the world on course to complete nuclear disarmament, had the Reagan Administration not rejected the ideas. Both guests call out the horrors of war and the need for a seriously rejuvenated global movement for peace. Notes: Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist with a long career as a foreign correspondent around the world, including battle zones like Iraq and the Balkans. His books include War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, Death of the Liberal Class, America: The Farewell Tour, and his new work The Greatest Evil Is War. Peter Kuznick is Professor of History at American University in Washington DC, and also directs the Nuclear Studies Program at that institution. He and Oliver Stone co-wrote The Untold History of the United States. Image by Annette Jones from Pixabay

Jimmy Kimmel got a lot of negative feedback on social media after his attempt at comedy during the recent Emmy Awards fell flat.  Kimmel pretended to be intoxicated and unconscious on stage while Quinta Brunson, the first African-American female writer to win an Emmy, was accepting her award.  Show producer Scotty Mednick joins Sanchez to discuss Kimmel's negative blow-back, and then author and professor Peter Kuznick joins the show as Sanchez switches gears to analyze the way the world is turning its back on Russian President Vladimir Putin.  Both Sanchez and Kuznick wonder if it's time to start negotiating with Putin instead of shutting him out.   RSN_S1_E0038 Learn more about your ad choices.

Looking ahead to the upcoming annual conference of the Alliance for Community Media West, Mickey speaks with two long-time activists in the community-media movement- Sue Buske and Tracy Rosenberg; they discuss the future of public-access cable channels, associated public/local media, and the role community media centers can play centering marginalized voices in local news deserts, especially in hyper-artisan times. The ACM West's 2022 conference is taking place in San Jose, CA from March 30 through April 1. In the second half of the show, we learn about the iconic, pathbreaking civil-rights activist, lawyer, clergy, and feminist, Pauli Murray (1910-1985), from Simki Kuznick, author of a newly-published Murray biography. That which Murray fought for foreshadowed and impacted many of the civil rights campaigns that continue to this day. Notes: Tracy Rosenberg is Executive Director of Media Alliance, a San-Francisco-based advocacy organization involved in a wide array of campaigns, including net neutrality, personal privacy, and many other issues. Sue Buske is Vice-Chair of ACM West, and heads a consulting firm (the Buske Group) assisting local governments and nonprofit organizations on cable-TV matters. The California Assembly bills discussed on the show are AB2635 and AB2748. Simki Kuznick is the author of "Pauli Murray's Revolutionary Life" (from Rootstock Publishing). While living in California, she helped found the group Interracial Pride. Now based in the Washington, DC area, she is a writer and editor, holds an MFA in Creative Writing.

We are excited to have with us the acclaimed Author, Simki Kuznick ! She is here to talk about her inspiring and timely book:  ‘Pauli Murray's Revolutionary Life'.  It is the riveting story of an African American woman, born in 1910, who blazed through the barriers of race and gender decades before the Civil Rights and Women's Movements. You can learn more about her book via Rootstock Publishing at: https://www.rootstockpublishing.com/rootstock-books/pauli-murrays-revolutionary-life

At the top of the first hour, Zachary Siegel, freelance journalist and a journalism fellow at Northeastern University's Health in Justice Action Lab, joins John and Michelle to talk about Biden's Harm Reduction Bill. The measure is not without controversy. A provision provides funding for things like needle exchange programs for individuals suffering from drug addiction. Many Republicans have voiced opposition to the $30 million health care bill. Zachary explains why the bill should pass and why it matters, and points out that the goal should be to focus on reducing the demand for opioids as they are potent relievers of emotional and physical pain.Then, the Misfits were joined by Dr. Jack Rasmus. He's a professor in both the economics and political science departments at St. Mary's University, where he focuses on economic inequities. He's most recently the author of the book "Epic Recession and Global Financial Crisis." He joins Michelle and John to discuss the latest report that dropped today indicating a surge in inflation. Dr. Rasmus points out that the recent spike in price inflation for fuel, meat and baked goods is a result of price gouging by monopolistic corporations. It is more about corporate greed than the narrative of supply shortages.Next, Dr. Peter Kuznick called into the show. He's a professor of history and director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University in Washington, and he's an expert on 20th century history. He's the author of many books, including "The Untold History of the United States" and "Beyond the Laboratory: Scientists as Political Activists in 1930s America." Dr. Kuznick came on the show to discuss the historical context of NATO expansion into Eastern Europe and how we got to the recent tensions with Russia regarding Ukraine.Ron Clewer, Illinois market president for Gorman & Company and affordable housing advocate, joined John and Michelle for the last segment of the show to talk about the recent escalation of home prices, as well as falling supply and lack of affordable housing. Clewer does not see the market turning back anytime soon, and says not only will the market continue to see a rise in demand for housing, but that the building of affordable housing is a workforce solution. The Misfits close the program with a reminder to join us tomorrow, because it's Friday's Stories of the Weird!

0 (0s): Good morning if you're on the patio or you're at home, would you also stand as we worshiped 1 (21s): I 0 (21s): Was lost, but he brought me in no, his, his I was asleep to, since Jesus died. 1 (1m 4s): There's 0 (2m 59s): A place. Yes. 2 (3m 12s): Because as we worship you, we are your children. We thank you that we get to worship you this morning church. We're going to sing a new song this morning. And in that song, we declare that we believe in the word of God. We declare that he is true and that we sing this out with that. 0 (3m 37s): Do your speed. Can see being Christ. Jesus I believe in the resurrection that will, we will rise. 0 (4m 22s): Ah, I believe in resurrection when Jesus I believe in God. 0 (7m 5s): I believe in Christ 1 (8m 17s): we cry. 1 (10m 23s): We cry. 3 (10m 51s): Thank you, Lord. You are indeed. Holy And by your grace, you have imputed holiness to us. It's incredible. You have forgiven our sins washed us, made us as white as snow pure and your sites because of the shed blood of Christ on our behalf. We thank you, Lord, that you are holy and you have made a way for us to ensure into your holy presence by forgiving us, redeeming us. This promise, this process of sanctify sanctification. You're sanctifying us Lord. You're doing such wonderful and profound and powerful things in our lives. 3 (11m 37s): Lord God, I pray God that we would God find a firm foundation. God, for those of us who have been waffling questioning, wondering doubting Lord, I pray that we would set our feet on a firm. The, the firm foundation, who is Christ the Lord, and that we would stand firm, that the truth of the scripture would anchor our lives. Anchor our souls. Lord, the revelation of God would be sufficient for us for our lives. We love you. We trust you, God. We believe you. And we praise you in Jesus name. 3 (12m 17s): Amen. Amen. Hey, go and turn around and greet and neighbor and we'll come right back here in just a moment. I'll get it. I got it. 1 (12m 26s): my back. 3 (13m 53s): Come on back. Good morning. We're in Hebrews chapter seven. Today you can be seated and turns you Hebrews chapter seven. I'm just going to warn you up front. I got a ton of material to go through today. I got a ton of stuff. So for historical context, we'll be looking at well, we look well steady all the way through Hebrews chapter seven, but we'll be looking at chapter six, chapter eight and chapter nine as well, just to kind of lay some groundwork. But before that, we'll just kind of go through some information. And the title of the message today is Jesus is absolutely enough. 3 (14m 36s): He's absolutely enough. And we walk with Jesus for any length of time, whether we're brand new and cry in the Lord, or I've been doing this walking with the Lord for decades, we realize that Jesus is absolutely enough, but then, but then circumstances happen. Sometimes we begin to waffle in that we begin to wonder about that. We begin to question that. And so really that's why Hebrews has been written to reaffirm, to believers in the Lord. Jesus Christ, that he is absolutely enough. That station is to fall back into an old way of thinking old system of believing a way of working things out with the Lord where the truth is. He's absolutely not for this life. 3 (15m 17s): He's come that we might have life and life abundantly, but then also for our eternal life. So we have a hope in Christ for this life and for the next this life. And for the next it'd be a total bummer if we didn't have hope in this life as well. But God by his grace has given us a bundle of mercy and goodness and gifts and favor for this life. And then it just carries on into eternity. God is absolutely good. I just want to cover a few things before we get into our text today. Some of us wonder because of maybe background experiences, choices we've made is God sufficient. 3 (15m 58s): Is he absolutely enough to save me, to redeem me? And I just want to tell you, man, no matter who you are, God is absolutely enough. Jesus is absolutely enough to redeem you. He's able to cleanse you of your sins to make you a brand new person to sanctify your life so that you look, you look totally different in your new life than you did in your old life. He's actually made it possible for you to be born again spiritually with the implication, meaning that you're going to be a brand new person in the Lord. Jesus Christ. 3 (16m 38s): Jesus is enough to save us. Jesus, Jesus has by one sacrifice made perfect forever. Those who are being made. Holy, we read that in Hebrews 10, 14, Peter preach that there is salvation in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. We see that in acts chapter four, verse 12, there is literally no one and nothing else that we could add to Christ to aid in our salvation. We are saved by grace through faith because he is good. 3 (17m 21s): Not because we are good. He finished the work on the cross. And what he did is enough to save us John 1930. So Jesus is enough to save us and that should set a foundation in our lives to build upon that informs our lives and encourage us. Us encourages us to believe that he is absolutely enough for every other arena of our lives. Jesus is enough to save us. Jesus is enough to provide for us. Paul wrote in Philippians four 19, and my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 3 (18m 6s): So Jesus is absolutely enough. He's absolutely enough to bless us as well. Paul said that God blessed us in interest with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, Ephesians one three, he didn't say a few spiritual blessings. He said every spiritual blessing. And since we can't add anything more to every Jesus is truly enough for every spiritual need we have. So we see that God is sufficient, absolutely sufficient, absolutely enough for every area of our lives. Jesus is enough to equip us. 3 (18m 46s): I say this all the time that God calls and God equips people to do the work in the world that he has for us to do at whatever level he's calling us. And he's equipping us. Jesus is enough to equip us. We have the promise that God's divine power has bestowed on us. Absolutely everything necessary for a dynamic spiritual life and godliness. Second, Peter one three says by his divine power, by his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. You wonder how to live a godly life. Stay close to Jesus. 3 (19m 27s): Be filled with the holy spirit, open up the word of God, allow it to inform you. You will live a godly life by his grace. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. So he hasn't called us into a religious system. He's called us into a relationship with him by which she pours out and bestows upon us. All kinds of amazing gifts here in this life and in the life to come, Jesus is enough to strengthen us. Maybe you're feeling weary. It's only halfway through January in the new year, but maybe you're feeling weary. God is actually able to strengthen you in whatever scenario that you're facing in your life for Jesus is enough to strengthen us. 3 (20m 16s): When Paul prayed three times to the Lord to remove the thorn from his flesh, the response was my grace is sufficient for you. For my power is made perfect in weakness. My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in your weakness. So when we are weak, Jesus' strength is enough to carry us onward. In fact, our weakness only perfects his power, which leaves no room for adding another power source. Jesus is all we need. 3 (20m 56s): There is nothing and no one to add to Christ his person and his work are perfect. He is the way he is the truth and he is the life. John 14 six. He is the only one who can save. He's the only one who can provide for us, bless us, equip us and strengthen us. Having faith in Christ involves trusting. This is the challenge for us. Having faith in God involves trusting in his complete sufficiency. Having faith in God involves trusting in his complete sufficiency for our salvation and for our life in the here. 3 (21m 39s): And now he's come that we might have life in life, abundance, you that he Hewitt wrote. I need no other argument. I need no other plea. It is enough that Jesus died and that he died for me. There's something about that truth that should resonate with us as believers. If you're hearing this truth for the first time, you need to know by God's grace, he wants to come into your life. He wants to forgive you. He wants to set you free. He wants to lavish on you. The kind of love that you've never experienced before he wants to lead you through life leads you out of danger, leads you into eternal life with him. He wants to be your Lord, your king, your Redeemer, and your saver. 3 (22m 21s): Why? Because he's absolutely enough. Jesus is absolutely enough. So before we get into Hebrews chapter seven, that was just kind of get us, get us prepared for that to get some historical context. Like I said, we're gonna look at the last couple of verses of Hebrews chapter six. We're going to look at the first couple of verses of Hebrews chapter eight. And then we're going to look at a number of verses in Hebrews chapter nine because all of those verses is a lot, but all of those verses give us context, historical context to understand what's happening in Hebrews chapter seven, Hebrews chapter seven is it is a challenging chapter and some people skip it. And, but I just like to go through the whole text of scripture. 3 (23m 2s): And so we're gonna do our best to teach their Hebrews chapter seven today, before we do that, let's get into Hebrews chapter six. I feel like we should pray. Here we go, Lord, we're gonna pray one more time. There's a lot of information ahead of us. I pray God that we hang in there, that we don't glaze over and check out, but that we hear the truth that are, that we need to hear in our spirits Lord in our souls, in our minds, in our lives, God. And that we would hear it and not just hear it, but believe it, maybe at a whole new level, maybe for the first time, but that we would believe God that you are absolutely all that we need. Jesus. And so he works efficient, absolutely sufficient. 3 (23m 44s): So help us to believe that and hear that and see that in the passage of scriptures that we read through today in Jesus name. Amen. Here we go. Hebrews six, you guys ready? Historical contexts, Hebrews six, 19 through 20. You can just jot these down and look at them later, but there'll be up on the screen as well. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. What's the hope that we're talking about all of the hope that we've been talking about, right? I hope for eternal life in Jesus, new life in Jesus here on the here and now. So this hope is what we're talking about. And Hebrews chapter six, this hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It means when we are building our life on this truth, that anchors of the truth anchors us and keeps us from getting too far away from God and too far away from God's planet keeps us right where we need to be. 3 (24m 34s): It leads us this hope, this, it leads us through the curtain, into God's inner sanctuary in the tabernacle. There was the holy place and the most holy place. This is where the priests of God did business with God, where they offered sacrifices for themselves. And for the people of God who had sinned, they're offering animal sacrifices, old covenant, old Testament stuff. This is what was going on, but Jesus has already gone in there for us. And he has become our eternal high priest. In the order of milk has a deck. Let's jump to Hebrews chapter eight, skip skipping chapter seven for a moment, Hebrews chapter eight verses one and two says this here is the main point. 3 (25m 17s): So as you read through Hebrews 5, 6, 7, as you read through Hebrews, you get to Hebrews chapter eight. And it says, here is the main point when it says here is the main point. It's time to pay attention because this is the main point, right? So we want to pay attention. So if you're asking, what's the main point, here's the main point. We have a high priest who sat down in the place of honor beside the throne of the majestic God in heaven. What does it mean that he sat down and we said it is finished, right? It is just right. Like the work, the sacrifice has been accomplished. 3 (25m 58s): It is finished. The work is done. So he sits down at the right hand of the father. There, he ministers in the heavenly tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands. We'll talk about that as we go through our study through Hebrew. So the fact that Jesus is at the right hand of the throne of God and he's interceding for us indicates that he hasn't called us into a religious practice. He's called us into a relationship with him. And some of us pay lip service to that relationship, but we never really maybe injured into it. 3 (26m 39s): Or we don't handle that very well. We kind of maybe keep God at a distance or we, you know, talk to them or pray to them on Sundays or when we're in trouble and that sort of thing. But he's actually called us into a close and intimate relationship with him. And he's, he's invested. He made the way for our salvation for just an amazing life here in the earth. Even with all of the difficulties that we go through, he is with us. He sustains us, he strengthens us. He provides for us. So he's done all of that to come that again, that we might have life and life abundance, but then also he's gone to the father. He sits there and he's interceding for us. So he's engaged with us. He's thinking about us, he's aware of what we're going through. 3 (27m 20s): So when we're going through stuff, we can go to him and bring our petitions to him. And he will intercede for us, strengthening us in what he has called us to do and what he's taking us through. There, he ministers and the heavily tabernacle, the true place of worship that was built by the Lord and not by human hands. Jesus is absolutely enough. Number one, because he has completed the necessary work of securing our salvation. Wow. He has completed the necessary work of securing our salvation. 3 (28m 1s): He has pleaded the necessary work of securing our salvation. Some of us seem to understand that on a whole new level, like a transformational level, that changes the way that we think and relate to God and live in this life. It's Jesus plus absolutely nothing that equals salvation. So Jesus by his grace, because he is good. Not because we are good, he saves us. And then he takes us on this amazing journey. That's reflective of our connection with him, our intimacy with him. He takes us on this journey of sanctification. I was just talking to a couple of this morning after first service. 3 (28m 42s): And they said they were separated and they were distant from God. And then when they decided to get serious about their relationship with God, again, because they had drifted and backslidden God brought them back together and his reconciling their relationship, sanctifying their relationship, bringing them back together and together now they will follow Jesus together. This is what Jesus does. He's absolutely sufficient to save us. And then to take us down this path of sanctification, whereby we look totally different, totally different as we move forward. Then when we did, when we were younger, I did a Memorial service for my friend. 3 (29m 23s): I don't know, last year, sometime friend from junior high school. And so all these are all buddies from junior high and high school people that I've known forever. And a lot of them I haven't seen for decades, like since then know. So it's been a few that few decades. So when I get done, you know, bringing the message and talking about my friend who passed away, some friends came up to me who hadn't seen me since high school. They're like, man, you're totally different than you used to be my best. That's the plan, right? Like if I'm born again, but stay, if we're born again, but never grow. If we never grow up in our most holy faith in what's the point, God has designed us to mature and grow and be sanctified by his grace so that his work is constantly happening within us and changing us and transforming us Jesus plus nothing equals salvation that we go on this amazing journey called sanctification. 3 (30m 18s): Jesus is sufficient. He's completely enough. So this important information for the believers in the first century needed to be reiterated and communicated to them so that they might wake up because they began to backslide away from it begin to not believe it begin to fall away from this truth. And so this first century group of believers, Jewish believers needed to hear this information again. And I, I think down through the centuries, down through the centuries, we've all needed to be hearing this information again. So it's my job to bring this information, this revelation to us again, so that we have a firm foundation and an effective walk with Jesus, many people. 3 (31m 1s): We, we wrestle in our seasons of life with whether the truth is that Jesus isn't, we, we, we wonder is Jesus enough. And we need to be reminded by the scripture. This is why I'm always telling us open up your Bible, get to church, stay informed with the word of God. Hebrews was written to a group of people who were backsliding or struggling. We've all been in that place where we've been struggling with what we really believe. So Hebrews now to us is reminding us as followers of Jesus, that he is enough. This information and revelation are difficult for some to hang on to, but if we just continue to come back to it, we will be able to hang onto it. 3 (31m 43s): I think some of us get saved and we're distant from the Lord. And so we never quite experienced victory on this side of heaven. And so we're dealing with guilt and condemnation and there's something about there's something about in the first century, something about the religious experience that the people wanted to sometime somehow participate in their salvation, into their sanctification. So that's why they kind of drifted back into like the animal sacrifices where literally they would sacrifice the bulls and goats and, and the blood of those animals would, were meant to cover sin until a time all of that stuff was going on. But, and so we're disconnected from that. 3 (32m 23s): But the reality is, is that in the 21st century, we want Jesus. Plus my good works it's Jesus. Plus my Bible reading it's Jesus. Plus my giving my tithing, whatever it may be. It's Jesus plus something else that brings me into a place of favor with God. And that God wants to shake all that up. He wants to shake all that up. Not that he's not going to grow you and make you different, but it's Jesus plus nothing else that equals your salvation. Jesus is enough. Meaning no more beating yourself up for past mistakes. Jesus is enough. Some of us are thinking back to our life when they, oh Lord. 3 (33m 4s): Back in 1945, I did this right back in 2020. I did this last week. Lord, I did this. I got to say, my grace is sufficient. If you confess your sins, God is faithful. And just to forgive you and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness. So no more guilt over past mistakes, no more condemnation because Jesus has forgiven your sins. We love the new system, but our flesh likes the old system. So we slipped back into a system of works. Paul addressed this issue to the church in Glacia Galatians one six. He said, I am shocked. I'm shocked that you're turning away so soon from God who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ. 3 (33m 49s): You're following a different way. That pretends to be the good news, but it's not the good news at all. So let's look at Hebrews chapter nine because Hebrews chapter nine helps us understand the old system. This is what would happen in the old covenant. Under the old, in the old Testament before Christ came, this is what was going on. When these things were in place, the old system, the old covenant, the priests, the Levi priest regularly entered the first room, which is the holy place as they perform their religious duties. But only the high priests Everett enter the injured, the most holy place, which is behind another curtain in the tabernacle and only once a year. 3 (34m 33s): And he always offered blood for his own sins. And for the sins that people had committed in ignorance by these regulations, the holy spirit revealed that the entrance to the most holy place was not freely open. As long as the tabernacle and the system that old system is, is represented, represent represented. We're still in use right about that verse nine. This is an illustration pointing to the present time. So now we're talking about what God has done, what Jesus has done. This is an illustration pointing to the present time for the gifts and sacrifices that the priests offer are not able to cleanse the consciouses of the people who bring them for that old system deals only with food and drink and various cleansing ceremonies, physical regulations that were in effect only until a better system could be established. 3 (35m 32s): What is that better system that has been established Jesus, right? Christ the better system Christ is the better system. He's the perfect and final sacrifice. And so these people had believed the first century believers, Jewish believers had believed, but then begin to slip back into old ways of thinking. So that's why this letter is written verse 11 says, so Christ has now become the high priest language that they would understand over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world. 3 (36m 14s): So now let's get into Hebrews chapter seven. Is that clock set? Okay, good to set. I got to, I need to know how much time I've got left here. I just need to take a breath and what I need to do. So I'm trying to get a lot in here. I told my wife, I said, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get all of Hebrews seven in there. She said, we'll break it up. Of course I didn't break it up here. We are. So now as we get into Hebrews chapter seven, we're going to be learning about this mysterious person named Mel Kesa deck. All right. Again, the whole purpose of this letter is to inform and to encourage and to remind the Jewish believers that Jesus is absolutely enough. 3 (36m 57s): And so this person, Mel Kazakh interacted with Abraham. So we're talking 4,000 years ago, 2000 years before Christ Marchesa deck and Abraham are having this interaction. It was a setup 4,000 years ago to prepare the people, the Jewish people, especially, and as Gentiles, it was to prepare them for a better system that would be revealed 4,000 years later. So we will learn about this mysterious person though, because we've kind of hinted about him leading up to this point. So we're going to learn some stuff about milk as a deck and realize Marquez deck is greater than Abraham, but Jesus is greater than has a deck. 3 (37m 42s): Here we go, because the deck is both a king and a priest who foreshadowed Jesus. So the Levitical priests were just priest. They weren't Kings as well. They were just priest. So cause a king. He's the king of Salem, which is ancient Jerusalem. So he's king and priest, but we know that Jesus is a prophet priest and king. So he trumps milk has a deck and Marchesa deck trumps Abraham. So Jesus trumps them all. Here we go. Mel Kazakh prepared the Jewish people for a different type of priesthood. Something that would be instituted thousands of years later, God use mal Kesey deck. It seems as an example of what was to come in Christ. 3 (38m 24s): So mal Kuznick foreshadowed the work ministry and life of the Lord. Jesus Christ. We will see that now is greater than Abraham, but Jesus is greater than milk has it at Hebrews chapter seven one, shall we get into verse one? All right, here we go. This milk mill Cassa deck was king of the city of Salem, ancient Jerusalem, and also a priest of God. Most high when Abraham was returning home, after winning a great battle against the Kings milk, met him and blessed him. Then Abraham took a 10th of all. He had captured in battle and gave it to milk. Heza deck the name now Kesey deck means king of justice and king of Salem means king of peace. 3 (39m 8s): And so when we study this guy, Mel Kesey deck, we see that there's some similarities. Some people would say that milk Kesey deck was a Krzysztof mini, a an old Testament personification of Jesus. I don't believe that. I don't think that's the case. I think no deck was used. Maybe he was an angelic being who ruled over Salem, Jerusalem. I don't know who he is. We won't know this side of heaven, but we will meet him in eternity. Right? Cause he remains a priest forever. Like the Lord Jesus Christ. All right. We're looking at milk as a deck. There are plenty of similarities to Jesus, our great high priest, by the way, is just a priest and Jesus is the great high priest. 3 (39m 53s): All right, here we go. No charismatic is just says that he's just, and Jesus is just first John one nine. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful. And what just, he is faithful. And just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. So who is the one who is just unable to forgive? Well, Jesus is right. We see it in the scripture and ex or excuse me, John first, John one seven says, but if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other and the blood of Jesus, his son cleanses us from all sin. So if you wonder if Jesus is enough, absolutely enough to forgive you and to save you. 3 (40m 39s): We we've got evidence from the scripture. Hebrews seven two says again, the name means king of justice and king of Salem means king of peace. So ML Kesey deck as king of Salem is also known as the king of peace. Who else do we know in the scripture is related to peace? Jesus, he's the prince of peace, right? Isaiah nine, six, a popular passage for Christmas time says this for a child is born to us. A son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders and he will be called wonderful counselor, mighty God, everlasting father and prince of peace, right? 3 (41m 22s): He's the prince of peace. Isaiah nine, seven. Speaking of Jesus says his government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and there it is again, justice from the throne of his ancestor, David, for all eternity, the passionate commitment of the Lord of heaven's armies will make this happen. So what else do we know about milk has a deck? Well, there's no record. This is interesting, right? Is there's no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors, no beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever resembling the son of God. 3 (42m 4s): So that Greek word translated resembling in Hebrews chapter verse seven, chapter seven, verse three, it just simply means a copy or a facsimile. It means to be made like, or to render similar. So we see that milk has a deck is a priest forever resembling the son of God. I don't think he's across Christophe and at Christ often, if you think so, no problem. We won't have to talk about it after church, but I think he's probably just an angelic being or some somebody that God chose to use to point us to a new system, to the person in the work of the Lord, Jesus Christ. 3 (42m 48s): So there's no record of his family. Lineage is important. If you want to serve as a priest, you needed to prove that you were part of the right family, that you were indeed a Levi's. So we see begin to see a shifts. So God calls Melchizedek priest forever, but he's not a Levi. It only errands descendants. The it's could be priests. So we see a shift. We know that Jesus, wasn't a Levis, but he's called our great high priest. Jesus was of what tribe Judah. So that's a totally different tribe. Nowhere in all of scripture were people from Judas tribe priests. 3 (43m 28s): So we've got Mel Cassie, who's pointing people to a new system. Jesus is God using Melchizedek to point us to a new system pointing to something better that's coming. So he used the McKesson and 4,000 years ago to kind of foreshadow Jesus, you came 2000 year, goes years ago so that we get to hear about him today, 2000 years later, God's God's got this big picture plan that is unholy. So if you're worried about your life and what's going on in your life and you're like 30 years old right now, God's got it handled. Maybe you're a hundred years old. God is good. He's got it handled, right? He's not on this. Time-space continue. He's not worried. He's outside of time. He's got you handle. He's absolutely capable of handling your life. 3 (44m 9s): So there's no record of his family. We know who Jesus, father and mother are, but Jesus, again, our great high priest is not a Levi he's of the tribe of Judah. According to verse three, Mel and Jesus are both priests forever. I don't know how to work that out. Theologically. We'll figure it out when we get there. But according to the scripture, that's the case and they're priests forever. So typically a Levi would serve for a time they would die. And then a new Levi would come in and serve as priest. But Jesus is our great high priest for forever and ever and ever consider then how great this milk has. 3 (44m 52s): The deck was even Abraham. The great patriarch of Israel recognize this by giving a 10th of what he had taken in battle. So again, we're trying to elevate the reality that McKesson had good points is to Jesus is actually superior to father Abraham, the father of the Hebrew nation. He's been elevated as their father, spiritually and relationally. And, and, and through whom the promise of God has come, but there's something beyond that. And so the writers pointing this out, even Abraham, the gate, rape patriarch recognize this by giving him a 10th of what he had taken in battle. Now the law of Moses required that priests who are descendants of Levi must collect a tie from the rest of the people of Israel who are also descendants of Abraham. 3 (45m 37s): But now Cassa, DEC, who was not a descendant of Levi collected a 10th from Abraham and no Kesa Dick placed a blessing upon Abraham, the one who had already received the promise Genesis 12. And without question, the person who has the power to give a blessing is greater than the one who is blessed. Verse eight, the priests who collect ties are men who die. So Mel Kesa Dick is greater than they are because we are told that he lives on. In addition, we might even say that these Levi's and I, I love this rationale here, this, this language here. In addition, we might even say that these Levi's the ones who collected the ties, paid tied to milk has a deck when their ancestor, Abraham paid a tie to him for although Levi wasn't born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham's body. 3 (46m 28s): When deck collected the tithe from him, you have to think about that one. So if the priesthood of Levi in which the law was based could have achieved, this is important. Verse 11, if the priesthood of Levi in which the law was based, the old covenant, the old system could have achieved the perfection, God intended. Why did God needs? You establish a different priesthood with a priest in the order of instead of the, instead of the order of Levi and Erin, right? There's a transition happening. The old covenant was given the law was given. So we, we might recognize how desperately in need of God's grace. We are like obey the 10 commandments. 3 (47m 10s): Nobody could do it. Nobody could keep the commandments. In fact, scripture says that we break one part of the law. We're guilty of breaking all of the loss. So in every scenario with every person, we all need the grace of the Lord, Jesus Christ. And so the message throughout the scripture in the old and the new Testament points us to Jesus. Hebrews chapter points us to Jesus first wealth. And if the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed to permit it for the priests. We are talking about belong to a different tribe whose members have never served at the alter as priest. What I, what I mean is our Lord came from the tribe of Judah and Moses never mentioned priests coming from that tribe. 3 (47m 57s): This change has been made very clear since a different priest who was like Mel Kesa. Dick has appeared. Jesus became a priest, not by meeting the physical requirements by belonging, to the tribe of Levi Levi, but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed as a Psalm was pointed out. When he prophesied you are a priest forever. In the order of Melchizedek, Jesus is absolutely enough. Number one, because he has completed the necessary work of securing our salvation and number two, and we'll wrap this left part up very quickly because he is a priest forever, and he guarantees a better covenant with God. 3 (48m 41s): So the old covenant was based on works obedience to the law Jesus and the new covenant guarantees by his sacrificial work on the cross. He guarantees a better covenant with God by grace. Are we saved through faith as nothing to do with ourselves, Ephesians 2 8, 9. It's all a gift of, of, of the Lord by grace. Are we saved through faith? Jesus guarantees a better covenant with God. Yes. The old requirement about the priesthood was set aside because it was weak and useless. Do you guys hear that? And this is what the people were beginning to slip back into. They were blinded to the effectiveness of what Christ had done, and they were slipping back into an old system for the law. 3 (49m 24s): Never made anything perfect, but now we have confidence in a better hope through which we draw near to God. This new system was established with a solemn oath. Era's descendants became priest without such an oath, but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him, the Lord has taken an oath and will not break his vow. You are a priest forever. So this will never change. This will never change because of this oath. Verse 22, Jesus is the one who guarantees this better covenant with God. You can't guarantee a better covenant with God through your good works. You can't guarantee a better relationship with God through your good works. 3 (50m 5s): You will enjoy maybe greater intimacy with God because of your obedience to him. You will enjoy a closer relationship with God, maybe because of your obedience, but you will never guarantee a better covenant relationship with him based on those things. Jesus secured that for you. Verse 23, there were many priests under the old system for death, prevented them from remaining in office, but because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. Therefore he is able once and forever to save those who come to God through him, he lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. Jesus is absolutely enough. Number one, because he has completed the necessary work of securing our salvation. 3 (50m 46s): Number two, because he is a priest forever. And he guarantees a better covenant with God. Number three, because he is holy and blameless unstained by sin. He is holy and blameless. Imagine holy and blameless. The Lord, Jesus Christ. God who created the heavens and the earth took on human flesh in the, in the incarnation became a child raised, preached, taught, lived, died, raised from the dead all for you and me. 3 (51m 26s): Not because of his sin, but because of our sin, he is the kind of high Friess we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from centers and has been given the highest place of honor and heaven. Unlike those other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins and first, and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all. Get this once for all. Don't keep going back, just receive the grace of the Lord. Jesus tries to, if you mess up, say, Lord, forgive me. I don't want to walk down that path, but don't go back from things that you've already been forgiven for. 3 (52m 7s): You're feeling guilty and condemnation about just, just receive the grace of the Lord. Jesus Christ. Maybe you're here today and you've never received the grace of the Lord. Jesus Christ healed. Jesus loves you. His grace is efficient. Receive it a fresh brand new today and watch what God will do in your life. The law pointed high priests who were limited by human weakness, but after the law was given God appointed his son with an oath and his son has been made the perfect high priest forever. Jesus has absolutely enough for your life now and for your eternity, build your spiritual foundation on that truth. 3 (52m 52s): And 2022 will be for you a time of amazing growth, spiritually amazing growth in the area of faith and confidence in trusting God and amazing things. Transformational things will begin to take place in your life, but we got to place our confidence solely in Jesus. He's absolutely enough with that. Let's go ahead and stand up and we're going to sing and worship a little bit more and then we'll get out of here. Lord. Thank you for this time. Thank you for your word for the historical context of your word. Thank you for speaking us. I pray God with all of that information. God that we would've absorbed something that builds us up in our most holy faith that we would have grabbed hold of something that will transform us and change us and encourage us Lord. 3 (53m 40s): So bless us. Help us. We pray Lord in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Let's worship. 2 (56m 50s): Hi. Holy holy holy. And we cry. Holy holy today. And God we know that in eternity. We can cry. Holy holy, holy, thank you. That you are good. Thank you for your word. Thank you for your church. We love you. Jesus. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

On this edition of Parallax Views, Friday, August 6th and 9th, 2021 will mark the 76th anniversary of the atomic bomb being dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Joining us to discuss the bombing from a critical perspective is Prof. Peter Kuznick, co-author with Oliver Stone of the hit documentary series (and its companion book) The Untold History of the United States. Kuznick, Professor of History and Director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University, makes the case that, contrary to popular belief, the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was unnecessary to ending WWII. Japan, he argues, would've surrendered. He provides evidence from intelligence reports to the comments of generals to make this case. Furthermore, he argues that the decision to drop the bombs as directed by FDR's successor President Harry Truman was actually about "sending a message" to the Soviet Union. From this perspective, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were collateral damage in service of a geopolitical agenda. Prof. Kuznick lay out the case in detail for why the bombings were both militarily unnecessary and moral unjustifiable in this fascinating and provocative conversation. But moreover, he notes how the unleashing of the atomic bomb all those decades ago led to a dangerous nuclear arms race that has extended beyond the Cold War. In light of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moving its Doomsday Clock to "100 seconds to midnight" this conversation is hopefully very relevant. Prof. Kuznick says that we must recognize the the mistakes of the past if we are to survive the 21st century without facing the existential risk of nuclear winter or species extinction. He also addresses common objection to these concerns, including deterrence theory and mutually-assured destruction We discuss a number of different subjects and figures as they relate to the story of the atomic bomb including Albert Einstein, Gen. Curtis LeMay, General Douglas MacArthur, Dwight Eisenhower, Robert Oppenheimer, the Frank Committee, taking his students to the bomb sites and meeting survivors, the pivotal role of the Soviet Union in victory over the Axis Powers in WWII, the 7 generals and admirable who objected to the use of the atomic bomb, and much, much more.

August 6th and 9th, 2020 mark the 75th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by U.S. forces. U.S. politicians and media personalities often claim that the bombings were the only option President Truman had to bring World War II to a swift end, but historian Peter Kuznick says this is a myth. On this week's program, Kuznick rebuts that belief, demonstrating that it was widely-known at the time that Japan was looking to surrender, and the bombs did nothing to hasten that surrender. His conversation with Mickey Huff also covers related issues, such as the unprecedented anti-Japanese racism employed in U.S. wartime propaganda, and how the use of the bombs worsened the Cold War.   Notes:   Peter Kuznick is Professor of History at American University in Washington DC, and also directs the Nuclear Studies Program at that institution. He and Oliver Stone wrote the groundbreaking book The Untold History of the United States, and also produced a Showtime documentary series based on the book.

Join Dr. Carlos as he explores if American intervention has gone too far? A companion to Oliver Stone's ten-part documentary series of the same name, this guide offers a people's history of the American Empire: “a critical overview of US foreign policy…indispensable” (former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev); “brilliant, a masterpiece!” (Daniel Ellsberg); “Oliver Stone's new book is as riveting, eye-opening, and thought-provoking as any history book you will ever read. It achieves what history, at its best, ought to do: presents a mountain of previously unknown facts that makes you question and re-examine many of your long-held assumptions about the most influential events” (Glenn Greenwald).In November 2012, Showtime debuted a ten-part documentary series based on Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick's The Untold History of the United States. The book and documentary looked back at human events that, at the time, went underreported, but also crucially shaped America's unique and complex history over the twentieth centuryFrom the atomic bombing of Japan to the Cold War and fall of Communism, this concise version of the larger book is adapted for the general reader. Complete with poignant photos, arresting illustrations, and little-known documents, The Concise Untold History of the United States covers the rise of the American empire and national security state from the late nineteenth century through the Obama administration, putting it all together to show how deeply rooted the seemingly aberrant policies of the Bush-Cheney administration are in the nation's past and why it has proven so difficult for Obama to change course.In this concise and indispensible guide, Kuznick and Stone (who Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills has called America's own “Dostoevsky behind a camera”) challenge prevailing orthodoxies to reveal the dark truth about the rise and fall of American imperialism.Peter Kuznick is professor of history and director of the award-winning Nuclear Studies Institute at American University and is currently serving his fourth term as distinguished lecturer with the Organization of American Historians.
