Joshua 18-19 tell of the inheritances of the other seven tribes and of Joshua's own in the Land promised to the nation's fathers of faith. With Israel assembled at Shiloh with the Tabernacle of the congregation spies were sent out to report on the rest of the land to be allotted. Having surveyed the land and providing a detailed written description the land was apportioned into 7 allotments. On the return of the spies lots were cast to see what each tribe was to receive. Verses 11-28 tell us of Benjamin's inheritance: the lands and their cities. Notice that Jerusalem is included in Benjamin's allotted territory. Jerusalem is also listed as belonging to Judah. How can it belong to two tribes? It was a border city and so belonged to both tribes. Benjamin's allocation logically follows the two sons of Joseph since Benjamin was Joseph's brother. Isaiah 24 describes the ravages to come on the earth, and at the time of the great earthquake which will happen when Jesus returns to the earth. Verse 1 speaks of the depopulation that this event will bring. Verses 2-3 tells that all classes of people are equally affected. Verses 4-6 outlines some of sins of the world which have brought these judgments. Verses 7-13 describe the bitterness felt by the survivors of this calamity. Verses 14-20 say that many of the remaining peoples will speak of the righteousness of the Almighty's judgment. Verses 21-23 speak of the new regime reigning in Jerusalem over the entire earth who will displace all the other rulers. Hebrews 5verses 12-6 and 20 continues the theme begun in chapter 5 – a warning against apostacy. The first 8 verses deal with a pressing danger to those, who were once enlightened by the Spirit Word, and had shared in the Holy Spirit gifts of the first century, of “falling away” (Greek word for apostacy and having a number value of 666). This proves that the possession of a spiritual gift was not a guarantee of a place in the kingdom. The writer expresses his hope that the majority of the letter's readers will not succumb to this challenge. From verse 13 to the end of chapter the writer outlines the certainty of God's promises. All His promises are unfailing and are not capable of any shortfall in what He has promised. Yahweh's promise to Abraham is vouchsafed by an oath based on God's own existence. And so with Chrst having been raised and exalted to His Father's presence our hope is securely anchored in Christ. This hope takes us beyond mortality and being with Christ will be realised at Jesus' return to earth to set up the kingdom promised to Abraham (see Romans 4 verse 13; Genesis 13 verses 14-15). From chapters 7-10 the writer speaks of the “better priesthood”, which has been brought into existence by our Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 7 introduces us to “one made like unto the Son of God”, by the terms the Scripture uses and the manner in which they are introduced to the reader of the sacred inspired text. Twice only do we find Melchizedek, the king-priest of Jerusalem mentioned in the Old Testament – Genesis 14 and Psalm 110. These verses were written about a thousand years apart. And together with an enacted parable from 2 Samuel chapters 6-8 allow us to see how this man prefigures the Lord Jesus Christ and his priesthood. Like Abraham's promises Christ's priesthood (typically seen in Melchizedek) is founded upon an oath. Since Melchizedek's priesthood preceded and also prophetically succeeds the Aaronic priesthood the Scripture foreshadows a change of law administered by an eternal priesthood of King-priests. Christ's sacrifice suffices in the forgiveness of sins once for all time. And our Lord Jesus will return to the earth free from a body which is weak and sin prone to rule in glorious immortality.
With Israel conspicuously absent from Trump's first major Middle East trip, Christiane speaks with Biden's former Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman about the ethical concerns surrounding his overseas deals and meetings, the U.S. role in the war in Gaza, and new revelations about efforts by Biden's inner circle to conceal his decline ahead of the election. Then, Ukraine's former Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, speaks to Christiane about what the country should reasonably expect and where the crisis stands now after Putin was a no-show for ceasefire talks in Turkey. Clare Sebastian reports on Russia's propaganda campaign to maintain its grip on the occupied Ukrainian port city of Mariupol. And, as the war in Gaza continues with no ceasefire in sight, Israeli Alon Lee-Green and Palestinian citizen of Israel, Rula Daood, co-directors of "Standing Together", a Jewish-Arab movement for peace, discuss their hopes for ending the conflict, and shared activism. Also, as the first group of white South Africans landed as welcome refugees in the U.S. this week, from Christiane's archive, her 1997 report on the long post-apartheid path to reconciliation in the country.

This week on Adapting, David sits down with Dr. Keren Fraiman, Dean of Spertus Institute and winner of the prestigious Ilia Salita Excellence in Research Award, for an essential conversation on why Israel must be front and center in our classrooms—now more than ever. While many Jewish educators recognize the importance of teaching about Israel, research shows that fear of controversy and complexity often leads to hesitation. In this compelling episode, Keren dives into why it is crucial for educators to embrace the discomfort and navigate these complex discussions with confidence. She also shares practical strategies for managing conflict in the classroom and highlights the power of creating a permissive, supportive environment to hold space for all the complexities these conversations hold. With Israel-related issues impacting our students daily, Keren emphasizes the need for educators to lean on each other and build spaces that allow for honest, open dialogue—no matter how challenging it may feel. The need for Israel education is urgent. Let's not shy away from it. This episode was produced by Dina Nusnbaum and Miranda Lapides. The show's executive producers are David Bryfman, Karen Cummins, and Nessa Liben. This episode was engineered and edited by Nathan J. Vaughan of NJV Media.

In this week's episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Doug and Pesach reconnect while Doug is in the heart of Washington, D.C. for a jam-packed week of advocacy and prayer. Doug shares his firsthand reflections from the National Day of Prayer events, the Israel Embassy gathering, and Israel Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill. But that's just the beginning. The conversation shifts to the pressing situation in Gaza, where Doug and Pesach tackle the question few are willing to ask: What is the endgame? With Israel gaining confidence in not just defending itself by conquering and occupying Gaza. Is the world ready for an Israel that no longer plays defense? Should Israel become more comfortable with a permanent presence in Gaza? Doug and Pesach don't hold back as they explore the deeper implications of a shifting Middle East and what it means for Jews, Christians, and freedom-loving people everywhere. This episode is a powerful blend of current events, theological insight, and bold questions. You won't want to miss it.

God now codifies what is to happen at the Feast of Weeks. First of all, it is to be fifty days after the waving of the sheaf offering, which means that the day of the Sabbath was to change year by year. This is important when we think of the resurrection which the sheaf represents, because it was fifty days after the resurrection of Christ that the Holy Spirit was poured out. The Feast of Weeks is done in remembrance of the giving of the law on tablets of stone at Mt. Sinai and was given to point forward to the giving of the law in the hearts of believers at Pentecost through the Holy Spirit. At Pentecost, they were to wave two large loaves of leavened bread because unlike the Feast of Unleavened Bread which represented the gospel not spreading from Israel, the Feast of Weeks is a picture of the Word of God going through the whole world. Also, more animals needed to be sacrificed for Pentecost and not just burnt offerings, but sin and peace offerings as well. With Israel being the people of God, there was no eternal forgiveness in the making of them as a people unlike in the New Covenant where sin was actually taken away. It is about where there is true peace with God. Israel was never at peace with God, but the visible church does have peace with God even as it is a mixed multitude. Then lastly, God ends by putting aside all of the symbolic offerings and speaks plainly. You must leave the corners of the fields for the poor and stranger. They would not have understood the symbolism of the offerings, but they had a duty to understand that. They had a duty to care for their neighbor.
Can Syria keep its promises? After the fall of Bashar al-Assad last December, the new rulers of Damascus are convening a one-day national dialogue conference. On paper, the outcomes sound promising: transitional justice, inclusive democracy and the disarmament of the country's numerous militias in favour of a unified national army. In practice, it's far more complicated. The US-backed Syrian Kurds in the north feel excluded and have no intention of surrendering their weapons while they continue to fight both IS group remnants and Turkey-backed militias. Integrating them, while also building trust with the Islamist-led factions that brought Ahmed al-Shaara to power, won't happen overnight. We explore how this can be achieved and how far the West is willing to go, now that the EU has lifted sanctions. With Israel's ongoing air strikes and its demands for Syria's military to retreat from the Golan Heights, how can the international community support lasting stability and peace in a country that desperately seeks it?Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Guillaume Gougeon and Ilayda Habip.
With Israel gathered together at Gilgal, Samuel takes the opportunity to give a farewell sermon as his time as judge comes to an end. He reminds the people of his faithful service to the LORD and to them. He recalls the faithful dealings of the LORD with Israel over their history, even when Israel was unfaithful. Now that Israel has a king, both the people and the king must remain faithful to the LORD, or the LORD's hand will turn against them. The LORD sends a sign to confirm Samuel's word, and the people confess their sin. Samuel acknowledges their confession as true and urges them not to turn aside from the LORD. Rev. Sean Smith, senior pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Clarksville, TN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Samuel 12:1-25. "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

We explore Donald Trump's bold assertion that lower oil prices could end the ongoing war in Ukraine. Having entered the White House with claims he could bring the conflict to a halt in 24 hours, Trump now believes pressuring OPEC to boost oil production could force President Putin to the negotiating table.In Lebanon, the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has entered its second month. With Israel's forces still present in the south, We hear from Hani Bhosali, the President of Lebanon's Food Importers Syndicate, who sheds light on how businesses are coping and the mood on the ground.And a new insurance policy is offering protection against cancel culture, providing a 24/7 hotline and crisis management plan. We explore how it works and whether it's the new must-have for celebrities facing public backlash.
With Israel and Hamas on the cusp of a ceasefire in Gaza, our reporters investigated the strategy of the United Arab Emirates in the region. The oil and gas-rich Gulf monarchy – a Middle Eastern heavyweight which has a strong rivalry with neighbouring Qatar – is spreading its influence and preparing for the period after the war, when the bombs will finally fall silent in the Gaza Strip and focus will turn to reconstruction.

Turkish-backed forces have launched a new offensive against Kurdish fighters in Syria following the collapse of the Assad regime. The Syrian National Army, supported by Turkish air power, is pushing against the US-supported People's Defense Units (YPG), which Ankara claims is linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, the PKK, which has been fighting Turkey for decades. The YPG controls a large swathe of Syria bordering Turkey, which Ankara says poses a security threat.Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan says Turkey is determined to prevent the YPG and its affiliate the PKK from exploiting a power vacuum following the fall of former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.As Erdogan celebrates Turkish role in ousting Assad, uncertainty lies ahead"We are in communication with the groups to make sure that terrorist organisations, especially Daesh [Islamic State] and the PKK, are not taking advantage of the situation," he said. "Turkey is committed to continuing the fight against terrorism. All minorities – non-Muslims, Christians, non-Arabs, Kurds – should be treated equally."Opportunity for AnkaraEver since the YPG took over control of the Syrian territory at the beginning of the Syrian civil war, Ankara has been seeking to remove it. With the ousting of the Assad regime and the withdrawal of its Iranian and Russian backers, which had in the past blocked Turkish military interventions, analysts say Ankara now sees an opportunity to finally remove the YPG threat."The current situation creates an opportunity for its [Turkey's] fight against PKK and YPG because there is now no Russia, there is no Iran," explains Bilgehan Alagoz, a professor of international relations at Istanbul's Marmara University."Turkey was facing the Russian forces, the Iranian forces, and Assad's regime forces while it was combatting the PKK and YPG," she added. "We can name it as an opportunity for its fight against PKK and YPG."Success of rebel groups in Syria advances Turkish agendaHowever, the YPG is still being supported by a small US military force, as part of the war against the Islamic State (IS). The YPG is also detaining thousands of IS militants.'The Euphrates is a line'With the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army now approaching the Euphrates River, analysts say further eastward advances could put Ankara on a collision course with both Washington, and Syria's new rulers – Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS. "The Euphrates now is like a line perhaps for the US military," explains Aydin Selcen, a former senior Turkish diplomat who served in the region and is now a foreign policy analyst for Turkey's independent Medyascope news outlet."If that [military advance] goes on as such, it could bring Turkey indirectly head to head with the US, with even perhaps HTS, and it could put Ankara in a delicate diplomatic position again," warned Selcen.Tensions with IsraelThe Israeli military's advance into Syria is adding to Ankara's concerns over the threat posed by the PYG and its political wing, the Democratic Union Party (PYD). Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar last month described the Kurds as a "natural ally" of Israel, a comment that came amid growing Israeli-Turkish tensions.Turkey seeks Gaza ceasefire role despite US criticism over Hamas ties"Israel is now carving out a corridor [in Syria] between the PKK/PYD-controlled territories, and its own territories," explained Hasan Unal, a professor of international relations at Ankara's Baskent University."That suggests that this is what they [Israel] are trying to do – [to create] a Kurdish puppet state east of the Euphrates. And this is something that is likely to create lots of problems with Turkey," he added.With Israel's presence in Syria, Ankara is likely to step up pressure on the YPG, and on the incoming Trump administration to end US military presence in Syria.
Headlines: The fallout from Hunter Biden's pardon, biggest cocaine bust in Australian history sees 13 charged and Australia just sweltered through its hottest spring ever. Deep dive: 2024 has become the deadliest year for aid workers with harrowing risks of humanitarian work laid bare over the weekend. Aid workers from Save the Children and World Central Kitchen were killed in an Israeli Defence Forces airstrike in Gaza, prompting World Central Kitchen to halt operations after it destroyed one of its vehicles and killed three staff members. With Israel's new legislation banning the operation of the UN's Palestinian refugee agency in Israel and occupied territories by January 28, what happens to arguably the most oppressed and starving people in the world if aid workers can no longer help?

With Israel appearing to expand its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, targeting the group's financial networks, the US is increasingly concerned that the conflict has “escalated out of control”, with top officials calling for the enforcement of a UN resolution that ended the previous major war between them in 2006. At the same time, there is renewed concern that the war is fueling Lebanon's sectarian tensions, threatening the balance between Lebanon's three main religious groups. Sean Mathews, a journalist for the Middle East Eye covering the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkans, joins Thanos Davelis to break down how this evolving conflict is impacting Lebanon and the region.

With Israel's assault on Lebanon increasing and its war on Gaza continuing without a diplomatic resolution in sight, the Israeli government is involved in a multi-front conflict across the Middle East. This panel discussion brought together academics and political analysts to discuss the growing regional ramifications of the conflict. How have regional and international responses to the latest Israeli assault on Gaza since October 7 2023 been different to those in the past? What is the likely future trajectory of the conflict in the region; with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the militias groups in Iraq and Iran? What will be the historical consequences of such an extended, multi-state conflict?

As tensions rise between Israel and Iran, the global energy market is feeling the strain. Oil prices have jumped from $72 to $78 per barrel, and any further escalation could disrupt key producers like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, pushing prices even higher. With Israel attempting to provoke Iran into a wider conflict, the U.S. is caught in a delicate balancing act, trying to avoid being drawn in while managing domestic inflation and rising gas prices. For Ireland, already suffering from the highest energy costs in Europe, this adds a dangerous layer of pressure. With 80% of its energy imported and an overburdened grid, the country is highly vulnerable to global shocks. Despite Ireland's potential for wind and wave energy, slow adoption of renewables leaves households and businesses exposed to soaring costs. This geopolitical turmoil could deepen Ireland's energy crisis, highlighting the urgent need for infrastructure upgrades and a more serious commitment to energy independence. The question remains whether Ireland will take decisive action or continue to bear the brunt of an unstable global market. Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast.

In this episode of The Neoliberal Round, we dive into one of the most alarming and critical global issues unfolding right now: the escalating conflict in the Middle East, which has the potential to ignite a World War III. As tensions between Israel, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran reach a boiling point, the situation has rapidly evolved from a regional conflict into a crisis with global implications. The episode starts by breaking down the chain of events that have intensified the conflict. We begin with Israel's heavy-handed response to missile attacks from Hamas, which resulted in over 2,000 Palestinian deaths, most of them innocent civilians. But the conflict took an even more dangerous turn when Israel assassinated a Hezbollah leader with close ties to Iran, dragging Hezbollah—and by extension, Iran—into the fray. In retaliation, Iran launched over 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel. While Israel's defense systems, bolstered by U.S. technology, managed to intercept most of these missiles, several hit key Israeli military bases, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. This brings us to the central question of the episode: Will Israel retaliate, and if so, what will be the consequences? The potential fallout from an Israeli retaliation could be catastrophic, not just for the Middle East but for the entire world. Unlike Hamas, Iran is a formidable regional power, equipped with advanced ballistic missiles and strong alliances with major global players like Russia, China, and other BRICS nations. A strike on Hezbollah, a close ally of Iran, would be tantamount to declaring war on Iran itself. And Iran is not isolated; it has the backing of powerful nations that could quickly turn this conflict into a global war. We explore the broader geopolitical implications, pointing out that a conflict between Israel and Iran could draw in the U.S., Western Europe, and Japan on one side, while Russia, China, and the BRICS nations—along with other Middle Eastern countries—could form an opposing bloc. Such a scenario would stretch beyond the borders of Israel and Iran, potentially triggering simultaneous conflicts in Taiwan and Ukraine, as China and Russia take advantage of the chaos to advance their own geopolitical interests. Russia has already moved its naval forces closer to the U.S., positioning ships off the coast of Cuba, while China is massing troops near the Taiwanese border, potentially preparing for an invasion. This confluence of crises raises the specter of a multi-front global conflict that could spiral out of control, dragging the world's most powerful nations into war. In this episode, we also discuss the urgent need for diplomacy. With the stakes so high, the U.S. and its allies must engage with Israel immediately to ensure that any response is measured and calculated to avoid triggering a wider war. The decisions made in the coming days could determine whether the world steps back from the edge of global conflict or plunges headfirst into World War III. The Neoliberal Round offers a detailed and thought-provoking analysis of how this Middle Eastern conflict has become a flashpoint for global tensions, drawing in not just regional actors but the world's most powerful nations. With Israel on the verge of retaliation and Iran ready to respond, the entire world is watching—and waiting. Will diplomacy prevail, or are we on the brink of a war that will shape the future of global politics? Join us as we analyze this unfolding crisis and its potential to reshape the international order.

With Israel under attack from Iran, after its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, didn't finish the job, Israeli's have more terror to cope with than ever. So, Dr. Carole is replaying this episode, to let people, in Israel, in America and worldwide, who suffer for Israel, know where to get help. It is a thrill to bring you today's guests, the founders of Planetherapy, Tal Nir and Ilana O'Malley - two amazing women driven to find a way to heal the emotional pain of Israelis after the Hamas massacre of October 7. Their vision: Israelis receive support and hugs from around the world and caregivers get the opportunity to help in times of crisis and increase their influence on a global scale. (Dr. Carole is honored to be one of these caregivers.) They will tell you how their idea blossomed into an organization that gives people 'emotional hugs' and helps them cope during a time of unimaginable stress, loss and terror.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has used the United Nations General Assembly to criticise Israel and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But as Erdogan tries to lead opposition to Israel, Turkey is finding itself increasingly sidelined in the region. At the UN, Erdogan again compared Israel to Hitler, calling for an "international alliance of humanity" to stop Israel as it did Hitler 70 years ago. However, such fiery rhetoric is finding a shrinking audience."It's more conveying a message to their own base", said Sezin Oney of the Turkish news portal Politikyol. "There isn't an audience that really sees Turkey or Erdogan as the vanguard of Palestine rights anymore. On the contrary, that ship sailed long ago."Erdogan attempted to boost his image as a powerful regional player by meeting with the Lebanese and Iraqi Prime Ministers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. But Ankara is increasingly finding itself sidelined as a regional diplomatic player."Ankara's pro-Hamas approach has only marginalised Turkey in the international arena," said international relations expert Selin Nasi of the London School of Economics. "So we see Egypt and Qatar receiving credits for their roles as mediators. And Turkey is locked out of international diplomatic efforts."Since Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel and Israel's subsequent Gaza campaign, Ankara has tried to position itself among international mediating efforts to end the fighting, given its close contacts with Hamas.Turkish youth finds common cause in protests against trade with IsraelMediation efforts"Turkey was asked by the United States to speak with Hamas people", said international relations expert Soli Ozel at Vienna's Institute for Human Studies.However, Ozel says the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran denied Erdogan his diplomatic trump card."One big blow to Turkey has been the murder of Haniyeh, with which Turkey did have very close relations. For all I know, he may even have had a Turkish passport", said Ozel."And I really don't think Turkey has any relations or contacts with Yahya Sinwar, who is officially and effectively the leader of Hamas".With Israel already alienated by Erdogan's fiery rhetoric along with Turkey imposing an Israeli trade embargo, Gallia Lindenstrauss of Tel Aviv's National Security Studies says Turkey has nothing to offer.Turkey flexes naval muscles as neighbours fear escalating arms race"There are two main mediators in this conflict: Egypt and Qatar. They're the two actors that have leverage over Hamas. Turkey, despite its very open support of Hamas, has very little leverage on Hamas's decisions," said Lindenstrauss."So Turkey is not effective – it doesn't have the money to push Hamas in a certain direction, it doesn't have the political leverage over Hamas to push it in the right direction. In practice ...Turkey is not very efficient."So I don't think it's a mistake that Turkey is not part of this [mediation] process."Ankara has been quick to point out that existing mediation efforts between Hamas and Israel have achieved little, with the conflict now spreading to Lebanon.However, some experts claim Ankara's diplomatic sidelining has a broader message of Arab countries pushing back against Turkey's involvement in the region."None of the Arab countries would like to get Turkey involved in this process," said international relations expert Huseyin Bagci, of Ankara's Middle East Technical University."Turkey could be considered by their views as the enemy of Israel, but it is artificial. The Middle East Arab-Israeli conflict since 1948 has been an Arab-Israeli conflict, not a Turkish-Israeli conflict."Turkey and Egypt bury the hatchet with a dozen new bilateral dealsRegional ambitionsFor more than a decade, Erdogan has sought to project Turkey's influence across the Middle East, often referring to the years of Ottoman rule as the halcyon days of peace and tranquillity.But the latest Middle East war has ended such dreams, analyst Ozel said."The Turkish government thought that they could dominate the Middle East. They played the game of hegemony seeking, and they lost it," Ozel explained."When they lost it, Turkey found itself way behind [the position] it had prior to 2011 when their grandiose scheme of creating a region which would be dominated by Turkey began."As the Israel-Hamas war threatens to escalate across the region, Erdogan's rhetoric against Israel will likely continue. But analysts warn that outside of the leader's conservative base at home, few others in the region will be receptive.
This week's episode of CURE America with Star Parker brings a powerful and urgent focus on Israel's war against Hamas, following the brutal October 7th terrorist attacks. With Israel under fire and global anti-Semitism rising, Star and her guests tackle the need for bold U.S. leadership in standing unapologetically with Israel. E.J. Kimball, from the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement, exposes how radical groups like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) are openly spreading pro-Hamas propaganda across more than 200 U.S. college campuses. This is not just about politics—this is a calculated, dangerous rise in anti-Semitism, masked as anti-Zionism, targeting both Israel and America's foundational Judeo-Christian values. Greg Gross, a defense expert, makes it clear that the Biden administration's weak, indecisive response is hurting Israel. He contrasts this with President Trump's strong leadership in advancing the Abraham Accords and supporting Israel without compromise. Gross argues that any ceasefire would only serve Hamas' interests, putting Israel—and global stability—at even greater risk. Star Parker and her guests call for real action, urging viewers to pressure universities and government leaders to stop funding groups that promote anti-Semitic violence. This episode delivers a strong message: now is the time to defend Israel, protect our values, and demand accountability from weak leadership that is failing both America and its allies.
With Israel declaring pagers and wallow-talkies as weapons of war, has a new line been crossed leaving civilians vulnerable?
With Israel thwarting a ceasefire process that could stop the carnage in Gaza, can the United Nations fulfill its mandate to unite for peace? We speak to Gerald Horne for this month's episode of the F-Word on fascism. And as the world awaits retaliation by Iran for Israel's attack on its capital, the wait is part of the punishment for Israel, which is a large stain on the image of so-called Western democracies. Plus headlines: There were talks in Qatar on Thursday for a potential ceasefire in Israel's attack on Gaza but little progress was reported. Meanwhile the U.N. Security Council met in an emergency session on Tuesday, August 13th after The Prayer Massacre. Russian ambassador to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy told the UNSC that the U.S. has consistently prevented it from taking meaningful action to stop to bloodshed in Gaza. Meanwhile a group of activists protested at the U.S. mission to the U.N., urging them to take action to stop Israel's attacks on Gaza. In Ohio, a police officer has been indicted on murder and other charges in the shooting of a 21-year-old pregnant Black mother. Comemmorations were held in Ferguson, Missouri, to mark the 10th anniversary of the 2014 murder of Michael Brown. After four byears of house arrest, a Houston man, Muzzamil Zaidi, was sentenced to time already served because he transferred funds for humanitarian relief in Yemen through religious leaders in Iran. On Friday August 16, the DC for Ceasefire Coalition staged a city-wide action called Not Another Bomb to call for an immediate ceasefire and arms embargo on Israel.

With Israel in the headlines, many Christians are teaching that God is done with Israel due to their wickedness and rebellion.

Sunday, 7 July 2024 The Book of Matthew; an Introduction – Part III With some of the interesting patterns found within the book of Matthew complete, we now return to finish the list of main purposes for the writing of the book. 4) The Pivotal Placement of Acts: The layout of the Bible forms innumerable patterns. One is seen in the order of how the books are placed, with Matthew beginning a key section of this layout – Tent of Shem: Genesis - Malachi (Law) Synoptic Gospels according to the naming of Noah's sons (OT Law Fulfillment) * Matthew – Directed predominantly to Shem * Mark – Directed predominantly to Ham * Luke – Directed predominantly to Japheth Mixture/Transition John (mixture of OT Law and NT concepts/theology) Acts – Transition / Jerusalem to Rome / Peter to Paul / Jew to Gentile / Shem to Japheth Tent of Japheth (dwelling in, meaning between, tents of Shem) Romans-Philemon – to Gentile-led church Tent of Shem Hebrews, James, 1 & 2 Peter to Jews (Shem) Mixture John (mixture) Jude (mixture, final letter of warning) Summary from John's time until the end Revelation - 1:1 - 4:1 (church – Japheth) 4:2 - 19:21 (tribulation upon the whole world) 21 - (millennial reign and final battle – Shem) 22 - (restoration of all things good for all of mankind) * Matthew begins the section of Law Fulfillment where Jesus' words and actions are directed specifically to the people of Israel who were serving under the law. During that entire period, no person was able to fulfill the law. According to Leviticus 18:5, the person who fulfilled the law would live. However, all continued to die. Matthew's gospel, beginning with Jesus' genealogy, is provided to show that Jesus was the qualified Messiah, anticipated from ages past. The gospel narrative is then provided to show that Jesus is the capable Messiah who did, in fact, fulfill the law. In His fulfillment of it, the law was annulled, and a New Covenant was introduced. 5) Doctrinal Themes: Historical – This reveals the actual life of Israel's Messiah, from birth through to His atoning death and glorious resurrection. Spiritual – This reveals the fulfillment of the law, God's standard by which the man who did the things of the law would live. Apostolic – This begins to reveal the united message of the synoptic gospels even though Matthew has a distinct audience (directed most specifically to the Jews and identifying Jesus as their Messiah/King). Political – This gospel reveals the truth that Christianity stemmed from Judaism and is the fulfillment of it, thus it establishes faith in Jesus as a legitimate religion (Religio Licita) within the Roman empire. Prophetic – This reveals the fulfillment of innumerable prophecies within the Jewish writings, some explicitly cited by Matthew. 6) A Very Brief Outline: The Book of Matthew – Messiah as King Book Superstructure/ The Son of David** Book Structure/ Links*** Book Outline Establishing Kingship - The Son of David Link to Genesis 1. The right to rule. Link to Exodus 2. The prophesied King. Link to Leviticus 3. The anointed King. Link to Numbers 4. The kingdom attained and announced. Link to Deuteronomy 5.

Prophetic fulfillment of the Eternal Davidic King Link to Hosea 28. The Risen King and His Great Commission. ** The chosen super-structure is evident from Matthew's identifying Jesus with King David, the genealogy in particular sets the mood. In the first chapter, David is mentioned 6 times; 5 in the genealogy. The genealogy is divided into sections of 14 generations each with David as the link. Interestingly, David is written d-v-d in Hebrew – of which the gematria value is 14. d = 4 v = 6 d = 4, or a total of 14. *** It is certain that chapter and verse divisions were not arbitrary but were divinely inspired. Matthew provides wonderful evidence of this fact (although we can be sure he didn't realize it was happening). See attached previously supplied patterns as evidence of these things. Life application: In previous commentaries, the chronologically-snobberous teachings of those who dismiss dispensationalism have been addressed. Just because something new is introduced into biblical interpretation, it does not mean that what is presented is invalid. Suitable explanations for why dismissing dispensationalism is inappropriate were presented. One of the doctrines that arises because of the dispensational model is that of the rapture. The doctrine is necessary because what happens to the church in Christ's coming, if it has actually not replaced Israel, is not sufficiently addressed by earlier teachings within the church. From a dispensational understanding of biblical writings, the coming of Christ in His return to save Israel cannot be the same as the coming of Christ to receive His church. This is because even if the church is a part of the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12), it is not the nation of Israel. Paul never hints at such a notion. Therefore, the writings of Paul in 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Thessalonians 4, and 2 Thessalonians 2 cannot be speaking of matters related to Israel. In dismissal of this, rapture deniers say that the term “rapture” is never mentioned by Paul. However, a doctrine does not need a specific word for it to be valid. The doctrine of original sin is clearly taught in Scripture, even if no such term is ever used. Likewise, the teaching of the Trinity is accepted by all orthodox Christian teachers of Scripture, and yet the name is never used. Matthew's gospel is directed to Israel, under the law and demonstrating Christ's fulfillment of the law. With that complete, the New Covenant was introduced. With Israel's rejection of Christ, they were placed under the punishments of the Law of Moses, having remained under that law until a future date. At that time, the Gentiles took the prominent role in the church while the number of Jews decreased to the point where there was but a remnant left at any time during the church age. When the dispensation of grace ends, the church must be removed in order to refocus the redemptive narrative on the nation of Israel. Matthew's gospel has introduced something new into the redemptive narrative, the coming of Jesus Christ. Only in understanding the history of the world from a dispensational viewpoint does the overall scenario of what God is doing make proper sense. There will be a rapture of the church. After that, the world will be prepared for Jesus' return to His long-wayward people to rule among them for a thousand years. Matthew clearly indicates that it is up to Israel's decision to acknowledge Jesus for Him to physically return to the earth and accomplish this – “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'” Matthew 23:37-39 Jerusalem refers to the national leadership of Israel, not the church. The church has already said “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” They have done so for two thousand years. However, a day lies ahead when Israel will do this as well. Lord God, thank You for allowing us to see wonderful treasures in Your word. They give us every confidence that it truly is from You, and it is revealing Your heart and mind to us. Yes, Lord God, thank You for Your precious word. Amen!

Pro-Palestinian protests have been popping up at universities around the world, and in the last few days things have escalated at a number of those campuses. Columbia University called on police to shutdown the encampment on their university lawn and 300 people were arrested. At University of California Los Angeles, about 200 pro-Israel counter-protestors raided a pro-Palestinian encampment. To get first hand accounts of the protests, Brittany talks to two student journalists: Shaanth Nanguneri, an undergraduate reporter at UCLA, and Claire Davenport, a graduate reporter at Columbia University in New York.Then, Eurovision may seem like a quaint, quirky event to Americans but it's a huge cultural event that easily surpasses the Super Bowl in terms of global viewership. And for an apolitical event, Eurovision can teach us a lot about geopolitics. This year, all eyes are on Israel, which is not European but has been a competitor since the 70s. With Israel's ongoing conflict in Gaza, there's a lot of politicking for and against its inclusion at the song contest. Brittany chats with Eurovision scholar Paul David Flood about Israel's controversial song and dance at Eurovision... and why Americans might want to pay attention.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
We begin the show with the wider war nobody wants and the chain reaction playing out in the Middle East. With Israel and Iran's decades-long shadow war now playing out in the open, the rules of engagement are being completely re-written. Christiane spoke to Britain's former top spy John Sawers about the volatile situation. Meanwhile, in the absence of vital US aid for Ukraine, other allies are stepping in to fill the vacuum. The Czech Republic is now leading an international effort to deliver a million and a half artillery shells to Ukraine within a year. Czech President Petr Pavel - a former army general, and senior NATO official – joins Christiane from Prague. The world's biggest democratic exercise is underway in India as nearly a billion eligible voters decide whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi deserves a third term. CNN's Will Ripley explains what's at stake for this crucial US ally. Ukrainian Maestro Oksana Lyniv is a classical music trailblazer with a passion for conducting shaped by her life and the war in her homeland. Christiane met her at the New York Metropolitan Opera. From the Amanpour Archive this week, we revisit Christiane's conversations with the stakeholders at the center of the aborted 2015 nuclear deal, which would have reshaped the Middle East as we know it. And, with military aid locked up in congress, Ukraine's air defense crisis deepens by the day and Putin is pressing the advantage. Christiane asks Donald Trump's former Defense Secretary Mark Esper if he thinks GOP holdouts have fallen victim to Putin's propaganda. Learn more about your ad choices.

With Israel still very much at war, the country's 'new normal' continues to permeate its music. Yes, some of the new music is very raw, very painful, and very powerful. Other songs are as seemingly as mundane as can be, as Israeli music continues to shift onto topics other than the war. Still, nearly every song you hear these days can be interpreted differently due to today's complicated reality. Take, for example, Israel's 2024 Eurovision entry, 'Hurricane.' Even though the song sounds completely 'pareve,' we all know it's about Israel's current state of affairs and the pain so many of us are feeling. You'll hear the song this week, along with many other new releases...all guaranteed to make you think, make you cry, make you smile, and make you connect to Israel on a deeper level.

Over the weekend, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III announced a series of actions to bolster the US military presence in the Middle East. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group has been redirected to the Central Command area of responsibility in addition to the Navy’s most advanced nuclear aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which is currently positioned in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group now joins the USS Gerald R. Ford group, bringing the number of American warships in the region to 10. There are 4,500 sailors on board the US aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, accompanied by five other ships carrying over 1,600 US troops. Onboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier is 5,000 service members, with further ships carrying another 1,000 troops. Last week, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin placed 2,000 forces on standby to “be ready to deploy.” The forces will now be ready to be deployed to the Eastern Mediterranean within 24 hours, Fox News reported. The order came just days after a special operations Marine Corps unit participating in exercises departed early “as a result of emerging events.” Over the weekend, Austin placed an unspecified number of US troops under “prepare to deploy” orders. Austin said in a statement: “I have placed an additional number of forces on prepare to deploy orders as part of prudent contingency planning, to increase their readiness and ability to quickly respond as required.” Meanwhile, up to six Chinese Warships have been spotted in waters near the Middle East. IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said in a statement: “We need to enter under the best possible conditions, and this is what we are doing now, as the next stage of war approaches.” “From today, we are increasing the strikes and minimizing the danger.” “We will narrow the risks to our forces over the next stages. This is why we have once again urged residents of Gaza to keep moving south,” he added. As The Daily Fetched reported: Many media outlets have taken Hagari’s words as meaning they are preparing for an imminent ground assault. https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/israel-mideast-assets/2023/10/22/id/1139191/ US Rushes Advanced THAAD Missile Defense to Mideast Fears that the Israel-Hamas war could mushroom into a wider Middle East conflict rose on Sunday with Washington warning of a significant risk to U.S. interests in the region as ally Israel pounded Gaza and clashes on its border with Lebanon intensified. Gaza's Health Ministry said 266 Palestinians, including 117 children, had been killed by Israeli air strikes in the past 24 hours in the enclave, to which Israel laid "total siege" after a deadly mass infiltration into Israel by Hamas gunmen on Oct. 7. In neighboring Syria, where Hamas' main regional backer Iran has a military presence, Israeli missiles hit Damascus and Aleppo international airports early on Sunday, putting both out of service and killing two workers, Syrian state media said. Along Israel's northern border with Lebanon, the Iran-backed Hezbollah group has clashed with Israeli forces in support of Hamas in the deadliest escalation of frontier violence since an Israel-Hezbollah war in 2006. With violence around its heavily guarded borders increasing, Israel on Sunday added 14 communities close to Lebanon and Syria to its evacuation contingency plan in the north of the country. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh called on the international community to create "a united front" to stop Israel's attacks against Gaza and allow in desperately needed aid which has only begun to trickle in. "We place at the top of our priorities stopping the Israeli aggression (...) and bringing in medical and relief aid to prevent a major humanitarian catastrophe," Shtayyeh said during a meeting with 25 ambassadors, representatives and consuls. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Saturday that Washington would send more military assets to the Middle East in support of Israel and strengthen the U.S. defense posture in the region after "recent escalations by Iran and its proxy forces" - a reference to Hezbollah, Palestinian and other militants. Austin told ABC's "This Week" program on Sunday: "We're concerned about potential escalation. In fact, what we're seeing ... is the prospect of a significant escalation of attacks on our troops and our people throughout the region. "If any group or any country is looking to widen this conflict and take advantage of this very unfortunate situation ... our advice is: don’t," he added. Austin said a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and extra Patriot air defense missile system battalions will be sent to the region and more troops put on standby. Iranian security officials told Reuters Iran's strategy was for Middle East proxies like Hezbollah to pursue limited strikes on Israeli and U.S. targets but to avoid a major escalation that would draw in Tehran, a high-wire act for the Islamic Republic. Israel unleashed an aerial blitz on Gaza to its southwest after Hamas militants breached the border on Oct. 7 and killed 1,400 people, mainly civilians, and took 212 hostages back to Gaza. Gaza's Health Ministry said on Sunday that Israel's air and missile strikes in retaliation had killed at least 4,741 and wounded 15,898, with over a million of the densely populated enclave's 2.3 million people displaced. Israel has amassed tanks and troops near the fenced border around Gaza for a planned ground invasion aiming to annihilate Hamas, after several inconclusive wars dating to its seizure of power there in 2007, after Israel ended a 38-year occupation. Several Egyptian guards on the border with Gaza suffered minor injuries on Sunday after being accidentally hit by fragments of a shell from an Israeli tank, the Egyptian army said. Israel's defense force expressed "sorrow regarding the incident," which it said was being investigated. Hamas's armed wing said it had fired more rockets at Tel Aviv on Sunday. There was no immediate word of damage or casualties. With Israel keeping up daily bombings, Palestinians said they received renewed Israeli military warnings to move from Gaza's north to the south to avoid the deadliest theater of the war. They said military leaflets dropped on the territory, just 45 km (28 miles) long, contained the added warning that they could be identified as sympathizers with a "terrorist organization" if they stayed put. Gaza's Health Ministry said most of the dead from air strikes over the past 24 hours were in Gaza's south. Israel says it is only targeting militants and that they often use residential buildings as cover. The first humanitarian aid convoy allowed into Gaza since war erupted arrived in southern Gaza from Egypt on Saturday after days of negotiations. The U.N. said the 20-truck convoy brought life-saving medical supplies and some food. A second convoy of around 19 trucks loaded with medical and food supplies entered the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing on Sunday and was being inspected before proceeding into Gaza, sources said. An explosion and ambulance sirens were heard on Sunday afternoon, shortly after the second convoy had entered the crossing, witnesses said. The cause and exact location were not immediately clear. The U.N. humanitarian office said the volume of aid entering so far was just 4% of the daily average before the hostilities and a fraction of what was needed with food, water, medicines and fuel stocks running out. Deprived of electricity and water, Gazans in the southern town of Khan Younis said they were struggling to feed their children. “We are suffering extremely, waiting since dawn to get bread. If this continues for two more days it will be catastrophic,” said Saleh Skafi, a father of four from north Gaza now sheltering in Khan Younis. Now, on this note - let’s take a look at the overall situation across the globe… https://www.axios.com/2023/10/20/biden-government-war-fears-israel-hamas Behind the Curtain: Rattled U.S. government fears wars could spread Never before have we talked to so many top government officials who, in private, are so worried about so many overseas conflicts at once. We don't like to sound dire. But to sound a siren of clinical, clear-eyed realism: U.S. officials say this confluence of crises poses epic concern and historic danger. Behind the scenes: Officials tell us that inside the White House, this was the heaviest, most chilling week since President Biden took office just over 1,000 days ago. Former Defense Secretary Bob Gates — who ran the Pentagon under presidents of both parties, George W. Bush and Barack Obama — tells us America is facing the most crises since World War II ended 78 years ago. He explains the White House's system overload like this: "There's this gigantic funnel that sits over the table in the Situation Room. And all the problems in the world end up coming through that funnel to the same eight or 10 people. There's a limit to the bandwidth those eight or 10 people can have." Israel's response to the Hamas terrorist attack, and growing fear of a spreading war that reaches to Iran and beyond. Officials point to the protests, threats and deadly, anti-American warnings of Arab nations after they thought — incorrectly — Israel struck a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds. This is a preview of what they fully expect will be a worldwide response to the expected Israeli invasion of Gaza. The U.S. is deploying two aircraft carriers to the region. A U.S. Navy destroyer on Thursday shot down missiles from Yemen that appeared headed toward Israel. U.S. troops were fired on this week by drones in Syria and Iraq. Vladimir Putin meeting in China this week with Xi Jinping to further strengthen their anti-America alliance. In a new Foreign Affairs article that top officials are sharing, Gates argues that both leaders believe America and other big democracies "are past their prime and have entered an irreversible decline." Putin and Xi sniff weakness and are activating on many fronts… This Reuters headline says it all: "Russia says it is coordinating Middle East policy with China." A malicious Iran. It's unclear how involved Iran was in orchestrating or assisting the Hamas terrorist attack — but officials seem certain there are ties. More worrisome: U.S. officials fear Hezbollah — a much bigger terrorist group than Hamas, funded by Iran — will strike the moment Israel gets stuck in Gaza. Biden said Thursday night in his Oval Office address: "Iran is supporting Russia in Ukraine, and it's supporting Hamas and other terrorist groups in the region." Then there's the unhinged leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, and his frequent testing of long-range, nuclear-capable missiles. As Gates points out, the combined nuclear arsenal of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea "could within a few years be nearly double the size of" America's. A new weapon is being deployed in all these conflicts: a massive spread of doctored or wholly fake videos to manipulate what people see and think in real time. The architects of these new technologies, in background conversations after demonstrating new capabilities soon to be released, say even the sharpest eyes looking for fake videos will have an impossible time detecting what's real. (We'll have a column coming soon to Go Deeper on this topic). Fake video, on top of bots (fake people) and fake written content, is being used aggressively by all anti-American actors, intelligence officials say. Some experts estimate that more than 90% of content on the internet will soon be fake or manipulated. What scares officials is how all five threats could fuse into one. The State Department on Thursday issued a rare "Worldwide Caution," warning U.S. travelers abroad of "increased tensions in various locations around the world" that raise "the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests." These simultaneous threats are hitting at the very moment the American political system seems — and sometimes is — literally broken. It's not just that Republicans don't have a House speaker and can't seem to elect one, or that we might shut down the government in the middle of this mess, or that we're hurtling toward another toxic presidential election in which big chunks of both parties want different candidates. Former top intelligence officials tell us domestic unrest is one of their biggest fears — whether it's triggered by court rulings against President Trump or protests over war in the Middle East. Biden allies frame these flare-ups as a reminder that global chaos requires calm and experience. "With age comes wisdom," Ron Klain, Biden's first chief of staff, told us. But there has been a total collapse of people's trust in the opposing party, the media, what they see or share on social platforms, and even the top-secret intelligence the government relies on to measure these threats. This, as much as the five individual threats above, is what worries officials. They know things could get worse — fast — and require tough actions — fast. And no one knows whether Congress or the public could unite in an emergency. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/10/22/londons-met-police-declare-calling-for-jihad-is-lawful-as-word-has-number-of-meanings/ London Police Declare Calling for Jihad Is Lawful as Word has ‘Number of Meanings’ London’s Metropolitan Police have come under criticism for their seemingly lax approach towards pro-Palestine demonstrations and for giving excuses for those calling for “jihad” against Israel on the streets of the British capital. An estimated 100,000 anti-Israel protesters took to the streets of London on Saturday. Ahead of the demonstration, the Met police warned activists that they may face arrest if they were seen to be supporting proscribed terror groups like Hamas. However, while several people were arrested and some investigations continue, the police force drew considerable backlash for appearing to excuse calls for jihad. Responding to footage of a speaker calling for jihad while standing in front of a placard calling on the “Muslim armies” of the world to attack Israel, the Met said on X: “The word jihad has a number of meanings but we know the public will most commonly associate it with terrorism. “We have specialist counter-terrorism officers here in the operations room who have particular knowledge in this area. They have assessed this video, filmed at the protest in central London today, and have not identified any offences arising from the specific clip. However, recognising the way language like this will be interpreted by the public and the divisive impact it will have, officers have identified the man involved and will be speaking to him shortly to discourage any repeat of similar chanting.” Yet users on social media noted that the Metropolitan Police’s own hate crime guide states: “The offence of incitement to hatred occurs when someone acts in a way that is threatening and intended to stir up hatred… Hate content may include: messages calling for violence against a specific person or group.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1715732342604505530 - Play Video While the Arabic word literally translates to “struggle” and has been used in other, more peaceful contexts, observers noted that the context of the call for jihad on Saturday in London was a literal war cry against Israel. Journalist Andy Ngo, who covered the London rally on Saturday, said: “I was there and the speaker was specifically talking about getting military leaders and countries to mobilize armies of Muslims to go to Palestinian territories to assist the (those who do jihad) against Israel in a holy battle for Islam.” The post has received widespread derision, with author Douglas Murray writing: “Yes, oh Imam of the Met Police. Those guys definitely looked like they were calling for an intense inner spiritual struggle. Got it in one.” Political commentator Darren Grimes added: “Shouting ‘Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!’ won’t get you arrested in Britain, but telling a copper that they look like your lesbian nan as a teenager will see six officers pound your door down.”
