The NXR Podcast - THE LIVESTREAM - A Tale of Two Easters & Trump’s Antisemitism Taskforce

00:00:00.000 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.

00:00:03.820 I get it. It's annoying. Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.

00:00:07.660 When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm

00:00:12.040 so that our podcast shows up on more people's newsfeeds.

00:00:16.280 You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.

00:00:21.860 We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.

00:00:26.800 last year we did an entire live stream on how the biden administration chose to celebrate easter

00:00:33.720 most notably by declaring march 31st easter day as transgender day of visibility it was the

00:00:41.480 inauguration of really a new religion but one that in god's grace appears to have been short-lived

00:00:48.560 a mere year later with trump now in office we got a robust theological celebration of easter

00:00:55.660 from the highest office in the land, not just well wishes or platitudes about God's love for

00:01:02.360 all of us, but an assertion of how in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we have

00:01:09.300 redemption and forgiveness for our sins and the hope of eternal life. Now, in the midst of every

00:01:16.500 we're so back is an inevitable it's so over moment. This year, while the threat to Easter

00:01:23.660 is certainly not as pronounced and obvious as under the Biden presidency, a new and perhaps

00:01:30.180 really an old plan of the enemy is being run. See, the story of Easter is in part the story

00:01:37.440 of a rebellious people. In one sense, we are that rebellious people, turning everyone to our own way

00:01:44.820 and needing the death of the spotless Lamb of God to atone for our own sin. But it is also a

00:01:52.060 historical story in which Christ came to his own and his own received him not. Christ was offered

00:01:59.420 up to death by the Jews and they have opposed him, the apostles, and mankind ever since. Telling the 1.00

00:02:08.460 story of Easter without the sober warning of the destruction awaiting those who reject Christ

00:02:14.580 is not to tell the story of Easter at all. Now that simple statement that I just made may very

00:02:21.340 soon become a very, very costly statement for any of us to make. This week, Trump also appointed

00:02:29.920 a Jewish rabbi to lead the special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism. The most 0.72

00:02:36.880 commonly used definition of anti-Semitism from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance

00:02:42.920 explicitly asserts that claiming the Jews killed Jesus is, in fact, anti-Semitic. This may be the

00:02:50.760 dividing truth of our generation? Will you stand for what the Bible says, including when it is

00:02:56.700 inconvenient and possibly even illegal? Or was all that talk for these past decades about

00:03:03.840 infallibility, inerrancy, and sufficiency of the scripture really just talk after all?

00:03:37.160 all right i gotta be honest guys i am struggling to trust the plan

00:03:49.160 i i think that uh is there a plan yeah well i just i feel like the economy i believe in the

00:03:55.280 tariffs i don't have a problem with that um i think the economy will probably experience a

00:03:59.580 shallow recession but i do think that we will uh we'll be so back and better than ever before

00:04:04.580 economically um but i'm just wondering you know what's the weather like this time of year in el

00:04:09.680 salvador because we're going we're going right exactly like the fact that like vacation yeah

00:04:14.680 the fact that all of you are going to have a better economy and a golden age in america that's

00:04:18.040 great for you i i'm sincerely i really am i'm sincerely happy for you um but for all those

00:04:23.980 anti-semites um i yeah i'm just i'm struggling to trust the plan i feel like all right well you

00:04:30.260 know if america is doing well it doesn't really matter because i'm going to be in el salvador

00:04:33.120 that said deportations another element that i'm struggling to trust the plan a little bit with

00:04:38.320 but that one is a simple solution all we have to do is convince trump that about 40 million people

00:04:45.620 who shouldn't be here are anti-semitic there we go they'll immediately be like faster than i mean

00:04:51.180 it'll be natural born citizens you're out you know this person's out everybody's out um so that's a 0.97

00:04:55.980 good way to get rid of a lot of them are catholics so they hold you know the catholic position on 1.00

00:05:00.000 israel which is to say you know just the historic christian position so yeah we'll see and that's 1.00

00:05:04.080 the thing is like honestly it's it's difficult you guys know that we've gotten a lot of flack

00:05:08.240 uh as we have uh dared to broach uh such a controversial subject you know that all of

00:05:13.840 christendom has been pretty pretty unified for a very long time uh but really it's only controversial

00:05:19.040 as we've dared to breach it um because of our particular wing of christianity which i'm almost

00:05:25.600 at this point ashamed to say but it is true and i'm convicted and i hold these truths um protestant

00:05:31.920 among protestants we're the ones who are getting flack um catholics not so much eastern orthodox

00:05:39.120 not so much when roman catholics and eastern orthodox when they say yeah you know what um

00:05:45.760 jews are made in the image of god and uh and can be saved and we do the work of an evangelist and

00:05:52.880 we love them and wish them a very pleasant conversion to christianity but aside from that 0.95

00:05:56.960 um judaism is a pernicious evil uh there has been much um subversive uh involvement in other 1.00

00:06:07.540 countries governments over the course of centuries and and we're not going to pretend that that's 0.98

00:06:14.680 not a thing and also uh you know the jews killed the lord jesus and persecuted the apostles and 0.68

00:06:21.880 oppose all mankind they're Catholics and EO are perfectly comfortable with quoting scripture 0.94

00:06:26.500 it's only Protestants and I think you know maybe it's because of dispensationalism and Schofield 0.99

00:06:31.460 and all those kinds of things I certainly think that's part of it but Protestants it's just like 0.82

00:06:37.440 like every time I'm talking to another Protestant Christian and I will you know don't just tell me

00:06:41.120 what you're against you know feminism and anti-semitism you know or like well I'm not

00:06:45.600 against it but like Zionism you know whatever like but tell me a positive vision and the best

00:06:51.860 way i can explain it to my fellow protestant brothers is i say all the things that you've

00:06:55.620 been taught from the womb to hold dear and to cherish and desire and pray for and work for

00:07:02.940 for the country of israel i just want that for america right right that's the best way i can

00:07:09.160 explain the positive vision is like all these things of like uh to have people and place and

00:07:15.440 a heritage and home and to not have that disrupted by you know flooding in the third world and like

00:07:22.240 all the things that you desire for israel all the things that i mean like when owen strand is you 1.00

00:07:27.740 know like i've been banned off of i've been banned off imagine this i've been banned off of x for

00:07:34.100 being too supportive of israel he literally thought that he actually he's entertaining

00:07:38.580 that's not even no it's funny it's a good criticism anymore for me of him yeah it's a

00:07:42.720 great father so you know he's like hey guys i've been gone for a while you know i really was

00:07:48.240 upsetting the overlords by being too supportive of israel it's just hilarious but then you know

00:07:55.100 as soon as he got that out of the way in in all seriousness no joking whatsoever then immediately 0.72

00:08:00.020 followed it up you know with like um i you know i'll i will be persecuted with israel stand for 0.79

00:08:07.960 israel suffer with israel and not just jews uh jews would be like i'll suffer with jews if 0.77

00:08:14.100 necessary be persecuted with jews and if necessary die with jews and i was like and here's the thing 0.83

00:08:19.780 like in terms of a positive vision it's like so what's your positive vision joel you know it's 0.79

00:08:23.860 just the things you're against and like is there anything that you're for yes i'm for that right

00:08:27.980 you just picture the meme the guy who's by the whiteboard you know guys um this and you hold up

00:08:33.300 but for christians in america for americans for americans and predominantly christians

00:08:41.460 like that like that's all i want i want what i want owen strand's vision except for my people

00:08:48.360 spiritually christians and naturally americans heritage americans that's that's it i want

00:08:55.940 everything that every protestant wants except they want it for another group and they want it

00:09:02.500 for another group that historically speaking has been very subversive towards the doctrine and

00:09:08.660 teaching and beauty of christ so they literally what what my protestant brothers want for their

00:09:14.400 enemies i want for my people that's my positive vision so struggling to trust the plan uh i think

00:09:21.200 trump you know economy uh i know it's it's tough right now like oh gbp oh you know like the stock

00:09:26.440 market the s&p 500 the nasdaq um so much of that has been inflated like like with p ratios of like

00:09:33.060 90 you know on on some of the big tech stocks and all this like that was that was going to have to

00:09:37.900 you can't get out of the mess we've made right without uh repentance is always costly right so

00:09:43.800 if you're repenting you're changing courses um then then it's going to cost a little bit but

00:09:48.460 you know what's more costly than repentance continuing in sin right that's always more

00:09:53.780 costly right so i it's it's hurting your portfolio a little bit but you know by and large i think

00:09:58.600 it's absolutely going to be better for us and certainly better for the next generation for our

00:10:02.940 sons uh that they could actually be gainfully employed and all these things if it sticks if it

00:10:06.900 works so uh i you know there's your where so back and then the easter you know uh post from the

00:10:12.480 white house we're going to get into that uh we're so back so i mean from transgender visibility day

00:10:17.720 to you know the the the life and death and resurrection of jesus christ and the forgiveness

00:10:22.240 of sins like oh my goodness and just one year that's a we're so back moment so i'm like we're

00:10:28.560 so back you're like the stock market we're so back with the economy you know all these things

00:10:32.740 i'm and i really am i don't i don't want to minimize it i i'm not being sarcastic i really

00:10:37.940 am grateful to the lord first and foremost and i'm grateful to president trump and i'm grateful

00:10:43.760 to all the normie evangelicals who helped get him into office because it wouldn't have happened

00:10:49.080 without a bunch of zionist just be evangelicals the salt of the earth these are people i like how

00:10:54.260 like tucker and andrew said it they're like they bifurcated the ideology from the people you're

00:10:59.840 talking about some of the most precious people on the planet and we get that you know so like

00:11:03.280 salt of the earth people who that yes they love them some israel but they don't know any better

00:11:07.560 that's all they've ever been taught they're just trying to be faithful to the scripture

00:11:10.180 but you bet your bottom dollar they went and they casted their vote for for donald trump they

00:11:14.080 block walked for their local state representative that's a christian and that got us from

00:11:17.680 transgender visibility day to uh the life death and burial you know and resurrection of jesus

00:11:23.740 christ so super excited about all those things but i i have to be honest um we we want to be

00:11:29.860 the channel i'll leave it with this i'm going to throw it to wes and we'll talk about all this kind

00:11:33.160 of stuff and we'll talk about one at a time so i'm just i'm just fine from the hip but uh this

00:11:37.560 is what i want to say we want to be the channel that you can tune into um that's not just shilling

00:11:43.800 for trump right but also does not have trump derangement syndrome and it's just like oh you

00:11:50.560 want to you want a middle way joel no i don't want a third way you call it something else anything

00:11:55.060 else besides that but we want to be honest because there's a lot of guys right now who are like

00:11:59.660 um oh so like uh uh we're gonna have uh anti-semitism laws and appointing you know like

00:12:06.320 chiefs of staff to you know to crack down on anti-semitism and and we've got guys like guys 0.88

00:12:11.880 that we love guys that we're friends with who are co-belligerents and and they're like trust the 0.58

00:12:15.820 plan it's 40 chess no dude he's just a zionist he's just a zionist my my guy like you you taught

00:12:23.620 me some of these things i'm sorry like wake up he's a zionist and i'll argue that's more especially

00:12:30.480 in the second segment a more recent evolution which is kind of encouraging yes he got a lot

00:12:34.360 of money and a lot of support and a lot of we want to get behind you for this second technically

00:12:38.500 third election you know being successfully so it feels like a more recent thing but that is

00:12:43.080 undeniable right now right so we need to be honest about that like no there really are some problems

00:12:47.820 like and you think like oh this is just some niche fringe what it's not right it's i i really do

00:12:53.440 believe that this may be one of the biggest issues of our generation i really do um this issue of

00:12:59.860 of cracking down on on anti-semitism and there being legal you know uh legal consequences

00:13:07.340 for free speech. And free speech is biblical speech. And I've said it before, but I'll say

00:13:14.500 it again because people just tune in for one podcast and they won't see the other things

00:13:17.460 that I've said. So here it is right here in this context. The Bible teaches us that the death of

00:13:22.740 Jesus happened because one, your sin, my sin. Why did Jesus die? Who killed Jesus? I did by my sin.

00:13:31.420 Number two, the father killed Jesus. He was pleased to crush him before the foundations

00:13:35.880 the world were laid it was his ordained plan number three jesus killed jesus no one takes my

00:13:40.820 life from me but i freely lay it down right when they come to arrest him the gospel of john says

00:13:45.240 they literally he says i am he right i am he and they fall back as though dead right nobody could

00:13:51.920 touch him unless he gave himself up he said i could call down legions at any moment he's he's

00:13:56.840 god he's the second member of the godhead so so god the father by his ordination by his plan

00:14:02.200 you and i by our sin which made his death necessary jesus by his voluntary uh willingness

00:14:07.940 to go to the cross in obedience to the father to ransom for himself a people and who would be

00:14:13.020 spotless and without blemish and washed by his blood um and then pilot pilot washed his hands

00:14:18.580 i'm not responsible no he he was he was he was up for re-election he gave in to the people he was a

00:14:23.920 typical compromising politician and many cases yep and then also the romans in the sense that

00:14:30.660 the romans were the ones who literally those particular soldiers they're the ones who literally

00:14:35.020 nailed the nails through his hands through his feet you know stabbed him with the spear in his

00:14:39.680 side on the next day checking if he was dead so they in a literal physical sense killed jesus 0.74

00:14:44.580 also also the jews killed jesus they made a mock kangaroo trial in the middle of the night produced 0.55

00:14:52.900 false witnesses in order to find him guilty and then went and stirred up the crowd to give them

00:15:00.460 to give to them a murderer take him out of prison let him come barabbas right let let uh carmel i

00:15:07.940 mean barabbas give him out out of prison we'll take him um and and then jesus we want him to 0.71

00:15:14.540 stay guilty and the pilot's like what do we do with them again the jewish religious leaders stir 0.77

00:15:19.920 up the crowd and say crucify him and pilots i don't even find him guilty and they say that's 0.83

00:15:24.720 okay let his blood be on us and our children you can't read the scripture and then you go to first 0.75

00:15:32.800 thessalonians uh and it says who the jews who killed the lord jesus person uh drove out the 0.64

00:15:40.340 apostles um persecute the church and our opponents of all mankind so you cannot it it matters because

00:15:47.220 what we're talking about is we're talking about making whole swaths of the scripture the word of

00:15:52.460 god not just you and me and our our own free speech we were talking about taking passages

00:15:57.100 of scripture and making them illegal and making them illegal in america not china but in america

00:16:04.000 illegal in many ways especially in a societally enforced sense so there's kind of definitely an

00:16:08.620 american spirit of free speech and i don't think trump for all his faults will ever get to the

00:16:12.600 point where he's locking up people for necessarily saying that but we have to understand there are

00:16:16.700 huge powerful ways now that you can take someone and you can punish them that are not formal legal

00:16:21.760 sense and if anything those are actually more powerful they are more powerful so speech against

00:16:26.000 like the lgbtq community for example there's never been laws in the books against you know speaking

00:16:31.620 out against it criticizing all of those things aside from of course you like literally threatening

00:16:36.300 or something like that so as long as it's in the critical side you're always allowed to do it

00:16:39.720 but we experienced for eight years you wouldn't even get to keep i don't know like a little bakery

00:16:44.360 if at some point you had a disagreement that went public so it's not even necessarily like will we

00:16:49.740 ever see laws in the books against us i don't know and we maybe could or those would be categories

00:16:53.900 of discrimination but in a more powerful sense societally uh job market big corporations all of

00:17:01.680 those throwing their weight behind it and it being something that you just can't say right

00:17:05.900 we won't legislate an actual law and you'll never go to jail well because that would we're not worried

00:17:10.200 about that we're just going to make sure you can't feed your kids and they starve that's right

00:17:13.420 right right you won't be in jail it's too obvious to do it the former way right at least initially

00:17:18.920 but those are things that we're actually facing so i do not trust the plan let me go on record

00:17:23.500 and say i do not trust the plan and also i voted for trump and do not regret it yep well michael

00:17:29.180 you had a really never met someone like me i want to get into the white pill yeah but i love what

00:17:33.700 you said about the need to pray for trump because i don't know how much of this like i said is like

00:17:37.320 for 30 years he's been like we have got to get that third temple in i've got a plan i'm gonna

00:17:42.200 run for office i'm gonna lose i think he's genuinely caught in the middle what do you think

00:17:46.280 Yeah, I think I don't I don't have any I can't point to like a statistical chart or something like that.

00:17:53.360 But it seems like the whole thing with with because he has been more outspoken against Israel in terms of like, look, we've given you more money than I certainly would have given you.

00:18:05.520 Remember that interview? He's like, well, good deal for you guys.

00:18:07.760 Like, we're bound by it legally. Three million a year. We have to give it three billion.

00:18:11.240 The tariffs. Yep. The tariffs. He's been outspoken against Israel.

00:18:14.500 he has been really critical in some cases of bb netanyahu and then on the other hand he's coming

00:18:20.940 out and appointing someone which west you're going to get into later he didn't do this until

00:18:24.600 the very end of his first term now within the you know the first six months or first four months of

00:18:29.880 his uh second term he's appointing this kind of liaison or whatever to to oversee the task force

00:18:35.380 on anti-semitism and so when i look at that i say he's saying one thing over here he's saying

00:18:40.420 another thing over there, I don't think he's ideological on this issue. I think he's threading

00:18:45.880 the political needle. He made promises to certain donors. He's got people in his cabinet who say

00:18:50.440 things certain ways. And what that tells me, I'm eternally looking for the silver lining. It's

00:18:56.260 maybe not great. But what that tells me is all it takes is the influence one way or the other

00:19:02.840 that's going to tip this thing. I don't think he's going to take an ideological stance on this issue.

00:19:06.540 And so that's why I said we really do need to pray that God would send him reasonable but strong people who will, if they can't win him with the argument, will apply enough of the language that he speaks, which is the deal, the pressure, to tip him in the favor that we're arguing for.

00:19:26.160 yep i think our best hope is this honestly and here's the thing ultimately we're not trusting

00:19:31.640 trump we're trusting the lord right god's sovereign he's the one who guides you know the heart of the

00:19:36.140 king like many waters and whatever direction he wants it to go so god is in control and and in

00:19:41.640 terms of you know human agency and means god works through means um trump's actually pretty easy i

00:19:48.300 mean god he's sovereign so it doesn't there's no no real concept of this this person would be hard

00:19:52.840 for god and his sovereignty to control this person would be easy uh but in the natural human means

00:19:59.320 sense uh trump is super easy it's not ideological for trump trump it's uh who does he uh who does

00:20:06.380 he like aka who who likes him and and two um who does he who does he not like you know who didn't

00:20:14.540 like him and here's the deal this is the best thing we have going for us it's israel

00:20:19.740 israel is great at taking people off netanyahu are you kidding me yeah this guy like it's just 0.98

00:20:28.720 a matter of time trump's gonna be like that guy's a jerk yeah there's an incredible story and he 0.99

00:20:33.500 just wants to use america for his own people and doesn't actually care about us like you're talking 0.99

00:20:38.820 about from 2015 him and his wife the washington post reported who's him would trump uh baby

00:20:43.700 bring their dirty laundry to the white house for their dry cleaning service literally would haul

00:20:49.520 in their laundry when they came to the white house he's like guys we got free dry cleaning

00:20:54.380 this is an old story but i remember like looking in the washington post and being like this can't

00:20:59.340 be real and well i regret to inform you the tunnels in new york and between that story it's

00:21:04.640 like well you know sometimes stereotypes exist for a reason but but i'm serious in the sense

00:21:09.440 that i i really do think that if i had to predict if i'm putting on my nostradamus cap

00:21:14.360 for a moment um i i would not be surprised if trump who i think is a zionist not by ideology

00:21:22.160 but just like we already established the relationship it's just the water he swims

00:21:26.040 in like most americans so much political money and power plus like who's his uh faith uh captain

00:21:32.080 general whatever yeah exactly yeah yeah prosperity gospel evangelicals they love them some israel

00:21:37.300 you know they're giving money to israel so they'll get money back you know whatever so that's i mean

00:21:41.400 that's just that's who he's with that's that's what's going to shape him and influence him i

00:21:44.980 don't think it's like this true conviction or ideology that said um i would not be surprised

00:21:51.000 at all if i'm trying to predict a little bit of the future here um if if trump just gets if

00:21:56.280 something happens knowing israel knowing bibby knowing these guys they're going to do something

00:22:01.680 they won't be able to help themselves oh right like kind of the scorpion kind of scenario like

00:22:05.860 they won't be able to help themselves they're they're going to uh do something slimy and and

00:22:12.200 i think trump's gonna get angry because they're desperate for the u.s backing in the type of

00:22:16.440 middle east engagements that they want yeah like they they understand that practically speaking

00:22:20.600 they need the weapons the munitions the armament they don't need necessarily our troops as far as

00:22:25.340 troops on the ground but they really have wanted for a long time please and anything we do give us

00:22:30.380 the carte blanche you'll be with us you'll fund us you'll support us so that's what they want and

00:22:34.860 you overplay your hand or you get a little bit you know you're the guest in the house and you

00:22:38.320 start helping yourself and the host says get the heck out i was one thing you know to break out

00:22:43.420 break out the good steak it's another thing you're going into my private pantry and pulling out the

00:22:47.180 hundred dollar bottle of wine so watch for something like that to happen and trump be like

00:22:51.340 no come on there's a limit we saw trump have the same realization with zielinski

00:22:55.680 from what i can tell that meeting was not scheduled to go that way right right they were

00:23:01.200 supposed to have a deal but then he showed up and he was like oh he's dressed up really nice

00:23:06.500 you know and it all started like right there but no you're right like it was like that i don't

00:23:11.160 think that was staged i really don't and trump is a showman i mean the guy could i'm not saying

00:23:14.820 he's not capable of staging something or that he wouldn't do it yep based off of some moral compass

00:23:19.060 or wanting to be authentic like no i i don't he could stage it but i don't think it was i think

00:23:24.220 it was just uh he showed up zelinski showed up and he had finally pushed one too many times and

00:23:29.840 trump and vance were like say thank you have you ever said thank you once and threw him out on his

00:23:36.180 butt and um and honestly i could absolutely see that happening to bibby and he's like well you 0.92

00:23:41.440 owe us 50 dollars like he's thrown out you know he's like you owe us 70 take your dry cleaning

00:23:47.580 with you and take your dry cleaning with you don't fall in a tunnel on your way home that's it we're

00:23:52.220 done um that's absolutely possible so let's go to our first commercial break what we're going to do

00:25:38.900 their duty before God and not to have their consciences ruled by the doctrines and commandments

00:25:42.520 of men. Reese Fund exists in order to see the Ten Commandments properly applied, not just as a plaque

00:25:48.380 on the wall, but to actually be used in business as though they're commandments from God that

00:25:53.240 we're supposed to obey. Our goal is to find businesses and to buy them and to build them up.

00:25:59.260 We want to find manufacturing businesses and use them to make sure that we can maintain our

00:26:03.480 capacity to do things here. Reese Fund, Christian Capital, boldly deployed.

00:26:11.580 All right, so I'll play my hand. I think one of the greatest marks is someone that's

00:26:15.960 intellectually honest i'm looking at different commentators and different men is when they can

00:26:19.580 say i don't like so-and-so i strongly disagree with them on a whole range of topics but here's

00:26:24.620 the deal on this they actually make a good point so we've got a lot of people they're very critical

00:26:28.840 of us supporting trump but guys i'm going to read these two statements so this is a comparison from

00:26:33.660 joseph biden president biden of the time this is last year march 31st march 31st easter the day

00:26:39.980 happened to fall on and president trump and even as critical as you are of him as you may be i want

00:26:45.000 you to see this and say, as Paul would say in Philippians 1, whether in pretense or in truth,

00:26:49.760 whatever it is, Christ and his gospel are being proclaimed. So I'm going to read press release.

00:26:54.740 This is the first one from 2023. I'm going to go right on and read Trump's. 2024. No, this one's

00:27:00.240 2023 on the left. Oh, okay. Okay. And then 2025 from Trump. 2023. Now, therefore, I, Joseph R.

00:27:07.520 Biden Jr., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me

00:27:12.140 by the constitution and the laws of the united states to hereby proclaim march 31 2023 easter

00:27:18.880 sunday as transgender day of visibility i call upon all americans to join us in lifting up the 0.99

00:27:25.140 lives and voices of transgender people throughout our nation and to work towards eliminating

00:27:29.760 violence and discrimination against all transgender gender non-conforming and non-binary people and to

00:27:36.240 be clear. I hate it. Don't love it. Thanks. I hate it. To be clear, they did issue a Happy Easter 0.98

00:27:42.480 that was, if anything, I think like 50% shorter than this. But I mean, the bulk of the news was

00:27:46.800 Transgender Day of Visibility. It was like Happy Easter. Yep. So think about that, like Happy 1.00

00:27:50.500 Easter, love and best wishes to you. Here's from over this weekend. During this sacred week, we,

00:27:56.480 that is the White House, acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the

00:28:00.720 sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross. In his final hours on earth, Christ willingly endured

00:28:05.820 excruciating pain torture and execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all of

00:28:11.980 his creation through his suffering we have redemption through his death we are forgiven

00:28:16.740 of our sins through his resurrection we have hope of eternal life on easter morning the stone is

00:28:22.500 rolled away the tomb is empty and light prevails over darkness signaling that death does not have

00:28:28.380 the final word amen amen that and that is glorifying to god and we talk a ton about the

00:28:34.400 state right like well the state's involved in a religion and people get mad when we say the state

00:28:38.800 has a role that they should promote what is true and what is true if not god his law his word his

00:28:45.520 testimony his gospel and this right here when we talk about christian nationalism it sounds so

00:28:50.040 scary it sounds so sinister guys that's christian nationalism in action that is yep yep that's the

00:28:56.660 government speaking the state being distinctly christian right people are like oh separation of

00:29:01.240 church and state church okay i hear what you're saying that's actually a debate we won't get into

00:29:07.060 it we can talk about that some other time we've already done work on that uh but here's what we

00:29:10.540 could all agree on if you're actually a christian you should be able to agree on this um no separation

00:29:15.300 of god in state right christ is the head of the church but christ is also head of the state

00:29:20.520 no no no yes yes yes yes yes ephesians chapter one i believe it's either verse 21 or verse 22

00:29:27.760 where it says and god has appointed him as head of all things all things not just head of the church

00:29:32.920 but head of all things to the church so what's being said there is it because of the life death

00:29:39.260 burial resurrection and ascension of jesus christ to him has been given a name above all other names

00:29:45.360 not the name of jesus it's so that at the name of jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue

00:29:50.700 confess what's the name that's above all other names it's the name lord curios that he is lord

00:29:56.600 of lords and he is king of kings so god has has exalted him above all things all peoples as lord

00:30:05.760 of all and appointed him as head of all things not just head exclusively of the church this is

00:30:11.900 the way to say it theologically christ is not exclusively head of the church he is uniquely

00:30:16.760 head of the church meaning that his headship in particular over the church is unique in the sense

00:30:22.540 that the church is the only institution for which he died so he's uniquely he is head of the church

00:30:28.620 in a way that his headship over all other things is is different christ didn't die for the state

00:30:34.120 christ didn't die for media christ didn't die for the arts christ didn't die for but he's head of

00:30:39.520 all realms of human society and not just human society he's he's head of mars and and pluto and

00:30:45.860 other galaxy he is head of all things he is head of all things and so ephesians 122 when when it

00:30:51.140 says that god has appointed him head of all things to the church what it's saying is that

00:30:54.440 jesus in terms of not that he died for all things he died for the church that's unique but he is

00:31:00.460 head and speaking of his authority he's been placed in supreme authority over all things

00:31:06.280 and that authoritative headship is to the benefit of the church christ being head of all things

00:31:12.580 including the state is all for the ultimate and eternal benefit of his people the church that's

00:31:19.660 what it's saying so separation of church and state okay separation of christ and state no no and so

00:31:26.820 what is christian nationalism well that's one case study this tweet out of the white house i'm not

00:31:32.300 saying that we're there yet we're so back and we have a perfect no there's a lot of work to be done

00:31:36.100 but that would actually be an example of christian nationalism the idea that the state is religiously

00:31:41.160 silent or neutral is a misnomer no the state should be promoting the christian truth yeah it

00:31:48.580 should i'm not saying the state comes into churches and administers the sacraments or

00:31:54.080 preaches on the lord's i'm not saying that but what i am saying is that the state as the state

00:31:59.300 within its realm within its god-given jurisdiction part of its role is to punish bad guys according

00:32:06.180 to the christian morals the bible what what is actually crime what's actually immoral but then

00:32:13.140 also to praise the good and promote I would argue promote the good that means when it's Easter

00:32:19.380 the White House puts out a statement talking about the life death and resurrection of Jesus 1.00

00:32:24.620 and doesn't say anything about transgender visibility day and that's a good thing watch 0.95

00:32:30.200 this comparison because you say like well the state could or it could not acknowledge God

00:32:33.920 like Christ or whatever it is as Lord on that transgender day of visibility what is the story

00:32:38.980 of transgenderism, the death and the rebirth of something. Now, it's not the death and the 0.88

00:32:44.220 rebirth of the Lord Jesus Christ, but it is a macabre, dark, twisted death of one thing,

00:32:50.260 raised again, dead naming. Someone dies in a metaphoric physical sense, and they come back

00:32:56.960 on the other side, but they're not raised to eternal life. Gahardus Voss, commentating in

00:33:01.020 the Old Testament in the sermon, he draws out the contrast between the two trees that are pictured

00:33:05.320 and the tree of life the tree of god the tree of true religion is full of fruit it's vibrant

00:33:10.700 versus the asherah pole versus the pole that is sterile and barren yep and an individual that

00:33:16.340 has died and been buried in a joe biden type of sense comes back on the other side barren dead

00:33:21.960 lifeless never to have fruit again even if they were to be saved that's been taken off 0.60

00:33:26.720 transgender tree the transgender tree and so on easter sunday the united states for the last 0.90

00:33:32.660 couple years at least here now has proclaimed the message of a tree the message of a death 0.56

00:33:38.340 and the message of a resurrection it's just the question of which one and i and i love how that's

00:33:43.460 good trump's announcement too he said and his resurrection and eternal life amen because there's

00:33:48.660 lots of people that would say or they would even if they had to talk about it publicly yes jesus

00:33:53.540 died out of love kind of that first part of the message he died out of love and it's a wonderful

00:33:57.940 story of sacrifice all of these things the moral example it's exactly an example a moral example

00:34:04.500 of sacrificial love for this reason a man would you know give give his life love has no one greater

00:34:09.880 than this that a man would lay down his life for his friends and so that is true the moral example

00:34:13.620 that is one element of of the atonement but that's not the whole enchilada that was also he died as

00:34:21.160 as atonement paying the penalty for sin so that those who trust in him might have eternal life

00:34:27.720 so the moral example of of sacrificial love um doesn't get you to eternal life when you put

00:34:34.100 eternal life in your in your post coming out of the white house the resurrection and now now

00:34:39.000 you're talking about yep you're talking about christmas victor you're talking about penal

00:34:42.320 substitutionary atonement you're like you're talking and that fact of history i mean that's

00:34:47.380 what we've been dealing with for 2 000 years a man came back from the dead and from the highest

00:34:52.780 office on our land the president came out i mean guys it's we'll get to the blackpool in a minute

00:34:57.500 But a man and man saying that, like approving it and saying, hey, it's Easter and Jesus

00:35:01.960 died.

00:35:02.600 There's forgiveness of sins.

00:35:04.380 And did he say forgiveness or repentance?

00:35:06.920 Forgiveness.

00:35:07.120 He said forgiveness.

00:35:08.220 There was one other term he added to it.

00:35:09.980 We have forgiveness of sins and the hope of eternal life.

00:35:13.380 For a minute there, I felt like I was reading the Apostles' Creed, the confession of the

00:35:17.360 Christian faith.

00:35:18.020 And so whether he truly is regenerate or not, this is an incredible proclamation and millions

00:35:23.420 of millions and millions of people by virtue of this by virtue of us talking about it everyone

00:35:27.920 else got to hear the message of the gospel from not the minister not the pulpit not family worship

00:35:34.960 from the state in a good way boniface in the chat he says and we're not trusting the plan

00:35:39.880 let's go i'll tell you what believe it or not based off of that uh that that is an andrew

00:35:44.920 top guy right there he's trusting the plan in line with with his guy andrew isker god

00:35:53.160 bless them uh no this is right response ministries where we uh partially trust the plan hold on i've

00:35:58.960 got one more i also know we're going to go to jail for anti-semitation one other white pill in here

00:36:02.360 so this statement actually the connection between christian nationalism and what the statement says

00:36:08.740 is more uh profound and the statement is more based than we realize uh because he says or the

00:36:15.360 The statement says, execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all his creation.

00:36:23.860 Okay, and Joel, earlier you quoted Ephesians, but Colossians is kind of a parallel book to Ephesians.

00:36:28.900 And Colossians chapter 1, 19 and 20 says this,

00:36:32.660 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, in Christ, and through him to reconcile to himself all things.

00:36:41.080 That's really important.

00:36:42.180 And then how, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.

00:36:49.220 The death of Christ, the blood of the cross, is primarily responsible for the reconciliation of sinners to Christ.

00:36:57.940 But this and other texts in the Bible indicate that the redemption of the entire world, all created things, whether in heaven or above, will be accomplished also by the blood of Christ.

00:37:09.960 That it's a blood-bought world.

00:37:11.240 that's correct and that sentiment is true that god uh by the death of his son jesus and his

00:37:15.980 sacrifice is actually uh redeeming the church his elect people maybe tribe tongue and language but

00:37:24.000 also um that he's also restoring and redeeming all the cosmos created order which would include

00:37:31.040 the nations the kings the rulers like yep yeah and i looked it up to the second part i was looking

00:37:38.240 for is uh redemption and forgiveness of sins i mean that's even better than a lot of pastors who

00:37:42.780 wouldn't mention mention necessarily sin on the cross like well it was out of his broken creation

00:37:47.080 this out of the other like no is the forgiveness of sins one more point on this because this past

00:37:52.160 weekend it also happened to be passover in the jewish sense so those that would be ethnically 0.69

00:37:56.560 jewish we're celebrating passover as don't love as well as let's be fair here wasn't just them 0.99

00:38:02.220 well also a ton of christians who are absolutely ridiculous and think that somehow 1.00

00:38:10.100 apparently it's a trend of them celebrating a cedar meal a cedar meal very and that's very 0.98

00:38:15.780 recent you would not go to john calvin's home the week before easter john calvin would be like

00:38:20.480 so glad to for you to join us hey we're actually having our past we're having our special cedar 0.51

00:38:25.260 meal he'd be like the hell the hell you are you're actually going to jail and yeah yeah and maybe to

00:38:30.620 now yeah yeah maybe to help no so but uh very recent and there was of course i mean from keir

00:38:36.220 starmer the prime minister of the uk from speaker mike johnson many of them like oh our deepest well

00:38:41.920 wishes for the wonderful season of passover but the gop account so in all this constellation you

00:38:48.080 have a number of factions within the republican party believe me the republican party we're we're

00:38:52.760 not not big fans but you have some good parts of it and you have other parts that are of course as

00:38:57.180 we saw at the rnc just fully captured but the gop account it went out there and it did its happy

00:39:02.460 happy passover or whatever but it cited the new testament and and many pointed this out and said

00:39:07.580 whoever's behind the social media like at a certain level you just you have to post what

00:39:11.700 comes down from the top hey it's memorial day it's veterans day it's easter it's passover

00:39:16.040 we're a very multicultural multi-religious type of place and so it's you know well wishes to

00:39:20.480 everyone to the seks to the to the jews to whatever but but it was very interesting that

00:39:25.100 that account said, hmm, on Passover, what we're not actually going to do is invoke some of the

00:39:29.460 language, the imagery, this, that. Happy Passover. And here's the citation for Passover from the New

00:39:36.260 Testament. That's funny. Christ is our Passover. And so to the Jews who are celebrating Passover,

00:39:41.560 we wish you a very happy Passover looking to Christ. A very happy Passover and a very pleasant

00:39:48.120 conversion to Christianity. Very pleasant conversion. And for the record, like why

00:39:51.180 Christians don't celebrate it, and you shouldn't, and you should tell people not to,

00:39:54.360 Passover was always looking forward to Christ. 0.97

00:39:58.220 It was intended to be this temporary structure, just like circumcision. 0.96

00:40:01.340 It was training, it was molding, and it was shaping, not as the final object.

00:40:05.340 Like the final goal of Passover is Passover.

00:40:07.840 No, I don't know.

00:40:09.260 What event an angel of death, death passing over a person because they were good and they performed?

00:40:15.420 No, because there was blood that already signified a death had been had.

00:40:19.760 What could that be looking forward to?

00:40:21.840 Oh, death passing over us as Christians for the sake of Christ.

00:40:26.020 So Passover, Hebrews is all about this. 0.98

00:40:28.160 The old is done away. 0.99

00:40:29.860 Passover is over.

00:40:30.900 That was the temporary, you use this imagery, Joel,

00:40:33.520 the scaffolding, the structure to teach, but now it's gone.

00:40:36.960 And to go back and celebrate it is to act as if we haven't had Christ yet.

00:40:41.900 We're still looking for that true and final blood.

00:40:44.080 It's actually worse than that.

00:40:44.900 It's like, Joel, I remember when you preached this in Hebrews a couple of years ago,

00:40:47.900 and it all just clicked.

00:40:49.780 like that's actually quite offensive yes to christ it's not just like we don't have to

00:40:54.300 celebrate it anymore but take it or leave it no it's actually quite offensive to say to christ

00:40:59.200 actually i'm going to go celebrate something that you have perfectly fulfilled as though you had not

00:41:05.620 perfectly fulfilled it right it really calls into question the the completeness and the totality

00:41:12.060 of christ's sacrifice it denies the sufficiency of christ it's hedging your bets that's what the

00:41:16.300 whole book of the hebrews is about don't go back don't go back don't hedge your bets don't go back

00:41:21.300 to in a physical sense it's like don't go back to the priestly sacrificial system um you know don't

00:41:27.520 go because all that is centered geographically the focal point is jerusalem and i you know i take it

00:41:32.600 that i believe hebrews was written probably around 80 67 68 69 right before the destruction that took

00:41:39.380 place in 80 70 so he says there's a fiery judgment that awaits you you see this in in hebrews chapter

00:41:44.200 six you see it in hebrews chapter 10 all these warning passages and as a partial preterist i

00:41:48.660 take that to mean um that there literally was a temporal earthly destruction that was coming for 0.95

00:41:53.160 the center of the geographic center of judaism so so don't go back because these were christians who

00:41:58.480 had been fleeing from that geographic center because of the intense um persecution from the

00:42:05.880 jews and so they they were they you know they had converted to christianity and they had actually

00:42:10.180 physically moved out of there and were worshiping in christian churches but they were tempted 0.99

00:42:14.380 to go back because they're like well but but shouldn't i hedge my bets a little bit shouldn't

00:42:18.600 i offer you know a little bit of a sacrifice you know yeah just one a week a little bit of sacrifice

00:42:23.740 a little bit of synagogue a little bit of this a little bit of that and uh and and the apostle

00:42:28.280 under the inspiration of the holy spirit is saying don't go back and i think it's twofold in the

00:42:32.040 eternal ultimate sense in terms of their soul he's saying don't go back because because that

00:42:36.700 signifies hedging your bets which means that your full hope and trust and faith we're saved by faith

00:42:41.240 is not actually in christ and so the fire judgment will be the eternal fire but also if you go back

00:42:48.540 to this system the judaizing um it requires you geographically to go back to this region where it

00:42:55.500 takes place in jerusalem and that place is about to be literally on fire it's about to be destroyed

00:43:01.280 and so there's both an earthly temporal judgment that all also is a type and shadow pointing

00:43:06.840 towards the heavenly and um well in this case helly hellish and uh and ultimate you know eternal

00:43:12.940 judgment and so yeah so to to to do this you you can't you can't celebrate the shadow without

00:43:20.920 rejecting at least in part the substance yep you can't to celebrate the shadow to pay some tribute

00:43:28.620 to the shadow is to engage in some measure of rejection of the substance. The substance is now

00:43:35.340 here. It would be like a little kid and his dad's on, you know, in the military, he's on deployment

00:43:40.460 and he's got a picture of dad. And for the last nine months, he's been sleeping with a picture

00:43:44.660 and all this. And then dad actually comes home and walks through the front door and is so excited to

00:43:49.120 see his son, but he's grown so attached to the picture. He's like, ah, you know, dad, you're

00:43:53.620 distracting me. I'm having, you know, my quality time right now looking at your photo. That would

00:43:57.540 be ridiculous we'd all say no no the photo was just was just the the type the shadow the symbol

00:44:03.300 that points towards the real thing and the real thing just walked through the door uh put the 0.67

00:44:07.780 photo down and go and hug your dad and to do anything less um would not only would it be

00:44:14.900 illogical and foolish but it also would be um absolutely devastating and hurtful to his dad

00:44:21.980 who's standing there ready to embrace him um it is a rejection of christ and it is absolutely 0.96

00:44:27.640 offensive to christ and he will not take that offense lightly yep last thing before we go to

00:44:32.760 our second commercial break speaking of tradition and i'll give you a good one to celebrate instead

00:44:36.840 the liturgical calendar for thousands of years christians across the world they've observed

00:44:42.440 different periods of time different months for one at the season of advent it wasn't just like

00:44:47.120 well it happens to be advent we do a special christmas season it's weeks of preparation of

00:44:51.320 the heart and of prayer, the reading of certain scriptures, looking forward to and inculcating

00:44:56.960 an expectation and hope for the coming of Jesus, the one, of course, that already happened

00:45:01.420 in his incarnation, looking forward to him coming again.

00:45:04.220 But as we move into Holy Week, for everyone who's watching here on Monday, Tuesday, and

00:45:07.440 Wednesday, it is a great and wonderful thing to celebrate Monday, Thursday, Good Friday,

00:45:12.240 to read the passages.

00:45:13.400 That's what I'm going to do with my family this week.

00:45:15.420 Read the Gospel of John through Jesus and his Passover, his death, the looking forward

00:45:20.400 to and then his resurrection those are great practices that we have practiced and we have done

00:45:25.320 for hundreds of years of church history and we tended to lose them and then it's like well what's

00:45:29.440 special about easter and much love to our covenanter brothers and sisters who would just say

00:45:33.140 like the lord's day is only holiday totally fair view we would disagree we celebrate easter but

00:45:38.280 uh whatever it may be this is a great week to rethink about the cross but not just the cross

00:45:43.460 not just his suffering but also his resurrection amen all right let's go to our final commercial

00:45:48.960 break and then we'll come back and we're going to start uh we'll deal with you know the fact that

00:47:45.420 the point there is the plan goes off the rails so we had a we're so back moment we did and now

00:47:51.080 it's time for a we're so that was i think it was saturday that trump said that the thursday prior

00:47:55.180 so this is april 10th donald j trump all his social media accounts here he goes i am proud

00:48:00.740 to nominate Yehuda Kaplan as the United States, oh, sorry, Rabbi Yehuda. It's not in his post,

00:48:08.160 but that's who he is. That's who he is. As the United States special envoy to monitor and combat

00:48:12.320 anti-Semitism ambassador at large. Yehuda is a successful businessman and a staunch advocate

00:48:17.320 for the Jewish faith and the rights of his people to live and worship free from persecution. With

00:48:21.740 anti-Semitism dangerously on the rise, Yehuda will be the strongest representative for Americans

00:48:26.120 and jews across the globe and promote peace congratulations yehuda don't love it don't love

00:48:32.140 it don't love it so this envoy the envoy to monitor and combat anti-semitism it started in 2004

00:48:38.380 established by george w bush which i mean that's just shocking common george w bush

00:48:43.680 l right there the most common of l's most george w bush yep so but it really was a very underfunded

00:48:51.600 position. And in many ways, it often looks externally. So it's looking outward to other

00:48:56.020 nations, around the world. So it's externally focused. Its funding was under $500,000 a year.

00:49:02.980 These are funds that are appropriated by Congress. Very small budget. During his first term,

00:49:07.020 this is very interesting. For three years, Trump didn't appoint an ambassador at large to the

00:49:11.520 position. Do you know if the subsequent presidents to George W. Bush did? Yes. Obama appointed someone.

00:49:18.580 He lasted all the way there until 2017, but Trump didn't do it for three years and Congress was

00:49:23.140 actually getting on him for it. So they were like, why aren't you going to appoint someone?

00:49:27.220 He also didn't appoint. It was like a Jewish envoy or ensign a liaison to the white house. 0.59

00:49:32.420 He was really pretty indifferent to these things. I mean, a president has thousands of roles to fill.

00:49:37.380 So there's definitely lots of things where it's not a priority. Obviously secretary of state is

00:49:41.220 a priority, but like, you know, the ministry to, you know, like Southern Texas food banks,

00:49:46.660 like those are positions that will sometimes go unfilled so he left it unfilled for three years

00:49:50.260 with secretary of state it's not rubio who was the secretary of state during trump's first term

00:49:56.580 he ended up just appointing someone to it and it was under the biden administrative administration

00:50:01.940 they appointed someone to it and they increased the budget to 1.5 million and now we're here today

00:50:06.180 and we're three months into the camp not the campaign into the term yeah so january 20th

00:50:11.460 february 20th march 20th april 20th would be the three-month mark so we're not even quite there

00:50:16.420 And he has got someone in there, and they have already gotten to work.

00:50:20.120 So if you go to the website now, this is a big term.

00:50:22.940 You've got to be aware of it.

00:50:24.500 You've got to put it in your mind.

00:50:25.600 The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.

00:50:27.800 A lot of these different groups, what they do is they adopt a term used by this IHRL group.

00:50:35.120 And this is the one that we talk about when we say, like, making it illegal or making it societally uncognizable to critique or to say the biblical message that the Jews killed Jesus.

00:50:45.000 this is in their category so they go about like how do we define anti-semitism this group the

00:50:49.560 international holocaust remembrance alliance group has gone on and said this type of blood

00:50:54.680 libel this type of saying the jews killed jesus defines anti-semitism and this definition has

00:50:59.640 been ported over right now you can find it on the white house website at the office of this

00:51:03.360 under the leadership of this new rabbi to where that is the definition that they are going to be

00:51:07.960 using now what will that practically look like how will it be implemented some of that we're

00:51:12.460 already seeing students that are on foreign visas that have been critical of israel colombia harvard

00:51:16.620 other places they're getting deported but but what we're kind of saying is okay sure so right now

00:51:21.700 you know you have from the river to the sea palestine will be free you know gender studies

00:51:26.620 student she's going back for criticizing israel and in a sense yes amen great we love it don't

00:51:33.520 love the reason because with that definition and with funding and with the right ear there's there's

00:51:40.000 really concerning groups of people out there this is on the rise trump even said in his announcement

00:51:44.160 with all these going on we've got to do something about it and we've kind of set the precedent up

00:51:48.800 we were talking about it a little bit ago kind of set the precedent up for deporting people for

00:51:52.720 beliefs not for actions that they've done like drugs or felonies or other things

00:51:57.440 before beliefs for certain advocacy and speech so we've established a very dangerous precedent

00:52:03.520 now again i think our american ethos of free speech i mean it's just in our bones at this

00:52:07.840 this point sometimes almost to our detriment that is like you will not limit me you know you will

00:52:12.140 not censor my speech i don't think that american spirit is going to be quashed by police going

00:52:16.800 door to door to door the way we see in britain with you know like social media laws that might

00:52:21.360 not happen here in that formal sense but this is the start 100 of an informal societal and when you

00:52:28.360 think of big corporation they have a ton of power i mean they can debank you like andrew torba's

00:52:35.720 wife can't open a master card right what do you do when when you can't run a bank account what

00:52:40.420 are you doing you can't open a credit card when you can't get a home loan there are very very

00:52:44.100 powerful ways of attacking citizens of the united states without technically breaking any laws

00:52:50.800 without technically congress being involved invoking definitions offices departments exactly

00:52:58.140 like this one yep so that's what we're looking at yeah don't love it and uh definitely be talking

00:53:03.180 about more in the coming months rfk jr though i think will be a stalwart defender of uh free

00:53:07.940 speech yeah that's a good point yeah and the department of uh department of health him rfk

00:53:12.080 jr teaming up with rabbi shmuley um we're in safe hands i will i will share my my silver lining here

00:53:18.900 and it's not mine it was noel's i mentioned to you guys before the show but uh what we actually

00:53:24.420 have witnessed with the deportation of the the people who are protesting israel the pro hamas

00:53:29.540 pro-Palestine deportation that we saw was we now have on record Wes you mentioned precedent

00:53:35.760 precedent matters we now have a precedent where we have deported someone from this country for a

00:53:41.340 belief that he held and in that sense I'll take that precedent we could we could wield that we

00:53:47.340 could wield that we can get it yeah love what they they just opened up for us absolutely yeah that

00:53:52.560 precedent um could have potential that's that's positive in the future but as it's currently

00:53:57.960 being used i don't know about you guys but i'm in trouble all right all right questions i'll hit

00:54:04.120 bane mauler's question here he said uh he or she explained that sheldon adelson and his wife being

00:54:09.480 one of his mega donors and top visitors to the white house exactly big zionist jewish donors

00:54:16.080 like the adelson family have been very instrumental in getting trump back in power a second time

00:54:20.580 and i brought up the point of him appointing someone to that task force much earlier on this

00:54:25.180 time versus last time as some of the proof that there are interests present today right that very

00:54:30.560 likely were not earlier on right but that's also encouraging because that means this isn't something

00:54:34.480 that for 25 years again trump has been like i just there has to be a way to build a third temple

00:54:40.380 yeah it's not a deeply held ideology this isn't who trump always has been and his you know his

00:54:45.380 genuine bona fide conviction right well kind of it is because he's a deal maker he takes care of

00:54:49.520 the people that take care of him that's true yeah that's true but it doesn't have a long history

00:54:52.820 it's a it's a recent development with this with this term that wasn't really there in the first

00:54:57.740 term and it's because one of the takeaways i think like a principle that we can glean from this

00:55:02.980 is um yeah like it's um it pays to um to have the king for a friend that's right right you know like

00:55:12.860 there's there's something that you know that we could learn from this as you know christians is

00:55:17.200 you know saying like okay like um maybe it wasn't maybe it was you know all the all the

00:55:22.880 insufferable christians that were never trumpers you know and had nothing you know nothing positive

00:55:26.980 that he could ever say about him um maybe that wasn't the best strategy because the people who 0.97

00:55:31.820 were for him like the adelson family are now going to receive a lot of kickbacks and the kickbacks

00:55:37.460 like how so how are they going to to use uh the favor of the president of the free world

00:55:43.660 to punish their enemies and who are their enemies it's us right we're their enemies and so maybe a

00:55:51.500 little lesson we can learn for for next time we'll do a little friend enemy distinction and we'll

00:55:55.680 just finish off you touched on michael's comment not michael belch michael's comment what are your

00:55:59.540 thoughts on secretary of health and human services robert f kenny jr anti-semitism task force i my

00:56:05.100 wife was excited for him i was excited for him but i was thinking more like i don't know like

00:56:08.840 fluoride out of the water dies out of the food no more seed oils and it comes out and it's like

00:56:14.020 i got something way better than all of that combined anti-semitism task force wait a minute

00:56:20.220 that's not what i signed up because you get rid of seed oils best i can do is anti-semitism task

00:56:24.900 force so many have theoried have uh theorized people might have dirt on him i think so yeah

00:56:30.740 i think he's that rfk jr is a yeah he sleeps around yep not not like that's a bad part of

00:56:38.040 character and so he may have dirt on him and it's like uh we we need you to to look into this

00:56:43.660 yeah what are you gonna do i mean i don't know for sure that's speculation but where it seems so

00:56:48.520 obvious i'll say allegedly because i you know yeah it's there's a debate but it seems so obvious

00:56:54.420 that um through israeli intelligence and all like with the you know the jfk files and all these

00:57:01.640 things that came out it's like dude you you would have more reasons than most to not work towards

00:57:09.160 an anti-semitism task force right and so it's so in his case particularly it's like

00:57:15.200 what do they have on health and human services yeah yeah cancer diabetes right no something worse

00:57:22.620 yeah they have something all right uh some more questions did we do victory in christ we did not

00:57:28.480 victory in christ super chat five dollars thank you victory in christ we appreciate it

00:57:32.720 uh he says are you willing to have a discussion with a full preterist uh don k preston or zach

00:57:38.700 davis make great points glad dispensationalism is dying uh last part glad that dispensationalism

00:57:44.980 is dying uh we're with you 100 in terms of having somebody on the show to do um we probably wouldn't

00:57:52.360 do a debate but a discussion you know going back and forth with a full preterist um i'm i'm open

00:57:57.500 to we can we can talk about it and discuss it um that's to me it's that's not um when i think of

00:58:03.020 you know uh top 10 things that i'm concerned about and need to be um need to be dealt with

00:58:09.340 um you know that's that doesn't really make the list for me so um i'd be willing to talk to

00:58:15.100 somebody like that uh even like gary damar um i'd be willing to talk to him yep entropy follows up

00:58:21.040 on that to just to close the two dollar super chat two dollar thanks entropy he says yeah i

00:58:25.620 think full preterism deserves a discussion so if we have enough guys in the chat and enough of our

00:58:32.220 followers who would benefit from that discussion are actually interested in it i'm willing to have

00:58:36.900 it uh really my hesitancy isn't um that i'm unwilling to talk with people who disagree with

00:58:42.260 me because that's not a thing i'm perfectly willing uh to do that and i think it would be

00:58:46.960 quite helpful and i think you know when it comes to politically and culturally and some of these

00:58:50.780 wars and battles that we're facing uh co-belliterency is um i think vital and necessary

00:58:56.140 so um in terms of just the concept of talking to somebody who holds a different theological

00:59:00.560 position for myself am i willing to do it absolutely my only hesitancy is um that this

00:59:07.100 this particular topic of full preterism tends to be rather niche um i've tried to do some of the

00:59:14.520 reading on it and it is very dense and there's just not a ton of guys on it so the guys who are

00:59:20.340 on board are i mean they're on board so they're very you know they're loud they're enthusiastic

00:59:24.480 so you'll see them um like we're seeing in the chat and and i'm not casting any shade um but

00:59:30.320 the guys who are excited about it are very excited um but you know there's like 17 of them right so

00:59:36.900 so i i would want to if if we're going to breach that topic i would want to know that there's

00:59:41.740 enough interest um and that that episode would actually be helpful to more than 17 people i'm

00:59:47.100 not aware of a seminal scholarly work on it either like David Chilton it's alleged that he

00:59:51.860 became a full preterist before he died but he never wrote on it right I'm not aware Gary DeMar

00:59:55.680 has touched on it briefly so his statements in his book would be interpreted to be full preterist

01:00:00.460 but he has not written like a 600 page book either explicating and arranging the system of

01:00:05.480 thought so even there most certainly to the credit of the guys that he mentioned I'm sure they've

01:00:09.680 done videos for example and done some writing on it but we're talking about like a work that like

01:00:13.800 for 30 years has kind of been the foundation of the system of thought that's pointed to

01:00:17.960 as the origin of all this, I'm not aware of one of those existing.

01:00:21.700 Yeah, right.

01:00:22.940 Super chat from Evan Davies.

01:00:24.460 Thank you very much for the five pounds, Evan.

01:00:27.720 He says, the modern Passover points to the Israelites' experience in Egypt. 0.68

01:00:31.700 It purposefully overlooks Christ as rabbinical Judaism always does. 0.99

01:00:34.900 And that's exactly the point. 0.96

01:00:36.420 And I think what a lot of Christians, and I didn't realize this until recently.

01:00:39.000 So I think we all have to just say, it's not like we have believed this for decades.

01:00:43.800 but the idea that we've said before

01:00:46.420 that modern-day Judaism is not just a carbon copy

01:00:50.900 of what was being practiced in the Old Testament, right? 0.94

01:00:53.020 It has departed the same way Christianity

01:00:55.160 moved on with the New Testament, 0.91

01:00:57.260 modern-day Judaism moving on through the Talmud. 0.73

01:00:59.540 And so many Christians would probably think,

01:01:02.020 oh, a Passover meal,

01:01:02.800 this is exactly what the Jews of the Old Testament

01:01:04.460 were doing, it's the same emphasis,

01:01:06.120 it's the same symbology.

01:01:07.380 It's not, it's not any of that

01:01:09.100 because it completely skips over Christ.

01:01:10.960 And so the super chat is very well stated and the point is well taken.

01:01:16.180 Cool.

01:01:16.760 Victory in Christ.

01:01:17.480 He just followed up with another $5 super chat.

01:01:19.640 Thank you.

01:01:19.980 We appreciate it.

01:01:20.980 He says, I can get you in discussion with any of those individuals that we just mentioned.

01:01:26.060 And I'd be happy to pay for the episode in case it only goes out to 17 people.

01:01:30.520 Laughy emoji.

01:01:32.140 They'd love to have a healthy discussion.

01:01:33.920 So we appreciate that.

01:01:36.220 And if you want to send us an email, you're welcome to do so.

01:01:38.820 you can email me at joel at rightresponseministries.com and send us an email kind of your

01:01:46.960 idea what you're thinking and and like i said if we get enough interest then we'll just do it

01:01:53.340 but if we don't have enough interest then we probably won't do it even if you're willing

01:01:58.480 to pay for the episode but i'm willing to have a discussion so thank you i'll hit washington

01:02:04.060 hounds question question from washington hound do you believe dispensational christians fall into

01:02:09.100 the category discussed in hebrews 6 4 through 6 those who would turn away and be considered

01:02:13.500 apostate specifically those who celebrate the jewish holidays seek to rebuild the temple in

01:02:17.820 israel etc certainly in the first century you would say that's what it's speaking about in

01:02:21.580 hebrews 6 those who tasted of the heavenly gifts they experienced baptism so in one sense they they

01:02:26.780 they experienced fell away so so once been enlightened i i take that as uh indicative of

01:02:33.420 baptism tasted of the heavenly gift i take that as indicative of the lord's supper uh shared in

01:02:38.680 the holy spirit i take that simply as being a part of the visible church uh worshiping on the lord's

01:02:44.020 day and stirring one another up to love and good works as the church does uh so i i take this as

01:02:48.860 they're all different uh signs and elements of new testament christian church worship christian

01:02:55.040 worship new testament christian worship and he's saying it's impossible for those should they fall

01:02:58.860 away to be brought back to repentance and so this gets into you know some people say well is this

01:03:03.920 what jesus was maybe referring to as an unforgivable sin you know something like because

01:03:08.200 you know typically biblically and you know in terms of christian theology like you you know

01:03:13.220 we all sin we and even as christians we continue to sin but um but there's you know there's

01:03:18.820 confession and repentance and forgiveness of sin but he says you know if you were to um fall away

01:03:24.860 that you could not be brought back uh to repentance and and i take that to mean the way that i would

01:03:30.420 explain that is um i i take that to mean that he's he's actually referencing um this impending

01:03:36.960 earthly temporal judgment that is literally i i think was probably right around the corner

01:03:41.600 and uh and what he's saying is that um that you would you would go and you would actually be cut

01:03:46.520 off and physically die in your sin you would go back to by going back to judaism you would

01:03:51.460 geographically physically be going back to jerusalem and jerusalem's about to get sacked 0.96

01:03:55.580 and uh and it would be sacked with you there and uh and you would perish in a state of sin

01:04:01.320 and the reason why you couldn't repent isn't because it's the unforgivable sin but because

01:04:06.420 your life in a flash would end and uh and you would and you would die in that rebellion now

01:04:11.760 so that's first century christians that go back to those holidays back to the temple yes

01:04:16.720 dispensationalist christians today there are certainly some that i think would just their

01:04:22.800 love is not for christ but it's for a system and all those things but i will say uh there's a guy

01:04:27.360 i know he used to come to the church in san diego for a while this dude loves him some israel and

01:04:31.840 i remember a couple years ago he literally said like well i felt like the missing thing was uh

01:04:35.680 in my christian walk like going back and celebrating the the different feasts and all

01:04:40.240 of that like i mean this guy is top tier but as far as evangelism goes i mean this is a guy who

01:04:45.760 loves to tell people about jesus i think i don't know his heart i'll see this guy daniel in heaven

01:04:50.320 and when he gets up there jesus will be like that was really dumb you shouldn't have done

01:04:53.680 but there are many who love jesus have a heart for him and they're doing silly things like that

01:04:58.880 but we're not talking about and i've placed my faith in my passover cedar meal right faith is

01:05:03.200 still in jesus these things they're wrong they're going back they send the wrong message there's a

01:05:07.820 difference in i'm confused and i have that theology and it's like you're convinced it doesn't matter

01:05:12.340 which does matter but at the end of the day we've talked about this wes and michael we've talked

01:05:16.500 about this but like lots are we saved by faith alone or are we saved by having you know holding

01:05:20.880 to and affirming every doctrinal iota of believing that we're saved by like we're not saved by

01:05:27.200 believing in the five solas we're not um i believe that we're saved by grace alone through faith

01:05:32.640 alone and christ alone according to the scripture alone and to the glory of god alone i believe that

01:05:36.700 that is how god saves that is how god saves um but you affirming each of those doctrinal tenets

01:05:43.740 and being able to explain them um proficiently uh that if that's what saves then you're actually

01:05:51.180 saved by works that's a work right you're you attaining to some kind of reaching some kind

01:05:56.860 of theological benchmark and an ability to articulate the theological benchmark that

01:06:02.160 you've attained um that's that is a work and so um no so i so to put it plainly um no i don't

01:06:09.880 believe that people go to hell um for um having imperfect theology yep um there are going to be

01:06:17.260 many many there are currently many many many christians millions and millions of christians

01:06:22.420 who theologically are a little wacky theologically are a little anemic um but they but they believe

01:06:32.920 in the lord jesus that he died for their sin and was raised from the debt and they're hoping and

01:06:37.720 trusting in him um and that's last time i checked you know like people they can affirm the apostles

01:06:45.160 creed um if if we're not careful this this is cultish this is what gets um it's not trying to

01:06:53.300 be ecumenical for ecumenicalism sake um but we have historic creeds for a reason we have them

01:07:00.560 for a reason and so for me the apostles creed it means something the nicene creed means something

01:07:06.200 and when someone says i affirm these historic creeds that have been you know in existence for

01:07:10.840 1700 years to me that means something if it doesn't mean something and just with each

01:07:16.900 generation you know we're constantly adding you know we're raising the benchmark um not not just

01:07:23.360 for what what we think would be helpful but for salvation then um then i think we're adding to

01:07:28.400 the gospel we're actually adding um yeah we're adding to the gospel and uh and and what we're

01:07:33.960 adding is a work it's whether it's an intellectual work a theological work but it's still in the

01:07:38.640 category of work. So yeah, I think a bunch of dispensationalists will be in heaven. However,

01:07:43.500 I agree with what Wes, I think, was articulating in the sense that I do think that, you know,

01:07:48.920 and ultimately God sees the heart, and it's for him to decide. Man looks at the outward appearance,

01:07:54.540 God sees the heart. But I do think that there are some dispensationalists, and I'm not going to sit

01:07:58.940 here and name them, because again, I think a lot of this is internal, and I don't want to impute

01:08:02.840 motives. But I think there are dispensationalists that just have bad theology, but really love

01:08:07.460 jesus and i think there are other dispensation lists that um that are actually another religion

01:08:13.200 that it's not christian they're judeo christians right they're judeo christians which is not

01:08:17.780 christianity and all the the it's the tail wagging the dog that the christian portion of their

01:08:23.560 theology uh only exists to serve the judeo portion um so all of their christianese and their christian

01:08:31.700 language and it's it's literally all of it exists to um to it's it's no different than uh the biden

01:08:39.800 administration wanting to make americans a tax farm for ukraine right and and for them they just

01:08:45.400 want to make their their churches and their proselytes a tax farm for israel that's so so

01:08:50.380 that's but that's up to the lord so can you be a dispensationalist and have bad theology uh but

01:08:55.600 really be trusting in Christ for salvation and love the Lord? Yes. But could you also be

01:09:01.560 a dispensationalist and your actual motives and where your trust really lies is not Christianity,

01:09:07.660 but Judeo-Christianity and the Christian piece is the tail actually wagging the dog and the dog is

01:09:13.560 actually Judaism and everything is just shilling for Israel and trying to rebuild Israel and all

01:09:22.460 then yeah that's at that point it's not just bad theology in my assessment at that point the lord

01:09:28.560 determines the heart and whether or not you're at that point but if that's the point then um

01:09:32.700 that's uh something altogether separate from christian faith yep that's my opinion great

01:09:38.380 any other questions we want to hit uh mbes just gave a two dollar super chat so thank you very

01:09:42.500 much oh nice thank you okay any other ones scrolling through the trap uh the chat did we

01:09:49.240 do neville no we didn't do that one from earlier yeah go up nate go up uh no i want to hit this

01:09:54.800 other one there's one up above oh okay uh do you think trump is consistent america first consistent

01:10:01.860 in his america first um ethos because he views israel as an arm an extension of the united states

01:10:10.220 hence proposing things such as a purchase of gaza what do you guys think i think that's a bit of a

01:10:17.220 stretch um because his buying gaza was kind of this is where it goes back to the comment that

01:10:24.860 i made earlier it was kind of poking netanyahu in the eye right it was like i'm gonna get it like

01:10:30.200 you guys haven't been able to get it i'm gonna come in there and we're gonna take it and it's

01:10:33.620 not gonna be yours so i don't i don't necessarily see the link there you know it's it's part of our

01:10:39.880 the way we viewed ourselves especially with communism like that really we extended ourselves

01:10:44.380 into many areas of the globe and ever since have kind of maintained that global peacekeeper

01:10:48.200 mentality and so i don't think it's necessarily a violation of america first because america's

01:10:53.760 always had interests abroad um yeah i i understand there could be tactical reasons especially going

01:11:00.280 back to we were talking about this earlier an ally it's one thing in the 70s and the 80s in

01:11:04.860 the 90s you had kuwait you had communism but also are interested in oil there's different times and

01:11:09.980 different reason reasons to support that the problem not necessarily being international

01:11:15.220 involvement although that could be the problem being more so strategically we're getting ourselves

01:11:20.020 involved in an ethnic feud that goes back a long time and doesn't have a great way out of it that's

01:11:25.020 more my problem with the gaza thing than necessarily the well it's not america first to be involved

01:11:29.160 internationally right all right well that's going to be it for our episode we got to cut it short

01:11:34.220 we actually have some projects we're working on but lord willing we will be with you guys

01:11:38.960 on Wednesday. God bless.
