Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping the Jewish community make sense of Jesus. Together, we are restoring the Jewishness of the gospel.

Summary

In this episode of the Jewish Road Podcast, we discuss the current state of the world through a Messianic Jewish lens. We look at the idea that America, once a safe place for Jewish people, is now experiencing disarray and division. Drawing parallels to the story of Joseph in the Bible, we emphasize the importance of not getting too comfortable in the current world and longing for a greater homeland. We talk through the rise of anti-Semitism and the need for believers to live in the world but not be of the world.

Takeaways

  • America, once a safe place for Jewish people, is experiencing disarray and division.

  • Believers should not get too comfortable in the current world and should long for a greater homeland.

  • Anti-Semitism is on the rise, and believers need to be cautious and aware of the changing landscape.

  • Living in the world but not being of the world is a challenge, but believers are called to follow the great commission and bring the gospel to the ends of the earth.

  • Prayer for peace in Jerusalem is important, especially in the current climate.

Sound Bites

  • "America, you have been a great place and a safe place for the Jewish people, but is that run over?"
