Helping Christians make sense of their roots. Helping Jews make sense of Jesus.
On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:
This episode of the Jewish Road podcast dives into the timely relevance of Psalm 83, a biblical passage that feels as if it was ripped straight from today's headlines. The psalm is a fervent plea, calling on God to not remain silent in the face of evil. As the quote goes, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"—and the same might be said about divine silence. This episode explores the deeply unsettling plans of evil forces aimed at the annihilation of God's people, plans that go beyond mere military strategy to touch upon a darker, more insidious agenda.
Why should you listen? Psalm 83 isn't just an ancient text; it's a contemporary call to action. In a world where evil seems to grow bolder by the day, understanding the psalm's plea for divine intervention can embolden our own prayers and actions. We've often heard the stirring words from Isaiah, "For Zion's sake, I will not keep quiet." Yet, what does it mean when it feels like God Himself is silent? This episode challenges us to grapple with that difficult question and urges us not just to seek God's voice, but to become catalysts for His action in the world today.
So tune in to Episode #87, "O God, Do Not Keep Silence." It's a message for our times—a message that prompts us to fill the silence with both prayer and purpose. Let this episode arm you with the insights to be not just hearers, but doers, in a world that's desperate for informed, divine action.
