America First thinking is loud in our culture. This episode asks the question almost no one is asking. Is that way of thinking biblical when it comes to Israel.
Ronnie points out that some of the language he hears in the United States sounds very similar to what was once said in Europe about the Jewish people. Complaints that Israel causes wars, controls banking, or costs too much money.
Baruch answers with the only standard that counts. God first. Scripture first. Not slogans. Together they walk through key passages that show God’s covenant with Israel, the promise of the land, and Israel’s role in God’s future plans.
