One New Man - Episode 005 - Israel and God's Name: An Unbreakable Bond

In this fifth episode of 'The One New Man,' hosts Chris and John Myers discuss the divine significance of God's name and its intrinsic connection to Israel. Chris begins by recounting his recent master's presentation on the topic of whether Christians should support the modern state of Israel, leading into John taking the conversation further. John explores the concept of God's name as first introduced to Moses at the burning bush, emphasizing how God identified Himself as 'I Am,' and tied His name to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The discussion extends to Deuteronomy, where God promises that His name will reside permanently in a specific place, later identified as Jerusalem. John also delves into the book of Daniel, highlighting how Daniel's prayers emphasized the importance of God's name and reputation in relation to the Jewish people and the land of Israel. The episode underscores that the Jewish return to Israel and future spiritual restoration are actions God undertakes for the sake of His own holy name and reputation. The dialogue concludes with reflections on the broader implications for Christians, the parallel struggles and promises faced by both Jews and the Church, and the ultimate hope for the new covenant prophesied in Jeremiah to be seen by the Jewish people. Throughout, the episode is both academic and engaging, occasionally lightened with humor.
