INSIGHT

Modern Israel vs Biblical Israel

Jay Dyer explains the modern nation state of Israel is a secular, atheistic geopolitical project, not identical to the Old Testament theological Israel.
The evangelical belief that the modern state fulfills biblical promises is described as a "dumb evangelical mistake."

Jerusalem was originally a Gentile city ruled by Melchizedek, a priest of the true God before King David conquered it.
This indicates the land of Israel is historically the same as today, and Jesus is understood as the priest according to Melchizedek's order.

Luke the Evangelist

The Book of Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament and serves as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke. It chronicles the history of the early Christian church, beginning with the ascension of Jesus Christ and ending with Paul's imprisonment in Rome. The book is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the ministry of Peter in Jerusalem and Samaria (Acts 1–12), and the second follows Paul's missionary journeys throughout the Roman Empire (Acts 13–28). It highlights the transition of the gospel message from a Jewish audience to the Gentiles, the empowerment of believers by the Holy Spirit, and the growth of the church despite persecutions.

Propaganda

Edward Bernays

In 'Propaganda,' Edward Bernays lays out his vision for using propaganda to influence various aspects of society, including government, politics, art, science, and education.

Bernays argues that this manipulation is carried out by an 'invisible government' of professional propagandists who shape public thoughts, values, and responses. The book explores the psychological and social science basis of propaganda and its application in different fields, highlighting its potential for both beneficial and detrimental uses[2][3][5].
