In the latest episode on AGR, Pastor Chris Gordon and Dr. R. Scott Clark continue their conversation about Israel, its current state, its biblical history and the continued problem of anti-semitism plaguing culture today. With these issues in mind, the discussion turns to how to interpret the Bible accurately. They look at the dispensationalist literal view and lean on Luke 24 to offer an accurate approach to interpreting figurative language in scripture. They question if Israel will one day come to her Messiah, and remind listeners to pray for the Nation of Israel to do just that, and submit to the righteousness of our holy God.
