Ep 288 - God’s Chosen: Messianic Prophecy, Antisemitism, and the Identity of Jesus with David Brickner
In a time of rising global antisemitism and unrest, how do we make sense of the tension surrounding Israel, identity, and the Messiah? In this episode, we unpack the spiritual and prophetic threads woven throughout Scripture—many of which point unmistakably to Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah. David Brickner shares how he came to believe in Jesus, why even His earliest followers struggled to understand His mission, and why the human condition can't be fixed with a "do-over." We explore why God’s ways often clash with human preferences, the deep reluctance some Jewish people feel about being called God's chosen, and the profound prophecies—like Isaiah 53—that reveal a divine plan stretching back to the beginning of time. From the parallels between Moses and Jesus to the hope found in God’s new covenant, this episode will challenge, encourage, and equip you with a deeper understanding of God’s heart for His people and His redemptive mission through Christ.
