Hebrew Voices #119 – Live from Quarantine #6

You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.

Nehemia: Shalom, welcome to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon and my special guest, Keith Johnson. Live from Quarantine. We’re under lockdown. What are you laughing at, Keith?

Keith: Oh. Welcome, everyone. Glad that you’re here. Very excited about this. It’s a twofer week.

Nehemia: It’s a twofer. How is it a twofer?

Keith: Well, last week we had a twofer. We had Passover day, where you had the taste test…

Nehemia: Yeah.

Keith: And then, you came back on Friday with another guest. This week, we’re having a taste test, it’s my understanding.

Nehemia: Well, it’s not so much a taste test. You know, one of the things in the Jewish culture, and I think in the Tanakh as well, is that food has a central place. Food has spiritual significance. Think about what was the first commandment God gave to mankind. It was, “Don’t eat this. And by the way, you can eat all these other things, including that thing that will give you eternal life.” Because I was taught early on that the prohibition was to eat both from the tree of knowledge and tree of life. Then I read the story myself. The prohibition was only to eat from the tree of knowledge, not the tree of life. They were expected to eat from that. He said, “All the other ones in the garden you could eat, including that tree of life.”

In Quarantine #6, You are speculating about why we are experiencing Covid 19. Have you considered Joel 3:1-3? The first case of Covid 19 in the U.S. was within days of Trump proposing another land for peace deal dividing God’s sacred land. God is clear that He will judge the nations that divide up the Land of Israel. If you look back in history America has suffered a heavy consequence every time an American president has engage in a land for peace deal. I know that Trump has done good things for Israel, and I believe that is why America has been experiencing blessings (Genesis 12:3 ) to this point, but is it possible that we are now experiencing a backlash from the fact that we are presently engaged in a process of dividing up the land of Israel with the Arabs?
I would love to here your perceptions and feelings on this. Shalom
