I had planned to publish this episode last week but we received the conversation between Mike Riley and Ryan Martin promoting the upcoming Conference on the Church for God’s Glory. We wanted to get that out to promote the conference. If you missed it, check back to last week and listen. If you are able to attend, please register now.

This week we are publishing an interview with Kevin Bauder, on his article in the March/April FrontLine called “Israel, Palestinian Arabs, and Christian Attitudes.”

As Dispensationalists, we at the FBFI strongly support Israel in many ways. We believe that God still has a program for Israel that will come to its conclusion in the last days. It is still important, however, to define what we mean by our support of Israel in these times.

The most important aspects of our support have to do with Biblical Israel as the heirs of God’s promise to Abraham. That support spills over into other areas of life, including the political that is so much in the news these days.

In his article and in this interview, Kevin Bauder helps us to define terms and sort through the history and theology of the question.

He also recommended several books which we include in our show notes.

Kevin’s article is available on our substack right away for paying subscribers. We have previews for everyone else. I hope you will join with us and support the ministry of the FBFI by becoming a paying subscriber.

And now for my interview with Kevin Bauder.
