Summary: As we pick up our study of the Book of Nehemiah, we come to the eight chapter where a national revival takes place in Judah. Before studying that next week, we need to think carefully about some issues—issues that happen to be very much in the news today, which surround America’s war with Iran, Israel our ally, and the war itself. Is God on our side? Is this a just war? Are Christians right who seem to say we should blindly support Israel in its conflict with Islamic Jihadists? Is America a Christian nation? This episode seeks to find clarity in Scripture about these issues. 

For Further Prayerful Thought:

1. How would you describe the difference between ethnic Israel and spiritual Israel. How does this difference make sense? Why is it important?
2. Why is it important to recognize that God’s covenant with spiritual Israel is continued in the church?
3. Contrast Israel’s theocracy with America’s democracy.
4. What is the difference between recognizing the influence of Christians in America’s founding and constitution and saying America is a Christian nation?
5. What is your opinion of the Islamic Jihadi cry, “from the river to the sea.”
