So, so what do you think about this promise? Does it connect with modern Israel? Give us your thoughts.

It's a great question.

I think it, it's pretty clear from the scriptures that it does.

Uh, I think it would really take a lot of, uh, gymnastics mentally to, to disalign, um, uh, Israel out of the biblical, uh, picture that's talked about, that the modern state is essentially the, uh, regathering of the nations that was talked about in the Tanakh, in the Ol-- in the Old Covenant.

Uh, the same, uh, people have, uh, descended over m- uh, m- uh, millennia, uh, to the same Jewish people that we're talking about today.

So there's no detachment of the Jewish people today, whether they be in the diaspora or in Israel, uh, that this is clearly the Jewish people, the people of Israel that was talked about in the scriptures, uh, that was from-- that was the promise, uh, was given to the land, um, and the promises of, uh, blessing those who bless you was to Abraham, but not only, uh, uh, the Abrahamic people, so to speak, but to then on to Isaac and to Jacob.

And so clearly God is pointing to the Jewish people, uh, that are-- were then and now called Israel.

Um, so, so again, you know, we say why Israel? How, how is Israel's position in, in global markets unique and, and what makes that, what makes that, um, you know, something that we, we would want to be involved in?
