In this delayed episode of Toaster Talk, Pastor Nelly examines the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, the latest efforts to deepen U.S.–Israel military cooperation, and the growing claim that Christians are biblically obligated to give unconditional political support to the modern State of Israel. Through a careful study of Genesis 12, the Old Testament prophets, Galatians, and Romans, he argues that ”blessing Israel” has never meant remaining silent in the face of sin, but telling the truth in love and pointing people to their Messiah. From Jeremiah’s tears to Paul’s longing for Israel’s salvation, this episode challenges popular Christian Zionist assumptions and asks a simple but uncomfortable question: What does the Bible actually teach about blessing Israel?The Dancing Toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith and the unexplained.I release new episodes every Tuesday wherever podcasts are found.Get some new merch!thedancingtoasterstore.printful.meWanna support the work?Donate at:Buymeacoffee.com/thedancingtoasterOr head over to the Patreon!Your monthly support gets you early access to episodes of the Dancing Toaster, ad free listening and access to exclusives
