In this segment: Chadwick recites the Shema and discusses the importance of the Sabbath as God's set-apart day, urging Christians to observe it and not cherry-pick scriptures. He emphasizes the necessity of a heart posture aligned with God's commandments and love for all people, asserting that biblical prophecy indicates America and Israel will not dominate the Middle East.
That's just craziness, man. That's false theology, false eschatology, and idolatry. And look at what's going on right now. God is going to judge that idolatry. He's going to let everyone know, all Jews and Christians, that He will do this by Himself, not with a bunch of out-of-alignment governments like the American and Israeli governments killing innocent people all over the land. No way, Jose, will He give us the victories. And so far, He has not. If I'm wrong, He will correct me, and I'll stand corrected. But so far, He has not in 25 years. In fact, America is coming home bankrupt. That's where we need to come back to: we're going to come home bankrupt from this Iranian situation that we're in. And it's not just that; it's all four presidents who have done this over in the Middle East. And that's why I keep saying, and the next one, whoever wants to be president next, if they go to the Middle East, which I don't think we will be able to because we won't have any money to do that, my friends, America is about to receive a lot of bad things, a lot of bad results from the golden rule.
We've done a lot of evil. We've caused a lot of evil. We've caused a lot of refugee problems over in the Middle East, tens of millions of people. We've killed two million civilians. And that will come back to this land. It's called the golden rule. You're already seeing that right now. I'm in the real estate world, partially. Not as much as I was anymore, but partially. And go look at the real estate. Go look at the homeless problems. Go look at real estate right now and go look at what judgment is coming to our homes because of what we've done over there. It's the golden rule. People don't want to hear that. They don't like to hear that. But when it does come, hopefully, they'll remember that we need to repent and do better. So, anyhow, friends, Shabbat shalom to you. Thank you very much for being with us tonight. It's a very important topic, not a pleasant topic to talk about sometimes, but I think it's very important.
God hates violence, and He hates those who love violence. And that's in the Bible. And He wants all of us to be better in our heart positions towards these things, in my personal opinion. And I'm talking about the people who say they love the God of Israel and the King of Israel, Yeshua. Those people need to do better, in my opinion. Jews and Christians need to do better. Of course, the Islamists need to do better, of course. So, I'm talking about our side, Jews and Christians on our side. We can do a lot better with our heart position because the world is looking at this, and I'm looking at it with them, and we don't look good at all. We look like the enemy. And that's why the world hates America. That's why the world hates Israel, partly. They already hate the Jewish people. The world already hates the Jewish people. And the Israeli government has poured diesel fuel on top of that fire.
So they have a responsibility as well. Benjamin Netanyahu has a huge responsibility for causing antisemitism to go higher and higher by their behavior as well. People don't want to look at it like that, but look at their behavior as well. Not everybody's antisemitic out there. Let's not play victim everywhere in the world. Not everybody's antisemitic. A lot of this has to do with Israel's behavior by killing all these innocent people and these little children over there. And I'm with them. They don't have a right to do that. There's too much evidence out there for this. Too many videos, too many IDF soldiers taking videos and mocking and killing children, and it's all there for you to see. Everybody, the little girl that everybody knows, I forget her name. You know, too many innocent little kids. And again, too many doctors, too many Holocaust survivors, too many Jewish people have looked at this stuff and said, "No bueno.
Not in my name." And I'm with them. Too many Jewish people have said that they know about the Holocaust, know about these things, and they look at the Israeli government and they're saying, "No bueno. Not in our name." And I'm with them. I'm with them. So again, people can be what they want, but I'm with the Jewish people who have a heart posture towards God, not towards killing Arabs and Muslims and doing what they're doing. So, a lot of Jewish people are against this. A lot of American rabbis are against this. A lot of the ultra-Orthodox are against this in Israel. You just have to do your research. So, this is not any other statement other than a heart posture statement. And it is good to see that the Orthodox mostly are against this. That the American rabbis that I've seen are mostly against this. A lot of Jewish Americans are against this stuff because it's in their name, and it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
And I stand with them. I stand with the ones that don't want all this stuff because it's only going to cause hardships for the Jewish people across the world. It's called the prophecy of the fisherman and the hunters, and that's where we are right now. So, Shabbat shalom. Denise, thank you so much for joining us. We really appreciate it. We hope you've had a great week, and we hope you have a better weekend and a beautiful Shabbat as well. It's always great to see you. Thank you so much. Miss Sandra, same thing.

We hope all is well, and we hope you have a beautiful Shabbat ahead and have a great rest. Miss Wanda, always nice to see you. Shalom to you. Thank you so much for what you do for us. We really appreciate it, and we hope you have a beautiful weekend and a beautiful Sabbath as well.
Miss Denise, Psalm 128, verse 1: "Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to Him." Amen to that. And let me see here. Fawn Rosenlat, shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. Shabbat shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us from the beautiful state of Colorado. I used to live out in Colorado in my younger days. I love it; it's my favorite state out there. I love Colorado. I used to go visit a lot and do some snow skiing out there. Haven't been in a long time. Not sure if I could... Who sang that song? "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm good once as I ever was," or something like that. I don't know about that. I'd have to find out about it, but I'm not sure. But thank you so much for joining us. We really appreciate it. We hope you've had a great week, and we hope you have a beautiful Shabbat ahead. Shabbat shalom to you. We hope to see you again very soon.
Miss Denise, Psalm 73, verse 1: "Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart." Amen to that. Psalm 72, verses 13 and 14: "He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy from death. He will rescue them from oppression and violence, and for precious is their blood in His sight." And that is He will save them out of the trouble that they're going to put themselves in. Tiny Loves Boston, shalom to you. Thank you so much for joining us. We hope you have a great Shabbat. So, Shabbat shalom to you as well. We hope you have a great day tomorrow, a great Sabbath, a great weekend, and we hope you had a great week as well. Miss Loretta, shalom to you, my friend. We hope all is well in California. Every time I think about that, I think about LL Cool J, right? Everybody knows who LL Cool J is, right? I mean, one thing about him, you know, is he never cursed in his rap.
Can you believe that? I mean, I don't know why I'm saying this, but anyhow, he never cursed in his rap from what I understood back in the '80s. But anyhow, LL Cool J, remember that song "Going Back to Cali"? Anyhow, anyhow, we'll proceed. Hope all is well with you, Miss Loretta. I hope you had a great week, and we hope you have a beautiful Shabbat and a beautiful weekend. We hope you and your family are doing well. Good to see you, and we'll speak to you very soon. We should be pursuing peace. I mean, that's just, to me, that's common sense as far as a believer in the God of Israel, in the King of Israel. We should all be pursuing peace to the best of our ability. And personally, I don't see that we are to be at peace with all men to the best of our ability, like Paul says. And I don't see that we should be feeding and clothing our enemies. Amen to that. Overcome evil with good. Okay. Vegan Church Service, Shabbat shalom to you.
Thank you so much for joining us. Great to see you. I think it's the first time that I've noticed you're on the channel. So thank you so much, welcome, and we hope to see you back here soon. So, Shabbat shalom to you. We hope you had a great week, and we hope you have a great Shabbat tomorrow and tonight as well. Okay, a vegan church service. Hosea 21:18 talks about not using the sword towards animals. Isn't that interesting? Very interesting. You know, it's amazing. Speaking of that, they made me think about this. So, you know, swine, pork, pig. So there's a certain way that God designed the pig that you don't hurt the pig when you kill it, right? If you look at it and do your research, pretty amazing. It's an unclean animal, number one. But still, even with an unclean animal, the way that God does it, it would not hurt the animal. The way that man does it, it does hurt the animal. So, to that point, with Hosea and our friend here, very important, you know, very important just to follow the best way we can His instructions because He tells us these things, you know.
So I don't know if people know that or not, but very interesting. Okay. Yeshua was against the sacrificial system. Countries are sacrificing the life of people when they go to fight against each other. Jesus quotes Hosea 6:6. Isn't that interesting? So, let me go to Hosea 6:6 and let's try to tie this in together. Okay. Hosea 6:6, our friend writes here: "For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." Okay. So, again, I'm not sure. Let me see where Yeshua tied that in here with Hosea 6. Let me just... It's probably not as professional as it needs to be, but please excuse me while I ask this. Could you tell me where Jesus quotes Hosea 6:6? Isn't that interesting how some of the stuff works these days? Let's see. In fact, Yeshua quotes Hosea 6:6 to our friend's point twice in the Gospel of Matthew. So, He quoted it twice in Matthew 9:13 and Matthew 12:7.
So, again, I'll just read this while we have it. Hosea 6:6: "For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." Matthew 9:13: "But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Okay. In Matthew 12:7, this is the second time He quotes Hosea 6:6. He says, "But if you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless." Okay. So, the context was the Pharisees accused Yeshua's disciples of violating the Sabbath because they were plucking grain to eat. You know what I'm saying? So, again, He is the living Torah. So, He came to explain the deeper revelations of the Torah. That's why the Pharisees and the Sadducees didn't know what to do with Yeshua because He was just talking over their heads and over their heart postures.
Okay? And again, why do I say that? Because today is the same way. We've got a lot of people. I used to be one of them. I thought I knew everything, pride, and my heart posture wasn't where it needed to be. And He dealt with that. And I pray He continues to deal with that. Okay. So again, He's going to speak over our heads and through our hearts, not in a good way, unless our hearts are circumcised to receive what Yeshua truly meant by the deeper revelations of what our friend here posted with Hosea 6:6. So again, He is the word of God. The word of God is on His thigh in Revelation 19. He is the living Torah, the word made flesh. What does that mean? That means that He came as the living Torah to explain what murder truly is, not just the physical, but the heart posture. What is adultery? Not just the physical, but the heart posture of me looking at a lady and undressing her as she walks by.
