Israel Gay Pride Parade, IDF Soldier Arrested, How Does it Make Sense for Christians?

**Ari Bram** (0:00)
They just threw a soldier in prison for having the soldier on for the temple.

**Jeremy Pell** (0:04)
Right, and you created that patch.

**Ari Bram** (0:05)
Not the temple, it's the Mashiachos.

**Ari Bram** (0:06)
The Messiah and the temple, why? Because they're like, no, I'm the king of Israel, you're fighting for me. And he's like, I'm not fighting for you, I'm fighting for God, I'm fighting for God's presence in the world and the temple.

**Jeremy Pell** (0:17)
And Israel's enemies understand that, because every war and every attack is all about, like you would never know it or think it, but it always comes back to the temple, and Jerusalem, and the Messiah.

**Ari Bram** (0:27)
There's a gay pride raid today, that doesn't really jive with like what Jerusalem is meant to be in the Bible.

**Ari Bram** (0:33)
There's a gay pride flag outside the Knesset.

**Ari Bram** (0:35)
Yeah, but what do you say about that?

**Ari Bram** (0:36)
You're really asking me what I say about that?

**Ari Bram** (0:38)
I want you to defend Jerusalem.

**Jeremy Pell** (0:40)
There you go folks, I think that was a great overview of the news. What do you guys think? I love it.

**Ari Bram** (0:44)
Well, do you want to talk about this weird conversation that happened between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump?

**Jeremy Pell** (0:53)
Welcome to The Israel Guys with Jeremy Pell, Ari Bram, with Joshua Waller, and it's been, I'm pretty sure, a month and a half, almost two months. So it's really good to be with you guys. Glad you guys are able to be back here. We're all back in Israel, been all over the world. You guys have, I guess, been in Israel still, so you guys haven't gone anywhere.

**Ari Bram** (1:11)
Yeah, we're just in Judea.

**Jeremy Pell** (1:12)
You guys are on the farm.

**Ari Bram** (1:13)
But we missed you guys a lot. And the truth is, if this show all of a sudden got banned and we got zero views, I would still come just to hang out with you guys.
Really, we missed you. You really strengthen us.

**Jeremy Pell** (1:24)
You might have to do that, you know, because the world is banning us, for sure. I mean, the UN is trying to ban us. I think we talked about that a little bit.

**Joshua Waller** (1:31)
I think we're a version. We won't get into that. We're going to come to your house, I think.

**Ari Bram** (1:34)
Okay, you're always welcome in our house. My kids love your kids.

**Jeremy Pell** (1:37)
The views are good at your house, for sure.

**Joshua Waller** (1:39)
I did want to, I just had a quick thought though. Ari, how's the Judean diet going? I don't know if that's worth it.

**Ari Bram** (1:46)
That's a great question.

**Jeremy Pell** (1:47)
Is that a fetcher?

**Ari Bram** (1:48)
No, because we were at a wedding last night.

**Joshua Waller** (1:50)
It's been a month and a half.

**Ari Bram** (1:50)
It was a wedding. It was my nephew. And I saw you hit that buffet table.

**Ari Bram** (1:55)
That's right. Part of the rules of the Judean diet is that 24 hours ahead of time, you can shift the window. So I started eating at 5.3 in the afternoon and I got to eat until 12.30. I stopped at 10.30. Wow. That's it. But the Judean diet, people's like, what is this Judean diet? It's not, for me, it manifests in intermittent fasting, but it's about tethering and integrating your physical health with your spiritual health, making it a god thing. Oh, nice. And so we've started. Yeah, let's do that.

**Ari Bram** (2:21)
So it's working.
I mean, in a real way now, not I'm laughing at you at the wedding, but I'm saying in a real way, that is, I think, the fundamental message that actually unites us both spiritually, that it's not just like, oh, there's a religion, there's a theology, there's a spiritual life that I'm happening over there and it's inside and I'm like, well, it's like, no, how does the physical reality change? If we're trying to build God's kingdom, it's actually building God's kingdom in a place in the world. And at the same time, we're building God's kingdom spiritually inside it. And it's fusing the both, it's elevating the physical. It's like integrating.

**Ari Bram** (2:55)
There's a difference between not eating because I don't want to be fat. So aesthetically, I look better at the beach or I understand that I'm going to be healthier. So I'm taking this desire I have for food, this, this tiva, this compulsion and putting it on an altar before God and saying, I'm doing this for you in order to sanctify your name to be a vessel for your light in the world. Those are two totally different experiences.
