Matt Eby provides a footnote to the discussion he is having with Gus Zuehlke, Mike Velner and Peter Helland over the theology that is behind America's foreign policy in the Middle East. In this show Matt explains his understanding of Genesis 12: 1-3 and how these scriptures help us understand what is meant by the "Seed of Abraham." Matt especially looks at these scriptures to see if there is a promise from God that the Jews would return to the land of Palestine and re-establish their nation. It is also mentioned how the Christian witness around the world is often harmed by the theology and behavior that comes from the dispensationalists or Christian Zionists. But not just Christian Zionists claim that God prophesied the Jews would return to Palestine but also the Puritans like Jonathan Edwards and later preachers such as Charles Spurgeon.
