Israel is receiving a lot of attention these days. That's what happens when the God of Israel moves to a new phase of fulfilling His promises to restore and bring final redemption to Israel. It seems, though, that not everyone is pleased with how He is fulfilling His promises. Perhaps they would be happier with the restoration of Israel if the Jewish people weren't part of it.
That sounds ridiculous, but there are voices, even among Christians and Hebraic followers of Yeshua, who oppose the Jewish people, the Jewish state, and the Jewish nature of God's covenant nation of Israel. Some try to cloak their opposition as anti-Zionism rather than antisemitism, but the foundation of such opposition is still dislike and even hatred of the Jews. Why is that?
This is what David Altman addresses in this conversation. As he explains, there are two converging streams of Jew hatred: Amalek, which seeks annihilation of the Jewish people and nation; and Jeroboam, which is jealous of the status and blessing God has bestowed on the Jewish people, and seeks to usurp it. So how do we know which stream is which? And is it possible to overcome this opposition and bring reconciliation?

You shall not take the name of YHWH your God in vain, for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Deuteronomy 5:11
This commandment isn't about saying the words God or Yahweh, etc. It's about dishonoring God's reputation by acting unjustly or sinfully in His name and by falsely attributing words or doctrines to him. In other words, anything that misrepresents God or besmirches his character is "taking YHWH's name in vain."
Don't speak or command in God's name if God wouldn't approve of what you're saying. Don't use his name casually. Keep it close. Honor it. Use it sparingly and reverently.

In Jeremiah 3, God tells Judah that he "divorced" Ephraim, the northern kingdom of Israel, but elsewhere he identifies all of Israel as his "firstborn son" and says that he divorced Ephraim's and Judah's mother. How are we to reconcile these contradictory metaphors?
The answer is simple: We reconcile them by recognizing that they are metaphors. A metaphor is an illustration that is not meant to be taken as literally true.
This article addresses a false doctrine that stems from over-literalizing the metaphors that the Bible uses to describe God's relationship with Israel:

News outlets include some sort of story about Artificial intelligence almost every day. A.I. has been used to examine the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Shroud of Turin and people are using it more often for various work and play. I have said and written that the word artificial is defined as fake. A.I. is nothing more than a very fast search engine that has the capability to search through the thousands of digitized documents that have been written by real people and summarize them within a few seconds. A.I. can be a useful tool but sadly many are treating it as a god.
