Thank you, Bryce. This piece is so intriguing and engaging as we discover ourselves in the throes of this apparently “un-American” crossroads that we currently face in these USA.
I pray we do note well your take mitigating actions “It happened in Rome, and it’s happening in the United States. We’ll need our own Hebrew revival, among other things, to stop it.”
For this to happen, Evangelicals will have to get their heads out of their collective arses and attempt to understand Old Testament theology the way first century Christians did.

I'd settle for folks to understand it the way Jews and Protestants taught it ca. 1650! :-)

Nothing so fancy! Just the Torah’s “republic” founded in part on rough economic equality . . .
