I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I’m wounded when I hear fellow believers dismiss or attack Israel and the Jewish people. The laundry list of excuses for this behavior includes many acrobatic contortions of Scripture that distance Christians from Jewish people. Antisemitic tropes also play a part in these condemnations. So does misinformation about the Jewish nation, as many Christians understand little of the State of Israel’s history of fighting for its life in defensive wars. They look at the nation’s activity in Gaza and Iran as an unforgivable sin because of the negative optics of military conflict, and they refuse to honor Scripture’s call to bless His Chosen People—even those who have never set foot in Israeli land.

In The Voting Booth, You Won’t See Its Name On The Ballot… But Make No Mistake, Israel Is There

If you’re like most Americans, you’ve had plenty on your mind leading into the midterms—inflation, immigration, healthcare, artificial intelligence, the economy, the Iran war, and control of Congress. But another issue has risen to the top of the nation’s agenda: Israel. Congressional representatives are powerful. Congress controls funding, shapes sanctions, and influences American diplomacy. The men and women elected in November will determine whether the historic U.S.-Israel relationship remains strong or continues undergoing the most significant political reassessment in generations. When you enter the voting booth, you won’t see Israel’s name on the ballot. But make no mistake: Israel is there.

Spiritual Delusion: The Undercurrent Of Australia’s Antisemitism Problem

Those familiar with Australia will know that it is often affectionately called “Down Under.” The origins of the name are obvious. Being located deep in the southern hemisphere, Australia is “down” and “under” almost all other land masses. Yet, there is also a spiritual parallel to this geographic description. Australia is going down spiritually and is suffering under deception, particularly that deception which manifests in Jew-hatred.

Weaponized Against Israel: Is Antisemitism The New Requirement To Win The Nobel Peace Prize?

Antisemitism continues to become normalized on so many levels, and it is also gaining momentum to soon become state-sponsored. The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize decision will help that transition further. In a world where good becomes evil and evil is praised, it is hard to be a person of good will, let alone a Christian. The Norwegian Nobel Committee is confident in the integrity of Ms. Pillay, so she is the recipient of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Once again, the narrative wins over facts. The United Nations is worthless and obsolete, and the Nobel Prize Committee might have joined that woke social club. Next year, maybe all one will have to do is be the holder of the world record for the most time they uttered "Free Palestine" in a year, and they will win.

All Nations Have Not Just The Right, But The Obligation To Defend Their People

Hamas brutally attacked Israel. Its leaders publicly said that they would continue such attacks. Their goal, stated repeatedly, is not a "two-state solution," but Israel’s complete destruction. To this day, they and their allies repeat their genocidal goal every time they chant, “From the river to the sea,” or “Death to Israel,” or “Gas the Jews.” Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said, “Israel has an inherent and inalienable right to defend itself.” To me, it seems self-evident that all nations have, not just the right, but the obligation to defend their people. For years, Hamas has been firing rockets into Israel. After October 7, they fired thousands of such rockets from residential buildings, mosques, schools, and even hospitals. Their actions made those areas legitimate military targets. They do this knowing that civilian deaths in high numbers help their cause.

Politicians Have Amplified And Encouraged Mass Displays Of Antisemitism—And It’s Time For The West To Wake Up

It was a solemn day of remembrance – yet astoundingly, vigils for the victims were met with flagrantly antisemitic protests around the world, including in New York City. The mayor of New York and his counterpart in London both marked the anniversary with statements that, after a throat-clearing mention of the October 7 attacks themselves, were devoted to defaming the Israeli government rather than honoring the victims of the pogrom. It’s just too much to ask for the people of Israel and the global Jewish diaspora to be granted even a day to mourn their dead; instead, their pain is weaponized to punish the Jewish people for daring to defend themselves.

Formally Adopting An Anti-Zionist Platform, The UK Green Party Sets Itself At Odds With God

The UK Green Party has no understanding of the geopolitical reality surrounding Israel, its history, or most importantly, what God's Word says about Israel. The Bible makes it clear that God has an enduring purpose and plan for the Jewish people on the land of Israel. To stand against what God has declared concerning Israel is ultimately to stand against the God of the universe. That's a scary place to be. God is a Zionist. He founded Zion. He chose Zion. He loves Zion. He is zealous for Zion. If you believe your political party can ultimately prosper in its endeavors while openly defying what God has declared concerning Zion and the Jewish people… think again!

Mourning And Miracles: God’s Hand On Israel In Difficult Times And Amazing Times

There is one other ray of light that breaks through on an otherwise very dark day. It is the change in the mindset of many Israelis. Our people have moved to the right politically, and many have moved toward faith in God. An amazing spiritual awakening is taking place. Though it may not last, seeing people turn toward God fills me with far greater hope than what I’ve been watching in the past as they drift toward hedonism, liberalism, and globalism. We have also seen the hand of God on many occasions these past three years. Most recently, the reported attempt to hijack a commercial aircraft carrying 174 Israelis and crash it in a 9/11-style attack ended with all lives spared.

War In The Headlines: Is The Israel-Iran Conflict Connected To Bible Prophecy?

For students of Bible prophecy, the question is unavoidable: is the Israel-Iran conflict connected to Bible prophecy? The answer requires both conviction and caution. We should not make the mistake of turning every missile launch into a fulfillment of prophecy. Yet neither should we ignore the extraordinary fact that approximately 2,500 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel specifically identified Persia as part of a future military coalition that would come against Israel. Persia is modern-day Iran. That alone should cause every serious student of prophecy to pay attention.

The New Antisemitism: October 7 Was A Symptom As Well As A Tragedy

So, it is appropriate to remember the tragedy of October 7. In a gruesome Holocaust fashion, many lost their lives after psychological torture, violence, rape, and fire. Many more were taken hostage by Hamas and a plethora of willing Palestinian co-perpetrators (70%-75%). Even during Nazi Germany, some Germans rescued and sheltered Jews. Not one Palestinian did such a thing in Gaza. The families of all these innocent victims are remembered on this sober third anniversary. Will the wounds of October 7, 2023 ever heal? They might, to a point, but not without a scar.

UK Green Party Declares Zionism To Be ‘Racist,’ Backs Eliminating Israel For A Single Palestinian State

Israel’s Foreign Ministry accused the Greens of adopting an ideology aimed at Israel’s destruction and said the resolution went far beyond legitimate criticism of Israeli government policy. The ministry said the motion “labels as ‘racist’ the aspiration of the Jewish people for self-determination” while advocating a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea.” Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar subsequently barred Green Party leader Zack Polanski from entering Israel, saying the resolution constituted antisemitism under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition because it denied Jews the right to self-determination.

It seems that each day brings a new attack on the Jewish people – whether on the streets of New York or aboard the FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv that nearly ended in catastrophe just a few days ago. The tide of antisemitism unleashed around the globe following the October 7 massacre wasn’t just confined to Hamas sympathizers in the region – it galvanized antisemites around the world to express their hatred for Jews under the flimsy guise of “anti-Zionism.”

When it comes to Gaza’s partnership with the media, the same tactics persist: reinterpreting Israel's agenda, selective casualty reporting, omitting the element of terrorism, glossing the terrorists, failing to clarify combatant status, attaching misleading photos to articles, or including pictures in articles without context. We are in an age of deception.

Israel’s Existence Today Confirms That God’s Prophetic Clock Is Ticking

For those who claim that modern Israel is not Biblical Israel, I would ask: Then why is everything written about Biblical Israel by the prophets happening to the modern state of Israel? Why is the world gathered against her? Why are there efforts to divide the city of Jerusalem? Why is the city a burdensome stone to all the nations? The fact is, Israel’s existence today confirms the fulfillment of prophecies that tell us God’s prophetic clock is moving toward its foretold end. Israel is the timepiece by which last-days events can be measured.

United Nations Against Israel: The Backwards Antisemitic Thinking Of The World Is Stunning—But Not Unanticipated

On Thursday, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu walked to the podium at the United Nations General Assembly, the majority of those seated rose to their feet, not to applaud but to stage a mass walkout. The same had occurred in 2024—though it was discovered that assistants and lower-ranking individuals were deliberately brought into the room to make the exit appear more dramatic for the international cameras. Netanyahu was ready for a repeat of the display, beginning his speech on Thursday with the following statement: “Mr. President, before I begin, just a quick announcement: If there are any other moral cowards who haven’t yet left this hall—please do so now. Thank you very much.”

The Bible Demands A Future For National Israel

Dispensational Premillennialism distinctly holds that God has a positive future for the nation of Israel yet to be realized in the Millennium, the 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ on Earth. The church has not replaced Israel. God’s promises to Abraham and David still hold. They were not fulfilled in the Old Testament era, nor spiritually in the church. This view uses a consistent, literal interpretive method, which allows for non-literal elements, but only when justifiable in the context.

Why it took five months to officially outlaw the Nazi Party is beyond me, but that, coupled with the Nuremberg trials, gave me hope that Nazism–outside of a fringe group of deranged individuals–was defunct.

The piercing sound of a ram’s horn echoing through a concrete underpass in Toronto at the Walk with Israel this past June is not an experience I will soon forget. The crowds of Jews and supporters cheered as they walked. The Shofar blast inspires joy, remembrance, and an intricate, ancient spiritual connection to the Jewish people. The ram’s horn is not only an ancient symbol of Jewish identity, it was also set to serve as a spiritual alarm clock, given by God to awaken the heart and remind the Jewish people of spiritual truths so often forgotten.

How does Hamas feature in past attempts at peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians? What significance is attached to the areas of Gaza and the West Bank (Biblically known as Judea and Samaria)? To answer these questions and more, we need to examine a crucial period of negotiations for peace known as the Oslo Accords.

‘The Word Of Our God Stands Forever’: A Goldmine Of Prophetic Truth About Jesus On Display In Israel

One of the most significant discoveries in the history of humanity took place in late 1946, early 1947. It was done by a Bedouin shepherd in the area of Qumran, in Southern Israel. A collection of well-preserved manuscripts was discovered, and it suddenly pushed back the earliest Old Testament manuscript copies by more than 1,000 years. Before that discovery, the earliest manuscripts dated back to the 10th Century CE (Masoretic text). The Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) took us back to the period between the 3rd and 1st centuries BCE, but the story doesn't end there. When all fragments were found, gathered, and organized, scholars came to realize that, except for Esther, every single book of the Hebrew Bible was present in part or almost in full.

There is a spiritual battle raging today over one nation unlike any other in history. That nation is Israel. It seems everyone has an opinion about Israel—politicians, journalists, influencers, podcasters, celebrities, and social media personalities. Sadly, one of the few places where many Christians are not hearing about Israel is from the pulpit. That silence has come at a tremendous cost. The issue of Israel has become a dividing line in the Church. Entire denominations, Bible colleges, seminaries, pastors, and Christian influencers are abandoning the biblical view of Israel and replacing it with theological systems that deny Israel’s future.

The mayor’s continuing tirades against Israel causes one to wonder if he is running the city or has future political aspirations. Mamdani isn’t a “one-off” candidate.

Part of this is his ongoing excoriations of Israel and its prime minister. Although pretty much everyone knew Mamdani’s threats to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once he stepped foot in New York were empty, it didn’t stop the young mayor’s blustering promise to do just that. President Trump countered with a strongly worded statement the very next day denying Mamdani’s threats.

When a nation loses the ability to distinguish between allies and adversaries, truth and propaganda, leadership and political theater, it becomes vulnerable long before the first battle is lost.

As conflict intensifies in the Middle East, foreign governments expand their influence, and political narratives compete with objective reality, Americans are confronted with a pressing question: Can we still recognize the difference between those who defend freedom and those who seek to undermine it? These are not isolated controversies. They are warning signs that discernment has become one of the most important responsibilities of our time.

It was Jewish apostles who carried the Gospel to the ends of the earth. The first churches were established by Jewish missionaries. Our faith—from beginning to end—flows through Israel.

Literal, Eternal, And Unconditional: Bible Prophecy Begins And Ends With Israel

Imagine you open to the middle of a book. Immediately, you face unfamiliar names and locations. To make sense of the story, you flip to the end. But the ending seems more confusing than the middle. You slam the book shut in disgust. This analogy is about as subtle as a sledgehammer. But it illustrates why so many people have trouble with Bible prophecy. To understand prophecy, we should not start in the middle of the Book or at the end. No, we should begin at the beginning. It’s there, in Genesis 12:1-3, that God makes a startling promise to a man named Abraham. All prophecy hangs on this promise, or “covenant.”

The Term ‘Genocide’ Was Born From The Holocaust… And It Is Now Being Twisted To Attack The Jews

The word “genocide” was coined in 1942 by Polish Lawyer Raphael Lemkin and didn’t exist prior to World War Two.

It has become the main recurring excuse to accuse Israel in this current exponentially growing campaign of delegitimization, demonization, and double standards.

Canada has been getting bad report cards for a number of years now, with 2025 being the worst yet. According to the report by B'nai Brith, 6,800 anti-semitic incidents were documented across Canada in 2025—the highest number ever recorded since the organization began tracking incidents in 1982. That is an average of more than 18 antisemitic incidents per day. The report described Canada as facing a “national crisis of antisemitism,” noting that incidents increased by 9.4% over 2024 and by 145.6% since 2022. B'nai Brith reported a dramatic increase in online harassment, vandalism, and incidents of violence, especially since October 7th, 2023, as well as the alarming increase in the demonization of Zionism and trends of antisemitism on Canadian campuses.

And that puts our Australian Government at direct odds with the true and living God who promised Israel a glorious future.

Baseless Accusations Against Israel: Border Walls Do Not Equal ‘Apartheid’

There were more than 3,000 attacks that originated from Judea and Samaria from September 2000 until the end of 2006 that resulted in the deaths of 1,622 people killed inside the Green Line in terrorist attacks. From 2007, when most of the existing fence was up, until 2022, there have been 141 attacks from Judea and Samaria inside Israel that led to the killing of about 100 people. That is a 97% decrease in Israeli Jewish death toll. So, yes, it makes a big difference.

Many attempt to mask their antisemitism by claiming that anti-Zionism is merely impassioned criticism of a nation that just happens to be Jewish. By claiming Zionism is a “modern colonial ideology” they attempt to legitimise Palestinian ownership of the land at the expense of Jewish self-determination in the ancestral Jewish homeland. The simple equation in the anti-Zionist mind is that if Zionism is indeed colonial, then the State of Israel is illegitimate. But what most people refuse to accept is that the Jewish people do not just have a legal and historical right to the land, they have a biblical claim to it as their national homeland as well.

The plan to abduct Eichmann, dubbed Operation Finale, was a complex mission involving Mossad agents and a civilian physician who entered Argentina during its 150th anniversary celebration of independence from Spain. The timing was crucial, as Israel’s airline El Al did not normally fly to South America, but a government delegation provided cover for the operation. “Dead or alive,” Prime Minister David Ben Gurion told Harel before he left on the mission, “just bring Eichmann back with you. … Preferably alive.

This accusation of colonization goes back to the 1960s, when Yasser Arafat was set up in the Middle East region by the former USSR to destabilize that very region. The Merriam-Webster definition for colonization is either A: "The establishing of a colony, subjugation of a people or area especially as an extension of state," or B: Migration to and settlement in an inhabited or uninhabited area." It is interesting to note that both French and British empires have colonized large sections of the planet over time without anyone–except possibly for the people being colonized–blinking an eye. Israel colonizes, and the whole world is up in arms! But is Israel truly colonizing?

When A Literal Interpretation Of The Bible Is Abandoned, The End Result Is Replacement Theology

Unfortunately, much of Scripture, especially the Old Testament, is interpreted by replacement theologians who use what is known as the allegorical method.

This mindset is especially prevalent when it comes to prophecy. With the allegorical method, prophecy is not to be taken literally but, rather, figuratively and symbolically.

Israel’s Existence Is Not Predicated On Who Sits In The Oval Office

As the Bible profoundly declares, Israel’s existence is not predicated on who sits in the Oval Office, whether its enemies acquire weapons of mass destruction, or its popularity on the world scene.

The deal that's being celebrated may buy everyone in America 25 cents cheaper gas, but it's going to leave a regime standing that fired ballistic missiles on my children at two o'clock in the morning.

If America Empowers A Regime That Openly Calls For Israel’s Destruction, There Will Be Significant Consequences

There is also a biblical dimension that many Christians will immediately recognize. Genesis 12:3 records God’s promise to Abraham: ” I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.” That principle has never been revoked. God’s covenant relationship with Israel remains intact. Any policy that strengthens Israel’s enemies while weakening Israel’s security should concern Christians who take Scripture seriously. This is not simply a matter of foreign policy. It is also a matter of biblical recompense for foolish actions that jeopardize Israel and the West.

Why Israel Refused to Stay Silent In The Face Of Endless Attacks From Hezbollah

The IDF responded after Hezbollah rockets and drones struck Israeli territory in the north, despite intense behind-the-scenes pressure from the Trump administration to absorb the fire to protect ongoing diplomatic negotiations. A lesser government in the Jewish State would have stayed quiet to keep Washington happy, but Israel didn't. Why? Because they reserve the right to defend itself from the barrage of endless attacks from Hezbollah and, ultimately, the source of all the terrorism, Iran.

Trump, Iran, And Israel’s Place In Future Bible Prophecy

I do not know what will happen in the coming days, weeks, and months in the war between Israel and Iran. But with history as our guide, we know that Iran will not give up on its desire to acquire nuclear weapons nor its desire to destroy Israel. With Scripture as our guide, we know the Persian state’s desire to inflict as much terror as possible on the Jewish state will not end until the Lord destroys it.

Israel Remains Blessed, Not Because The Nations Approve, But Because The Lord Has Spoken

In the book of Numbers, Balak, king of Moab, was terrified of Israel. He saw the Israelites not as a people under God’s care, but as a threat to be neutralized. Because he couldn’t destroy Israel militarily, he sought out Balaam—a hired pagan seer whom Balak believed could bend God’s will for a price. Balak wanted Israel cursed, and Balaam entertained the idea for personal gain. Many still line up to carry out Balak’s bidding. They may dress their words in morality, theology, or altruism; but they still feed the ancient impulse to curse whom God has blessed.

Nuclear Ambitions And An Overwhelming Hatred Of Israel: Is Turkey ‘The New Iran’?

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan recently said that Turkey “may be forced” to acquire nuclear weapons to counterbalance Israel and Iran to prevent them from dominating the Middle East. In an interview with CNN Türk, he described having a nuclear weapons capability as a “high-level strategic issue” that must be considered “within the broader, bigger picture” of regional geopolitics.

A Biblical Love: Evangelical Christians Are The Backbone Of Israel’s Support In The United States

Theodor Herzl, the father of modern Zionism, considered William Henry Hechler the first Christian Zionist. Herzl believed the Jewish people’s fate could no longer rest in the hands of nations that accepted them one minute and screamed “Death to the Jews” the next minute. The Jewish people, he believed, needed a homeland of their own. Hechler was as passionate as Herzl but for an entirely different reason. As a Christian, his hope was for Israel’s restoration, which he saw as rooted in Scripture. God promised to return the Jewish people to their ancient homeland, and Hechler believed Him.

The Bottom Line: You Cannot Make Any Sort Of Credible Deal With A Modern-day Nazi Death Cult

President Trump seems to have had enough. Over the past two months, he has shown extraordinary patience in negotiating with Iran and trying to close a deal that would end the war. Even though Iran's regime violated the ceasefire time after time, attacking U.S. bases and our allies in the region, the president maintained that Iran wanted a deal and that progress was being made. Yet, something seemed to shift earlier this week when Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz.

A Time To Act: Is Now The Moment For Netanyahu To Declare A New ‘Independence Day’ For Israel

President Trump says that Prime Minister Netanyahu will accept whatever deal his administration makes. Maybe, maybe not. Netanyahu could see the approaching November midterm elections in America and even Israeli elections in October, and declare that this is the moment for a new Israeli Independence Day. Netanyahu knows that there is a growing number of congressmembers who want to reduce Israel's dependence on the United States. Both the Prime Minister and Israel as a whole agree. In 1948, independence meant Israel would become a country—a new Independence Day means Israel gets to hit, and hit back hard, against any threat that thinks Israel shouldn't be one.

Iran’s Unprovoked Ballistic Missile Attack On Israel Is A Big Development, But Is Anyone Truly Surprised?

It is absolutely intolerable to have missiles raining down on your country. Would Americans just sit back and absorb ballistic missiles bombarding the U.S. mainland? Of course we wouldn't! Which is why it was so confusing when President Trump tried to restrain Israel, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to respond to Iran's unprovoked missile attack. The president wants a deal with Iran—a deal which will not be worth the paper it's written on.

Jan Markell: Is Israel’s Spiritual Blindness A Reason For Christians To Reject Them?

Ezekiel 36 emphasizes that when the Jews return to the land, they will do so in unbelief. There will be spiritual regeneration much later! The dry bones of Ezekiel 37 reflect a lack of breath or spiritual life. God states he is gathering them back “not for your sake but for my holy name’s sake,” because their presence among the nations caused his name to be profaned. Ezekiel 36 promises that once back in the land, God will cleanse them, give them a new spirit, and cause them to walk in his statutes. But much later.
