05.16.2023 - By Ezra and Carly
You may have heard that 2023 is Israel’s 75th anniversary, but do you know exactly what that’s referring to? In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra explore this topic, filling in gaps you may have about when and how Israel became a nation again, how the Arab world views Israel’s existence and a startling shift in the United Nations’ (U.N.’s) attitude toward Israel in the last 75 years. They discuss:
What led to Israel’s independence
Why the date changes on the calendar from year to year
The State of Israel as a fulfillment of the prophecy found in Isaiah 66:7–8
Anti-Semitism – is it really real or just an exaggeration?
Nakba Day – what it is, what it means and why it’s a shocking sign of the times
Two reasons why this is important to all Believers in Jesus
What you can do to make a difference for Israel – two simple things
Along the Way
Along the way, you’ll hear Ezra and Carly talk about other things like:
The surprising size of Israel’s Arab-citizen population
Where the word Palestine came from
“Drunk with rage?” – what does that mean, and rage against who?
What government won’t even say the name of Israel
As a Christian, your destiny is inextricably connected to what’s happening to the Jewish people
Arm yourself with information. Be informed. Be a voice.
