Drawing from Esther’s story, Kay reminds us that even when God seems silent, He is working behind the scenes. Through biblical insights and personal experience, she calls believers to humble themselves in fasting and prayer, especially for Israel and her neighbors during challenging times.

    Verse of the Day: Esther 4:16. - Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. And I and my maidens will also fast, and then I will go into the king. This is not according to the law. And if I perish, I perish. 

    Prayer:

    Praying that more and more people will pray and fast and ask the Lord to protect Israel, but also ask the Lord what their role is in standing with the people of Israel and the people in the epicenter, to bring God's word there, to bring the power of God's word.
    Pray for more Christians around the world who will be willing to pray and fast

  • Does Revelation 16 Prophecy REVEAL China's End Times #287

    Joel and Lynn Rosenberg dive into a compelling discussion about China’s role in biblical prophecy and the end times. Drawing from Revelation 16, Joel unpacks what it means for China to be a “prototype of the tyrannical Antichrist society” and explores the idea that China could lead the coalition known as the “kings of the East” in the prophetic battle of Armageddon. The conversation covers the signs of the last days, China’s persecution of Christians, and the miraculous growth of Christianity within its borders despite overwhelming oppression. The Rosenbergs also highlight the geopolitical challenges posed by China and encourage listeners to pray for the persecuted church, for America’s leaders, and for wisdom in facing these end-times realities. If you’ve ever wondered how today’s global headlines fit into biblical prophecy—or what the future might hold for China and the world—this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

  • Special Episode - Remembering Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim #286

    In this heartfelt conversation, host Joel Rosenberg is joined by Gal Lavie, Director of the Founder’s Office at the Joshua Fund and an IDF reservist, to address a devastating tragedy that has shaken both Israel and the United States: the recent murder of two young Israeli diplomats, Yaron Lischinsky and his soon-to-be fiancée, Sarah Milgrim, in Washington, DC. Joel and Gal share personal memories of Yaron—an accomplished, passionate, and peace-driven young man well-respected within Israel's evangelical Christian community. Together, they reflect on the grief and outrage felt by Israelis, the Jewish community, and friends of Israel around the world, and examine the surge in antisemitism that contributed to this horrific act. Joel and Gal place this tragedy within the broader context of ongoing conflict and struggle in the region, discussing not only the personal loss but also the implications for Israeli diplomatic security, the enduring pain of war, and the continued need for prayer, comfort, and solidarity. Listeners are invited to join them in honoring the lives of Yaron and Sarah, supporting their families, and praying for peace and protection for all those affected by this profound loss.

And he said to them, Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

    Verse of the Day:  2 Peter chapter 1:21. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

    Prayer:

    Praying for peace in Ukraine and a quick resolution of this ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
    Pray that people would be more open to showing love to Israelis and Palestinians, and that Christians would find their voice to preach the gospel to all people.
