A Jew and a Gentile Discuss

Israel: Are We in the End Times?

Listen Later

In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra continue their conversation about the End Times and where Israel fits in regarding Bible prophecy. They dive into the Christian and Jewish mindsets toward the Last Days and challenge listeners to rethink a “for-Christians-only” understanding. The discussion turns to the difficult things Israel experienced on October 7, how these events may have caused some listeners to disengage with God and the importance of finding your way back to re-engaging with Him. They talk about:

 

  • What’s meant by the End Times and what Christians think of when they hear it
  • How the End Times isn’t just a Christian thing but first appears in the Hebrew Scriptures
  • Hard things to come in the End Times
  • The Christian response to Israel’s suffering
  • The mixed reality of both grief and hopeful anticipation contained in the package of the End Times

    Along the Way

    Along the way, Carly and Ezra also discuss:

    • The challenge to make room in our hearts for what Jesus feels about Israel
    • What most Christians think of when they think of the period approaching the End Times
    • The birth pangs, “beginning of sorrows,” that Jesus talked about regarding the Last Days
    • Jesus’s love in preparing His followers for the future
    • A challenge to Jewish people who think the idea of the End Times is only a Christian concept to look again at the Hebrew Scriptures, at Moses and the prophets
    • How the atrocities of October 7 can cause confusion, sideline our faith and make us disengage with God, and the encouragement to check back in and re-engage with the Lord
