S4 EP5 | Is the Modern State of Israel a Miracle or a Catastrophe?

Listen Later

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.
