Jewish people around the world are targeted for persecution. Will you come to their defense? This responsibility has always been at the heart of The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, and we rejoice when we see other Christians around the world taking it on too. Chris begins a three-part series on believers’ mandate to combat antisemitism and defend God’s Chosen People, studying the prophet’s declaration, “For Zion’s sake, I will not keep silent.” We share Isaiah’s confident hope for the future: that one day, God will completely restore Zion, and Jesus the Messiah will reign from Jerusalem!

The joyous, biblical celebration of Sukkot is upon us! As God commanded in Leviticus 23, the Jewish people today continue to make “booths,” or temporary shelters, called sukkahs during this Feast of Tabernacles to remember how the Israelites lived during their wandering in the wilderness thousands of years ago. Sukkot proclaims three wonderful truths about God: He provides, He protects, and He is present. Uncover the richness of this special scriptural holiday to ancient Israel and the lasting lessons it teaches us today!

When Jesus spoke of caring for “the least of these” in Matthew 25, to whom was He referring? To the Jewish people on Earth during the Tribulation. Jesus was teaching more than a generic moral lesson on charity when He spoke these words. He was offering a prophetic declaration concerning the nations’ future treatment of Israel, which will demonstrate which nations are loyal to the King and which ones reject Him. Before those last days come, let us be found faithful in God’s calling to bless the Jewish people!

Jesus’ words in Matthew 25 concerning “the least of these” have driven many ministries seeking to help the poor and needy. Their work is a wonderful display of love for the Lord.

Could “the least of these” be referring to a group of people separate from the poor and destitute? Tune in for a highly informative, biblical study of Matthew 25 designed to help you better understand this key teaching!

How would you sum up the New Covenant in one word? Simple: Reconciliation. This covenant is all about God reconciling sinners to Himself, and in return, our response should be mending relationships with others. Because continued sin separated Israel from Him, God provided the covenant as a way to share a personal relationship with Him. Only through Jesus’ sacrifice could the covenant be sealed, enabling the Holy Spirit to change believers’ lives while dwelling within us. Enjoy the conclusion of our three-part series on the New Covenant.

When Jesus’ blood was shed on the cross, the New Covenant was established in front of the Israelites’ eyes after hundreds of years of waiting. This covenant changed their relationship with God, and it gave a special privilege to everyone who trusted in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. This week we enjoy the happy truths of the New Covenant for believers and for all of Israel.

Surrender! That was the prophet Jeremiah’s message to the people of Judah. Their disobedience to God and the Law meant God would use Babylon to judge them. But in one of their darkest moments, God made a new promise to His people—a promise to write His law on their hearts and return them to their land. Enjoy part one of our series analyzing this New Covenant that changed the way God deals with humanity forever.

At the center of all the mayhem surrounding Israel and the Middle East is one powerful, villainous nation: Iran.

Behind the evil regime’s oppression, many Iranians are coming to faith in Jesus. Let us pray for these people and against the terrorists who seek to destroy God’s Chosen People!
