Israel is surrounded by enemies. Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, all backed by Iran, attack Israel relentlessly from many sides. Antisemitism is running rampant toward both the Jewish nation and Jewish people around the world. Is there any hope for Israel? God’s Word is clear: There will always be hope for Israel! God made a promise to Abraham—one that remains …
One year has passed since Hamas’s brutal massacre of 1,200 Israelis and kidnapping of hundreds more on October 7, 2023. Life in Israel has changed significantly since then.

What is a ketubah? What’s the purpose of a year-long betrothal? And do Jewish weddings today follow the same customs they did long ago? On this week’s show, The Friends of Israel’s vice president of North American Ministries and our resident Jewish sage, Steve Herzig, offers an expert look at the purpose of marriage and the wonderfully unique world of …
Jesus came to Earth being fully God and fully human simultaneously. The unique name “Son of Man” ties these two elements of our Savior wonderfully.
