A dangerous trend has quietly taken hold throughout the world today: Holocaust misinformation. Almost two thirds of young American adults don’t know the Holocaust killed 6 million Jews, and more than 10 percent even believe Jews caused it! These beliefs are both a cause and result of growing antisemitism. That’s why it’s so important that the truth of the Holocaust …
Shalom! This is an exciting week for The Friends of Israel: We’re enjoying our first Up to Jerusalem tour back in Israel since 2019. Executive Vice President Steve Conover calls into the show today from the other side of the world to speak with Chris about our tour and what his experience has been like in the Holy Land this …
God gave Israel special gifts and a special calling. They set Israel apart from the other nations of the world, serving as distinct marks of its unique status as God’s chosen nation. He has given the Jewish people covenants, promises, law, patriarchs, worship, and the Messiah Jesus—a blessing we have received and for which we are indebted to Israel. And …
Why do you support Israel? Maybe you support its democratic policies that make it stand out from the rest of the Middle East. If you know your Bible, you might point to a passage like Genesis 12:1–3 as your reason, wanting to honor God’s command to bless the nation. But this week we’ll consider Romans 11:28–29, a short passage Paul …
Last week we learned about the year of Jubilee, which God instructed the Israelites to remember in Leviticus 25. Though Jubilee is rarely mentioned in the rest of Scripture, its themes are such a key to Bible prophecy. They show up in the Old Testament, but they also play a major part in Jesus’ message to Israel. In the second …
Everybody needs a reset at some point. When things go wrong, we wish we could start fresh. Thanks to God’s instructions for the Promised Land, Israel had this opportunity! This week and next we’ll learn about the year of Jubilee, a uniquely identifying part of Israel’s culture. Every seven years, the Land of Israel was allowed a sabbath rest. This …
Our organization has changed in many ways since its origin more than 80 years ago. It has kept up with the modern demands of a ministry that fulfills the God-honoring mission to which we have been called. But one thing that has never changed—and we pledge to never change—is the doctrinal truths of the Bible upon which we stand. Continue …
Christians have shared an important friendship with Israel throughout history. But as a whole, that relationship is starting to crack. A recent study found an increasing number of young evangelical Christians are no longer supporting Israel because of its dispute with the Palestinians. How can we support Israel when so many other believers have begun to abandon the Jewish state? …
Christian Zionism is our passionate belief today, but this movement started long before us. Looking back in American history we can see a precedent set forth by many presidents: a desire to see national Israel restored. Miraculously, the world witnessed this come to pass in 1948, and we’re thrilled to see the Jewish people in their homeland today. But the …
Israel’s new prime minister, Naftali Bennett, just completed his first 100 days in office. It had been a long time since anyone besides Benjamin Netanyahu held the title of prime minister in Israel, so there were bound to be some changes once Bennett took the position. One thing that makes Bennett stand out: He’s the first Orthodox Jewish prime minister …
