Inspiration from Zion from Jonathan Feldstein

With the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran going into its fourth week, Christians around the world are praying for Israel fervently, and looking for firsthand updates about the reality of what’s going on in real time, with no spin, in an honest, and informed way. Jonathan Feldstein not only spends his life building bridges between Jews and Christians and Christians with Israel in ways that are new, unique, and meaningful, he lives in Israel and has raised his family there since 2004. Having studied the history of Israel and the Middle East, if he were a scientist you could say he’s living in his own petri dish. Join the wide ranging and informative conversation.

As the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran is into its second week, closure of airspace has stranded many both inside and outside Israel. Rescue flights of Israelis have begun, bringing home thousands a day, but estimates are that 100,000 or more are stranded overseas. Many tourists in Israel and Israelis with business overseas have left via the Taba crossing, but many are still stuck. What’s it like for Americans who are not used to the realities of war being in Israel when the war began with missiles, rockets and drones raining down on Israel, daily, several or more times a day, sending people to bomb shelters at all hours? What’s it like for Israelis to be stranded away from home, away from their families, away from the war?For information about and how to register for Root & Branch, please go to www.RootandBranchIsrael.comConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co and learn how you can host Shabbat in your community.FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com

For many readers and theologians, the Old and New Testaments (Tanach and the Christian bible) feel disconnected. It’s something that has been an element driving replacement theology. They may be full of inspiration and meaning, but viewed as parallel, and often unrelated. Or, for some, the original replaced by and no longer significant. The writers of the New Testament were all observant Jews so many hints and references in their writing have clear connection to the Tanach which was the only bible they new and studied. The Echoes Bible is a new project, based on the realization that below the surface, careful investigation reveals when you read them side by side, the begin to hear “echoes” from the Old to the New. This is a groundbreaking revelation that has the ability to add dimension and meaning, as well as underscore the truth that Christianity is rooted in Judaism, something that many are still not aware of, and which still needs emphasis.

Almost 100 years since the founding of the Moslem Brotherhood, it remains one of the most influential Islamist movements in the Middle East, and one of the most dangerous in the world. Several Arab countries have banned the Brotherhood, yet they remain an existential threat. Most recently the US has banned three of its chapters, but much more needs to be done. Qatar and Turkey, two countries that have not only NOT banned the Brotherhood, but which are state outposts whose leaders and institutions embrace its ideology have not been banned. How and why does this matter? How has the Moslem Brotherhood penetrated the Middle East, and even the West? Where are the biggest threats? What can be done to remedy this?

The National Religious Broadcasters is the leading membership and advocacy group of Christians in media, in the US and around the world. Over the decades, the NRB has evolved from being primarily about radio, to new modern technologies like AI and everything in between and in all its formats. Synonymous with advocacy for Christians in media, the NRB has become a tremendous advocate for Israel and against antisemitism. The NRB has been transformed under Troy Miller, and its plans vis a vis Israel are bold and inspiring. Join the conversation here, and live at the upcoming NRB Convention.

Recently, the “Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem” issued a joint statement explicitly condemning Christian Zionism as a harmful and damaging ideology. Their statement accuses local individuals who promote it of misleading public opinion, sowing confusion, and undermining the unity of the Church. The statement further states, “The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches further note with concern that these individuals have been welcomed at official levels both locally and internationally.” It's ironic that days earlier, Christian leaders throughout Israel were welcomed and celebrated by Israel’s head of state, President Herzog, at the President’s residence, hosted with honor and respect. Does this statement poke the president in the eye, and undermine the very existence of the State of Israel? Is Christian Zionism harmful and damaging? What is the theological basis of such a declaration? Why are there so many Christians who embrace Zionism, from the 19th century? Why was the statement issued now, and who is behind it? What does it mean that Zionism was singled out as problematic, but Israel was not mentioned once?
