The Israel-Hamas Conflict & Bible Prophecy #227
What is the state of Israel one year after the sad events of October 7? In this episode of Inside The Epicenter, we dive deep into the past year’s pivotal events and tensions. Hosts Joel and Lynn Rosenberg, joined by Greg Laurie, explore a failed plot by Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah to orchestrate an attack on Israel. The conversation highlights the brutal October 7 attack, likened to America’s 9/11, exposing Israel’s unforeseen intelligence failure and the lifesaving role of its missile defense systems. The episode further examines a troubling rise in antisemitism, linking it to historical patterns and demonic undertones. Joel offers insights into biblical prophecy, interpreting current events as fulfilling scriptural predictions and emphasizing spiritual readiness. Listeners also gain perspective on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s bold actions against Iran’s nuclear ambitions, which shifted geopolitical dynamics and led to the U.S. imposing severe sanctions on Iran. The discussion contemplates the potential for escalating conflict amid ongoing missile threats. The impact of these events is contextualized through the work of The Joshua Fund, supporting Israel through education and humanitarian aid. This episode promises a thought-provoking blend of spiritual, historical, and geopolitical analysis, providing a rich narrative on the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
