Inspiration from Zion from Jonathan Feldstein

As jaws are still being picked up from the floor, pundits are commenting, and world leaders are chastising the nature and comments that came out of this week’s Trump-Netanyahu meeting and public comments. Under the microscope are questions of the substance, the practicality, the nuance, and proposing things never been proposed before. President Trump declared that Gaza should not go through a proc...

Was Jimmy Carter an antisemite? If so, how, and how was that compatible with his being a Christian? Pastor Mark Biltz and Dr. Victoria Sarvadi unpack Carter’s antisemitic tendencies from a theological perspective, and give insight to his advocacy for a Palestinian Arab state, calling Israel an apartheid state, justifying terrorism against Israel, and blaming Jews for his electoral loss in 1980.

We’re all shocked, still having a hard time processing how this powerful South African-born Chrisitan Zionist powerhouse is no longer with us. She’s truly irreplaceable.

This past week we woke up one day and found that the Assad dictatorship that controlled Syria for nearly six decades was gone.
