Israel- Why is the Middle East Important? Neil Johnson and Jeff Pelletier

Friends in this (rather long) episode the Iran war is winding down and our thoughts go to what we think will happen next- BUT, before we get there we spend very valuable time giving you very important information what MUST BE TRUE for the Everlasting Covenants he made with Israel (some were conditional) to take effect.  It's something you'll want to share with Christian friends who think GOD IS DO...

Jeff get's on his high horse.  :)  Passionate declarations....what do YOU think??

Where does Jesus rule and reign from for 1000 years? The answer is why the specific land that a specific people occupy, is sooo important.

Friends in this episode Neil and I "just talk" about what is on our minds.   We begin with a rap-up of our previous episode on Neil's trip to China.  And we also discuss how God reads the Bible. 

In this episode Neil and I discuss his recent trip to Chine. This was Neil's second trip there.  He went perviously to investigate the JEWISH population and he FOUND IT!   He went back at the invitation of an old friend as they wanted to know more about what is happening with Israel.  A really great show with some profound insights into China and Israel. 

In this episode, Neil and I take you through the present day in Israel and how things are unraveling or unfolding, and we also discuss the power of the promises that God made, and to whom he made them. And we linked that all with how the church of Jesus Christ is involved in that process, and who the church really is.  

 In this episode of Israel, why is the Middle East important Neil and I close the loop around a verse in Isaiah that deals with time. Then we move on to the shared promises of God and how God's promises to Israel become the churches promises as well. If you think the church is Israel, you should pay really close attention to this episode.

Building on the last episode's claims about Israel, we complete the idea that Israel is IN FACT essential to God and His plan for the World.  Listen as Neil and Jeff lead you to this understanding that the nation and people of Israel are essential to his plan. Read Romans 11 and ask yourself: Is the Church  (the followers of Jesus) a NEW Israel or does it become PART of Israel and now required to...

In liberal theological circles the "Preterists" have decided that the current state of Israel is insignificant as are the Jewish People.  God judged Israel in AD 70 by destroying the Temple and sacking Israel once and for all.  The CHURCH is the NEW Israel. This is called "replacement theology" and it seeks to claim the nullification of Israel of the Old Testament with regards to the it's importan...

In this episode we Neil and I dscuss the "Occupied Territory" in Israel.  Yes IN Israel.   Over 50 years ago there was what was called the SIX DAY war.  Part of the result of that conflict was what is now called The Occupied Territory. But lately Israel has renamed it Judea-Samaria.  This is the region in Isreal where MOST of the Bible took place!  But today it is risky to go there. Listen as Neil...

Many are asking: SO IS THIS IT?  GOG AND MEGOG? Listen as Neil and I explain the importance of what is going on right now in Israel and the Middle East. How does it fit into an end times scenario? DOES it fit?  

Did you KNOW?  In this episode Neil and I spend some important time discussing why there is so much continuity to the VIOLENCE and WAR in the MIDDLE EAST.  We also discuss the importance of curiousity and checking your beliefs from. time to time. Don't miss this one!

This is episode 81.  Thank you for listening! in this episode we take on the idea that there are both blessings and curses in the bible and understanding each is important. Then Neil and I take look at the "other countries that we should all be watching as to how they impact Israel. 

“Has the Church Replaced Israel? Think Again.” Did the Christian Church replace Israel—or has it misunderstood its own identity? In this episode, we dismantle the popular but flawed doctrine of Replacement Theology. Many believe the Church has taken Israel’s place in God’s plan, but Scripture tells a different story—one of continuity, covenant, and God’s unbroken promises to the Jewish people. Dis...

Don't miss this one.  We recap Neil's March Trip to Israel and talk about how the STONES CRY OUT!  And we discuss an "evangelical" plan to throw out the Old Testament??  

It's one thing to read about or watch news coverage about Israel, and another to experience it. In this episode with Neil in Israel we talk about a new Archeological find called "The Steps".  In the Torah there certain of God's Holidays (Holy Days) which require a "pilgrimage" toi Israel for ALL Jews.  Passover is of course one as is Shavuot (Also known as PENTECOST).   During these pilgrimages th...

Friends in this episode we talk with Neil by phone while he visited Israel. He's felt called to go for some time and he finally made the trip. This is one of two shows with Neil in Israel so stay tuned for #2 coming soon!! Enjoy!   Jeff

HI friends,  After we finished our previous episode on the backstory of Jesus' birth, Neil and I kept talking about the stuff we always talk about when we're at Dunn Brothers Coffee in St Paul.  It occured to me to keep rolling as I was enjoying the conversation and thought you might like it too.  We were just speaking from our hearts....  Leave us a comment about what you think! :) Shalom!

In this episode of Israel-Why is the Middle East Important< we complete our discussion on how past prophecy from the last century (1900"s), predicted in part where we are now and how THAT leads to Gog and Magog--  The Ezekial War of chap 38 & 39.  But its NOT how you think!! Tune in to see how the world keeps spinning towards the unfolding plan of God, that IS the Bible.

Fear Not, for HE has overcome this broken, human system and is...

In this episode of Israel- Why is the Middle East Important?, we continue from the pervious episode to further explain the importance of the TIME we are in.  This time, we believe, is the beginning of the end.  NOT Armegeddon, NOT Ezekiel 38, 39.  But a season of conflicts when Israel's neighbors and  those in proximity,  begin aggression towards her.  Join Neil and Jeff as they conclude this two-...
