We are truly living in prophetic times as described in God’s Word, aren’t we? It began with the Book of Exodus, when God redeemed Israel from Egypt and promised to bring them home on “eagles’ wings.”

On today’s episode, host Yael Eckstein will explore how the Bible prophesied about the times we are in right now—and what this means for us in our personal and spiritual lives. As people of faith, we are called to be God’s partner in fulfilling biblical prophecy today, making this point in history such an exciting time to be alive!

Listen now, as the people of Israel prepare to celebrate Aliyah Day—and then learn more about aliyah, the prophetic work of bringing God’s people home to Israel.

“It has taken courage to birth these nations.”

These words are an enduring theme in the life and work of Bishop E.W. Jackson—a pastor, an attorney, a U.S. Marine, and a Christian friend of Israel. A proud American who also stands for the Jewish state, Bishop Jackson sat down recently with Yael Eckstein to discuss his own experiences and his thoughts on the ongoing violence being experienced not just by the people of Israel, but by Jewish people around the world.

Bishop Jackson’s own military service gives him some insight into the struggles Israel faces—defending herself on the battlefield and in the international media. But he shares with Yael his own commitment to standing for Israel now, just as when he was a Marine, “the stewardship of my country was in my hands.”

It’s this stewardship that these two friends in faith and fellowship discuss in this inspiring conversation that once again shows how Israel’s Christian friends are supporting her in her greatest time of need.

As the High Holy Days come to a close, Jews around the world spend one last day in an intense celebration with God before resuming their normal routines.

Simchat Torah, which means “Rejoicing in the Torah,” is unlike any other observance we experience in synagogue.

As host Yael Eckstein describes in today’s podcast, the entire congregation—from the youngest children to the oldest adults—takes out the Torah scroll and joins in a never-ending circle of dancing and singing. The celebration marks the completion of reading through the Torah, from Genesis to Deuteronomy, before the reading cycle begins again.

But the lesson of Simchat Torah, says Yael, lasts all year long. Simchat Torah is a reminder that the way to stay close to God and transform inspiration into action throughout the year is through His Word.
