Ep: 20 The last of the 20 Israeli hostages being held by Hamas have finally been released and we praise God for it. But now the question must be asked: What's next? What becomes of Hamas? What becomes of the Arab nations' grand plans to transform Gaza -- and the entire region, for that matter -- into a tourist mecca?

And what of nations such as Turkey and Qatar being part of President Trump's 20-point peace plan? Do they really seek peace in the region, particularly Israel's peace, or is there more brewing beneath the surface in their involvement? And can Hamas truly be counted on to cooperate?

And finally, what of this historic peace agreement? Is it THE one the Bible speaks of in the Book of Daniel, the one that will usher us into the final 7 years?

Join Zion's Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they dig into these crucial issues and try to make sense of the incredible series of events that have been occurring in the Middle East over the past few months.

In this powerful episode, Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Digital Media Manager Christopher Diaz reflect on their three visits to Israel within the past 10 months—a nation enduring war, resilience, and remarkable faith.

Join them as they share personal stories and on-the-ground insights, including:

• The heartfelt gratitude of Israelis welcoming visitors during wartime.

• How the spirit and demeanor of the people have changed amid ongoing conflict.

• The reality of running to bomb shelters and witnessing missiles intercepted overhead.

• The surreal experience of standing at the site of the October 7, 2023, massacre.

• Moments of sharing the Gospel and encouragement with Israelis in need of hope.

• Updates on what’s happening in Gaza today.

• And above all, the unmistakable sovereignty of God at work throughout the Middle East.

🎧 Tune in for a candid, faith-filled conversation that blends eyewitness testimony, biblical perspective, and hope for Israel’s future.

The Middle East is filled with moving parts. Israel is still battling Hamas throughout Gaza. The water crisis which is crippling Iran is also spreading to Iraq and Syria. Potential new global trade routes are stoking the flaming anger of Russia, Turkey, and China. And what about the lesser-known playing pieces Armenia and Azerbaijan? What place on the chess board to the play?

If indeed the Middle East is a chess board filled with prophetic implications, just how does each move these nations make draw the world ever closer to the events predicted so long ago in the biblical books of Ezekiel and Revelation?

Join Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they examine what is happening in the Middle East at this moment and finding possible connections to prophetic fulfillment.

Can a land long known for war and chaos be transformed into a thriving paradise of peace and prosperity?

In this episode, we explore the bold and ambitious vision known as The G.R.E.A.T. Trust — a multinational proposal backed by moderate Arab nations, Israel, the United States, and global corporations. The goal? To turn Gaza into a glittering Mediterranean hub of trade, high-tech innovation, and international tourism — a “mini-UAE” rising from the rubble.

But is such a transformation even possible?

We dive into:

Who’s funding and leading this initiative?

Why Gaza — and why now?

Can Palestinians truly embrace peace and partnership with Israel?

How does this align with what the Bible reveals about the future of this region?

The G.R.E.A.T. Trust may promise economic revival, but the spiritual battle for Gaza — and the land of Israel — remains at the heart of the matter.

🎙️ Join David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they unpack the geopolitical, spiritual, and prophetic implications of this high-stakes vision for Gaza’s future.

Watch now and discover why this proposal may be far more than just another peace plan.

In Part 2 of Has the Church Replaced Israel?, we confront one of the core arguments of Replacement Theology: that because Jews and Gentiles are now “one in Christ,” all distinctions between them have been erased — and Israel no longer has a role in God’s redemptive plan.

But is that truly what Scripture teaches?

Join Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal, Bible teacher Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz as they explore the Apostle Paul’s writings — particularly Romans 2 — and reveal how many advocates of Supersessionism are cherry-picking verses to fit a theological agenda.

📖 Topics Covered in This Episode:

Are Paul’s words in Romans 2 about spiritual identity or a cancellation of Israel’s role?

Is Judaism annulled in the New Covenant?

What about the Millennial Kingdom and God’s promises to a restored Israel?

What does it mean to be grafted in?

This episode offers a clear, biblical refutation of the belief that the Church has replaced Israel — and highlights God’s faithful covenant with His people.

It goes by many names — Supersessionism, Fulfillment Theology, and most commonly, Replacement Theology. At its core, this controversial doctrine teaches that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan for the world.

But is this what the Bible actually teaches?

In this important episode, Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal, Bible teacher Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz tackle this widely held belief head-on, exposing the serious theological and prophetic consequences of Replacement Theology.

📖 Key Questions We Explore:

Has Israel been permanently cast aside?

Are the promises made to Israel now fulfilled only in the Church?

What does Scripture say about God’s covenant with His chosen people?

Discover how this doctrine distorts the character of God, undermines His faithfulness, and fuels dangerous attitudes toward the Jewish people — and why it must be biblically corrected.

If you’ve ever wrestled with understanding Israel’s role in God’s redemptive plan, this conversation will equip and encourage you.

In this thought-provoking continuation, Zion’s Hope team member Josh, based in Israel, returns to our U.S. headquarters to share a deeply personal and powerful account of what life is like for Israelis caught in the storm of war, fear, and rising global hostility.

🎙️ In Part 2 of this riveting conversation, Josh sheds light on the Israeli mindset:

Why are Israelis the target of such intense global contempt?

What is the source of this growing hatred?

And how are hearts beginning to open to the truth of the Messiah?

Josh reveals that many in Israel are becoming increasingly open — not to a first-time-coming Messiah, but to the One who already came 2,000 years ago and died for their sins. In the midst of the conflict, hope is rising.

He also calls for reconciliation, encouraging Israelis to reach out to their Arab neighbors in love — a powerful testimony of healing and peace in a divided land.

Joined by Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz, this episode explores:

- Life on the ground in Israel

- End-times prophecy and Israel’s role

- The unstoppable mission of the Gospel — even in the midst of chaos
