Proclaiming Justice

Where did Christian support for Israel actually begin? Jonathan Immanuel, author of Britain, the Bible and Balfour, joins Laurie Cardoza-Moore to unpack a history most Christians have never heard — starting with King Henry VIII's turn to the Hebrew Bible to justify his divorce, and the chain of events it set off through the Puritans, the English Civil War, and centuries later, the Balfour Declaration. Immanuel traces how a nation's wrestling with Mosaic law shaped English — and eventually American — biblical conviction about the Jewish people's return to their land. This conversation lays out the theological and historical roots of Christian Zionism with striking specificity: named kings, named preachers, named turning points. It's a reminder that God has been moving history toward Israel's restoration far longer than the headlines suggest.

Israeli journalist and Netanyahu international affairs adviser Caroline Glick joins Laurie Cardoza-Moore in Jerusalem for a candid look at what really happened before October 7th, and what's happened since. Caroline walks through the intelligence warnings that never reached the Prime Minister, the Biden administration's pressure campaign against Israel, and the funding networks tied to anti-government protests at home and antisemitic demonstrations on American college campuses. Caroline and Laurie also connect the legal battles against Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, and talk candidly about why the fight over Israel's right to exist is ultimately a fight over the biblical foundation of America itself.Follow Proclaiming Justice to the Nations, share this episode, and support PJTN's work defending Israel and confronting antisemitism at pjtn.org.0:00 They Never Told the Prime Minister0:39 Biden's Mixed Signals on Israel2:22 The Hostile 'Bear Hug': Biden's Push for a Palestinian State8:35 The U.S. Weapons Embargo on Israel11:10 Netanyahu and Trump: The Same Playbook12:09 Israel's Intelligence Failure: The Walls of Jericho Plan16:23 Israel's Legal 'Deep State' and the Netanyahu Witch Hunt19:29 Trump, Netanyahu, and the Transatlantic Deep State21:29 Who's Funding the Chaos: Soros and the Pritzker Family23:11 Israel, Pfizer, and the Covid Vaccine Rollout33:27 Progressive NGOs and Israel's School Curriculum39:40 Students for Justice in Palestine and the Money Behind Campus Antisemitism42:36 The 'Little Satan, Big Satan' Doctrine47:08 Stand With Israel, LoudlyDon’t forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨🌐 Website: www.pjtn.org📺 YouTube: YouTube.com/PJTNTV🎙️ Subscribe to the Proclaiming Justice Podcast on:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeSalem's One PlaceOr wherever you get your podcasts.

Laurie Cardoza-Moore welcomes Yaffah Batya DaCosta back to Proclaiming Justice for a second conversation, this time on communion.Where did the doctrine of transubstantiation actually come from, and does it hold up against the Torah's clear prohibition on consuming blood? DaCosta walks through the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215, the influence of Constantine and the Greco-Roman reshaping of the early church, and what Jesus, a Torah-observant Jew, most likely meant when he said "this is my body, this is my blood."The conversation also touches Deuteronomy 18's prophecy of a coming prophet, and how institutional blindness to these Jewish roots later opened the door to antisemitism within the Church and beyond it. If you've ever wondered how much of what you practice on Sunday actually traces back to Scripture, this episode is for you.Follow, share, and support PJTN's mission to educate Christians in biblical truth at pjtn.org.00:00 Cold Open: Is Communion Against the Torah?01:20 Meet Yaffah Batya DaCosta03:19 Laurie's Catholic Roots and the Question That Started It All05:14 What Is Transubstantiation?
