About this episode

The episode explores the connection between the modern nation of Israel and its biblical roots, discussing the implications for Christians and the Jewish people.

Who is Israel? From Abraham to wars over Gaza, we explore whether today's nation-state is the same as the Israel of the Old Testament. When you hear about the geopolitical events of today around Israel and the Jewish people, how connected is all of that to the stories from the Old Testament of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and continuing on to Jesus? Are the promises made to Israel in the Bible still coming for the Jewish people? Is the Church the new Israel? How should Christians think about what's happening on the world stage? Mace Perez and Adam McIntosh go head-to-head before a larger panel fields questions from you, the audience!
