In this episode, Pastor Mike addresses a growing claim heard from public voices today: that the Israel described in the Bible has no connection to the modern state of Israel. Walking through Scripture—especially Genesis 12, Romans 11, and Revelation—he explains why there is real continuity between biblical Israel and the Jewish people living in the land today. Pastor Mike also clarifies an important distinction: affirming God’s covenant promises to Israel does not mean approving everything Israel does politically or morally. Instead, it means taking God’s Word seriously and trusting that He will fulfill His promises exactly as He said He would.
