The Salvation and Restoration of Israel |S5:E1|

In the opening episode of Season 5 of the House of David podcast, Gabi and Pastor Eric discuss the ministry's focus on helping Christians understand their Biblical heritage and connection to Israel. They reflect on previous episodes covering God's covenants, the Hebrew calendar, Jewish festivals, and the Jewishness of Jesus. The conversation shifts to the ongoing conflict in Israel and the rise of anti-Israel sentiment, even within the church. Pastor Eric highlights the disturbing trend of Christians expressing sympathy for Hamas and questioning Israel's legitimacy. They draw parallels to the silence of the church during Nazi Germany and discuss the decline of Biblical worldview among Christians, leading to a lack of support for Israel. Pastor Eric digs into the theological concept of supersessionism, which asserts that the church has replaced Israel as God's chosen people, and outlines different forms of this belief. Gabi and Pastor Eric stress the importance of understanding Israel's role in God's plan and urge Christians to pray for Israel's restoration and salvation.
