Can the Abraham Accords Survive the Gaza War? #246

In this episode of Inside the Epicenter titled "Finding Hope in Isaiah 40", Joel Rosenberg and guest speaker Tommy Fretwell explore the profound spiritual insights and promises in Isaiah 40.

Joel expresses gratitude and delves into themes of God’s kindness, servanthood, and future promises for Israel and the world, emphasizing God’s desire to win back His people tenderly. Tommy Fretwell shares a significant meeting between an orthodox Jewish Prime Minister and the Joshua Fund, highlighting the importance of trust, mercy, and aligning with God’s prophetic plan during challenging times.

The discussion of Isaiah 40 covers its historical context, including the fall of the northern kingdom to Assyria and Hezekiah’s reign. Tommy explains Isaiah’s shift from judgment to comfort and messianic blessings. Joel explores the concept of "double" in Isaiah, which signifies fulfillment and exactness and relates this to the promise of joy and restoration.

They examine verses 3-5, which call for preparing a way for the Lord, tying it to John the Baptist’s role and future global recognition of the Messiah. Verses 6-8 emphasize the transience of human life compared to the enduring nature of God’s word, offering lasting hope and comfort.

Joel discusses the dual nature of prophecies, the first and second comings of the Messiah, and reads Isaiah 40:1-2, highlighting themes of comfort and peace for Jerusalem. He ties Isaiah 53 into the discussion, presenting the servant’s role in fulfilling promises of comfort and forgiveness.

The episode concludes with a reminder of God's enduring word as the foundation of faith, its living and transformative power, and the unbreakable promise connecting salvation to Israel’s prophecies. It ends with a call to focus on these eternal truths.

 

04:49 Prayed Psalm 119:18 for guidance and awe.

07:47 Hezekiah's actions led to Babylonian prophecy fulfillment.

11:56 God allures, comforts, and loves to restore people.

16:04 Double judgment reflects Israel's firstborn status.

19:15 John prepared for Jesus; full prophecy awaits.

24:39 Trust God's Word; trials are temporary.

25:27 The foundation of faith: the word of God.

30:00 Salvation's security ensures Israel's promises endure.

33:36 Exploration of scripture, feedback, and connection encouraged.

We speak with Aviva Siegel, an Israeli who was kidnapped from her home in Kfar Azza on October 7th, along with her husband Keith, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen. They were taken hostage into the tunnels under Gaza, and Aviva was released during the temporary ceasefire deal in November 2023. However, over a year later, Keith remains a hostage in Gaza. In this emotional and haunting conversation, Aviva shares her chilling story of survival, recounting her experiences, fears, and determination to keep the memory of the hostages alive. Her story highlights the human cost of conflict and the importance of advocating for those held against their will. Join us as we hear Aviva's powerful and poignant account and learn how you can make a difference in bringing Keith and the other hostages home.

 

(00:03) No one in the world should go through this.
(11:16) I nearly died so many times.
(20:15) I would love to meet Trump to tell him what I went through.

Verse of The day


Psalm 37:1-10


Fret not yourself because of evildoers. Be not envious of wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and justice as the noonday. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices. Refrain from anger, forsake wrath, fret not yourself, it tends only to evil. The evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more. Though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.
