Inside the Epicenter with Joel Rosenberg

Mike Johnson on US-Israel Alliance, Iran, and Leading with Faith at the Capitol #306

Joel Rosenberg is joined by Dr. Hormoz Shariat to explore the rising crisis in Iran, where widespread protests, many casualties, and mass arrests have occurred.

Dr. Hormoz Shariat provides a sobering look at the suffering inside Iran and the surprising openness of Iranians to the Christian faith, despite intense persecution. Together, they highlight the urgent need for prayer, intervention, and support for the underground church, offering insights into how believers can respond during this tense and historic time.

Welcome to "Inside the Epicenter," with Joel Rosenberg and Lynn Rosenberg—your go-to podcast for understanding Israel, the Middle East, and the pulse of biblical prophecy in our times. In this episode of Inside the Epicenter, Lynn Rosenberg welcomes Victor Kalisher, head of Israel’s Bible Society, to discuss a surprising challenge: most Israelis—even Hebrew speakers—struggle to fully understand their own Bible due to ancient language and tradition. Victor Kalisher shares the story behind a historic breakthrough: the first-ever modern Hebrew translation of the entire Old Testament, making Scripture accessible to today’s Israelis for the first time. Join Lynn Rosenberg and Victor Kalisher as they explore why this translation is so needed, how it was developed, and the powerful impact it’s already having—from opening young people’s eyes to helping schools and soldiers connect with God’s Word. It’s a fascinating look at bridging the gap between heritage and modern life, all at the heart of Israel.

Verse of the Day:  Psalm 119:14-18. It says, I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees. I will not neglect your word. Be good to your servant while I live, that I may obey your word. Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

Praying for the people of Israel that more and more people here in this land where this Word was written, that they will read God's Word, that they will understand God's Word, that he'll open their eyes so that they can see the wonderful things, especially their Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus.
