Bible verse of the day:

Matthew 28:18-20 - And Jesus came and said to them, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, Jesus says, I, Jesus, am with you always, even to the end of the age. 

Prayer Request: 

Pray with us about the corridor between Tel Aviv and Tehran, that God would be mightily pouring out His Spirit in Tehran, into all the Iranian people, even the enemies, even the most hardened enemies, that God would appear to them in visions and dreams, and that they would come to know Him, and that the whole Holy Spirit would be poured out all the way across that highway down to Tel Aviv.


Pray for Gaza, that God would break through the darkness, and that there would be new opportunities and open doors for The Joshua Fund and other believers and churches to come alongside and bring hope and life to the people of Gaza. Pray for the orphans and the widows; pray for us as we dream and pursue a ministry center, the Willow House, here in Israel, as we raise the funds to do that; pray with us that God would make it a reality

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter, where we explore the latest events in the Middle East through a biblical perspective. In this episode, Joel and Lynn Rosenberg discuss the surprising new “Mecca Pact” alliance between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan—a development that’s raising eyebrows across the region and among Christian observers. They examine how this pact could affect Israel, why it’s causing both concern and confusion, and whether it fits into biblical prophecy or is simply another political realignment. Join us as we seek clarity, encouragement, and a call to prayer amid rapidly shifting alliances at the epicenter.

Bible verse of the day:


Daniel 7:13-14- In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. And he was given authority, glory, and sovereign power. All nations and peoples of every language worshiped. His dominion is everlasting and will not pass away, and His kingdom will never be destroyed.

 

Prayer Request: 


Pray for Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. We know that countries, like pieces on a chessboard, move around and make different kinds of alliances and plans. And yet, we know from Daniel that the Lord, who is Jesus, the Son of Man, that He is the One with an everlasting Kingdom that will not pass away. And we would love for the people of the epicenter to know that. 
Pray that the Gospel would go forward more and more, that the Church would be strengthened here in the epicenter so that they might turn people away from political solutions— they're putting their hope there— and instead, put their hope in the Lord Jesus, in the Ancient of Days, the One who has written this story long before any of us walked here on earth, long before the Ottoman Empire.

Bible verse of the day:
Daniel chapter 2:20-22-Daniel answered and said, blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belongs wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.

Prayer Request: 
Pray for Israel at this time of great change and great questioning. Pray that the Israelis that they would turn their hearts to the Lord and say, the Lord should lead us.
Pray for this election. Pray that God's will will be done. Pray that people are elected and put in place who will be wise, do God's will, and be kind to the Jewish people.
