Israel & Middle East

At Prophecy Today, we believe that God's covenant with Israel remains secure. A brief glance at the news shows that the Middle East remains one of the most contested, fought over areas in the world. This section examines unfolding events in the region and their biblical significance, with a special focus on Israel.

We believe that Israel will continue to take centre stage in international politics for a long time to come, because the tribes of Israel were God's Chosen People, and because the Bible speaks very clearly about their continuing prophetic importance, right up until the end of days.

This does not mean we condone every part of Israeli politics, but it does mean that we believe in blessing Israel, and praying for God's covenant promises to be fulfilled, according to God's expectation for the Christian church.
