Welcome to a new episode of Inside the Epicenter with Joel and Lynn Rosenberg! In this episode, Joel examines the prophetic and contemporary global significance of China, Gaza, and Russia, asking: What role does China play in Biblical prophecy? How do today's world events involving China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea impact Israel, the US, and the broader epicenter? Join us as Joel unpacks key biblical passages, reflects on the ongoing spiritual awakening in China despite persecution, and discusses geopolitical threats—from the rise of fentanyl to global alliances. Drawing on his recent talk at Refuge Church in California, Joel calls listeners to pray strategically for China, Israel, and the persecuted church, while offering hope from Scripture for these turbulent times. If you are looking to understand world events through a biblical lens, you won't want to miss this episode.
