Welcome to Inside the Epicenter with Joel and Lynn Rosenberg. In this episode, Joel shares reflections from a recent visit to Huntington Beach, offering a biblical perspective on Israel’s recent turmoil, especially the events of October 7th. Joel clarifies that what Israel is experiencing is not God’s judgment but a “divine shaking” intended to awaken hearts and draw people back to their Shepherd. Using Amos 9 and Ezekiel 34, the episode discusses how God’s love and faithfulness stay constant, even in the darkest times. This is the second part of an ongoing series.

Bible Verse:

Verse of the day
Amos, chapter 9, verse 9.
“For I will give the command, and I will shake the people of Israel among all the nations as grain is shaken in a sieve and not a pebble will reach.”

Prayer Request
Will you join us in praying that more Jewish people will come to know Jesus as their Lord, the Messiah? That the circumstances around them will draw them to their good shepherd. And please pray that Israel's leaders and people will be comforted and encouraged, despite everything that has happened in the last many months.
