In this episode, Joel shares his compelling journey from serving as a political consultant and novelist to making aliyah with his family and residing in Israel. He discusses the October 7th terror attacks, analyzing them not solely as acts of warfare but also as profoundly spiritual, demonic-inspired events. Joel examines the biblical significance of Gaza, contemplating both its history of judgment and God’s persistent love for all inhabitants of the region, including Israelis and Palestinians. Listeners will also be encouraged to join in fervent prayer for all those suffering in the region, along with insights from Scripture regarding Gaza's future. This episode functions as a pertinent reminder of the vital importance of hope, compassion, and prayer during times of crisis.

Verse of the Day: Zephaniah 2:3. Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility. Perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the Lord's anger.

Pray that every other demonically inspired assault that's being planned against Israel will not succeed.
Pray that more Christians will stand in prayer for Israel and show compassion to all those suffering in the region.
