Is Modern Israel in Bible Prophecy?
In this episode, Ruslan KD sits down with Jonathan from Ear to Hear to dive deep into one of the most debated theological frameworks among Christians: dispensationalism vs covenant theology. They unpack what Scripture says about Israel—past, present, and future—and whether modern geopolitical Israel aligns with biblical prophecy.They explore questions like:Are the Jewish people still God’s chosen people under a unique covenant?Does “all Israel will be saved” mean the modern nation-state or the ethnic people scattered across the world?Should Christians support every action of Israel’s government in the name of biblical prophecy?The conversation also addresses the role of prophecy in modern politics, conspiracy theories around Mousad and the CIA, and the controversial use of Scripture in political rhetoric by figures like Ted Cruz. Throughout, Ruslan challenges easy assumptions while Jonathan lays out the case for a literal, dispensational reading of the Bible—arguing that God works in distinct eras and still has a plan for ethnic Israel.This is a nuanced and honest conversation for believers wanting clarity on end-times theology, how to interpret Romans 11, and how to approach Israel with both love and discernment. 🎁: Get a Free 7-Day Trial on Patreon! / kingsdream 🙏: Check Out the Bless God Shop: http://blessgod.shop📖: My Go-To Bible Software (Logos 60 Day Free Trial): http://logos.com/ruslan🆓: Free PDF of the Bless God Prayer Journal: http://blessgodpdf.shop🔓: FREE Freedom Habits (Course w/My Therapist): http://www.mastermyhabits.com
