The Week in Bible Prophecy, a Prophecy Watchers podcast.

Welcome to the podcast today.

Mando Gonzalez here with Gary Stearman on The Week in Bible Prophecy Podcast.

Before we begin here, I want to remind everybody that if you're watching this on YouTube

or just any of the other places that you would follow us

subscribe or follow it's always good to uh to continue to grow that so we can get the influence

out there even more well gary we're going to be talking about uh this phrase we're seeing lately

with all the stuff going on with israel no doubt there's a there war about, there's a war kind of preliminarily started, getting ready to really jump in. And you see this battle going on and you see some people say, I stand with Israel and others, I don't. And so what I want to discuss is, you know, do we stand with Israel? And what does that really mean?

So Mondo, what a question.

Standing with Israel is not a simple thing.

If you go back through the ages, Israel's life, whether in the land that they presently

occupy or outside the land, it's very, very complex.

And I think the question right now that's being fought for, even as we speak, is God's relationship with Abraham.

You know, Israel, to me, is not like any other country in the whole world, past, present, or even future, because God declared that country and said, this land, he talked to Abraham, at that time, Abraham, and said, I want you to look in four directions.

I want you to stand in a certain place and everything you see you can claim.

And it's going to become a special place.

And God, in several different chapters of the Bible, goes into Israel at what

Israel was, what Israel was not, and what Israel would be in the far future. But it's right

in the center of God's thinking. And no other country on planet Earth is that way.

Yeah, I think it's uh you

know as you listen today as we get started uh Gary what you just said is is exactly

right and so one of the things that we want to do today is we want to answer the question
