Joel and Lynn Rosenberg dive into a compelling discussion about China’s role in biblical prophecy and the end times. Drawing from Revelation 16, Joel unpacks what it means for China to be a “prototype of the tyrannical Antichrist society” and explores the idea that China could lead the coalition known as the “kings of the East” in the prophetic battle of Armageddon. The conversation covers the signs of the last days, China’s persecution of Christians, and the miraculous growth of Christianity within its borders despite overwhelming oppression. The Rosenbergs also highlight the geopolitical challenges posed by China and encourage listeners to pray for the persecuted church, for America’s leaders, and for wisdom in facing these end-times realities. If you’ve ever wondered how today’s global headlines fit into biblical prophecy—or what the future might hold for China and the world—this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

In this heartfelt conversation, host Joel Rosenberg is joined by Gal Lavie, Director of the Founder’s Office at the Joshua Fund and an IDF reservist, to address a devastating tragedy that has shaken both Israel and the United States: the recent murder of two young Israeli diplomats, Yaron Leshinsky and his soon-to-be fiancée, Sarah Milgram, in Washington, DC. Joel and Gal share personal memories of Yaron—an accomplished, passionate, and peace-driven young man well-respected within Israel's evangelical Christian community.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter! In this episode, Joel Rosenberg is joined by Dr. Tommy Fretwell to unpack a crucial theological question: Has the church replaced Israel in God’s plan, or does God still have a unique purpose for the Jewish people? Together, they explore the roots and impact of supersessionism—also known as replacement theology—and discuss why some in the church believe God’s promises to Israel now belong to the church. From Tommy’s extensive research, they break down the different forms of this theology, its historical consequences, and why a biblical understanding of Israel is so important for believers today. Whether you’re a pastor, Bible student, or just curious about Israel’s place in God’s story, this episode is full of insight, scriptural clarity, and practical encouragement. Let’s dive into this essential conversation about Israel’s ongoing role in God’s redemptive plan.

By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. Prayer: Praying that more and more pastors, ministry leaders, and bible teachers hunger to know the word of God from Genesis through Revelation. Pray that as they study, they have a deeper and deeper passion for knowing the scriptures. Pray that more and more pastors develop a hunger, not just for the New Testament, as wonderful as the New Testament is, but really the biblical promises made, the covenants made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and through their people to the Messianic prophecies. Praying that that hunger for God's word and an understanding, a clearer understanding of God's heart for Israel and the Jewish people Pray that pastors who have sadly embraced supersessionism and replacement theology will begin to realize that they're mistaken. Pray that God would also minister to Jews who've been harmed, who've been hurt, who've been stung by antisemitism, by Christians who or people who claim to be Christians, but many even who are generally saved, but they just don't get Israel.
