In this episode of Israel Unveiled, Sandy Wezowicz tells the remarkable story of Reverend William Hechler, a British chaplain and devoted Christian Zionist, and Theodor Herzl, the visionary Jewish leader often called the father of modern Zionism. When Hechler read Herzl’s The Jewish State, he recognized the prophetic significance of the time and sought him out — a meeting that would spark one of the most consequential friendships in modern history. Through Hechler’s faith, connections, and influence, doors were opened that helped bring legitimacy to the Zionist movement and lay the foundation for the modern State of Israel. Discover how God used a Christian Gentile and a Jewish visionary to advance His covenant purposes — proving once again that divine destiny often moves through unexpected relationships.
