Ep: 20 The last of the 20 Israeli hostages being held by Hamas have finally been released and we praise God for it. But now the question must be asked: What's next? What becomes of Hamas? What becomes of the Arab nations' grand plans to transform Gaza -- and the entire region, for that matter -- into a tourist mecca?
And what of nations such as Turkey and Qatar being part of President Trump's 20-point peace plan? Do they really seek peace in the region, particularly Israel's peace, or is there more brewing beneath the surface in their involvement? And can Hamas truly be counted on to cooperate?
And finally, what of this historic peace agreement? Is it THE one the Bible speaks of in the Book of Daniel, the one that will usher us into the final 7 years?
Join Zion's Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they dig into these crucial issues and try to make sense of the incredible series of events that have been occurring in the Middle East over the past few months.

In this powerful episode, Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Digital Media Manager Christopher Diaz reflect on their three visits to Israel within the past 10 months—a nation enduring war, resilience, and remarkable faith.
Join them as they share personal stories and on-the-ground insights, including:
• The heartfelt gratitude of Israelis welcoming visitors during wartime.
• How the spirit and demeanor of the people have changed amid ongoing conflict.
• The reality of running to bomb shelters and witnessing missiles intercepted overhead.
• The surreal experience of standing at the site of the October 7, 2023, massacre.
• Moments of sharing the Gospel and encouragement with Israelis in need of hope.
• Updates on what’s happening in Gaza today.
• And above all, the unmistakable sovereignty of God at work throughout the Middle East.
🎧 Tune in for a candid, faith-filled conversation that blends eyewitness testimony, biblical perspective, and hope for Israel’s future.
The Middle East is filled with moving parts. Israel is still battling Hamas throughout Gaza. The water crisis which is crippling Iran is also spreading to Iraq and Syria. Potential new global trade routes are stoking the flaming anger of Russia, Turkey, and China. And what about the lesser-known playing pieces Armenia and Azerbaijan? What place on the chess board to the play?
If indeed the Middle East is a chess board filled with prophetic implications, just how does each move these nations make draw the world ever closer to the events predicted so long ago in the biblical books of Ezekiel and Revelation?
Join Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they examine what is happening in the Middle East at this moment and finding possible connections to prophetic fulfillment.
Can a land long known for war and chaos be transformed into a thriving paradise of peace and prosperity?
In this episode, we explore the bold and ambitious vision known as The G.R.E.A.T. Trust — a multinational proposal backed by moderate Arab nations, Israel, the United States, and global corporations. The goal? To turn Gaza into a glittering Mediterranean hub of trade, high-tech innovation, and international tourism — a “mini-UAE” rising from the rubble.
But is such a transformation even possible?
We dive into:
Who’s funding and leading this initiative?
Why Gaza — and why now?
Can Palestinians truly embrace peace and partnership with Israel?
How does this align with what the Bible reveals about the future of this region?
The G.R.E.A.T. Trust may promise economic revival, but the spiritual battle for Gaza — and the land of Israel — remains at the heart of the matter.
🎙️ Join David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they unpack the geopolitical, spiritual, and prophetic implications of this high-stakes vision for Gaza’s future.
Watch now and discover why this proposal may be far more than just another peace plan.
In Part 2 of Has the Church Replaced Israel?, we confront one of the core arguments of Replacement Theology: that because Jews and Gentiles are now “one in Christ,” all distinctions between them have been erased — and Israel no longer has a role in God’s redemptive plan.
But is that truly what Scripture teaches?
Join Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal, Bible teacher Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz as they explore the Apostle Paul’s writings — particularly Romans 2 — and reveal how many advocates of Supersessionism are cherry-picking verses to fit a theological agenda.
📖 Topics Covered in This Episode:
Are Paul’s words in Romans 2 about spiritual identity or a cancellation of Israel’s role?
Is Judaism annulled in the New Covenant?
What about the Millennial Kingdom and God’s promises to a restored Israel?
What does it mean to be grafted in?
This episode offers a clear, biblical refutation of the belief that the Church has replaced Israel — and highlights God’s faithful covenant with His people.
Don’t miss this important discussion on God’s unchanging plan for both Israel and the Church.

It goes by many names — Supersessionism, Fulfillment Theology, and most commonly, Replacement Theology. At its core, this controversial doctrine teaches that the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan for the world.

In this important episode, Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal, Bible teacher Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz tackle this widely held belief head-on, exposing the serious theological and prophetic consequences of Replacement Theology.
📖 Key Questions We Explore:
Has Israel been permanently cast aside?
Are the promises made to Israel now fulfilled only in the Church?
What does Scripture say about God’s covenant with His chosen people?
Discover how this doctrine distorts the character of God, undermines His faithfulness, and fuels dangerous attitudes toward the Jewish people — and why it must be biblically corrected.
If you’ve ever wrestled with understanding Israel’s role in God’s redemptive plan, this conversation will equip and encourage you.

In this thought-provoking continuation, Zion’s Hope team member Josh, based in Israel, returns to our U.S. headquarters to share a deeply personal and powerful account of what life is like for Israelis caught in the storm of war, fear, and rising global hostility.
🎙️ In Part 2 of this riveting conversation, Josh sheds light on the Israeli mindset:
Why are Israelis the target of such intense global contempt?
What is the source of this growing hatred?
And how are hearts beginning to open to the truth of the Messiah?
Josh reveals that many in Israel are becoming increasingly open — not to a first-time-coming Messiah, but to the One who already came 2,000 years ago and died for their sins. In the midst of the conflict, hope is rising.
He also calls for reconciliation, encouraging Israelis to reach out to their Arab neighbors in love — a powerful testimony of healing and peace in a divided land.
Joined by Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz, this episode explores:
- Life on the ground in Israel
- End-times prophecy and Israel’s role
- The unstoppable mission of the Gospel — even in the midst of chaos

Events in the Middle East are changing every day, but one thing that isn’t changing is the accusation of Israel committing genocide in Gaza. Such accusations are outrageous in light of the Jewish nation’s heroic humanitarian efforts to bring food to those suffering most in Gaza. In the meantime, what’s hardly being talked about in the Middle East is the severe water shortages plaguing Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Water sources throughout the region are drying up, including the Euphrates. Besides the very real damage drought can do these nations, there is also a prophetic perspective which must be considered. Revelation 16:12 reads: “Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.” Could we be seeing the beginning fulfillment of this prophecy?
Join Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they delve into the continuously evolving circumstances in the Middle East.
Western and Arab nations have at least one thing in common: the desire – and absolute need – for a stable Middle East. This is the primary motivating factor in pushing for an immediate establishment of a Palestinian State. Until this key issue is resolved, lofty economic aspirations for the region cannot be achieved. Yet, the sad truth remains that it is Israel who is feeling the most pressure, will have to make all the concessions, and continues to be vilified as the genocidal aggressor who is starving Gazan children and oppressing the Palestinian people. At the same time, the Jewish state is a crucial player – along with Saudi Arabia – in creating a pathway to peace in the region.
Join David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they piece together the complex and jagged jigsaw puzzle that is the Middle East.
The United Arab Emirates – UAE – has been implementing A.I.-based surveillance in eye-opening, mind-boggling ways. Combined with the innovative inroads China has made into this area, what is being created is a nameless, faceless entity deciding the moral code of Planet Earth. Simply stated, just about all of us are being watched as the desire for safety and security has resulted in the near-disintegration of privacy. We must now ask: Where is this all heading as we rocket toward the end of the age? Join David Rosenthal, Christopher Diaz and special guest David Hunt as they discuss the implications of A.I.-based digital surveillance.
The United Arab Emirates has emerged as a shining example of prosperity in the Middle East—and Saudi Arabia is taking notes. With its eyes set on economic transformation, Saudi Arabia may soon take a pivotal step that could reshape the region. For Israel, these developments are not just good—they’re game-changing.
As the Abraham Accords continue to gain strength, a new player is rising on the global stage: IMEC—the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor. Positioned as a powerful alternative to China’s Belt and Road Initiative, IMEC has the potential to reroute the flow of international commerce. But one critical piece remains missing: a formal normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Join David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they unpack the high-stakes competition for control of global trade, explore the geopolitical implications for the Middle East, and reveal why this moment matters prophetically as well as politically.
China is looking to become the world’s dominant global trade player, and this is not sitting well with a number of nations – Israel and Saudi Arabia among them. One way to combat China’s rising commerce influence is the expansion of the Abraham Accords – the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and a number of Arab nations. Another point of attack is the role of IMEC – a game-changing trade corridor which can well reshape the economic status of the Middle East.
Join David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they discuss proposed future and economic trade initiatives which could serve as precursors for the extraordinary End Time events the Book of Revelation speaks of.
Ep. 7: Israel, Iran and the 12-Day War
Israel’s operation on Iran’s nuclear facilities has been a stunning military success—but what happens next?
As the dust settles, deeper questions emerge:
- How will Iran re-group, driven by Shia Islamic theology that demands Israel’s destruction?
- Why are nations like Saudi Arabia backing Israel—and what does this mean for the region?
- Could this spark a new chapter in the Abraham Accords?
- And is Turkey poised to seize this moment for its own ambitions?
Join David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they unpack the prophetic and geopolitical stakes in this gripping episode.
Ep. 6: Israel, Iran and Operation Rising Lion
After decades of growing Iranian aggression, Israel has responded with a powerful counterstrike—Operation Rising Lion. While headlines frame it as a political or military conflict, the deeper reality is far more spiritual. At the heart of Iran’s relentless hostility lies Islamic eschatology—an apocalyptic belief system that demands the annihilation of Israel.
In this timely and eye-opening episode, David Rosenthal, Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz break down the prophetic implications behind the headlines and expose the religious motivations driving Iran’s strategy.
Join us as we unpack the truth behind Israel, Iran, and Operation Rising Lion.
Ep. 5 The Seed Through Abraham and Isaac
From the Garden to the covenant with Abraham, the promise of the coming Seed unfolds. In this episode, we trace how God’s redemptive plan narrows through Abraham and Isaac. Why was Isaac — not Ishmael — chosen? And how does the offering of Isaac foreshadow the Messiah? Join us as we uncover the faithfulness of God through the generations and see how His promise points forward to Yeshua.

Ep. 4: Gulf States Agreements
President Trump has been hard at work forging multi-billion dollar investment agreements with several Gulf State nations. What affect will these agreements have on U.S.-Islamic relations and U.S.-Israel relations? And do these financial pacts align with biblical prophecy? Christians need to be reading their Bibles closely and exercising biblical discernment.
Ep 3: The Covenant and the Land
Get ready to dive deep into one of the most powerful promises in Scripture! In this episode of Zion’s Wire, we uncover the Abrahamic Covenant and the Land Promise—God’s unbreakable commitment to Abraham and his descendants. Why does the Land matter? What does it reveal about God’s plan for Israel and the nations? Join us for a conversation that will ignite your faith and sharpen your understanding of God’s unchanging Word!
Ep 2: The Seed – The First Prophecy of Redemption
In a world fractured by sin, God spoke hope into the darkness. Genesis 3:15 reveals more than judgment—it unveils the first promise of the Messiah, a Redeemer who would crush the serpent’s head.
In this powerful episode of Zion’s Wire, we trace the Seed from Eden to the Cross—and beyond. Discover how the first Gospel was hidden in plain sight and what it means for you today.
A raw and insightful conversation filled with Scripture, hope, and the unstoppable plan of redemption.
