Keeping It Israel

In this riveting discussion, Jeff talks to David Blease, Director of the Center for Israel at Gateway Church in Texas. They explore how Christianity, although entirely a Jewish sect in the First Century, became a separate religion that has largely lost its connection to Judaism. David Blease is an American pastor, Christian influencer, and podcast host. He is the Teaching Pastor at “Gateway Center for Israel” and a host for the “Covenant & Conflict” podcast series. David graduated from The King’s University in 2016 with a degree in Christian Studies. In 2012, David attended the Gateway Conference, where he learned the Jewish context of scripture which significantly reshaped his understanding of the Bible. This newfound understanding helped deepen David’s relationship with God, his passion for Israel, and his love for the Jewish people. He now dedicates much of his time to teaching the Church how to develop and foster a sincere love for Israel and the Jewish people. David Blease and his wife (Mikayla Blease) have three children and live in Dallas/Fort Worth.

In this riveting and timely conversation, Ben Poser discusses the integral role of Jihad in Islam. He explores the historical role of Muhammad in shaping Islamic teachings and the implications of jihad on global conflicts and violence today, particularly in relation to the October 7th attacks. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for understanding how Jihad is impacting our world today. Israel's war against jihadists who are claiming the Holy Land "from the river to the sea" is also our war against Islam's intent to conquer the world - especially territories once under Muslim domination. Main Take-Aways: - Ben Poser grew up in Boston with a strong interest in history. - The White Rose Magazine is inspired by Sophie and Hans Scholl's anti-Nazi movement. - Jihad is defined as struggle, with various interpretations in Islam. - Understanding the Quran requires context from Muhammad's biography. - Islam's success is linked to the concept of jihad. The October 7th attacks are seen as part of a larger global issue related to Jihad and Islam. - The Jewish community is often targeted in Islamic teachings. - The conversation highlights the threat of jihad to global peace. - Support for Israel is framed as a defense of broader human rights of all of civilization. - The discussion calls for awareness of the implications of jihad on various communities. 00:00 Introduction and Background of Ben Poser 07:06 The Legacy of Sophie and Hans Scholl 15:27 Understanding Jihad and Its Historical Context 30:34 The Historical Context of Islam's Political Power 32:36 The Rise of Jihad and Its Implications 35:30 Understanding Jihad: Types and Interpretations 41:12 The Nature of Violence in Jihad 43:14 Comparative Perspectives on Faith and Violence 53:15 The Global Impact of Jihad and the Role of Israel Support the show If you enjoy our podcast, please consider supporting the show HERE so that our Bible-based message about Israel can continue.

In this episode of our FAQ Series, Jeff talks to Ze'ev Orenstein about the discovery of an ancient coin found just south of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, just before Tisha B'Av (the 9th day of the Hebrew month of Av) 2025. The coin reads, "For the Redemption of Zion" and is evidence of a very ancient longing for Jews to be sovereign over Jerusalem as God promised. Little did those ancient Jews know that their longings would be fulfilled roughly 2000 years later. The concept of Zionism is an ancient and biblical concept, and idea that Jesus supported as a Jew who obeyed and followed the Hebrew Bible. Ze’ev Orenstein is the Director of International Affairs for the City of David Foundation. To that end, he is responsible for strengthening awareness of and support for the archeological site among those shaping public policy and opinion. As such, he has delivered briefings in the White House, the State Department and on Capitol Hill, as well as led in-person tours of the City of David for countless diplomats, dignitaries, faith leaders, journalists, and members of Congress.

Jeff Futers (Executive Director of First Century Foundations) talks to Joshua and Caleb Colson (AKA, the Bearded Bible Brothers) discussing some important questions about Israel such as: What is Zionism and is it Biblical? Was Jesus a Zionist? Is Jesus still a Zionist? Should Christians be Zionists? Is a Palestinian State the answer to the conflict? What does October 7th have in common to other attacks going on around the world? Who can truly claim to be indigenous to the Land of Israel? And much more. For over 5 years Joshua and Caleb graced social media as the “Bearded Bible Brothers”, teaching the relevance of scripture and the gospel of Yeshua to modern audiences.

In this exciting conversation, Jeff talks to Omri Toppol of Temple Mount Soil (https://www.templemountsoil.com) a business developed to raise funds for the Temple Mount Sifting Project in Jerusalem and to get the precious soil that was carelessly removed from the Temple Mount into the hands of those who really care about it. When Muslim authorities of the Temple Mount permitted 250 Truck loads - over 5000 tons - of soil to be removed from the Temple Mount and dumped in the Kidron Valley without any proper archaeological excavation, the Temple Mount Sifting Project began. Since then, Archaeologists and volunteers have been carefully sifting through the discarded soil and have discovered 600,000 precious artifacts, many of which are directly linked to biblical and Jewish history on the Temple Mount. Although the soil from the Temple Mount is considered "garbage" to Muslim authorities on the Temple Mount, it is precious to those who revere and respect Jewish and biblical history on that sacred Mount - the holiest place in Judaism and a site that has special value to Jesus and to Christians everywhere. In order to raise funds to continue the excavation process, Omri has founded TMS which collects certified soil from the Temple Mount that was discarded, and markets it to those who treasure biblical history.

In this episode of "Keeping it Israel" (First Century Foundations' Podcast) Jeff talks to Bob O’Dell, a high-tech entrepreneur and a returning guest (and friend!). Through this insightful conversation, Bob explains why Christians SHOULD be using ArtificiaI Intelligence right now as much as possible, in order to shape the future of AI. He explains that the prophet Daniel foretold the development of AI in a very specific way that is being fulfilled right now. Interestingly, this prophecy began being fulfilled rapidly since Israel conquered Jerusalem in 1967. Bob is passionate about encouraging Christians to use AI because it is shaping the future of not only Israel's physical war, but also the virtual propaganda war that is shaping world opinion right now. According to Bob, AI has powerful potential to spread Truth about the Israeli conflict, but only if it is utilized by Christians and Truth-Tellers, especially those who uphold biblical values. Bob is co-founder of Root Source and organization that exists to enable, encourage, and enrich relationships between pro-Israel Christians and Jews on a basis of mutual respect and love.
