The “Secret” That Will Make Your Bible Come Alive
In this powerful episode of Out of Zion, ICEJ USA President Dr. Susan Michael sits down with Bishop Robert Stearns, founder of Eagles’ Wings, to explore the evolution of Christian Zionism across generations. They dive deep into the challenges of declining biblical literacy in the Western church, the fallacy of the “apartheid” narrative, and the emergence of “Jerusalem-centered Christianity.” This conversation is a vital call for believers to reconnect with the Jewish roots of their faith and understand the nature of a God who kept His promises long before the modern era.

Why God Chose Jerusalem (It’s Not What You Think!)
In this week’s Shabbat Shalom devotional, ICEJ USA President Dr. Susan Michael explores the biblical history and spiritual significance of Jerusalem. While King David may have chosen the city for its political and geographical advantages, the Bible reveals that God’s choice was much more profound. Despite being a small city on an average hill far from major trade routes, Jerusalem became a key place in God’s unfolding plan of redemption.

10 REASONS TO STAND WITH ISRAEL
Though Israel enjoys growing support from the Evangelical movement today, this support is little understood—primarily because for centuries, the church struggled to understand the “Jewish question” and even displayed and instigated militant antisemitism against God’s chosen people. Many churches taught that God was finished with the Jews.
This mindset has changed dramatically, yet the question remains: Why do we support Israel today? Susan Michael invites you to explore why all believers in Jesus should support, bless, and stand with God’s chosen people, the Jews, in the free booklet 10 Reasons to Stand with Israel.
STANDING WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM
Anti-Semitism is surging around the world. It is at epidemic levels throughout the Middle East where Jew-hatred is entrenched in everyday life. Europe is at pre-Holocaust levels due to Far-Right parties and an influx of immigrants from Muslim countries. The United States is experiencing a surge on the internet, on college campuses, and in both the Far Right and progressive political movements. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) recorded more incidents of assault, vandalism, and harassment against American Jews in 2019 than in any year since they began tracking such incidents in 1979.
Christians have a moral obligation to withstand hatred and violence directed toward any group, including Jews. But our responsibility goes beyond that. knowing the history—we must practically stand with the Jewish people in their modern battle against this evil. This FREE e-book provides historical context as well as tangible ways to stand with the Jewish people in the fight against Anti-semitism.
