Recent reports from inside Iran indicate the country is already in shambles. But will the hardliners in Tehran succumb to this new tactic?

Is Christian Zionism a recent invention? Far from it. Can Christianity, Judaism and Islam truly be described as three branches of the same Abrahamic faith? In this thought-provoking teaching, Dr. Andrew J. Nolte challenges a familiar assumption by examining how the Bible and Qur’an portray Abraham, God and humanity. He explores profound differences in theology, society and attitudes towards religious minorities, including antisemitism. Learn why Dr. Nolte argues that Jews and Christians share a distinctive biblical foundation that Islam does not, and how he explains why recognising these differences matters for Christian engagement with Islam, Judaism and Zionism today.

Is Christian Zionism a recent invention? Far from it. In this fascinating session from the Jerusalem Summit, Anglican canon Dr. Jules Gomes traces its roots through influential Anglican leaders even before the 1800s, revealing how a literal reading of Scripture transformed both theology and history. Discover how a Bible-based Zionism once became the prevailing view within the Anglican Church, helping to forge the Balfour Declaration, challenge Replacement Theology, and inspire generations of Christians to stand with the Jewish people to this day. Even so, the Anglican Church itself has increasingly turned its back on Israel, with dire consequences. A compelling historical journey with profound implications for the Church today.

What does the book of Esther teach about justice, self-defense and the fight for Israel today?

For nearly three years now, Israel has been defending itself against Iran and its proxy terror militias, while Jews today are facing a worldwide onslaught of antisemitism. Many are carelessly accusing Israel of genocide and other grave crimes, and even Christians are denying once again that Israel still matters to God. Are they right? Have the Jewish people lost their special covenant relationship with God? Or does their divine election remain to this day? That’s our topic for this week’s ICEJ Weekly Webinar: Is Israel Still a Chosen Nation? The answer is more important than most realize.

Christian Zionism is no longer a predominantly Western movement. In this week’s informative webinar, we explore the encouraging changes and challenges.

The ICEJ Weekly Webinar presents an excerpt from ICEJ President Dr. Jürgen Bühler’s keynote address at the Jerusalem Summit, introducing the Jerusalem Affirmation of the Nicene Faith. In this presentation, Dr. Bühler explains how the Nicene Creed affirmed Christ’s divinity, but failing to reflect the Jewish identity of Yeshua and the continuing significance of the Jewish people in God’s redemptive plan. The Jerusalem Affirmation seeks to complement the historic Creed by reaffirming the Church’s commitment to the Jewish people, rejecting antisemitism and encouraging a more biblical understanding of the relationship between the Church, Israel and the Jewish people. We invite you to listen to this timely presentation and support the Jerusalem Affirmation of the Nicene Faith by signing and sharing it at: https://jerusalemsummit.icej.org/affirmation-sign

On this week’s ICEJ Webinar, we bring you more informative and inspiring highlights from our recent Jerusalem Summit emergency gathering on antisemitism, Replacement theology, and Church history back to the Council of Nicaea. Today, Dr. Samuel Tedder challenges the general perception that, based on the teachings of the Apostle Paul, Judaism is seen as a religion of legalism, and Christianity a religion of grace. In recent decades, many Christian theologians have changed their views on Paul, seeing him foremost as a Jewish theologian. Tedder explains this shift and notes the inseparable link between Judaism and Christianity, based around participation in God's covenant family. Does this match your understanding of the two faiths? Or are they totally separate? And did Paul teach that the Church replaced Israel in God’s redemptive plan? “An Introduction on the New Perspective of Paul.” That’s our topic this week on the ICEJ Webinar, featuring Dr. Samuel Tedder, a Finnish biblical scholar, pastor and missionary who holds a Doctoral degree in New Testament Studies from Durham University. Please enjoy this encouraging, informative, and timely message.

The United States is about to celebrate 250 years since its founding in 1776. But the 4th of July celebrations are being dampened by the unresolved war against Iran, and by an unprecedented wave of antisemitism on American soil. This gives us good reason to ask once more about the purpose and destiny of America. Does the US have a prophetic calling from on High? Can America be found in Bible Prophecy? And was it founded as a Christian Nation? On this week’s ICEJ webinar, we look at The Prophetic Calling and Destiny of America. ICEJ Senior Vice President & Spokesman David Parsons offers his take on this very important topic at this landmark moment in American and world history.
