“There is Neither Jew nor Greek” from Galatians 3:28: Because the apostle Paul wrote, “There is neither Jew nor Greek” in Galatians 3:28, many people claim that Scripture ultimately renders Jewish identity obsolete today. But how can this be true when Paul immediately makes the same claim about men and women, whose distinct identities clearly still exist? We conclude our ... Read More The post Not So Fast!

“The Israel of God” from Galatians 6:16: Reading the Bible in its context is crucial. When verses are cherry-picked and stripped of their context, the true meaning of God’s Word becomes lost. One of the most prominent examples of this issue in Scripture is the errant belief that the church has replaced Israel in God’s plans, promises, and affections. Many ...

The Cities of Refuge (Part 1 of 2): In the ancient world, killing a person, even accidentally, was liable to bring the rage of an “avenger of blood.” This person, a relative or loved one of the dead, could take vengeance by killing the one who caused the death. And so, a cycle of bloodshed would begin. But in giving ... Read More The post The Cities of Refuge (Part 1 of 2) | August 15, 2026 appeared first on The Friends of Israel Today Radio.

The Year of Jubilee (Part 2 of 2): Last week we learned about the year of Jubilee, which God instructed the Israelites to remember in Leviticus 25.

Was Jesus a Zionist? (Part 2 of 2): Last week we studied examples from Jesus’ life that demonstrate that He was undeniably a Zionist who understood the inextricable link between the Jewish people and the land of Israel.
