The Friends of Israel Today
The Friends of Israel Today is a magazine style radio program/podcast made up multiple segments; bible teaching, Q&A, interviews, and dramatic readings of Holocaust survivor, Zvi Kalisher’s articles, entitled Apples of Gold. We’ve intentionally crafted this program to revolve around God’s Word and how it affects our lives today.

It’s become increasingly popular to hate Israel and the Jewish people. That’s why it’s so important that Bible-believing Christians stand boldly for them! As we continue our series on Christians combating antisemitism, we take a look at the watchmen of Isaiah 62, whom God trusted as spiritual guardians of Israel. Today, God continues to call watchmen to protect and defend ...

Jewish people around the world are targeted for persecution. Will you come to their defense? This responsibility has always been at the heart of The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, and we rejoice when we see other Christians around the world taking it on too. Chris begins a three-part series on believers’ mandate to combat antisemitism and defend God’s Chosen ...
The joyous, biblical celebration of Sukkot is upon us! Also called the Feast of Tabernacles, this holiday draws attention to God’s provision, protection, and presence in our lives. As God commanded in Leviticus 23, the Jewish people today continue to make “booths,” or temporary shelters, called sukkahs to remember how the Israelites lived during their wandering in the wilderness thousands ...

Days of great suffering are coming for Israel. Scripture teaches that the Jewish people will endure persecution in the Tribulation. But their trials have a purpose—God will use this time to purge and refine the nation, drawing the people to repentance. Bruce Scott, The Friends of Israel’s (FOI’s) director of Ministry Mobilization, shares the Bible’s teaching on this pivotal prophetic ...

When Jesus spoke of caring for “the least of these” in Matthew 25, to whom was He referring? Many believe He spoke of the poor and needy. While we certainly should be helping such people, as God commands, the context of Jesus’ words help us determine that He spoke of another group of people. In the conclusion of our two-part ...

Jesus’ words in Matthew 25 concerning “the least of these” have driven many ministries seeking to help the poor and needy. Their work is a wonderful display of love for the Lord. But is it possible that this worthy drive for humanitarianism has caused some to miss the target of Jesus’ message? We’re exploring this question thoroughly over the next ...

Recent years have not been kind to the Jewish community of Eastern Europe. And in Poland in particular, a country inextricably bound to the atrocities of the Holocaust, Jewish people need true friends who will love them and support them unfailingly. That’s where Timothy Rabinek steps in. Timothy, FOI’s field representative in Poland, has devoted his life to the Jewish ...

Because its people chased after other gods, Israel became an unfaithful bride to God. But instead of settling for a broken relationship, in His mercy God promised a New Covenant, ultimately fulfilled by Jesus. Now all people have access to a personal relationship with Him! As we wrap up our three-part series on the New Covenant this week, we discuss ...

Jesus came to Earth to radically change the hearts of the Israelites and to bring forgiveness for the sins of the world.

Surrender! That was the prophet Jeremiah’s message to the people of Judah. God was going to use Babylon to judge His people, and the Israelites’ disobedience meant nothing could stop the disaster to come. But in one of their darkest moments, God made a new promise to His people. This week we’ll begin our series analyzing this New Covenant that ...

At the center of all the mayhem surrounding Israel and the Middle East is one powerful, villainous nation: Iran. Every group Israel has been battling—Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis—all take their orders from Iran. But it wasn’t always this way. The nation once aimed to Westernize to usher in a prosperous era, but the Islamic Revolution dashed those hopes, sending Iran ...

The apostle Paul is one of the Bible’s most beloved figures. He was responsible for the growth of the early church throughout the known world and penned much of the New Testament Scripture we cherish today. But before Jesus saved his soul from sin, he was an entirely different man—one who persecuted and killed Christians. This week, Steve Herzig, The ...
Candace Owens. Zohran Mamdani. Greta Thunberg. Jackson Hinkle. All of these popular figures use their platform for a sinister purpose: Spreading hatred and lies about Jewish people. After studying how literature rapidly propagated antisemitism in the 20th century, this week we conclude our 2-part series on the evolution of antisemitic messaging by identifying the prominent figures who spread Jewish hatred ...
What do Adolf Hitler and famed American industrialist Henry Ford have in common? Sadly, they both hated the Jewish people—and they both spread antisemitism throughout the world. The antisemitism that is so prevalent today, especially online, can be traced back to a pamphlet called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which propagated the foolish and easily debunked theory that ...

Little did The Friends of Israel’s (FOI’s) ORIGINS team members know when they touched down in Israel that, within hours, they would be planted in a warzone. In June, our team of young adults unexpectedly endured Iran’s nightly waves of rocket attacks on Israel, and they did it with confidence in the Lord, relying on His protection as they ministered ...
Why were the priests such an important part of ancient Israel? This week, in part 2 of our series on the priests, we see how necessary they were in separating the clean from the unclean, as God explained in the Law to the Israelites. Did “unclean” indicate sin? Not always. Uncleanness was simply a part of being human in a ...

While leading His people out of Egypt to the Promised Land, God distinguished between what was common and what was holy. It was the only way He, being perfectly holy, could dwell among His people. This week, we begin a 2-part series on God’s requirements of Israel’s priests and His Chosen People, which shape our understanding of holiness, responsibility, and ...
On Friday, June 13, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran’s military and nuclear programs, as the Islamic Republic reportedly almost enriched its uranium to the point of building a nuclear bomb. Israel targeted strategic military locations and leaders, weakening Iran’s ability to retaliate at maximum strength. Still, Iran responded by launching many waves of ballistic missiles into densely populated ...
Christians who study God’s Word can easily see how much God loves Israel and the Jewish people—it’s all over Scripture! Yet, so many churches sit on the fence and struggle to endorse Zionism—the Jewish people’s right to their own state in their ancestral homeland. What’s the reason for churches’ lukewarm approach to God’s Chosen People? The Friends of Israel President ...

Malachi’s prophecies unmistakably drive home the truth that Israel’s halfhearted sacrifices were not pleasing to God because the people were far from His heart. But in chapter 4, the prophet turned the attention from Israel’s spiritual complacency to its future filled with divine promise, the opening to God’s great blessing and restoration. The finale of our 4-part series on Malachi ...
