We sat down at the Sea of Galilee with an Israeli special forces commander just hours after he returned from the front lines in Gaza. What followed wasn’t just a conversation - it was a collision of war, faith, and the kingdom of God.
In this powerful and emotional episode, we talk about everything from blowing up terror tunnels and rescuing hostages to the unseen spiritual battle raging behind the headlines.
Our guest, a Jewish believer and elite IDF soldier, shares how he’s been sustained through nearly 600 days of combat, what the Bible says about Gaza, and why the real hope for peace isn’t political - it’s prophetic.
You won’t hear this anywhere else.
Key Takeaways:- Gaza holds ancient, prophetic significance - and the war there today is deeply spiritual.
- Ceasefires often backfire, giving terror groups time to rearm.
- Political deals and military action can’t fix what only the return of the Messiah can.
- True peace comes when hearts are transformed - not just borders.
