Summary

Following the successful mission to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, I opened our service this morning at First Baptist Dallas by addressing the momentous events that have captured the world’s attention. I reminded our congregation of a truth we must never forget—God stands with Israel, and so must we. Israel is not just another nation. It is the only nation created by God with a divine promise of endurance. When the world questions Israel’s right to exist or possess its land, the Bible answers unequivocally. That land was given to God’s people, and to strike Israel is to strike the apple of God’s eye. This week, as President Trump faced immense pressure from all sides, I sent him a personal message of encouragement and reminded him that millions of Christians were praying fervently for him. I told him, “Because we know you and who you are, we're going to trust and support whatever decision you end up making.” And he made the right one. Following those remarks, I invited our church to kneel together in prayer, and our Senior Executive Pastor, Dr. Ben Lovvorn, led us in a powerful time of intercession. We specifically prayed for: President Trump and his protection Our brave military The nation of Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu God's continued blessing and protection over the United States But this crisis is not just political or military. It is spiritual. More Information Here: https://ptv.org/israel/

0:00.0	Before we have our offatory prayer and the remainder of the service, I wanted to take just a few

0:18.5	There's been a lot of debate in our country, especially the last few months,
0:23.5	about whether America should support Israel, and to what extent should we support Israel?
0:29.7	You may have seen the clip that went viral of the debate between Tucker Carlson and Senator Ted Cruz.
0:38.1	And Tucker was ridicul Senator Ted Cruz. And Tucker was ridiculing Ted Cruz for saying that as Christians we were mandated to support
0:46.0	Israel.
0:47.0	Tucker said, where is that in the Bible?
0:49.2	And what does it mean to support Israel?
0:51.3	Does it mean we support the government of Israel?
0:53.8	What does that mean? Well, Tucker,
0:55.9	let me help you out. Here's what it means to be supportive of Israel. To support Israel,
1:02.7	first of all, means to support Israel's right to exist. The nation of Iran does not believe
1:09.6	Israel has the right to exist.
1:12.6	Iran has its stated objective to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.
1:17.6	And there are other countries that believe that as well.
1:20.6	But in doing so, they are going against God himself.
1:25.6	Unlike any other nation in the world, God created the nation of Israel.
1:31.4	Israel was his idea, and he said Israel will endure forever.
1:36.6	No other nation, including the United States, has that promise, but Israel has that promise.
