Should Christians support Israel?

How can a biblical worldview help us think about the current conflict in Palestine?

And how does Gen Z uniquely view this conflict compared with other generations.

These are some of the questions we're going to explore today

with our guest, Dr. Jeff Myers,

author of the new book,

should Christian support Israel.

I'm Sean McDowell.

I'm your co-host Scott Ray and this is the

Think Bibically podcast from Talbot School Theology Biola University. Jeff it's

great to have you back on a new topic last time we talked about Gen Z now we're going to focus

on kind of how they think about the conflict in Palestine right now, but this book

is framed by a trip that you took recently to Israel after the tragic terrorist attacks by

Hamas on October 7th. Tell us a little about that trip and kind of how it framed your view of the conflict.

Hey Sean, hey Scott, thanks for the opportunity to be on the show today.

My travel to Israel during the time of war to the war zone was framed by a poll that I saw in November after the

October 7th terrorist attacks and I know there's a lot happening in the news

but you'll remember 1,200 Israeli civilians, men, women and

children slaughtered, raped, mutilated 250 hostages taken.

That would be the equivalent of terrorists coming across the border into

Southern California and murdering and raping and mutilating 42,000 people and taking 12,000 hostages,

just for comparison's sake.
