The Week in Bible Prophecy, a Prophecy Watchers podcast.

Hello, I'm Gary Stearman of Prophecy Watchers, and I have a very special guest today.

You're going to get to know him, and believe me, he is interesting.

He's from Israel.

His name is Avi Lipkin. Perhaps you've seen him with us before. Avi, welcome back.

Better than being invited is to be invited back. I always love talking with you because you are so, to use a word, convivial. Easy to talk to and loaded with information. And since you're from Israel,

what I thought we would do today is talk about what is really happening in Israel. Maybe the things that we don't see in the news. And we all pray for Israel, like on a 24-hour basis, and faithful Christians

want to see Israel not only survive, but thrive.

There is a quote in the Bible. I don't remember exactly from where, but everyone in Israel

knows it, and everyone in Israel uses it, it's Netzach Israel

no you shakir. The victory of Israel will never fail us. And I know we had a Holocaust

and we've had lots of failures in 2000 years and more. But at the end of the day, Israel comes out stronger every time.

And that's because God is not a liar.

God says, I will stand with Israel.

They will be my people.

But the question is, will I be their God?

And so we do our best, but the point is we are now talking during the summer of 2025,

and our population has surpassed 10 million.

I moved to Israel in 1968, We were 3 million Jewish people. There was always

20% of our population was Arab, 20%. Today also it's 20%. So the population is 10 million, 20% are

Muslims. 8 million of our people are Jewish with quite a few hundreds of thousands of believers,

or shall I say people not recognized by the rabbinid as Jews.
