    Verse of the Day: Isaiah chapter 61:1-The spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Going ahead to verse 3, to grant to those who mourn in Zion, to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit, that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that God may be glorified.


    Prayer

    Please pray for the emotions of all the families and also the emotions of the hostages themselves.

    Finding Comfort in God: Exploring Isaiah 40 with Joel Rosenberg and Tommy Fretwell #247

    In this episode of Inside the Epicenter titled "Finding Hope in Isaiah 40", Joel Rosenberg and guest speaker Tommy Fretwell explore the profound spiritual insights and promises in Isaiah 40.

    Joel expresses gratitude and delves into themes of God's kindness, servanthood, and future promises for Israel and the world, emphasizing God's desire to win back His people tenderly. Tommy Fretwell shares a significant meeting between an orthodox Jewish Prime Minister and the Joshua Fund, highlighting the importance of trust, mercy, and aligning with God's prophetic plan during challenging times.

    The discussion of Isaiah 40 covers its historical context, including the fall of the northern kingdom to Assyria and Hezekiah's reign. Tommy explains Isaiah's shift from judgment to comfort and messianic blessings. Tommy explores the concept of "double" in Isaiah, which signifies fulfillment and exactness, and relates this to the promise of joy and restoration.

    Tommy examines verses 3-5, which call for preparing a way for the Lord, tying it to John the Baptist's role and future global recognition of the Messiah. Verses 6-8 emphasize the transience of human life compared to the enduring nature of God's word, offering lasting hope and comfort.

    Tommy discusses the dual nature of prophecies, the first and second comings of the Messiah, and reads Isaiah 40:1-2, highlighting themes of comfort and peace for Jerusalem. He ties Isaiah 53 into the discussion, presenting the servant's role in fulfilling promises of comfort and forgiveness.

    The episode concludes with a reminder of God's enduring word as the foundation of faith, its living and transformative power, and the unbreakable promise connecting Salvation to Israel's prophecies. It ends with a call to focus on these eternal truths.

     

    04:49 Prayed Psalm 119:18 for guidance and awe.

    07:47 Hezekiah's actions led to Babylonian prophecy fulfillment.

    11:56 God allures, comforts, and loves to restore people.

    16:04 Double judgment reflects Israel's firstborn status.

    19:15 John prepared for Jesus; full prophecy awaits.

    24:39 Trust God's Word; trials are temporary.

    25:27 The foundation of faith: the word of God.

    30:00 Salvation's security ensures Israel's promises endure.

    33:36 Exploration of scripture, feedback, and connection encouraged.

    I was a hostage and my husband is still in Gaza #245

    We speak with Aviva Siegel, an Israeli who was kidnapped from her home in Kfar Azza on October 7th, along with her husband Keith, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen. They were taken hostage into the tunnels under Gaza, and Aviva was released during the temporary ceasefire deal in November 2023. However, over a year later, Keith remains a hostage in Gaza. In this emotional and haunting conversation, Aviva shares her chilling story of survival, recounting her experiences, fears, and determination to keep the memory of the hostages alive. Her story highlights the human cost of conflict and the importance of advocating for those held against their will. Join us as we hear Aviva's powerful and poignant account and learn how you can make a difference in bringing Keith and the other hostages home.

    Verse of the Day

    Isaiah 61:1 - The spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and freedom to prisoners to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.


    Prayer

    Pray for comfort for the families and the hostages that have been released, but also courage for every family member, friend, and nation that has people that they love who are still being held captive. 
    Pray asking the Lord that these captives be set free.
