## Resource

Welcome to The Heart of God podcast with your host, Barry Voorhies—where we uncover biblical truths, explore end-times prophecy, and examine God's divine plan unfolding in today's world. In Episode 124: "Is Israel Blooming Or Withering?", we confront a rising wave of controversy shaking conservative circles. Influencers like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and most recently, Joe Kent are increasingly vocal in their criticism of modern Israel—often crossing into what many describe as rabidly anti-Semitic territory. They've been influenced by teachings that claim the Israel we see today—the restored nation in the land—is not the biblical Israel promised in Scripture. But what does God's Word actually say? In this powerful episode, we dive deep into key prophetic passages: Romans 11, where Paul reveals God's unchanging plan for Israel, including the promise that "all Israel will be saved" and the future restoration of the Jewish people. Joel 2, with its vivid imagery of renewal, the outpouring of God's Spirit, and the restoration of His people after judgment. The Book of Revelation points to Israel's central role in end-times events and ultimate redemption. Is the Israel of today blooming as the fulfillment of ancient prophecies—the fig tree putting forth leaves as a sign of the times—or is it withering under divine judgment? We separate biblical truth from modern narratives, exposing the theological errors driving this new wave of anti-Israel sentiment and anti-Semitism. If you're searching for clarity on Israel in Bible prophecy, Romans 11 restoration, end-times Israel, or how current events align with God's heart for His chosen people, this episode is essential listening. Join us as we seek the heart of God on one of the most debated issues of our day. Hit play now and…
