Understanding the Times

Jan hosts as she and her team, Chris Heeb and Larry Kutzler, report on a recent "Hope for the Holy Land" pro-peace rally at Bethel University in St. Paul. Does being pro-Palestinian really translate into being pro-peace? If one is “pro Palestine” in the sense of embracing the diabolical “land for peace” initiative, or even the “two-state solution,” one cannot in any real sense be pro Israel. Was this a genuine pro-peace effort or just a deception to bring naive students into the anti-Israel fold? Participants included Lynn Hybels, Sami Awad, and a rep from World Vision, long known for their Replacement Theology position. No Jewish history was cited, no Scripture was quoted, and no pro-Israel position was allowed into the forum. The president of Bethel University closed with his pro-Palestinian position while seemingly denouncing the "traditional" pro-Israel position he grew up with. If this is the trend among younger evangelicals, the biblically-prophesied abandonment of Israel is hastening. Chris Heeb heads "Good News for Israel." Learn more at www.gnfi.org
