Israel- Why is the Middle East Important? Neil Johnson and Jeff Pelletier
Hello! Got time for Coffee? Are you a Christian? Do You follow Jesus? Do know about your Jewish Roots? Join the conversation as we discuss Israel, Yeshua, (Jesus) and learn about the reconciliation of the Old and New Testament! Neil and I have these conversations in our favorite coffee shop. So what we’ve done is simulate the atmosphere we are so comfortable in, with the use of an audio track from an actual coffee shop! This conversation is exactly like all of our conversations about Israel and the Middle East and now you can experience them just as we do when we have coffee together. Our goal is to help you to see that God’s plan for the world IS ALL ONE BIG PLAN. We take you through the FIRST Testament into the Second Testament and carefully UNFOLD the PLAN of God for you, and the world. There is no better way to understand your Christian faith then to v...
Episodes
Friends in this episode Neil and I "just talk" about what is on our minds. We begin with a rap-up of our previous episode on Neil's trip to China. And we also discuss how God reads the Bible.
In this episode Neil and I discuss his recent trip to Chine. This was Neil's second trip there. He went perviously to investigate the JEWISH population and he FOUND IT! He went back at the invitation of an old friend as they wanted to know more about what is happening with Israel. A really great show with some profound insights into China and Israel.
In this episode, Neil and I take you through the present day in Israel and how things are unraveling or unfolding, and we also discuss the power of the promises that God made, and to whom he made them. And we linked that all with how the church of Jesus Christ is involved in that process, and who the church really is.
In this episode of Israel, why is the Middle East important Neil and I close the loop around a verse in Isaiah that deals with time. Then we move on to the shared promises of God and how God's promises to Israel become the churches promises as well. If you think the church is Israel, you should pay really close attention to this episode.
Building on the last episode's claims about Israel, we complete the idea that Israel is IN FACT essential to God and His plan for the World. Listen as Neil and Jeff lead you to this understanding that the nation and people of Israel are essential to his plan. Read Romans 11 and ask yourself:
Is the Church (the followers of Jesus) a NEW Israel or does it become PART of Israel and now required to help all Israel in fulfilling God's...
In liberal theological circles the "Preterists" have decided that the current state of Israel is insignificant as are the Jewish People. God judged Israel in AD 70 by destroying the Temple and sacking Israel once and for all. The CHURCH is the NEW Israel. This is called "replacement theology" and it seeks to claim the nullification of Israel of the Old Testament with regards to the it's importance in the current day and the futur...
In this episode we Neil and I dscuss the "Occupied Territory" in Israel. Yes IN Israel.
Over 50 years ago there was what was called the SIX DAY war. Part of the result of that conflict was what is now called The Occupied Territory. But lately Israel has renamed it Judea-Samaria. This is the region in Isreal where MOST of the Bible took place! But today it is risky to go there. Listen as Neil and Jeff explain how this might be...
Many are asking: SO IS THIS IT? GOG AND MEGOG? Listen as Neil and I explain the importance of what is going on right now in Israel and the Middle East.How does it fit into an end times scenario? DOES it fit?
Did you KNOW?
In this episode Neil and I spend some important time discussing why there is so much continuity to the VIOLENCE and WAR in the MIDDLE EAST. We also discuss the importance of curiousity and checking your beliefs from. time to time. Don't miss this one!
This is episode 81. Thank you for listening!
in this episode we take on the idea that there are both blessings and curses in the bible and understanding each is important. Then Neil and I take look at the "other countries that we should all be watching as to how they impact Israel.
“Has the Church Replaced Israel? Think Again.”
Did the Christian Church replace Israel—or has it misunderstood its own identity?In this episode, we dismantle the popular but flawed doctrine of Replacement Theology. Many believe the Church has taken Israel’s place in God’s plan, but Scripture tells a different story—one of continuity, covenant, and God’s unbroken promises to the Jewish people. Discover h...
Don't miss this one. We recap Neil's March Trip to Israel and talk about how the STONES CRY OUT! And we discuss an "evangelical" plan to throw out the Old Testament??
It's one thing to read about or watch news coverage about Israel, and another to experience it. In this episode with Neil in Israel we talk about a new Archeological find called "The Steps". In the Torah there certain of God's Holidays (Holy Days) which require a "pilgrimage" toi Israel for ALL Jews. Passover is of course one as is Shavuot (Also known as PENTECOST). During these pilgrimages the visiting Jews would need to go to...
Friends in this episode we talk with Neil by phone while he visited Israel. He's felt called to go for some time and he finally made the trip. This is one of two shows with Neil in Israel so stay tuned for #2 coming soon!!
Enjoy!
Jeff

Lots of chaos in the world today. But in this episode we bring you to the awesome understanding about where God is in all this chaos. He's right there with you and us! He's working HIs plan to work "all things together for the good of those who love Him....." There is "nothing new under the sun" that is on the Earth in our lives. Fear Not, for HE has overcome this broken, human system and is making US NEW every day.

In this episode of Israel- Why is the Middle East Important?, we continue from the pervious episode to further explain the importance of the TIME we are in. This time, we believe, is the beginning of the end. NOT Armegeddon, NOT Ezekiel 38, 39. But a season of conflicts when Israel's neighbors and those in proximity, begin aggression towards her. Join Neil and Jeff as they conclude this two-parter on Psalm 83 and begin the "T...
