In this episode, Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal, Bible teacher Bob Hunt, and host Christopher Diaz examine Matthew 24:15–22, focusing on the prophetic warning known as the “Abomination of Desolation.”

What exactly is this desolating abomination—and who stands behind it? Why does Scripture give it such central importance? And what consequences will it unleash upon the world?

One thing is certain: this defining event will mark a pivotal moment for all professing believers alive at that time. Join our panel as they take a deep, Scripture-centered dive into one of the most sobering and consequential events yet to come.

In this examination of Matthew 24:9-14, David Rosenthal, Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz discuss the dire conditions that will characterize Daniel’s 70th Week – the final 7 years of this era of human history.

When the Antichrist comes to power, world cultural conditions will deteriorate as the love of many will turn cold, multitudes will turn from the true God to a false one, and humanism will rise to levels never before seen.

Yet God will not leave this world without a witness as the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ WILL go forth, and though most will reject it, many will embrace it. At that time, those believers who persevere to the end will indeed be saved!

In Part 1 of this in-depth study of Matthew 24 – also known as “the Olivet Discourse" – Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal, Bob Hunt, and Christopher Diaz focus on Jesus' teaching of the End Times – and the opening of the 7 seals.

Though found in Revelation chapter 6, the seal judgments correspond perfectly with the early verses of Matthew 24, and paint a grim picture of what will be happening on Earth during the first half of Daniel’s 70th Week – that is, the final 7 years of this era of human history.

This crucial End Times teaching will introduce you to the questions which led to the Lord’s teaching on this extraordinary time, the Antichrist, and the timing of when these things will occur.

At Zion’s Hope, we believe understanding Bible end-times prophecy — known as eschatology — isn’t optional for believers. It’s essential.

Ep: 20 The last of the 20 Israeli hostages being held by Hamas have finally been released and we praise God for it. But now the question must be asked: What's next? What becomes of Hamas? What becomes of the Arab nations' grand plans to transform Gaza -- and the entire region, for that matter -- into a tourist mecca?

And what of nations such as Turkey and Qatar being part of President Trump's 20-point peace plan? Do they really seek peace in the region, particularly Israel's peace, or is there more brewing beneath the surface in their involvement? And can Hamas truly be counted on to cooperate?

And finally, what of this historic peace agreement? Is it THE one the Bible speaks of in the Book of Daniel, the one that will usher us into the final 7 years?

Join Zion's Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they dig into these crucial issues and try to make sense of the incredible series of events that have been occurring in the Middle East over the past few months.

In this powerful episode, Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Digital Media Manager Christopher Diaz reflect on their three visits to Israel within the past 10 months—a nation enduring war, resilience, and remarkable faith.

Join them as they share personal stories and on-the-ground insights, including:

• The heartfelt gratitude of Israelis welcoming visitors during wartime.

• How the spirit and demeanor of the people have changed amid ongoing conflict.

• The reality of running to bomb shelters and witnessing missiles intercepted overhead.

• The surreal experience of standing at the site of the October 7, 2023, massacre.

• Moments of sharing the Gospel and encouragement with Israelis in need of hope.

• Updates on what’s happening in Gaza today.

• And above all, the unmistakable sovereignty of God at work throughout the Middle East.

🎧 Tune in for a candid, faith-filled conversation that blends eyewitness testimony, biblical perspective, and hope for Israel’s future.

The Middle East is filled with moving parts. Israel is still battling Hamas throughout Gaza. The water crisis which is crippling Iran is also spreading to Iraq and Syria. Potential new global trade routes are stoking the flaming anger of Russia, Turkey, and China. And what about the lesser-known playing pieces Armenia and Azerbaijan? What place on the chess board to the play?

If indeed the Middle East is a chess board filled with prophetic implications, just how does each move these nations make draw the world ever closer to the events predicted so long ago in the biblical books of Ezekiel and Revelation?

Join Zion’s Hope President David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they examine what is happening in the Middle East at this moment and finding possible connections to prophetic fulfillment.

Can a land long known for war and chaos be transformed into a thriving paradise of peace and prosperity?

In this episode, we explore the bold and ambitious vision known as The G.R.E.A.T. Trust — a multinational proposal backed by moderate Arab nations, Israel, the United States, and global corporations. The goal? To turn Gaza into a glittering Mediterranean hub of trade, high-tech innovation, and international tourism — a “mini-UAE” rising from the rubble.

But is such a transformation even possible?

We dive into:

Who’s funding and leading this initiative?

Why Gaza — and why now?

Can Palestinians truly embrace peace and partnership with Israel?

How does this align with what the Bible reveals about the future of this region?

The G.R.E.A.T. Trust may promise economic revival, but the spiritual battle for Gaza — and the land of Israel — remains at the heart of the matter.

🎙️ Join David Rosenthal and Christopher Diaz as they unpack the geopolitical, spiritual, and prophetic implications of this high-stakes vision for Gaza’s future.

Watch now and discover why this proposal may be far more than just another peace plan.
