Tension Rising in the Middle East

Date: August 14, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Dr. Gary Frazier MP3 | Order

Israeli Defense Forces are on high alert over a possible attack from Iran due to the recent killing of Iran-related proxy group leaders.  Some speculate that this might only be hours or perhaps days away.  There’s concern that an attack could spark a greater regional war.  This has resulted in the U.S. deploying both increasing naval and air assets to the region to defend Israel in an attempt to hopefully deescalate tensions.

What might this signal in terms of Bible prophecy?  Returning to Crosstalk to answer that question was Dr. Gary Frazier.  Dr. Frazier is a respected speaker and writer on the subject of Bible prophecy.  He’s the founder and president of Discovery Missions.  He is the author of numerous books including: Miracle of Israel, It Could Happen Tomorrow, Hell is for Real, Divorcing God: The Two Americas and The Event: The Dream of World Peace Realized.

Gary explained that from the days of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to Israel today, we see that Islamic leaders have not changed their mind concerning the total annihilation of Israel and its people.  He also noted that there is no such thing as a political solution to a religious problem.  So why would anyone, especially the people in Washington, think that Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah would desire to enter into a negotiated agreement to establish peace, especially when under Islam it’s OK to lie, manipulate and use infidels to accomplish one’s goals? 

This is the foundation of this edition of Crosstalk that also discusses the following:

China has allegedly been goading Iran into attacking Israel.  What’s behind this?  

What influence might the U.S. be having on Israel concerning their response toward Iran?  

What is the Muslim “long game” strategy and how does it contrast with America’s materialist mindset.

Gary explains why the pre-tribulation rapture teaching is biblical, which was an answer to one of several calls from listeners nationwide.

Pakistani Outreach Grows Under Persecution

Date: August 13, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Pastor Shahid Kaleem MP3 | Order

Pastor Shahid Kaleem is founder and chairman of Christian Literature & Translation Ministry in Pakistan.  He has been partnering for several years with Bible Tracts Inc. for effective ministry of Bible tract and Bible distribution ministry in Pakistan.

Pakistan is a nation that comes in at number 5 in terms of world population with just over 251 million.  Much persecution is taking place there against Christians because of their stand for the Gospel.  This is not surprising because according to Voice of the Martyrs, close to 98% of the population is Muslim while nearly 2% is Christian.  Yet while persecution abounds, Christianity is also on the rise.  

Listen to this broadcast and you’ll hear Pastor Kaleem as he describes incidents of persecution/violence that have taken place in Christian areas of Pakistan and how this parallels what happened to Stephen in Acts 6-7.  Also discussed is how the Israeli war against Hamas is affecting Christians in Pakistan, their constitution’s stand toward Christianity, people coming to Christ in spite of persecution, the need for a printing press for his tract ministry, Pastor Kaleem’s personal testimony and much more.

Prayerfully consider giving so that as many as possible can be reached with the Gospel in Pakistan.
