To wrap up this TKU Center for Israel Q&A, host Phillip Hunter directs a final question to Nic and David: Are we closer to the return of Jesus today because of the current war between Hamas and Israel?

The answer highlights several points such as:

1. The three requirements Jesus laid out in Matthew 24 for His second coming
2. The unique dual nature of the Messiah
3. The importance of praying for Israel and the nations according to the revealed Word of God
4. The need for believers to align themselves with what God is doing on earth before anything else
5. To always be open to the Holy Spirit's revelation due to the complexities of interpreting biblical prophecy.

Host: Gateway Ministry Experience Pastor Phillip Hunter

Guests: Gateway Center for Israel's Executive Director Nic Lesmeister and Teaching Pastor David Blease
