I am preparing to board my flight to the West Coast of the United States ahead of our Alaska Cruise

I am preparing to board my flight to the West Coast of the United States ahead of our Alaska Cruise Prophecy Conference.

This time, however, it feels different.

I am heading into an America that seems changed.

The influence of Qatari funding on both Israel and the United States has had far-reaching consequences. Anti-Israel narratives, heavily supported by Qatar and amplified by voices in media, academia, and politics, have significantly strained the relationship between our two nations.

There was a time when only a small segment of the Democratic Party held anti-Israel views. Today, those perspectives have become far more widespread. Even more concerning, similar sentiments are beginning to surface within parts of the conservative movement.

If support for Israel once stood at around 90% among Americans, it has now dropped to below 50%.

What makes this shift especially striking is that it has occurred in the wake of the worst terrorist attack in Israel’s history and during a conflict with one of America’s greatest adversaries in the Middle East. One might expect such events to strengthen support for Israel, yet the opposite has happened.

It feels as though America is under a heavy spiritual burden.

All of this suggests that efforts to restore or reshape America may be reaching a critical point. The vast sums of money invested in the education system have influenced how many young people perceive allies and adversaries.

Recent political developments, such as the Democratic primary in New York, highlight how quickly perspectives are changing. Young voters are engaged, active, and deeply committed to the ideas they have been taught.

No political gesture or diplomatic effort can fully counteract the long-term impact of these influences.

But God…

The hope of America, just like the hope of Israel, has never been rooted in political systems, military power, or public opinion.

When the Jewish leaders visited Paul during his imprisonment in Rome, he said:

“For the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.” (Acts 28:20, NKJV)

The Hope of Israel - the One Paul proclaimed even in chains - is also the hope of the entire world, including America.

That is why no amount of advocacy or messaging will be sufficient if it lacks the hope found in our Messiah.

I consider it a great privilege to share His Word in these days.

In the weeks ahead, I will travel across continents, encountering different cultures and environments, but the message will remain the same:

Yeshua is coming soon.

Believe in His finished work, and you will be saved.

Awaiting His Return,
Amir
