A powerful voice is emerging with a sobering warning about the growing wave of anti-Israel sentiment—even among some who claim to be Christians.
In a recent interview with CBN, Iranian-born Christian Ramin Parsa did not hold back as he addressed what he sees as a deeply troubling trend.
“It’s absolutely demonic,” Parsa said bluntly. “There’s no explanation other than being demonic.”
Parsa, who left Islam, gave his life to Christ and eventually moved to Israel, said he has been stunned to hear rhetoric in America that mirrors what he was taught growing up under Iran’s regime.
“I never imagined… that I would be hearing the same thing that the regime told us when I was a kid… that I would hear the same rhetorics in America,” he said.
‘False Brethren’ and Spiritual Deception
Parsa went further, questioning the authenticity of those promoting anti-Israel narratives while claiming Christian faith.
“These are not Christians. These are false brethren,” he said, pointing out that many cannot even explain their conversion or spiritual foundation.
According to Parsa, the issue is not merely political—it is spiritual. He warned that propaganda and deception are being amplified globally, even by regimes hostile to Israel.
“The regime in Iran is broadcasting their videos… to tell people, ‘See, we told you.’”
Israel as a Defender of Freedom
Drawing from his personal background, Parsa emphasized that Israel plays a critical role in protecting not only itself but the broader free world.
“If it wasn’t for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel, the regime in Iran would have a nuclear weapon,” he said, adding that the world would be living in constant fear.
He described Israel as a place of innovation, freedom and coexistence—something he says is often ignored in global narratives.
“This is the only place where Jews and Arabs actually can live together in peace,” Parsa noted.
A Stark Contrast for Christians
Parsa also contrasted Israel with surrounding nations, particularly regarding religious freedom.
“In Israel, you can have a church. You can talk about Yeshua. You’re free,” he said.
By comparison, he highlighted the persecution of Christians across much of the Middle East, noting that in some nations, evangelism can result in prison time.
He also pointed to Bethlehem as an example, claiming that the Christian population dropped dramatically after governance shifted away from Israeli control.
A Historical and Spiritual Perspective
Parsa reminded viewers that much of the Middle East was once predominantly Christian, citing regions associated with the early church and the book of Revelation.
“These places were all… where Jesus sent a message to the churches,” he said, pointing to modern-day Turkey and surrounding areas.
Now, he argues, many of those regions have undergone dramatic religious and cultural shifts—often accompanied by violence and displacement.
A Call to Discernment
Parsa’s message ultimately serves as both a warning and a call for discernment. What he sees unfolding is not just a geopolitical shift, but a spiritual battle over truth, narrative and allegiance.
The question facing believers is no longer just political—it is deeply spiritual. Scripture reminds us that deception will increase in the last days and that truth will often be exchanged for lies. What we are witnessing may be more than a cultural shift; it could be a testing of discernment within the body of Christ itself.
In a time when narratives are rapidly shaping global opinion, Christians must stand firm in truth, pray for wisdom and remain anchored in the Word—because not every voice claiming light is truly from it.
