Tom Hughes welcomed Israeli political analyst and Bible Bloc Party founder Avi Lipkin to Hope for Our Times, delivering a prophetic and sobering message about Israel’s role in the last days and the increasing dangers facing Jews and Christians alike.
The conversation, deeply rooted in biblical prophecy, served as a warning to the church: now is the time to discern the signs, align with God’s covenant people and prepare for what is coming.
“God Has a Plan”: October 7 and Prophetic Fulfillment
Lipkin described the horrors of Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists launched a surprise attack on Israel, as a catalytic fulfillment of prophecy. “We didn’t even want this war,” he said, “but God has His own plan.”
“God had a plan to terminate Hamas,” Lipkin continued, stressing that even in Israel’s darkest moments, God’s sovereignty prevails. “And Hamas is getting terminated.”
Referencing Ezekiel 36 and God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Hughes declared, “God will fulfill His purpose. He will fulfill His role. He says, ‘My name is on that covenant that I made.’”

A New Holocaust? Warning to American Jews and Christians
Lipkin warned that what began with the atrocities of October 7, will not end in the Middle East. “There are thousands of these people who illegally gained entry into the United States under Biden,” he said, describing them as jihadis ready to strike.
He added, “America is under imminent threat of attack from the jihadis… and they are backed by the Chinese and they are backed by the Russians. I pray for America. I’m here now trying to spread the warning.”
The most alarming warning Lipkin gave was about a second Holocaust—this time in the U.S.
“You are like deer on the highway with your eyes being blinded,” he said about American Jews. “It breaks my heart. By the way, synagogues never invite me to speak. The only people who invite me to speak are you guys.”
Israel: The Prophetic Clock
The prophetic implications of Israel’s existence and the current war cannot be ignored.
“If you believe in God and you believe in the Bible, then you know that His word is true,” Lipkin said. “And you’re not going to lose any sleep about it at night because everything God says happens.”
“We are at a time in history,” Lipkin added, “where so much prophecy is being fulfilled right now. Things that your people might have been alive 2,000 or 4,000 years ago and they didn’t see it—and now we are seeing everything, all the pieces of the puzzle coming together.”
Christians Must Discern the Times
The message to Christians was clear: the church must wake up to the prophetic reality unfolding. Lipkin stated bluntly, “Christians are part of Israel. They’re not Jewish, but they’re part of the tree of Israel.”
He condemned replacement theology, saying, “Israel is the olive tree. The Jews are the roots and the Christians are the branches. Anybody who tries to kill the roots kills the branches.”
Hughes echoed the urgency: “I’m warning Christians right now. You better be prepared… I think it’s going to come down to the wire.”

Final Word: God Is on the Throne
Despite the dire warnings, the tone ended with hope and clarity.
“It’s good to be on the winning side,” Lipkin said. “And part of the miracles will be that the Jews and the Christians will reconcile and be together. Anybody who opts out, that’s their own problem. But those Christians and Jews who opt to be together—this is a miracle after 2,000 years.”
As Avi Lipkin and Tom Hughes made clear, now is the time to watch, pray and prepare. Israel is not just another nation—it is the epicenter of God’s end times plan.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” Hughes concluded. “That is God’s prayer request.”
