In a recent message, Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel urged believers to anchor their hope in the promises of Scripture, especially in the face of death and uncertainty. He reminded listeners that the Christian faith isn’t built on wishful thinking, but on solid, inerrant doctrine.
“The entire book of Romans is pure doctrine,” he said. “The doctrine of the hope that we must have… that our body is going to be redeemed out of this world.” His teaching focused on the rapture—not as a fringe belief, but as a vital part of Christian hope.

Quoting 1 Thessalonians 4, Tsarfati made it clear that this promise comes directly from God. “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,” he read. “The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout… and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.”
For Tsarfati, this isn’t a vague future events, but is instead a source of daily comfort. “You have heavenly citizenship,” he said. “When you die, you don’t die. You go home.”
Anticipating pushback, he confronted the common skepticism surrounding the rapture. “Why is the rapture your only problem?” he asked. “Was the parting of the Red Sea not something else? Isn’t God the God of miracles?” Tsarfati called on believers to stop listening to mockers and instead hold tightly to the truth. “Comfort one another with these words,” he said.
