In a recent livestream, pastor and media creator Kap Chatfield addressed rising division among Christians over the Middle East crisis, and Israel in particular, warning believers not to let politics cloud their biblical convictions.
“The problem is we’ve made this a political issue, when the truth is this is a biblical one,” Chatfield said. “If you follow Jesus, then you need to know what He says about Israel.”

Chatfield directly challenged claims that modern-day Israel is no longer relevant to God’s plan, stating, “God’s covenant with Israel still stands.”

He also criticized comments by political commentator Candace Owens, who dismissed support for Israel as a dispensationalist heresy.
“The whole point of the Bible is a story about God’s relentless covenant and his faithfulness to a people who were completely faithless,” he said.
Emphasizing Israel’s central place in prophecy, he added, “If you hate what God loves, you have become an enemy of God.” Citing multiple Scriptures, he called on Christians to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” and to remember that “those who bless Israel will be blessed.”
