Strunk, who ministers throughout Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Israel, warned, “We are close and closer to the coming of the Antichrist in Europe,” citing deepening divisions and growing spiritual deception as clear signs of prophetic fulfillment.

Much of the conversation centered on Israel’s role in end-times prophecy. “Israel needs to be there physically… the nation of Israel needs to return,” Strunk said, affirming that the rebirth of Israel is essential for the return of Christ. He referenced Hosea 5 and 6, explaining, “The same way as the Lord Jesus was resurrected on the third day, I believe the nation of Israel will be resurrected spiritually.”
Strunk also noted the spiritual battle surrounding Jerusalem, calling it “a cup of drunkenness” and “a very heavy stone for all peoples,” quoting Zechariah 12.
Strunk didn’t shy away from confronting rising anti-Semitism, especially within the church. “Even the pastors are preaching against us because we love Israel,” he said. “One day we’ll be standing in front of our Lord Jesus Christ and He will ask me, ‘Why were you silent when you were supposed to speak?’”
