Art Katz discusses the implications of Benjamin Netanyahu's election in Israel, suggesting that it may not lead to any significant change in the nation's dire circumstances. He argues that the Oslo agreements have already conceded too much ground to Israel's enemies, and any attempts to reverse this could escalate violence. Katz emphasizes that Israel's salvation cannot be found in political solutions but rather in a return to God, warning that a time of great distress, referred to as 'the time of Jacob's trouble,' is imminent. He calls for the Church to recognize the prophetic responsibility to warn of impending disaster and to prepare spiritually for the challenges ahead. Ultimately, Katz believes that true redemption for Israel will come only after a period of suffering and trial.
