What happens when we look everywhere for answers but forget to turn to the God of Israel?
In Second Kings, Chapter 1, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel begin the second book of Kings with Ahaziah, son of Ahab and Jezebel, who turns to Baal-zebub instead of seeking the God of Israel. Elijah confronts the king’s messengers with the powerful question: “Is there no God in Israel?”
The chapter takes us through pride and humility, judgment and mercy, fire from heaven, and the possibility of teshuvah. Why does one captain approach Elijah with arrogance while another kneels and pleads for mercy? And what does Elijah’s mysterious missing letter have to do with redemption?
Join us as we uncover the deeper lessons of Second Kings, Chapter 1, and what this ancient story has to say about where we turn when we need answers.

JCAP (the Jerusalem Center for Applied Policy) researches, advances policies and advocates for Jerusalem as Israel's sovereign and indivisible capital- and more. Founder and president Chaim Silberstein speaks with Eve Harow about little known issues that have dangerous ramifications. For example, the Arab population of the city now stands at 40%. How can Jerusalem be reconfigured and built up as to minimize the potential of a ‘democratic’ coup? Erdogan of Turkey, with Qatari complicity, is building a Sunni ring around Israel whose goal is to anoint him as Caliphate of an Empire with Jerusalem at the center. Iran and its proxies remain a major nuclear threat to the West. With France burning, JCAP’s global diplomatic efforts are becoming increasingly critical to educate allies that Israel’s enemies are theirs as well. Their research provides valuable insights into what’s coming next and how to avoid the consequences of inaction.
