Can miracles really change a person?

In First Kings Chapter 13, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel discover a powerful and unsettling truth: witnessing the impossible does not necessarily lead to repentance or change. This chapter of Prophets of Israel Daily explores Jeroboam, the mysterious man of God, prophecy, deception, teshuva, and the choices that shape the direction of our lives.

A nameless man of God confronts King Jeroboam and prophesies the destruction of the altar at Beit El, naming King Josiah three centuries before his birth. Jeroboam witnesses miracles with his own eyes, yet refuses to change, while the prophet himself is deceived into turning back.

In this chapter you'll learn: • The prophecy of Josiah, fulfilled 300 years later • Why Jeroboam's golden calves represented a deeper spiritual problem • The danger of trusting a comfortable voice over the word of God • Why miracles do not necessarily lead to transformation • The difference between signs, repentance, and true teshuva • What First Kings 13 teaches us about faith, obedience, humility, and the courage to change

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.
