Quotes by Sid Roth:
“We have built and installed 100 bomb shelters before most people knew they would be needed at no charge to Israel and at no profit to us.” Sid added that many more shelters are needed to counter future attacks.
Sid quotes scripture: “What’s next is Genesis 12:3: Tough times for Israel but tougher times for those who opposed Israel. God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. I see the greatest turning to Jesus in history among Jews and Arabs in Israel, the biggest in history.”
“I think leadership in Israel knows they need to respond in kind. There is nothing else they can do. Their response will be like for like, at minimum.”
“If Israel didn’t have the Iron Dome defense, and their major cities were destroyed, they may have had no choice but to have retaliated with a nuclear response.”
“Iran’s ‘greatest day’ would be if they could destroy Israel. If this escalates, Iran may nuke Israel, and Israel would nuke Iran. I think Iran has had nuclear-tipped weapons for three months now.”
About Sid Roth:
In 1971, Sid Roth, a traditional Jew, had a “lifesaving” encounter with Jesus that rocked his world. He experienced the same Presence of God that the Bible says Moses experienced. After the encounter, Sid read the entire Bible and became convinced Jesus is the Jewish Messiah as well as the Messiah for all people. He has made it his passion to share his experience with others. The same Presence of God Sid felt comes on many who hear him share his story.
In fact, Sid also has Israeli citizenship and has told his story to thousands of Israeli Jews. He has personally witnessed 12,500 Israeli, Ukrainian, and Russian Jews make public professions of faith in Jesus as Messiah. Also, many non-believing Jewish people in the audience have experienced physical healing while listening to Sid.
Sid started a nationally-syndicated radio show in 1977 and then a TV show,
Sid Roth’s It’s Supernatural!” that airs worldwide. He is also a best-selling author with over 3 million copies of his books in circulation.
