CBN’s Jerusalem Dateline closed out the year by reminding Christians and patriots that history is unfolding before our eyes, featuring Aaron Shust singing his stirring worship song “Zion” from Jerusalem. The segment aired as part of their December 26, 2025 highlights, and it wasn’t fluff — it was a clear celebration of faith, prophecy, and the eternal ties between America’s Christian heart and the people of Israel.
The music video is more than performance art; it’s built around moving scenes of Jewish families returning home to Israel — making aliyah — and the visuals effectively tie Israel’s modern rebirth to the biblical promises Christians have long held dear. Filmmakers who worked with Shust documented the pilgrimage, the prayers at the Western Wall, and the everyday faces of people coming back to the land God promised to Abraham.
Shust’s lyrics aren’t vague sentiment; they are scriptural proclamations set to music, quoting and echoing the promises that God would bring His people back to their land and never forsake them. Lines like “I will bring you back home” and the Shema woven into the close make the song a worshipful proclamation of prophecy being fulfilled, and those words resonate with anyone who believes the Bible still matters.
This is precisely the kind of courageous cultural moment conservatives should champion — worship and prophecy speaking truth into current events while the mainstream media pretends faith is quaint or irrelevant. Aaron Shust has performed “Zion” in Jerusalem before, including live worship gatherings at the Tower of David, and Christian leaders have rightly pointed to these moments as proof that God’s promises are active, not dusty relics of the past.
Patriotic Americans who still understand the Judeo-Christian roots of our freedoms should see this as a call to stand firmer with Israel and with voices that won’t apologize for Scripture. While elites in our universities and coastal newsrooms try to erase history and shame faith, videos like this remind millions that truth and tradition endure — and they are worth defending with our prayers, our votes, and our voices.
There’s a practical takeaway here too: support outlets and artists who refuse to bow to the secular pressure to sanitize faith from the public square. Purchase the music, attend worship events, and make sure your community hears that the regathering of Israel is not a political abstraction but a living, breathing reality that affirms the God who keeps promises.
So watch the video, sing with conviction, and share it with fellow believers — because in a culture that increasingly mocks faith, we need more prophetic art, more bold praise, and more Americans willing to stand with Zion. This isn’t merely entertainment; it’s worship, witness, and a reminder that the promises written in Scripture are happening in our generation.
