In this week’s Red Alert Report, Amy Zewe sits down with author, TV Host, and Israel advocate Risto Huvila to discuss one of the most urgent issues facing the Middle East today: the future of Jerusalem. Risto is the founder of the Pro-Jerusalem Alliance, a global initiative dedicated to preserving Jerusalem as the undivided, eternal capital of Israel.
Risto shares his powerful journey of faith, beginning with a life-changing encounter with Scripture in 2005 that opened his eyes to Israel’s central place in God’s plan. His research into biblical history, Jewish identity, and the modern political landscape led him to confront the widespread misrepresentation of Israel—especially at the United Nations.

⭐ Key Bible Verses About Jerusalem’s Eternal Significance
- Psalm 132:13–14 — “For the Lord hath chosen Zion… This is my rest forever.”
- 2 Chronicles 6:6 — “I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there.”
- Psalm 48:8 — “God will establish it for ever.”
- Isaiah 49:16 — “I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.”
- Zechariah 2:4–5 — “Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls… and I will be a wall of fire round about.”
- Isaiah 62:6–7 — “Give Him no rest, till He establish… Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”
These Scriptures underscore the biblical foundation for Jerusalem’s unity and the importance of defending it today.
⭐ Why This Matters
Risto explains how international bodies—especially the UN—have issued a disproportionate number of condemnations against Israel, often pushing for a two-state solution that would divide Jerusalem. He warns that such a move would jeopardize access to the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and countless other sacred sites.
His message is clear: A divided Jerusalem is a danger to history, faith, and freedom.
