Israel: God’s Red Line for the World

Michael Lynch has been to Israel almost 40 times since his first trip in 2013 and has been investing in Israel since 2019. He was mentored by Jack Hayford and worked closely with him as he traveled the world to teach the foundation of Christianity is to support and stand with the Jewish people and Israel. In 2020, Michael founded Olivet Capital to source and manage real estate and development opportunities in Israel. He has since established multiple companies in both the United States and Israel on behalf of investors. In 2025, he launched Rebuild Israel (www.RebuildIsrael.com), an investment platform dedicated to helping investors that believe the Scriptures to participate directly in Rebuilding Israel with the acquisition, entitlement, and development of residential land throughout all of Israel. A defining aspect of Michael's work is his role as a bridge builder between Jewish and Christian partners. He has spent years cultivating relationships with Israeli developers, landowners, and business leaders while simultaneously engaging investors, pastors, and community leaders in the United States. His approach is relational before transactional. He believes that genuine friendship and mutual respect between Christians and Jews is not incidental to the work but essential to it. Michael brings more than 25 years of experience in finance, investment management, and real asset development to this effort. Earlier in his career, he served as a wealth manager and financial advisor, working on complex transactions for individuals, families, and operating businesses. He has held leadership roles across investment management, construction, media, and advisory firms, and has served on various executive and nonprofit boards. But credentials alone did not produce this book. What compelled Michael to write was a growing conviction, built over years of study and observation, that the Biblical case for Israel is not just theology. It is a very real pattern visible in history. Nations that have honored God's covenant with the Jewish people have prospered. Those that have turned against Israel have declined. The evidence, once examined, demands a response. This book is that response. It is an attempt to present the case clearly, confront the cost of neutrality, and ask readers what they will do once the evidence is in front of them. The future of our family, our nation, and all of Western Civilization will be determined by our response. Michael earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. He lives in the Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas area with his wife and five children.
