Kaya Jones, once known for her role in the chart-topping pop group The Pussycat Dolls, is now using her platform to proclaim a very different message. After leaving behind her Hollywood career and becoming a born-again Christian, Jones has spoken out boldly about the rise of antisemitism and the Christian responsibility to stand with Israel.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with CBN News, Jones didn’t mince words. “Our Messiah is Jewish,” she declared, pointing Christians back to the biblical roots of their faith.<\/p>\n

“[God’s] Word is perfect,” she said. “So, we either believe that, or we’re calling God a liar. And my God is not a liar; He is true to every promise. There will be the full restoration of Jacob’s house, and we are a part of that \u2014 we are a big part of it. We are to be the fragrance of the Messiah so that our brothers and sisters in the nations that do not know Him can see Him.”<\/p>\n

Jones, who recently released her debut Christian album<\/a> The Royal Collection<\/em>, emphasized that Christians must not forget their spiritual heritage. “We can’t have amnesia right now and forget where we come from,” she explained. “Our Messiah is Jewish and our traditions \u2014 every part of our Christian Bible and traditions \u2014 are quilted by the seeds of Abraham. It is very serious that we understand that.”<\/p>\n

Her comments come at a time when antisemitism is growing both in the U.S. and abroad, and as influencers on social media amplify harsh criticism of Israel. Some, like podcaster Candace Owens, have gone as far as calling Israel a “demonic state.” Jones responded with concern about the theology behind such statements.<\/p>\n

“I hear a lot of these influencers talking against the nation of Israel, and I wonder where their theology is,” she said. “Where did they get this notion? Was it just deep-diving into the internet, or was it going to what the Scriptures tell us? Because Jesus is clear.”<\/p>\n

To drive the point home, she referenced Romans 11:17-18, where the Apostle Paul reminds Gentile believers that they are “grafted in” to the root of Israel, sharing in the blessings of Abraham’s covenant. “You are just a branch, not the root,” the Scripture reads \u2014 a passage Jones believes is especially important in today’s climate.<\/p>\n

Jones also called Christians to pray for leaders who carry immense burdens in seeking peace in the Middle East. She praised both President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their leadership. “They do have the weight of the world on their shoulders,” she said. I’m very proud of President Trump. We needed to get these people home, and the war needs to end. It’s coming to an end, and I’m grateful.”<\/p>\n

For Jones, this is not about politics but about faithfulness to God’s promises. “If it’s bothering people when we say, ‘Good work,’ when it’s for peace, then something’s wrong with us, because it doesn’t matter which side of the aisle you sit on; peace should be for the whole world. We want peace.”<\/p>\n

From pop stardom to preaching God’s truth, Jones’s life is a striking reminder of the transforming power of Christ. And now, as she continues her ministry through music and testimony, her voice rings with a call for Christians everywhere: remember your roots, stand with God’s people, and never forget \u2014 our Messiah is Jewish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
