Israel is the staging ground of God’s story of salvation  “Salvation is of the Jews.”

The areas currently being fought over (Gaza, West Bank) are the biblical locations of Gaza, Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, Mount Mariah, Bethel, Bethlehem, Jericho, Emmaus  et.al.    There is a future battle that will be staged there at a place called Har-Magedon when Jesus arrives for the second time.  

Is this area and these battles important to Christians?  Yes!  Without the Jews we wouldn’t have the gift of Salvation.  New Jerusalem is our future eternal home.

Todays message is dealing with Jesus’ prophecy in Ma 24, Mk 13.  It sheds light on the biblical events happening right now in Israel.  Every Christian should have a biblical understanding—not a social media understanding.  This message is about God’s faithfulness to His promises.  All Israel will be saved.
