Luke told us that in Luke 9:51. We read, “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, ...read more

America is not Jerusalem. American is not the new Israel. Our country is not protected as Israel was. But WE, the church of Jesus Christ, are.
Is America Jerusalem? The Puritans in Massachusetts thought of their colony as a “city on a hill”, a great experiment in godliness which would shine like a beacon to all the nations as a testimony to the transforming power of God. But not everyone came to this country for religious reasons. Many ...read more

So 6 months before the Kaiser’s scheduled arrival, the Sultan replaced the mayor of Jerusalem with a more ...read more
