     | 5,914 views

    Zephaniah is a little read and a little known Old Testament Prophecy but it is an important message for the world and for the Church. God will deal with evil, and there will come a day when he will rejoice over us with singing!

     | 2,393 views

    Jesus’ “going up” to Jerusalem is a public event, interpreted by Luke as a royal entry.
