The Rejected Savior Who Will Be The Final Judge Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2021

The name and mission of the Lord Jesus Christ either brings about revival or riot, happiness or hatred, personal rage or personal redemption. It has been this way ever since His first appearing but all will bow to Him when He returns, whether they like it or not.

Every nation in the world (America included, unfortunately) hates Him and He is not even welcome in a number of ...read more
