They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!” (Psalm 83:4, ESV) Throughout the world, we now hear adversaries of Israel chant, “From the river to the Sea.” Understanding this phrase’s full intention, it’s a call to completely wipe out Israel — that the Jews

Come, Lord Jesus!” (Revelation 22:20). The Bible takes seriously the second coming of Jesus. There is a first coming and a second coming of Christ. Jesus brought

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear (2 Timothy 4:3, NLT). Do we have “itching-ears” syndrome in the church today? Are we in a
