Why does God start with a salvation “history” that lasts for many centuries?

Rev. Henk Poot 11 April 2011

En route to the promised land by Rev. Henk Poot.. The source and course of Israel, God’s firstborn son, had its origin in the calling of Abram. The first question you ask might well be why the creation of Israel was necessary. Why did God not go from Genesis 3 to the final chapters of the Gospel of Matthew? Why are there more than eleven hundred pages in-between these passages in my Bible? Why does God start with a salvation “history” that lasts for many, many centuries? (more…)

 

Does the New Testament tell us anything concerning the land of Israel?

Rev. Jaap de Vreugd 15 December 2010

Many Christians hold the view that the New Testament is, at best, silent on the issue of the land of Israel.

Why Israel wasn’t blessed with an abundance of oil; the curse of plenty…

editor 2 September 2010

The Curse of Plenty By Rabbi Benjamin Blech…Jews used to joke in a semi-serious sigh, if only Moses would’ve had a better sense of direction and turned right instead of left, we could have been heirs to all those precious oilfields in the Middle East. Instead we got Israel, and the most even God could say about it is that it’s a land flowing with milk and honey. (more…)

 

ISRAEL: A PLACE OF PILGRIMAGE

Rev. Gideon Nchinda 25 August 2010

My dreams for pilgrimage to Israel started in 1995 when I listened to a testimony from a Baptist pastor in Cameroon. He had visited Israel bringing along with him a piece of rock from Gethsemane and some water from the place where Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist in the Jordan River, as a symbol of faith.

“Mission Impossible” for PM Benjamin Netanyahu

editor 8 June 2010

By David Silver… Week by week, if not day by day, international pressure and hatred grows stronger against the nation, the people and the government of Israel. I believe what Israel really needs at this time is a Messianic Prime Minister. (more…)

 

How should Christians respond to the reality of Israel?

editor 8 June 2010

Just so, the promise of the land has a real, concrete content. In this study, dr. Barry Horner (author of ‘Future Israel’) expounds on the reality and actual meaning of the promise of the land to the Jewish people, and how Christians should respond to the reality of Israel.
