God spoke through the prophet Joel to deliver a message of impending judgment to His Chosen People. Chapter 2 opens with a shofar blast, which warned Israel of an army coming. In part 2 of our 3-part series on Joel, Chris describes this warning as a prophecy of both the Babylonian invasion and the future battle of the Tribulation. Despite …
Prophecy offers us a valuable glimpse into God’s relationship with Israel and His plans for the world. You’ll find this to be true over the next 3 weeks as we study the book of Joel. The prophecies of Joel not only provide a clear picture of a landmark moment in Israel’s history but will also help you examine your own …
Our days are full of trouble and suffering. This life is not an easy one for anybody. It’s even harder for Christians, who live in a world that fights against the Lord. But we have a wonderful promise we can hold onto: Jesus is coming back soon! The Friends of Israel’s free online conference AWAKEN shares this wonderful truth through …
Last week we learned about the year of Jubilee, which God instructed the Israelites to remember in Leviticus 25. Though Jubilee is rarely mentioned in the rest of Scripture, its themes are such a key to Bible prophecy. They show up in the Old Testament, but they also play a major part in Jesus’ message to Israel. In the second …
Last week we learned that Jesus’ birthplace of Bethlehem was no ordinary little town. It was the subject of a prophecy from Micah 5:2 revealing the birthplace of the Messiah, which the Jewish people knew well. But beyond this, Micah gave another detail of the Messiah’s origin a chapter earlier. It specified the exact place and people in Bethlehem that …
If you’re like most people, your hometown is a special place. It’s part of what developed your personality and perspective in life. In the same way, Jesus’ hometown was a big part of His human background. It wasn’t just some town, or some meaningless blip on Israel’s radar, as some today think it was. Bethlehem was the subject of one …
Let’s recap our Kidron Saga so far: We’ve seen God’s presence dwelling among people first in the Garden of Eden, then in the Tabernacle, then in the Temple before departing Jerusalem. But this isn’t the end! God sent His Son, Jesus, to dwell among men, which we’ll take a close look at this week. Jesus’ deity was hard for the …
Our study of the Tabernacle in part 2 of our Kidron saga comes into play this week in part 3 as we study God’s home on Earth: the Temple. King Solomon built this amazing structure for the Lord and His glory, and he put it right in the center of God’s holy city, Jerusalem. The Temple gave the Israelites a …
The presence of God in our lives as believers makes our relationship with Him so special. But throughout history, God has dwelled with His people physically in several ways, which we’re learning about in our 6-part Kidron Valley series. Last week we learned about the first place God dwelled with man—in the Garden of Eden. This week takes us through …
Two of the most important mountains in the world are found in Jerusalem: Mount Moriah and the Mount of Olives. But it’s the Kidron Valley sitting between them that has so much to teach us about God’s pursuit of you and me! Chris opens up an awesome six-week series on the Kidron Valley starting way back at the beginning of …
