Israel — The word occurs over two-thousand times in holy scripture and I’m sure if you counted mention of the same word in our daily media, you would arrive at a similarly high number.
But what exactly is Israel? A people? A parcel of land? A modern nation-state? Or something more? Further, what is the relation of Israel to ancient prophecy and the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ?
The apostle Paul answers all of these question in his epistle to the Romans, chapters 9-11, and you are invited to join us as we study this important topic.
