When Jesus chose apostles to make up His inner circle, it was no accident that there were twelve.[1] That number alone tells us that on some level the twelve represent the tribes of Israel. This representation was not limited to the period of the First Coming until each of the twelve died. In electing the […]

In the latter days the children of Israel will seek the LORD and David their king (Hos. 3:5). The Israelites will serve the LORD and David, whom will be raised up for their sake (Jer. 30:9).

The unconditional covenant covered here is commonly referred to as the, “Palestinian Covenant.” This is a misnomer of the highest order due to it being rooted in anti-Semitism. The Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed Judea, “Palestine” in an attempt to erase the Hebrew claim to the land (135 A.D.). In modern times, the designation is incorrectly […]

It will run from Geba in the north to Rimmon in the South (Zech. 14:10).[1] The plain contrasts with the now highly lifted Jerusalem and King Jesus who will be ruling from the summit (Zech. 14:9-10). Jerusalem’s mountain will […]

The valley formed by the splitting of the Mount of Olives allows for the flow of an amazing river that will exist during the Millennium. The river’s fountainhead will be in the house of the LORD (Joel 3:18). Specifically, it will flow from below the temple’s threshold (Ez. 47:1). The river begins as only a […]
