25.42 The King is Coming - Getting the Context Right - Israel (Part 4)

Today marks the fourth and final installment of the preliminary teaching the Smiths bring on the Indigenous Faith podcast about getting the context right.  And it all has to do with having the proper understanding of the nation of Israel and its role in end times teaching.  Throughout this four part series, the Smiths have presented the nation of Israel in ways you may not have understood to this point.  What makes this series so important is that it all comes from the pages of God's Holy Word.  If our understanding of Israel is wrong, or non-existent, we will struggle to understand eschatology and the return of Jesus Christ.  Burn these truths into your conscience and memory, dear friends, and you'll go a long way in understanding things to come.  Israel was the recipient of the first covenant, but when the second or new covenant was established by the shed blood of Christ, they, along with all the other nations of the world, must come to faith in Christ in order to be saved.  The fact that they returned to the Promised Land some 2,000 years after being scattered and dispersed throughout the world is an incredible miracle in and of itself, and crucial to the fulfillment of end time prophecy.  The Smiths encourage us all to keep our eyes and ears tuned to the happenings in the Middle East and all that pertains to Israel because we are literally seeing biblical prophecy being lived out and confirmed through these world events.  It all means one important thing. Jesus is coming again!  Let's be ready for His return as a watchman on the wall and help our families be prepared as well.  The Smiths look forward to bringing more context to end time prophecy in the next installment of pre-prophecy teaching on upcoming editions of Indigenous Faith!  We'll see you then, dear friend!  Tell others about the series, as they will benefit form it as well.
