A pernicious teaching is being embraced by millions of pro-Israel Christians today which, I truly believe, should cause grave concern to all who fear God and venerate His name.

God is Preparing a Table…

…It is in the Land of Israel. It is for the nation of Israel. And it is for the Gentile nations who accept the invitation to help set it. In the 30 years that this land has been my home, I have never seen Israel as lovely—or as flourishing.
