The Fullness of the Nations Paul the apostle famously wrote the Romans: For I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so […]
The Shift and Strategic Alliances It’s been extremely subtle. A shift, growing in intensity, is underway. It emerges within the context of the unexpecteds, the distractions and wide swings of recent months. And with that shift is a focus on strategic alliances …. unusual strategic alliances. Alliances outside the boundaries of our typical religious thinking; […]
Convergence Since October 7th there has been a growing focus and concern from both the Church and the Jewish community concerning the flagrant rise of anti-Semitism, high-levels of anti-Jewish propaganda and blatant persecution …. and how these dimensions bear on the future of both Israel and the Church.
