In this episode, we interview Dr Hanna Massad, former pastor of the Gaza Baptist Church. We were moved by his message of love, reconciliation, and forgiveness in the face of persecution, and learned of various aspects of his current ministry.
We remind ourselves of the importance of the land, Jerusalem and temple in ancient Israel and what the New Testament says about that. At the end of the episode, we consider what Paul the Apostle meant when he said, "In this way all Israel will be saved" (Romans 11:26).
We go back to the Old Testament and look at how God's people are to live in God's land, the exile as the consequence of disobedience, followed by the promises of the return from exile.
This episode defines restorationism, political Zionism, and Christian Zionism, and it gives a history of the development of Zionism since it emerged at the end of the nineteenth century.
We go back to the Old Testament and consider the importance of the land of the Bible for ancient Israel and why Jewish people today consider the land important. We end with a brief look at what some Palestinians say about the land.
