Times Of The Gentiles (3 of 17)
JERUSALEM CENTER OF WORLD DESTINY
Stan Coffey
Luke 21:24
The lesson today is entitled "Times of the Gentiles". We're only in the third lesson in this series and it's going to be a wonderful, wonderful series, relevant to what is happening today in the Middle East.

We looked at Jerusalem as the City of David because it was David who established Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It was under David that Jerusalem had her most glorious days. We looked at Jerusalem under King Solomon and how King Solomon was commissioned by God to build the temple, the holiest place on earth to the Jewish people, the place where the great temple of Solomon was built. It was one of the wonders of the world, a magnificent building.
Then we looked in the second lesson at how today Jerusalem is important to three great world religions, that is, to Islam, to Judaism and Christianity. Why is there such a fuss over Jerusalem? Well, it's because the thee great world ...
