Times Of The Gentiles (5 of 17)
JERUSALEM CENTER OF WORLD DESTINY

Luke 21:24
Well today we're looking at Jerusalem, center of world destiny part 5 and we're looking at the third part on the times of the Gentiles. You notice the verse on your outline Luke 21:24.

The Star of David was hoisted above the old city. Moshe Dian said, "We have returned to our most holy of places, never to be removed from it again." Today in the peace process, the final piece of the process that will bring peace to the Middle East will have to do with who controls Jerusalem, now controlled by the Jews. Now we looked at the history of Jerusalem under Babylon, under Persia, under Greece, Rome. Now we want ...
