“The hardships that individuals in Israel and Palestine are encountering, as devotees to this room, we grasp the weight and the gravity that accompanies this contention.

“I was so supported by this – when Jesus returns, He will plummet from which he rose at the Mount of Olives, and He will part the mountain in two. Since the God we serve is strong. Simultaneously, He is available. He is available with the people who are harming. He is available with the people who are broken. The sacred writing makes a lovely showing of laying out the picture of Jesus as the splendid and morning star. He is high or more and away from everything. In any case, it keeps on depicting Him as the lily of the valley. He’s uninformed spots, the tranquil spots, the spots of torment and misfortune.
“Thus, I simply need to communicate today for the craftsmen in this confidence local area here, that we recollect Israel this evening. We stand with individuals of God and as sacred text teaches us, we petition God for harmony in Jerusalem. Presently consider this – we can’t simply appeal to God for harmony and not comprehend and distinguish the Ruler of Harmony. This contention won’t end until Jesus is the Ruler of Israel and Jesus is the Master of Palestine and Jesus is the Master of each and every country and each clan and each tongue. There is a day coming at which each knee will bow and each tongue admit that Jesus Christ is Ruler.
“The world could be at war however the congregation will be in love. Since we don’t laud God relying on our conditions. We acclaim God relying on His standing. Also, sacred text says He is devoted and He takes care of each and every age. Furthermore, that implies there are ages the world will fail to remember that God will recollect. This evening we praise that name of Jesus as we recollect individuals bringing in torment this evening.”
