Revelation 13: 1-10….Is this a Fairy Tale?

Isaiah 41: 11-20….Is there a phobia for the Jews about their future?

I use it because as I read this Psalm (remember that we looked at the first 10 verses yesterday) I think that somehow the Israelites have developed an understandable but nevertheless irrational fear of their neighbours! Irrational because God gives explanations, promises and hopes whichContinue reading “Isaiah 41: 11-20….Is there a phobia for the Jews about their future?”
