The Conference “blurb”:

“What does the Bible teach about the role of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel at the present time?

What is God's plan for the future of Israel and her neighbors?

How can believers in Jesus be part of God's peace process in the Middle East?

This conference will focus on the Bible's account of the role of Israel and the Jewish people - both now and in the future. The speakers are renowned scholars with profound insight into God's unfolding plan and purpose for the nation of Israel as the Scripture depicts them.

This event will also help you develop a deeper understanding of both current and future events in the Middle East as described in both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament.

The program will also include testimonies of both Jewish and Arab believers serving the Lord in Israel and concluding with a dynamic Saturday evening message by best-selling author Joel Rosenberg and music by Marty Goetz.”
