From ancient covenants and Canaanite history to modern Zionism, this article traces why Jerusalem and the land of Israel are so fiercely contested. It explains the Jewish people’s biblical and historical claim to the land, rising antisemitism, and how Scripture shifts our focus from earthly Jerusalem to the New Jerusalem in Christ.
This in-depth Bible study traces Jerusalem’s journey from “cup of trembling” on earth to the radiant New Jerusalem of Revelation—Mount Zion, the Bride of Christ, and capital of God’s eternal government. Explore its prophetic roots, structure, glory, and what it means to be a citizen of this heavenly city.
Joy to the World wasn’t originally a Christmas carol about Jesus’ birth, but a celebration of His second coming, drawn from Psalm 98 and Revelation. This study unpacks the hymn’s lyrics, “the Lord is come,” creation’s joy, coming judgment, and the hope that our redemption is drawing near.
