Romans: The Letter that Changed the World, Part VI (Chapters 15-16)
Of all the letters ever written, none has been read by more people or had a more profound effect on the world than a letter the apostle Paul wrote 2,000 years ago to a small, young church in Rome. In it Paul clearly challenged the thinking of everyone in the civilized world of his day. One of those challenges is the idea that God has a chosen people, the Jewish people. But if God chose one nation over all others, where does that leave the rest of us? Mart De Haan and Jimmy DeYoung take you to visit archaeological remains from the time and places where this letter was written and talk to experts on location to hear what they have to say on this subject and more.
The End of Days and the Mount of Olives
The Mount of Olives is one of the Bible’s most significant locations. It was here that Jesus taught His disciples to pray, where He was arrested and led off to judgment, and where His disciples watched Him ascend into heaven after His resurrection. And in the days to come—on a date unknown to us—this is where Jesus will return to judge the nations and establish peace. Visit this most important site: the Mount of Olives. Hear what those who live here have to say about the end of days and the role the Mount of Olives will play in God’s rescue—God’s peace plan for all people.
