Imagine saying that we must support Israel "because they are God's people" back when Babylon was threatening to invade. That's how people act today: No matter how sinful Israel is, we are supposed to support them no matter what. This is not a comment on Israel's battles with Hamas or anyone else. It's just a general comment.

Is there anywhere that I can listen, or read transcript, of Understanding the Times from the beginning, in order? Yes, I'm one of THOSE people. I found back to 2014 maybe at One Place but either user error (I have to manually scroll back over and over) or the app itself, and it is time prohibitive and can't realistically download them. Thanks and bless you! Just read Trapped and it was so moving!
