If you’ve ever looked at a map of the modern-day Middle East and wondered where the names came from, the history can be both fascinating and enlightening. Did you know that “Palestine” is actually just a different spelling of “Philistine”? And yet, there aren’t any actual descendants of the Philistines living there. Today, Pastor Mark takes you on a journey through the history of the Middle East. All of the countries and peoples you’ve read about in the Bible can be mapped onto current national boundaries. And there are messages for you in each people-group. Messages of family, and messages of mercy.
