"In the first days of June 1967, Israel found itself surrounded on every side. The armies of Egypt, Jordan and Syria, had mobilized along the armistice lines, massing hundreds of thousands of ground troops in the Sinai, West Bank, and Golan Heights, supported by thousands of tanks and aircraft. Vastly outnumbered, the Israeli Army knew that a massive, multi-pronged invasion force would likely overwhelm the nascent Jewish State... Defense Minister Moshe Dayan advised that there was 'a limit to our ability to defeat the Arabs.'"

“What made 'their number' distinct enough from the rest of the people that they might be recognized as a social unit that could be joined? It wasn’t the venue. They assembled in the Temple. It wasn’t their unique spirit-filled worship services; the worship services were liturgical functions led by the Levitical class. The thing that set the earliest church apart from the rest of the Jewish people was their table.”

"If the coming of Jesus had subverted or altered God’s plan for Israel, Paul would not have been suffering or consumed by unceasing sorrow for his people. Paul’s heart burned for Israel’s salvation."

"If we lack Jerusalem, we are untethered from the “sure and steadfast anchor of our souls,” the hope of the resurrection and coming restoration. And in our unmooring, we are unprepared to bear faithful witness of the Gospel of the Kingdom to those perishing without knowledge. Worse yet, the danger of a different gospel is that we may well be perishing ourselves."
