The Plight of Israel: An Historical, Biblical, Theological Study

1930's Antisemitism in Italy
Looking forward to our Wednesday PM series on "the Plight of Israel: An Historical, Biblical, Theological Study." This not only relates to our series on Revelation 20 and the Kingdom of God but to many contemporary events.

Here's a preview from this study:  In the 1930's fascist leaders in Italy began to target Jews for their religious beliefs. Censorship was also common. Today the LGBT and secular/liberal political machine is targeting anyone who doesn't embrace the sexual revolution and/or pledge allegiance to the rainbow flag (note recent firing of CrossFit executive and the businessmen who publicly apologized for eating at Chic-fil-a during Pride month). One of the tragic lessons in history is that when this began to take place in the 1930's and 40's is that the Roman Catholic leadership did not speak out clearly or boldly (think Reichskonkordat). Will evangelical pastors and leaders in America make this same mistake today? Will we fear man more than God? Will we modify our biblical convictions when our beliefs cost us something?

"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it."  Join us this Wed. at 6:30pm at Lake Country Bible Church.
