– ‘Pleroma’ - In his discourse on Israel in
Romans 9 to 11, the apostle Paul speaks of a great mystery: “For I do not
want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise
in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel
until the fullness [pleroma] of the Gentiles has come in; and thus all
Israel will be saved” (11:25).

Why Did
God Choose Israel? - Among ardent supporters

Wednesday's
article, "The
Gift From Ethiopia" by Chuck Missler
& Bob Cornuke, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
EXCERPT:
In
our previous article we explored some hints, in the Old Testament Scriptures,
that the fabled Ark of the Covenant may, indeed, presently reside in Ethiopia,
in accordance with a tradition that goes back over 2,600 years. Many of
us have been skeptical of the colorful legends surrounding Menelik, the
offspring of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, who is reputed to have removed
the Ark of the Covenant out of reach of Solomon's apostasy. (These
views are still retained by the current leadership in Ethiopia. They believe
they have a destiny to deliver their sacred relic to the Messiah when He
rules from Mt. Zion.)
