Why Israel Still Matters. Part 1: Covenants and Prophecy

In this first episode, we take a look at some of the more prominent key Old Testament passages that support the idea of enduring significance for the nation of Israel in terms of God's overarching redemptive plan. They cover the everlasting unilateral and unconditional covenant of promised land to Abraham's descendants, and also prophecies that are fulfilled, partly fulfilled, and yet to be [fully] fulfilled.
