The Bible is clear that the nation of Israel is in many ways a “mystery.” But with sound insights into Scripture and a solid grasp of Israel’s lengthy history, the ICEJ can help you unravel the often hidden plans and purposes behind God’s enduring calling over the Jewish people. From His covenant with Abraham to the Cross to the Age to Come, Israel is central to God’s redemptive plan for all peoples, and the ICEJ invites you to follow that important spiritual journey with us.
