Journal Israel and the Church: The Suffering of the Jewish people

By Rev. Kees de Vreugd - 9 July 2025

The theme of this edition is The Suffering of the Jewish people. We explore the suffering of the Jewish people in the Bible and throughout history. Today, Israel and the Jewish people are again threatened in their existence. Many feel that the tides are turning. Yet, we believe that God will be faithful to His covenant. We continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the liberation of all the hostages.
