But some of those promises were fulfilled before and after His ministry on the Earth-and some of them are being fulfilled even today.Īs important as Joppa is to the narrative of Jonah and the building of the temple in the Old Testament, and as important as it is to the spread of the Gospel in the New Testament, we linger in Tel Aviv for another reason altogether. We call our Pilgrimage the “Footsteps of Jesus Tour” because we focus on where Jesus walked and ministered-and where He fulfilled His prophetic promises. ![]() And to save you.įrom start to finish, our tour is unapologetically evangelistic-even as we focus on God’s prophetic Word. And as He was raised up on the cross, as He was raised up from the grave, and as He has been raised up to the heights of Heaven to the right side of God the Father, we too are promised that we will be raised up. To even the lowliest of us so that we can be lifted up. And so, again, this theme of coming down, our Great God and Savior came down. The Lord didn’t come for the elevated and the proud, He came for the humble and the lowly. It was on the roof of a building not unlike some of these, in the home of the very lowest man in Joppa, that the Lord said to Peter, “Now, I’ve got another job for you.” And he sent him to the north to actually reach further down in the spiritual pecking order according to Jewish understanding to a Gentile, and to do what with Cornelius?

Our next trip is in May of this year.įor those of you who have never been to Israel-and those of you thinking about coming with us on a Pilgrimage-we thought we’d give you an appreciation of what awaits those who join us on this spiritual adventure. We didn’t get to go in 2020 or 2021, but in 2022 we did return to the Promised Land. Once or twice a year, I get to lead a group of Pilgrims to Israel. It has been a tremendous privilege to share that glorious message-offering hope to the redeemed and a warning to the lost.īut the other role David originally called me to has been a repeated blessing as well. We point to the signs of the times prophesied throughout Scripture that are multiplying before our eyes right now as evidence that Jesus is at the gates of Heaven-waiting for His Father to tell Him to “Go, and get Your Bride.” When that happens, Jesus will descend from Heaven with a shout to gather the Church-all of those who are His.
