Every person should know, what is the Church?   What is the Church? Many people think of Church as a building where Christians gather for worship on a Sunday. The Church ( ἐ κκλησία ekkl ē sia) is a unique entity revealed and ordained by God and came into existence at the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon the believers. The true meaning of "ekklēsia" is the "called out ones." Jesus started building His Church by calling out people to repentance and turn to Him. Jesus said, "... I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). Jesus is the One who is building the Church.    The Church, a group of people who are called out and set apart for the glory of God. God's view of the Church is seen as described by apostle Paul, "but you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into...

Do you want to know what will happen next in the Middle East?   Will there be peace in the Middle East? Who is going to win the Israel Palestinian conflict? When the tensions go high between Israel and Arab nations, people want to know what will happen next.    I want to explain what is going to happen in the Middle East.

The Holy Bible describes about the stars in the firmament extensively. "There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars;  for one star differs from another star in glory " ( 1 Corinthians 15:41). Each star is different, and each symbolizes something significant. Apostle John writes what he hears from Jesus in the Island of Patmos, "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,  and the bright and morning star " ( Revelation 22:16). Jesus is called the "bright and morning star" in the scriptures. He is called the "Root of David," and He is also called the "Son of David."    When Jesus was born, wise men from the East came, "saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen  His star  in the East and have come to worship Him" (Matthew 2:2). It is a specific star that they saw out of...
