Willful Ignorance

[Biblewriter]

The whole world of the Middle East with its Jews and Muslims, has become shrouded in mystery – remote and out of mind.

There are also numerous of the early Church leaders, including some of the very earliest whose writings have survived to the present day, That rejected this "spiritualiation" of Old Testament prophecies.
