How To Interpret The Bible Correctly - Jerusalem, God, and History

Jerusalem is the trigger that will set off the grand finale for planet Earth.
Twenty-six hundred years ago God foretold that the fate of the entire planet earth would hinge upon one city.
The city God named was not in the fledgling Roman Empire of that day, nor in the great Empires of Greece, Babylon, or Egypt, nor in the great Empire of China or off in the New World…no, it was a city named Jerusalem.
Jerusalem at that moment 2,600 years ago, was a backwoods, off-the-beaten-track town that had just suffered complete destruction at the hands of the king of Babylon; and whose charred and blackened ruins were mute testimony to the impossibility of what God's Word was saying.
• Jerusalem would become the focus of the entire world.
• Jerusalem will be a cup that intoxicates the world, and for which the whole world will quake.
• In our generation, Jerusalem, mentioned over 800x in the Bible (and never once in the Koran) has become the cup that makes the world tremble.
The Fight for Jerusalem, and all the events leading up to that fight, is the spot in the news that you should keep your eyes riveted-if you want to know what God has planned for this world.
Why? Because this topic is one of the greatest reasons that I trust the Bible.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel has promised that He is the only True God; and that He alone can predict the future and have it come to pass exactly as He said it would. This realm of the Bible is called fulfilled prophecy
Tomorrow’s Headlines
For a moment let me read tomorrow’s headlines, listen as I read from the book that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel wrote called the Scriptures or the Holy Bible.
Zechariah 12:1-3 The burden of the word of the Lord against Israel. Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the earth's foundation, and forms the spirit of man within him: 2 “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.
