From CNN-As I watched Donald Trump announce that the United States would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move our embassy to that city, I could only think of one thing: my high school youth group Bible study.
I know that sounds odd.
Especially coming from a liberal Episcopalian like me. But there you
have it. The President makes a world-important declaration about global
politics, and an absurdly apocalyptic thought arises, "Jerusalem? The
Last Days must be at hand!"
When
I was a teenager in the 1970s, I attended a "Bible church," a
nondenominational congregation that prided itself on a singular devotion
to scripture. We read the Bible all the time: in personal Bible study
and evening Bible classes. We listened to hourlong Sunday morning
sermons. For us, the Bible was not just a guide to piety. It also
revealed God's plan for history. Through it, we learned how God had
worked in the past and what God would do in the future.
