"Israel Is Still God's Chosen People" — Tom Hughes, Hope for Our Times

Tom Hughes, speaking for his ministry "Hope for Our Times," takes on one of the most common accusations he encounters: that Israel is no longer God's chosen people. He counters it with Scripture, including the 170 verses compiled in his booklet "The Promised Land," and current examples of anti-Israel bias in politics, media, and social commentary. He highlights striking archaeological finds, including a priest's bell dated to the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, as evidence that God is not finished with Israel, and closes the message with the song "Daughters of Zion" by Aaron Shust, a reflection on God's covenant promise to gather and restore His people.
