The Keys to Prophecy, Part 3

In this sermon Mr. Smith completes the second key to Bible prophecy, the promises to Abraham and his descendants. He covers the subject of the final captivity and restoration of Israel. Most churches teach that these prophecies have already been fulfilled. But Mr. Smith shows that this can not be the case by looking at conditions the Bible says will exist after the final restoration of Israel. Two of the clearest of these conditions, King David living again and ruling over Israel and Israel turning to God and receiving spiritual salvation clearly have not taken place. This proves that there is yet to come one final captivity and then restoration of Israel.
