Chronicles 2001 — 2026

This just made my day. One of the Israeli ministries just emailed me about getting a picture I had used at some point, of the globe flattened out with Israel at the center of the world. He told me that I had gotten the picture from Eddie Santoro, who passed into glory in 2019. I must have hundreds of emails from Eddie and Jackie Santoro since I got the first one in 2004. AMAZINGLY I found the email that shared the picture Howard Bass wanted in a 2014 Santoro email.
I have history with these people. . .sort of like their "Chronicler" of the 2000's.

By the way, the article I wrote in 2014, The Centrality of Israel, is online. Here is what I wrote:

When Eddie & Jackie Santoro of Ahavat Yeshua congregation in Jerusalem were here in the Dallas area a few weeks ago, we were talking after the service about the centrality of Israel in the plan of God - especially here as His plan is culminating. There may be an earthly argument over who possesses the Temple Mount where the Dome of the Rock stands, but in Heaven the issue of ownership has long been settled, Mount Zion belongs to God.

God put His name on that mountain, and it is that mountain where His Son's Throne will be set up to rule the kingdoms of the earth in the Millennium. Why do you think it is inscribed on the Dome of the Rock, "There is no god but Allah" and "he has not begotten a son".

Islam lays claim to that mountain as a direct challenge to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and also to Israel's Messiah Yeshua. This is the real reason for the rage of Islam against the existence of the nation state of Israel - their existence is proof that Allah and the demonized prophet Mohammad are usurpers, laying false claim to the Throne of Righteousness which is destined by God to be situated in a precise geographical location - Mount Zion.

I'm taking the long way there, but Jackie and Eddie remembered during our conversation a picture they were given many years ago by a pastor in a European country. This picture above is that. It shows all of the continents of the world contained within a globe-like circle and here is the kicker: there was only one way that all the land masses would fit inside the circle at once and that was only if Jerusalem was placed dead center in the circle. If Jerusalem was not situated in the exact center of the circle, not all of the nations could be fully contained and visible in the circle.  Pretty amazing, no?

Tell me Jerusalem is not central to God's plan. I'm just going to shake my head and pray that God shows you what He is up to soon.

* Because I don't own the picture, I cannot post it here, but I have posted it on my Facebook page if you are interested.
