4 Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.

Yes. It has been a long journey but we thank God for being on our side. This course has been challenging in the way that we have many preachers but fewer teachers who can help people to understand the word from the ancient world.
