August 5, 2007: The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth – Michael Hidalgo

The prophets speak over and over about mourning. They predict that if Israel will not repent and turn back to God that God will send them into exile, that they will become captives. When this happens there will be mourning in the land of Israel. Jesus stands and says that those who mourn - for the sin of Israel that led them to captivity - will be comforted. Why? … because Jesus is here to proclaim freedom for the captives.
