I just returned from leading the Red Letter Study Tour in Israel, and I MUST share this VIDEO with our community. I know that many of you dislike news organizations, but in this case CNN has done such a good job that even Catholics are protesting this series. After you invest 35 minutes to watch the video, you will be primed to grasp the entire 10 episode Time Will Tell series with new foundation of historical information.

David Ben-Gurion was the first prime minister of Israel, and he loved books. So much so that when his house was built in Tel Aviv, he made sure that there was room for his personal library.

Foreshadowing what the BFA International team is presently creating in our Scripture Bytes Interface laboratory, take a look at this amazing Hebrew Bible technology video. I am convinced that if Daniel saw this it would raise even his eyebrows.
