America Opens Embassy in Jerusalem

Listen to the May 14, 2018, episode of the Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

The United States officially opened its embassy in Jerusalem today. Each U.S. president since Bill Clinton had promised to move America’s embassy to Jerusalem, but Donald Trump is the first to follow through on that promise. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Mr. Trump for “having the courage to keep your promises.” Israel is elated over the embassy move. America’s relationship with Israel is experiencing a resurgence after eight years of animosity from Barack Obama. On today’s program I discuss this resurgence in U.S.-Israeli relations and how Bible prophecy says it will play out. For the second half of today’s show, I play my father’s commencement address from last evening’s Herbert W. Armstrong College graduation ceremony.
