The Hour Has Come

Tracing the Messiah's Path to the Cross


This issue of Israel My Glory centers our attention on Jesus’ journey to the cross. Our writers teach the Jewish context of the Gospels to bring these accounts to life, illustrating how Jesus spent the week leading to His crucifixion, purposefully preparing to die for our sins (Isa. 53:5) and rise again to conquer death.

IMG In Depth: Check out an exclusive interview with Tom Simcox about his article, "The God-Man's Symphony."
