The Alpha and Omega

The One and Only God


We live in troubled times. But God holds the world in the palm of His hand, and He isn’t dropping it. Nothing can give an individual more peace than wholly trusting in God, who is in absolute control of everything. This issue of Israel My Glory is devoted to a small yet important portion of the wonderful book of Isaiah that emphasizes God’s sovereignty.
IMG In Depth: Our radio host, Chris Katulka, interviews David Levy about his article, "The Future-Teller" in this issue.
