Zechariah 8:2
Is there anything relevant about this nation and people today? It’s talked about a lot in the Bible, but why does it affect me now? Weren’t they just nice stories I heard when I was growing up in order to learn about being a good person? Or are the things that Scripture says about Israel literal?
