Episode notes

Troy Russell lost his nine-year-old son Austin in a car accident last year. He was inconsolable and said it was more than he could bear. But into that agonizing breach came three redeeming forces. The Holy Ghost taught him, loved him and whispered that God knows everything about losing a beautiful and perfect son. His wife Deidra reminded him that she too had lost that son and was determined not to lose a husband. And people came to our rescue. My arkets were hungry and we were exhausted and people came to their rescue.

Dr. Avram Shannon continues to examine the Gathering of Israel, the building of Zion and preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
