Declaring the End from the Beginning: God’s Prophetic Plan

You are invited to join us at Village Church in Dyer, IN for our fifth annual Bible Prophecy Conference on September 27-28. By studying about the God’s Prophetic Plan, we will uncover what the Bible teaches about how the Lord declares the End from the Beginning concerning the church, Israel, and the world at large.
