It just made me curious when I saw this on my friend's post "Believe it or not someday Philippines is going to be the new Jerusalem". What do you think?
Hi Maesha,
There is no clear or direct prediction in the Bible about philippines becoming the new Jerusalem, therefore i dont believe that. what i believe is that Jesus gave the great commission to His disciple to "Go and baptize all nation" nation = in greek context is ethnic. means Jesus is saying that they should preach what they have witness to all the ethnic groups and i believe Filipinos are included.
I submit to you in asking this, what is more important to you my friend, the concept that Philippines will become the new Jerusalem or the concept that God wants the Filipinos to know Him and the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. That Filipinos will come to repentance that leads to salvation and spend eternity with God?
I encourage you to Focus on Jesus and strengthen your relationship to God (through prayers and meditation of His Word). I pray that may God guide you as you seek His truth.
Please feel free to give me a message on fb if you have more clarification.
