[LISTEN] This study was requested by and prepared for Gloria Pierce, founder and leader of our neighborhood ladies Bible study, and Rob Strom, both dear friends, as well as those who are seeking knowledge in Dispensational Theology and The Mystery. Much appreciated is the encouragement I’ve received from Sharon Marosi, someone who challenged me to continue working on this study long after our neighborhood ladies had finished reading the incomplete original rough draft.
