Prisoners Of Hope

S. O. A. P. Here’s Your 90 second AM Devotional! S-cripture:Zechariah 9:12 Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you.

Prisoners of Hope

And now Cyrus of Persia had issued an order for the Jewish exiles to commence their slow return to Jerusalem to rebuild first the walls ... and then the temple.
