Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with the

parable of the Vineyard as we pick up in Isaiah chapter 4 verse 6 and now with today's

message here's pastor chop.

Going ahead again from the darkness of the impending judgment and the long period of time

in which the Gentiles shall rule to the day of the Lord when he shall once again rule and Israel and Jerusalem shall be blessed and the center of God's righteous reign upon the earth.

Now I'm going to sing to my well beloved a song of my beloved, touching his vineyard. My well beloved Beloved touching his vineyard
