HEROES AND VILLAINS IN THE CONTINUING THREAD FROM ANCIENT ISRAEL TO THE LONG-AWAITED MESSIAH This is a story of survival-of a dispersed, disgraced, and defeated people who miraculously held together, restored their nation, and turned disgrace to dignity. Through this story, we see God's amazing protection, provision, and life-changing restoration for His people, often done in the most unlikely and unusual ways. However, it is all really just a prelude, for God's greatest work is yet to come. The time is not yet, but it is getting closer, and more pieces need to be put in place. That is what this story is really about. Bob Fopma has been a television producer and director for over forty years. His most recent endeavors were as a producer on the Abraham Accords mini-series and a producer on the feature film Route 60: The Biblical Highway. His many trips to Israel have given him a unique perspective on the Holy Land as well as a thirst for understanding its history and significance.
