The Church at the End of the Gospel Age

Psalm 46 “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1, texts from ASV). — David Stein While Psalm 46 had an original application to God’s protection of Israel, it also appears to have a much larger prophetic and symbolic application to the church’s experiences at the end of the Gospel Age.
