The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein. For he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in the place of his holiness? He that has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not taken my name in vain, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his saving health. This is the generation of those that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. (Psalm 24:1-6)
In his most recent book, The Generation of Christ, Russell Stendal takes the reader through a complete study of the gospel of Matthew, examining the importance and prophetic significance of the generation of Christ in this last hour we live in, as we enter into the Day of the Lord.
The author, Russell M. Stendal, is the editor and translator of the Jubilee Bible (JUB) and Biblia del Jubileo (JBS) translations that are published in English and in Spanish. Well over a million copies of the Biblia del Jubileo have been donated and distributed into the most impoverished areas of Colombia and Venezuela.
Russell Stendal was born in Minneapolis and raised on the mission field in Colombia, South America. He became a missionary jungle pilot at age nineteen. Almost ten years later he was kidnapped in 1983 by Marxist rebels and held hostage for five months. Russell has written many other books, produced videos, and produced the two aforementioned Bible translations.
Russell heads up the work of Colombia Para Cristo, which operates 12 radio stations involving over 100 staff and co-workers and covering much of Latin America with the Gospel. A thriving, underground church has developed in remote jungle areas of Colombia. New, high-gain antennas are now beaming the Gospel message deep into areas of deepening crisis across the borders of Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil as well as throughout Colombia.
