Dr. James O. Davis Interview Video of Dr. Leonard Sweet About The Future

December 20, 2025
Dear Visionary Leader,

Merry Christmas!
We recently made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to further plan Jerusalem 2030 (Jerusalem2030.com). We thought deeply in 2015 and 2016, leading to Wittenberg 2017: The 500th Anniversary of Martin Luther nailing the 95 thesis on Castle Church door. It was at the graveside of Martin Luther, where more than 600 leaders collectively launched FINISH 2030: Completing The Great Commission by the 2000th Birthday of the Church. Our strategic Jerusalem 2030 Planning Team consisted of:
  • Gary Brothers, USA
  • Ejaz Nabie, USA
  • James O. Davis, USA
  • Brian Ashworth, Northern Ireland
  • Alex Mitala, Uganda
  • Randall Van Nelson, South Africa
  • Juan Castillo, USA
  • Tom Solhjem, USA
  • Mike Sherbino, Canada
  • Greg Lyons, USA
  • John Smith, Guyana
  • Doru Cirdei, Moldova
  • Florin Cimpean, IL
Jesus was born before King Herod died. Just read your Bible and you will figure this out. King Herod died between 3bc-4bc. Here are the facts: 1) Since Jesus was born before his death, then Jesus was born between 4bc-6bc. A zero year does not exist. In other words, Jesus was not born in “zero.” We know that Jesus lived 33 years. With this in mind, He died between 28ad-30ad. When we stepped onto this path ten years ago, we collaborated with leading New Testament scholars and leading archeologists in Israel.

As we continued on this promise path, 35 key leaders synergized their efforts together to host Jerusalem Council II: The Church of the Third Millennium. For nearly two years, we planned and prayed together. More than 400 leaders from 62 came together in Athens, Greece. We had wanted to host JC2 in Jerusalem but we moved it to Athens because of the war. We focused on addressing and answering the top 7 questions of our time as we prepare for the first day of the third millennium. These seven questions are:
  • What Is The Spirit Saying About The New Map For The New Millennium?
  • What Is The Spirt Saying About Scripture And The Unknown God?
  • What Is The Spirit Saying About Jesus & Our Humanity In A Secular World?
  • What Is The Spirit Saying About Grain And The Church?
  • What Is The Spirit Saying Through Christian Entrepreneurship In The Global Marketplace?
  • What Is The Spirit Saying To GenNow And The Call Of God?
  • What Is The Spirit Saying About Synergistic Leadership In The Church?
I encourage you to watch the The Third Millennium Church Interview of Dr. Leonard Church. I thoroughly enjoyed interviewing Dr. Sweet, as we discussed about the Third Millennium Church and how we can prepare for it.
We are now 4 1/2 years from Jerusalem 2030 scheduled for June 9y-11, 2030 (Sunday–Tuesday) at the International Convention Center of Jerusalem. We are inviting 3,000 Christian leaders in honor of Apostle Peter’s first Sermon of 3,000 coming to Christ. On June 9-10, we will focus on the Top 10 Leadership Lessons Learned from The Last 1,000 Years. On June 11, the first day of the Third Millennium Church, we will believe and pray for a mighty river of revival to bring life everywhere. We will pray for “fish to be caught where fish have never been caught before.” Speakers will be announced soon! Registration is already open at Jerusalem2030.com.

 

While we were in Jerusalem for 60 hours we met with: 1) Samuel Smadja, Founder/President, Sar El Tours, 2) Mayor Moshe Lion, 3) International Convention Center of Jerusalem Team, 4) Videotaping at the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem, Saint Jerome’s Study, Upper Room, Garden Tomb, Golgotha, the Old City, and 5) Dinner Fellowships.

Mayor Moshe Lion and his stellar team were very engaging with our Jerusalem 2030 Team. We discussed the dynamics and mechanics of the upcoming Jerusalem 2030. Additionally, we discussed the why were hosting Jerusalem 2030 and how this would be accomplished. Mayor Lion encouraged us to come to sooner!

We were fortunate to host executive planning meetings at the International Convention Center of Jerusalem. The ICCJ Team rolled out the red carpet out for us with a reception and an amazing luncheon. We shot additional video on stage and took a tour of the ICCJ. The ICCJ seats 3000 and is the most prestigious location in Jerusalem for Jerusalem 2030. I hope you will mark your calendars for June 9-11, 2030 and make plans to be with us. Be sure to check out Jerusalem2030.com.
