My show today was all about Israel. I decided to cancel the broadcast. I like to be in the right frame of mine when doing the podcast...today, I was not. My mother's, sister's family has gone through a very, very difficult time. The cousins from this family are like brothers and sisters me. The medical issues in this family, on-going, have been weighing on me for much of the week. One cousin just had brain surgery this week while his sister is battle cancer. This is the same family that lost two kids along with their mother last year https://www.fox10tv.com/2023/08/03/woman-2-children-found-dead-apparent-drowning-nas-pensacola-beach/ Nevertheless, (and in addition) I follow several Israeli media sources and hear from a few friends who live in Israel....... The events happening in the land of Israel would not be happening if there was no Israel. If Israel had never been "Born Again" the words below would make the biblical story a literary work and not an historical account of events to come, that our eyes witnessing today. Isaiah 11:11-12 Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea. And He will lift up a standard for the nations And assemble the banished ones of Israel, And will gather the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth. Jeremiah 31:31-34 “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the Lord. “But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people Zephaniah 3:19-20 “Behold, I am going to deal at that time With all your oppressors, I will save the lame And gather the outcast, And I will turn their shame into praise and renown In all the earth. “At that time I will bring you in, Even at the time when I gather you together; Indeed, I will give you renown and praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I restore your fortunes before your eyes,” Says the Lord. Zechariah 13:8-9 “It will come about in all the land,” Declares the Lord, “That two parts in it will be cut off and perish; But the third will be left in it. “And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are My people,’ And they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I believe in the testimony of the Bible more than anything else in life. As I witness these events unfolding I feel compelled to do the one thing that I can do. I wish to highlight people who are doing things that make a difference while these things are happening. The Bible to me is about serving others. I think people are quite literally the most spectacular thing created. I feel like what is coming is going to destroy lives all over the globe. If Israel was not "born again" in ONE day I would most likely not be this animated about world events. The Bible is just....TRUE! See less
