Hi from Israel

Xakep_INC · 07-15-2006, 09:44 AM

Hi guys!
Just wanted to hear your opinion on the war over here (IDF vs. Hizbollah). I'm not sure how updated are you on both sides of the bombings.
Today we got a congregation service stopped after they bombed Tiberias (I live in Katzrin, Golan Heights but go to a church in Tiberias), and a youth camp cancelled too.
Life pretty much becomes harder. Because it is harder to visit friends (All of my good friends are out of town, and live either in Tiberias or Poriya - a little town near Tiberias).
Also, there's always the danger of being bombed.

Our town wasn't bombed so far (Although we are much closer to them than Tiberias is), but we watched how they bombed some city to the north for the whole night, looked like a swarm of fireflies falling in the horizon.). They didn't have it in the news yet.

I also wanted to go to Safed yesterday, but parents didn't want it. It is bombed pretty badly.

Good to hear from you. We will pray for you, as well as everyone else caught in the middle of this.

It would be interesting to hear your views in this thread in Current Events.

God Bless you Danny!!!

I listened to your song "Times Will" and enjoyed it. Thanks.

I now have a face to pray for in Israel. I'm sorry you all have to deal with the violence but since it's there, may the God of Peace watch over you and preserve you, but above all, may His will be done.

bobthecockroach · 07-20-2006, 10:55 AM

... Israel is a free country, by the way.

J_freek · 07-20-2006, 10:57 AM

doesn't sound like it

smhatahy · 07-22-2006, 01:29 AM

what part of it doesn't sound free?

**Rainer.** · 07-22-2006, 01:52 AM

Maybe it's the rockets.

Anyway, Israel is indeed a free country.

Hey, it's good to hear from you, Danny.

You obviously don't read or watch the news much because even a cursory glance shows Israel is a free country, albeit a semi-violent one when it comes to the whole bombs blowing up in the city thing.

J_freek · 07-22-2006, 08:22 AM

okay, i'm very sorry for the remark. i wasn't thinking very hard, i suppose

PROPHETSONG · 07-22-2006, 08:44 AM

I thank God for Isreal. This nation is probably the greatest testimony to God's faithfulness on this planet. After 2000 years God fulfilled his promise and brought his chosen people Isreal back to their inheritance God is good, and his faithfulness endures forever,praise his name.
I know that things are very scarey at the moment, but be of good courage great and aweswome is the defender of Isreal the Lord almighty is his name. He will defend your land as he has in the ancient times by the power of his right hand, declaring his majesty, making it known that their is a living God in Isreal.
There is an awesome future ahead for the Holy land ,and his chosen people from the ancient times. All that is happening is just heralding the pending arrival of Messiah, who is soon to return to take his rightful place on the throne of David king over the house of Isreal.
The Lord will reign over all the Earth from Jerusalem,and he will rule through his Holy People Isreal. Nothing on Earth can stop this from being forefilled.
Be of good courage, and strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

I totally agree with PROPHETSONG. We can tell Israel the physical nation is still God's focus, a wonderful testament to His promise, because they're all Christians there! Yep, all of them have received the power of Christ and are participating in God's vision of building and extending the Church!

HOORAY FOR THE NATION OF ISRAEL, WHO ARE ALL CHRISTIANS AND PARTICIPATING IN GOD'S PROMISE!!!
