Zechariah 12:3 “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
Editor's Note: Jim Bakker teaches to watch Israel closely because it is the prophetic timeclock for the unfolding of Last Days events. In Matthew 24, Israel is the fig tree that the Lord told His people to observe to understand the times. It is like a barometer of what is happening in the nations.
Israel is preparing for the annual Passover amid heightened restrictions and concerns because of the crumbling peace process and questions about U.S. support for the nation.
Israel has sealed off the West Bank, barring any Palestinians from entering the West Bank as a protective measure against Muslim terrorist attacks during one of the Holiest weeks of the year. Israeli police are also restricting Jerusalem holy sites.
However, Israel is doing more than just preparing for their own citizens to celebrate the holiday. The country has been working to provide Passover wine, matzo and other items for the celebration for Jews trapped in countries around the world where their lives are at risk.
An Arab Israeli politician has been proving to Jewish communities in Muslim countries including the war-torn nation of Syria. Ayoub Kara refused to name the other nations where the supplies are being sent for security reasons.
The “festival of freedom” includes most of the nation shutting down in the evenings for celebrations with friends and family.
I truly believe that HE is coming very soon. Please pray with us that all of our children and grandchildren and great grands are awake and looking up for HIS coming. We love you and your family, friends, and guests. May our LORD Forever be with us now and until HIS arrival. Friends, brother and sister in CHRIST, Ralph & Lola
