Roads, my friend, let me try to explain where I'm coming from.
From the day I was born again in July of '86 until this very moment as I'm typing this response I have a deep longing, a profound yearning to go to Israel, to visit the Promised Land, ...to walk through the ruins of the synagog at Capernaum where my Lord gave His first sermon, to visit the cliffs of Gadarenes, to climb to the top of Mount Herman where the Shekina Glory of God could no longer be contained and burst through His human body, to visit Jerusalem, walk through Hezekiah's tunnel, to stand in front of the walled up Eastern Gate, the Gate Beautiful where my Lord would enter into the city, to walk up the Mount of Olives and try to imagine where the Son of Man, who had no home, had laid His head, reclined His body in sleep..., but, alas, Father has placed me on the opposite side of the world from where I long to visit, probably because He knows that if I ever did make it there I would never leave, so I content myself with looking for that city that has foundations that are not made with human hands,
...now back to reality, our church is situated right next to the Synagog here, on Saturdays when we are cleaning I can go outside and listen to the men singing to Yahweh in Hebrew, I can hear them reading from their Torah and frankly it gives me goosebumps, tingles run up and down my spine, when I see a Jewish man outside I always greet him with Shalom, his eyes sparkle, a smile spreads across his face when he hears it, we talk for a minute and my mind races back through the tunnel of time, standing in front of me is a direct descendant of my adoptive Father Abraham, a grandson of Seth, yes, out of this great love I have for them I've tried reasoning with them from Daniel 9, but as Paul taught me, there is a veil over Israel today, I hold in my tears as I consider this blindness has come on them to allow a wretched Gentile like me to be grafted into their root stock, to know personally and have a relationship with the God they are singing to...
I hope you can see, dear friend, every ounce of my being, every cell in my body loves Israel and her people, there is no way I could ever say, do or think anything bad against them, no matter what they have done, condemn them in any way, because, that's how their God looks at/sees me. ...so, I hope you can see it is futile for us to continue this discussion, I respect your right to your beliefs and opinions, hopefully you understand me a little better.
Have a good day in the Lord,
Blessings,
Gene
