You can have in name only Christians.. but Jewish people are blood related AND have the holocaust to guide them.
just.... WOW!
The Holocaust to guide them is a bit of a misnomer. That is one thing that has been a big part of my work here. Helping Holocaust victims overcome the bitterness towards God that they picked up in the camps.
Just think about it, the people you know that have had some tragedy in their life and got bitter towards God because “How could a good God let my dog die like that”?
Then think of whole familys that had lived their lives for God watching the execution and torture of everyone they love.
The Holocaust does not guide them, it blinds them. It is one of the most satisfactory things in my life to watch the life pour back into someone who went through the camps when they finally understand the answer to that question. I remember one little old lady hanging on my arm with her eyes shining like a little girls.
Lets see, last week one lady said to a friend, you know, ever since the camp, I have never slept through a single night. But now I know God does love me, tonight? Tonight I will sleep.
Or the times I had two different Israeli men with long black beards and tears running down their cheeks shaking my hand and saying to me “Thank you for introducing me to My GOD”.
It was Elohim by the way they were talking about, I am not here to be a missionary guys. But you have no idea how enriched my life has been these long, trying 8 years. And now, because of the Obama vote, I think I may have to leave. As the economy tanks and the dollar shrinks to nothing, the jig is becoming very up. I am not allowed to work here and my “retirement” is about retired...
I feel like crying... But I will be coming home, to what is left of it. I sure wish you guys had taken better care of it. I tell you, I really miss America, and Americans. It will be good to be home, but frankly, I am reallly going to miss the Jews, at least the ones that love God.
Like they say, you do not come to Israel to change her, but to be changed. I will never be the same.
I did a WOW as well when I saw the percentage. Really hard to believe they turned their back on Israel.
