An Interest in Israel
posted by on 10/15/09
Recently we were surprised to see the announcement for a church seminar on the customs of the Jewish people. Their calendar, language and of course their history have been of interest to us for a long time. The two hour seminar flew by and Jonathan and I were both feverishly taking notes. Israel is truly unique among nations.
Isn’t it interesting that its people are pretty much the only ones with the ability to trace their linage to the creation and they constitute the only nation to be “resurrected”? (We also heard for the first time from another attendee that Christopher Columbus could have been Jewish–and it happened to be Columbus Day that day.)
The peace of Jerusalem appears at times to be an impossible request to ask for and yet asking for this is something that we continue to be reminded is necessary. For updates on the current events of Israel (rather than sifting through the news or newspapers though it might be of use if you have time), I would like to recommend subscribing to the weekly email newsletters put out by Joel Rosenberg.
Take courage and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Pray also for the peace of those who seek it’s peace. The Lord reward you.
The history of the Jewish people is indeed fascinating. God promises to bless those who are “on their side”.
Thanks for the link. I’ve added it to my iGoogle home page and am looking forward to not feeling like I have to “sort through the newspapers” to get the information I want on Israel. Thank you!

Thanks for such an informative article.
Chick Publications has an interesting tract on Israel & America. Very revealing about certain anti-Israel policies our leaders made & major disasters that occured *immediately* following. It was very sobering.
How intriguing that Christopher Columbus may have been Jewish!
Interesting. Last night my family watched a documentary from the library called “Farewell Israel”, about the history of Islam and the Jewish state, and the strategy surrounding nations are pursuing to drive Israel into the sea. http://farewellisrael.com/
I had no idea Christopher Columbus was possibly Jewish! Wow. I absolutely love the Jewish people, the language, their history… Israel… I find it all so intriguing. I’m going to sign up for that newsletter and will look forward to learning more.
Your blog is a blessing! God bless you!
