Israel's Independence

MAY 14--Yom Ha'atzmaut--is the day of recognition for Israel's independence as a sovereign state. (Israelis celebrate according to the Hebrew calendar). Out of the ashes of the Holocaust, Israel declared her freedom on May 14, 1948. This year marks 61 years of statehood.

"I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel." Ezekiel 37:21-22

Such a huge fulfillment of end-time prophecy has come to pass in our lifetimes! While we--Greer and Rodger--were only a few years old in 1948, we count it all joy that we should be alive during this great time of God's plan. In the mid-1980s God took hold of our hearts and set them on fire for the land of Israel and her people. Since then we have continued to seek ways to bless Israel and the Jews, through missionary trips, donations, business ventures, and personal relationships. We consider it a privilege.

A blessing for the state of Israel:

May the Lord God protect you from your enemies; may He shine the light of His countenance upon you; may Yeshua the Messiah be received by your people; may you continue to seek His face and follow His commands; may your lands be prosperous and plentiful; may your leaders and soldiers have great wisdom; and may you always bless and praise the name of the Lord.

Happy Independence Day!
