“All the land in Canaan.” I don’t think that Israel is occupying all that land, but they should. Yes, land for peace was a terrible mistake. In a couple of weeks I will be walking on the land of Israel!

I’m truly excited to welcome you to Judea and walk this incredible land with you. There’s something special about experiencing the hills, history, and beauty of our homeland together. Looking forward to seeing you at the farm!

As a Christian, I read portions of the Bible pretty nearly every morning. Today, I was reading chapters 11-12 in Exodus. I don't know how they are delineated in the Hebrew Bible, but it's the chronicling of God leading the Israelites out of Egypt. It is such a powerful account, I was thinking as I read. God is so personal. Maybe if the enemies of modern day Israel would read (but they won't) the Hebrew Bible a light would go on in their brain: "oh, there really is something to this". But none are so blind as those who will not see. And if they read (but they won't) the Hebrew scriptures, they would learn it's not a good idea to harm the Jews. God says in essence "don't mess with my people the Jews or there will be severe consequences". Thank you for drawing the timeline through history and scripture of the birth of Israel.

Thank you for the quote ... yes, we are what I know as the state of being 'in the returning'.

We remember beyond all seeming divisions of time

and space, this is truth,

this is the realm of wonder;

our path,

a corridor forever lit.

If there is a “God” then why did the sky not darken or Auschwitz?
