Israel

On Mount Scopus, I met a small group of Israeli soldiers. So i took the opportunity to ask this handsome dude to pose with me.

Judean Wildnerness

Hey, I'm blogging from the Metropolitan Hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel. Since last Tuesday, I've been to Haifa, Tiberias and Jerusalem. A lot about the history of Israel, Jews and Judaism has been bombarded into my head and I'm nearly exploding! In a strange sort of way which I never expected, much of my Christian faith has been renewed. End-time bible studies conducted by Ps Peter Lui in the past has surfaced in my mind and brought much of my head knowledge to reality as I stand on top of Mount Scopus, Jerusalem.

At the Western Wall, aka the Wailing Wall, I nearly cried as I saw many ultra-orthodox Jews cry out loudly for the return and establishment of God's kingdom at Temple Mount, where a beautiful mosque stands now. I wrote a note to stick in the Western wall, which btw has many cracks stuffed with notes and letters. I prayed for the peace of Jerusalem and the quick return of Jesus, whom I recognize is the Messiah. A Jerusalem described in the Bible, the NEW Jerusalem, will be a city of light and righteousness. Light, not from the sun, but from God Himself. Ok, all this sounds hokey pokey, but hey, what a story. And what awesomeness should it come true!

I've many stories to tell you about Masada, the sea of Galilee, the Yad Vashem (Holocaust Museum), the diaspora, Jerusalem, the violence that has plagued Israel and the Jews since like forever. Well, these stories will only be palely retold by me, so come to Israel and see for yourself!
