A video version of Lamentations.
Very well stated.
OHH you got that right
My heart is breaking for them. Prayers up - God help us all.
Wow., I'm crying. This is very sad.
I'm sure all of them will be set up with a much happier safer future....I hope
I wish I could share your optimism. When the land the Israelis are vacating now was previously held by Egypt, the Arab world had absolutely no intention of reverting the land to the Palestinians.
This "disengagement" is nothing but a spin on the "land for peace" proposition. And for it, Israel will wind up with neither land nor peace. Once terrorists sense lack of resolve, they know they can continue hammering until their prey is annihilated in spirit or flesh...or both.
I hear you. by now we should all realize what appeazment leads too.
It was very upsetting reviewing the hundreds of photos for this thread. G-d shall not abandon the Jewish State of Israel.
No one can hold the land that God intends for his chosen people, so there must be a reason this is happening. We must be patient and watch and wait.
I pray that is so. The last time the borders resembled what they are becoming now, Jordan and Egypt attempted to pinch Israel into two pieces and destroy the entire nation.
...and the Arab world has a long history of showing that they never learn from history.
It is sad that the evil benefit from the benevolence of the good.
I fear a terrible cascade of events is only beginning...and its consequences will be further-reaching than we can imagine today.
"As a believer, Mr. President, what do you say to Jewish believers who think that God sent them to settle in the biblical Israel and they will not obey any decision of elected government?"
President Bush: Well, you know, there are admonitions in the Bible that does talk about the role of government relative to man. And Israel is a democracy and democracies are able to express the will of the people. The Prime Minister is expressing what he thinks is in the best interests of Israel and the people will decide, ultimately, whether or not that decision makes sense.
God help us, indeed.

The Hope
As long as the Jewish spirit is yearning deep in the heart,
With eyes turned toward the East, looking toward Zion,
Then our hope - the two-thousand-year-old hope - will not be lost:
To be a free people in our land,
The land of Zion and Jerusalem.
Perhaps what is happening here is that Ariel Sharon is going to withdraw from Gaza only to sit back and watch the Palestinian government destroy the "peace process" by not reigning in their terrorists even though he has given everything including his political career to make peace with the Palestinians; he'll wait a few years for things to crumble due to Palestinian misleadership and patronage of terrorists and say that his government has done everything imaginable to appease the terrorists and Palestinians, worked with broken promises and dead-end negotiations from Palestine, and then finally go in with force to take back Gaza and West Bank forever.
G-d help US.
All other nations were created by an act of men, but Israel was created by an act of God! The Royal Land Grant that was given to Abraham and his seed through Isaac and Jacob with an everlasting and unconditional covenant. (Genesis 12:1-3, 13:14-18, 15:1-21, 17:4-8, 22:15-18, 26:1-5 and Psalm 89:28-37.)
I can only imagine. I am still tearing up.
G-d shall not abandon the Jewish State of Israel.
Yes, we know this don't we? It is just so hard to witness this now, even knowing the ultimate outcome.
May His blessings be upon you through this difficult time.
What you stated, along with the listed verses, is so correct.
No other nation, after being so totally decimated & her people forcefully dispersed throughout the world has returned to the very land after some 2000 years, as a new nation, making the desert bloom. This time of sorrow shall also pass.
