This is kind of a "duh" statement. Christians visiting Israel are probably into eschatology and so they know what happens in the end.

"Christians visiting Israel are probably into eschatology and so they know what happens in the end."

Islamist death cultists look to that end.

The Judeo-Christian act must be to sanctify life, and life's holiness, the experience incorporated to that end.

It's but for God, His own schedule to keep.

Just finished dinner with a fist full of them. Our house becomes a nightly dinner party during the feasts. Tonights menu was White Chilli and fresh cornbread, for dessert, aprocot cobbler topped with fresh whipped cream.

The feast of tabernacles is a very significant prophetic event in Christianity.

BTW, Hizbulla announced two months ago the greatist enemy of Islam is evangelical Christians as they support the Jews return to the land. Security is at an all time high.

Congratulations to you and all evangelicals for this high honor.

"Security is at an all time high."

Buddy, you're at ground zero in global history. Stay shrewd out on those streets (ask rdb3, he knows the deal  ! ).

The security fence is a billion dollar joke. Not only is it a retreat in defeat in the face of terrorism, it will not stop terrorists one bit. Once the fence is completed, they will just cut their way through instead of walking or driving through the gaps.

A 1000 pound bomb stops terrorists, a fence stops Jews from entering the Jew free Arab areas, but will not stop a criminal from entering Jewish cities. As Jews do not go into Arab areas now, why build a fence.

The war is a political pressure move to get the Jewish people conditioned to surrender in the face of an underwhelming enemy. Better that they should declare war and win, than declare peace and be slaughtered everywhere they go.

One IDF guy is worth 20 terrorists, and there are about 40,000 terrorists in the PLO. There are about 250,000 IDF. This has got to be the greatist rout in history do the the incredible efforts of the world governments.

If Israel ever wakes up, the political structure of the entire Middle East will change overnight.
