It was the year the Beatles came out with 'Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, & Mohammed Ali was stripped of his title. The Vietnam War was in full swing and the public was turned against it. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway starred in 'Bonnie and Clyde.' A play began off Broadway called 'Hair' heralding the Age of Aquarius. The year was 1967. It was into that world of flower power, antiwar protests, and riots that a prophecy spoken thousands of years before was fulfilled. The Jewish people, in the Six Day War, returned to the city of Jerusalem!
It was the missing puzzle piece of every latter day prophecy which required the Jewish people to be in that city. Jerusalem was the City of Prophecy and the Jewish people the people of prophecy. What does this show you? God is real and His Word is good. If God could work out every event in 1967 to fulfill His prophecy, how much more is He working out all the things of your life for good. Rejoice! For the Lord says, "I know the plans I have for you...plans for shalom and not for calamity, to give you a future and a hope."
TODAY'S MISSION
Write down Jeremiah 29:11. Carry it with you today, and each time things seem difficult, or you are faced with a challenge, take it out and read it. Thank the Lord for working out the details of your life.
During the Second World War, the Ten Boom home became a refuge, a hiding place, for fugitives and those hunted by the Nazis. By protecting these people, Casper and his daughters, Corrie and Betsie, risked their lives. This non-violent resistance against the Nazi-oppressors was the Ten Boom's way of living out their Christian faith. This faith led them to hide Jews, students who refused to cooperate with the Nazis, and members of the Dutch "underground" resistance movement.
What ever happened to Corrie Ten Boom?
Corrie ten Boom received many tributes following her imprisonment by the Nazis after she and her family were charged for protecting nearly 800 Jews. Following the war, the Queen of Holland honored Corrie as a War Hero. In 1968, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem asked Corrie to plant a tree in the Garden of Righteousness, in honor of the many Jewish lives her family saved. Her tree stands there today. In the early 1970s, Corries book, THE HIDING PLACE became a best seller, and Billy Graham and World Wide Pictures released it as a the major motion picture. Corrie ten Boom went on to write many other inspiring books. There are five evangelical videos about her life. She was a woman faithful to God, who died on her 91st birthday, April 15, 1983.
Corrie ten Boom and her family fought Nazi insanity with the love of Jesus Christ.
Remember to pray for the land and people of Israel.
Bump for remembrance to all those who protected the children of Israel and who protect them today. Everyone else is toast!
