NOTES FROM GUIDING AT THE GARDEN TOMB - PART 4

  • Air raid siren in Jerusalem went off for the second time in four days. Fell short again ( many miles short ). They have to remember Jerusalem is on a hill.  Last Friday was the first time in 42 years they have tried. I put all my people in the tomb for ten minutes.  As a precaution, other groups were scattered through the Garden in  underground areas.
  • All the guys went for burger night last night while the women watched a movie and ate pizza.  When they said we were gong out for red meat, they meant it. I said well done but it was more red than not red.  I was afraid it wasn't dead yet and was going to move off the plate.
  • Hamas (the terrorists in Gaza) have continued to reign rockets on Israel for years.  Interesting that when Israel has had enough and strikes back, all of a sudden there is international opinion.  If this was rockets launching from Tijuana into Los Angeles how long do you think America would put up with it?  Interesting to note several dozen rockets have not launched properly and landed on their own people.
  • Also worth mentioning is the fact that Hamas put their rocket launchers in hospitals, schools, courtyards of hotels in Gaza, daring the IDF to take them out and also take out innocent civilians at the same time.
  • David Mainse of 100 Huntley Street was at the Garden Tomb with a tour of Canadians today.  Had a chance to talk to him.  Unfortunately he is battling cancer, so his son and daughter in law have joined him on the tour to help out. 
  • Joel Rosenberg, well known prophecy speaker was at King of Kings church Sunday night.  He had a good message on the current events in this country.  His background includes working for Netanyahu years ago. Last week his group was trying to reach out to both Israeli and Arab pastors.
  • Small world - years ago several from our church visited Ireland.  Yesterday, the pastor of one of those churches visited the Garden and I was able to guide him for a few minutes. 
  • Hillary Clinton is in Israel attempting to work on a cease fire. She will be back when she runs for president in a few years.  When an American looks at running, they always come to Israel to show they are pro Israel to those rich Jewish Americans back home, whose financial support they will need.
  • We are safe here.  If things change we will let you know.  Love from Jerusalem.
