>> Dear Family in Christ JESUS,
>>We love you and appreciate you and your love and friendship. I just
>>got this in our mail and wanted to forward it to you and see how
>>you feel about it? It is very eye opening to hear this lady's
>>acount of her trip to Egypt and Israel and what she
>>observed!!!!!!!! WOW! ( esp. Re: what the people of Israel and
>>Egypt think of the presidential candidates of America!) I do know
>>from Duanes perspective that Israel's pilots are the best in the
>>world and then next the U.S.; and that has been common knowledge
>>always) They have had lots of practice for so many years and our
>>God has given them the best knowledge in so many areas! After all
>>"It IS written". AMEN! Thought that you might find this
>>thought provoking to read?
>>
>>
>>
>>Do we really appreciate the light Christ gives us?
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>I received this email from a friend who had it forwarded to her
>>from whoever made this trip. It is worth reading to the
>>end. Please take careful consideration to what she has to
>>say. Everyone needs to realize what is happening with this
>>presidential election.
>>
>> Dear Friends,
>> We are home. I am home with this flu that is going
>> around. I had it before we left and got it again in Egypt I
>> have really been sick. Sure is a waste of time.
>>
>> Our trip was physically very hard. I lost 10
>> pounds and got sick. I am glad I went, but would not go back to
>> Egypt . It is a dirty, ungodly country. The smog in Cairo Egypt
>> was terrible. There are 17 million people in that city and they
>> just throw their trash in the streets. The Nile River is
>> polluted. I don't know how such a people who built the pyramids
>> regressed like they have. If the Arabs take over America , we
>> will be a slum. And the noise pollution was terrible. They chant
>> their Muslim prayers all day. Our tour guide was a Christian, and
>> he was a fine young man, but the ungodliness of the population is
>> everywhere. It was a real example of the difference of "light"
>> vs. "darkness." Jesus is truly the Light!
>>
>> Israel was clean and wonderful. We could eat the
>> food and drink the water. They were kind and loved us. They may
>> not believe in Jesus but you can tell that God is in that
>> land. It snowed in Jerusalem while we were there and it was cold,
>> but we still toured. The Sea of Galilee was stormy and we went
>> out on a boat a short distance, but came back to shore. The Bible is
>>absolutely true about the fact that you cannot be out on the Sea of
>>Galilee in a boat without the danger of dying. We were amazed at
>>the big waves and wind on that Sea or lake.
>>
>> The weather cleared in Israel at the end of the
>> week and we went to the Temple Mount on a beautiful morning. It
>> was a time with the Lord. We stood at the Golden Gate where Jesus
>> will return. It is sealed because the Muslims are concerned He
>> will return! They even have one of their graveyards outside the
>> gate thinking no King will come through a graveyard. But Jesus is
>> coming! It shows the Muslim are concerned and may believe there is
>> a possibility He will come. I stood and looked at that Gate, and
>> was very moved to think I was standing at the very place where
>> Jesus will enter Jerusalem again!
>>
>> We did go into Bethlehem. We had to let our Jewish
>> guide out of the bus, and our Arab bus driver drove us through the
>> security gate. That high wall that you have been hearing about on
>> TV is there, dividing Palestine and Israel We then got a
>> Christian guide when we got into Bethlehem .. I was there twice
>> before, once in l980 and again in l999 and there is a stark
>> difference in Bethlehem since the Arabs have taken it over. There
>> were hardly any tourists. We
>>ate in a cafe on the square where I ate before which was packed
>>with tourists, but today it was vacant except for us. They have
>>killed their tourist trade. The Christians in Bethlehem asked us to
>>pray for them, because they had no income now. The Arab men on the
>>manger square glared at us. We did not feel safe and clung
>>together. There were beggar boys everywhere. They hate Americans
>>and Israel !!!!
>>
>> There is so much I could say about this trip. It
>> has changed my life in some ways. I look at the lost-ness of the
>> Arabs and the darkness. I look at Israel ; that tiny country
>> amidst such turmoil. If America does not continue to support,
>> Israel I believe God will judge us severely as Americans. The
>> Israelite soldiers were such fine young men and women. They are
>> clean and disciplined and have great love for their land which is
>> something that is missing in America among some of our youth. I
>> rode back to Lubbock from Dallas on airline with an American Air
>> Force career soldier. He said the Israelite pilots were the best
>> in the world. They can fly planes like no one else!
>>
>> Lastly, we were asked everywhere about the
>> Presidential race in America . There was great interest. The
>> Jews came up to us and asked us many questions. They said they do
>> not want the Clintons again. They warned us that Obama is a
>> Muslim, not a Christian. In Egypt , the Arabs said the same thing
>> to us; they said Obama is Muslim and they are amazed that
>> Americans would consider electing a Muslim President of America !!
>>
>> I came home loving America even more! Our country
>> is a "light on a hill." Our streets are clean. There are no
>> chants all day. People are kind and take their turn. People over
>> there pushed into line and were rude. They have never heard of
>> the Golden Rule. They will stomp all over you if they want to get
>> in line. I can see now why Jesus' words of loving your
>> neighbor and doing unto others, what you would have them do unto
>> you, were strange words to the lost. The Koreans were the worst
>> about walking all over us or trying to.
>>
>> We take our Christian heritage for granted here in
>> my opinion. We have sanctity of human life. In Egypt, the Arabs
>> don't have any hope so I can see why they would bomb people and
>> commit suicide. They smoked cigarettes everywhere! I could not
>> breathe in Egypt and I think that is why I came down with the flu
>> again. The smog was so bad at the pyramids, I could tell I was
>> getting sick. I would gag on the fumes.
>>
>> We need to pray for America and this election every day.
