Israel's Memorial Day and then Independence Day!
I
want to quickly remind everyone that the biggest miracle in 2000 years
will be remembered starting at sundown this Wednesday evening, and
continuing through the following evening until sundown on Thursday. On
the fifth
day of Iyar, in the year 5708 on the Hebrew calendar (or May 14th, 1948
on the Gregorian calendar) the nation of Israel was established. Since
then, the nation of Israel celebrates the prophetic miracle each year
according to the Hebrew calendar - which explains why it is not always
on May 14th.
Memorial
Day always precedes Independence Day in Israel, so beginning tonight at
sundown, the nation will remember those who fought and died to bring
about this great wonder of wonders. For Memorial Day, I would recommend
finding good articles about Israel's War of Independence and reading
them to your family. One site you can go to is www.historama.com.
If
you are a family or congregation that celebrates other feast days with
Israel, like Chanukkah or Purim, then you should be gathering to
celebrate on Wednesday evening or sometime Thursday to celebrate this
miracle as well. I believe the modern day establishment of the State of
Israel exceeds even the miracles of Chanukkah and Purim. The world has
never seen anything like this!
We
are planning a big celebration here in Franklin, Tennessee on Wednesday
evening. If you are in our area, please email us to get directions,
times, and what to bring. Again, if you can't come be with us in
Franklin, please consider hosting your own celebration. (If you need
ideas, one way Israel celebrates is by holding a National Bible Quiz!)
We would all love to be in Israel for this great event, but if we can't be there let's all remember and celebrate the miracle.
Blessings,
Tommy Waller
