Thank you, Sherry Vance, that was well worth the wait! Mathew 23:39: "Baruch h'aba b'Shem Adonai."
TO FIVE DOVES:
Indonesian/tsunami relief: Any monies donated to Gospel for Asia will be matched by Chuck Missler's Koinonia House in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. (Reminds me of the parable of the talents in Mathew 25.) We've been told to clear out by March 31...GFA can go when and where we cannot.
- We want to encourage our readers to support GFA and the work they are doing throughout Asia. For this reason, Koinonia House will MATCH YOUR DONATIONS to the Gospel for Asia tsunami relief fund up to $10,000. Call our offices at 1-800-546-8731 to donate over the phone or send a check to Koinonia House, P.O. Box D, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83816 (write your checks out to Koinonia House, but be sure to indicate that it is for tsunami relief). We will collect your donations, match them dollar-for-dollar, and give the proceeds to Gospel for Asia. Every penny of the money you donate will go directly to assist victims of the disaster, nothing will be taken out for administrative expenses.

MJ Martin contribution: Jack Kinsella article (Volune 40, issue 11) on Friday, 1-14-05:ANTI-SEMITISM, THE CHURCH, AND THE LAST DAYS. Found the following comment by Jack Kinsella interesting: "(Before you ask if this means that ALL Jews whoever lived will be automatically saved, I don't know.)" Could/should Ezekiel 37 be taken literally? (Am aware that many Bible scholars believe this refers to the physical restoration of Israel.) However, the prophet talks about bones that were "very many" and "very dry."
YSIC, Sandra Jean "Then He said to me.
Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel.
They indeed say, Our bones are dry,
Our hope is lost,
and we ourselves are cut off.
Therefore prophesy and say to them,
Thus says the Lord God,
Behold, O my people, I will open your graves
and cause you to come up from your graves,
and bring you into the land of Israel.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord,
when I have opened your graves, O my people,
and brought you up from your graves.
I will put My Spirit in you and you shall live,
and I will place you in your own land.
Then you shall know that I, the Lord,
have spoken it and performed it, says the Lord."
(Ezekiel 37: 11-14, NKJV)
