"Entebbe : When God was working overtime"


John and Doves,

This coming Wednesday on March 15th, TBN ( Trinity Broadcasting Network ) will be showing "Entebbe" -- the modern day Exodus of hostage-Jews from Uganda, Africa.

It will be aired at 5:30  p.m. Pacific Standard Time on the program series called
"Against All Odds".

This series deals with the unfathomable miracles that have occurred for Israel ever since she became a nation in 1948.

In July of 1976, a plane was hijacked over Europe and forced to land at Entebbe, Uganda.

The Jewish passengers were isolated in their own holding room, while the other passengers were allowed out of the country. What unfolds is a drama of breath taking proportions as God works overtime to deliver His people.

Benjamin Netanyahu's brother Jonathan led the rescue operation to Entebbe under a masterful plan. Jonathan was the only soldier taken to be with the Lord in the daring operation. Perhaps this underscores the fact that God is to receive the glory, and not man.
Jonathan and the operatives were part of God's plan.

It seems amazing to me that while all of America was celebrating her BiCentennial ( 200 years of freedom ) on July 4, 1976 that at the same time Jews were celebrating a second Exodus from Africa
of Biblical proportions.

Truly , our God is an Awesome God !

In Him,
Jim Goodrick
