Hi John and Doves,

I loved this article from JPost. The author ponders on why the Jewish people have suffered so much. The whole story of their calamities is beyond the pale! I really mean that. The Jewish people were chosen to be an example to the world. Israel is our time clock. When Israel mucks up, we can guarantee the results. It's difficult. They have been through so much.

I see the parallels with the Book of Job. Which really tells us...ours is not to question, WHY? But, we do know why. Scripture tells us WHY. Almighty God cannot deal with two peoples at the same time. Which is why the Jewish people have been blinded in part - for our sake. This "partial blindness" of the Jewish people is to enable us gentiles to be brought into the fold. Like it or not - this is solid truth.

I cannot wait for it all to be over.

Please come, LORD Jesus.
