The Grands Letter (Rev/GLJ)

Revelation 19:1-7, “After these things I heard, as it were, a loud voice of
a great multitude in heaven, saying, ‘Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and
power belong to our God;
2 because His judgments are true and righteous; for He has judged the great
harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and He has avenged
the blood of His bond-servants on her.’
3And a second time they said, “Hallelujah! Her smoke rises up forever and
ever.” 4And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down
and worshiped God who sits on the throne saying, ‘Amen. Hallelujah!’
5And a voice came from the throne, saying, ‘Give praise to our God, all you
His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great.’
6And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude and as the sound of
many waters and as the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying,
“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.
7″Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of
the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready.”
A mysterious experience occurred in Israel recently, when a descendent of
Aaron, the brother of Moses, ascended the Temple Mount in full Old Testament
dress and recited aloud Scripture from the Old Testament. Normally, there
would have been strenuous opposition from Moslems to such a bold Jewish
display on the Temple Mount, yet no opposition was voiced. Israelis view
that as a miracle within itself.
My family and I were in Australia when the 6-Day War occurred, and Israel
experienced a break-through to the Wall. Today, hundreds of Israelis gather
there without opposition. I was, at the time, acquainted with an Australian
who was Jewish. He greeted the victory with exuberant praise! I recall
reading that someone in Israel asked a Rabbi how they could tear down the
Moslem structure on the Temple Mount. His reply was: “Who knows? Maybe there
will be an earthquake!” That was the year 1967-57 years ago!
I have at numerous times argued with Jewish people about their place in
history, and their need to accept salvation from the LORD Jesus Christ.
Sometimes I even “feel” Jewish! Our incoming President has appointed Mike
Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas, as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel.
Mike Huckabee is an ordained Southern Baptist Minister! What an open-ended,
spiritual calling he has! I know he would appreciate our prayers.
Let me urge you to be encouraged! Keep your eyes on the happenings in
Israel. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psa. 122:6). With the LORD’s
blessing, we may live to see Him come and even be caught up to meet Him in
the air!
Heartily in Christ Jesus,
(Dado III)
