Real Life and Death: the interplay of Bible, Israel, America

I would not call it "peacemaking" in the political sense, nor even consider it making peace in any other recognizable sense that one hears about nowadays. I would call it "sneaking in peace", or "peace as a by-product" of the presence of the Prince of Peace. What I recount here is exactly what happened. I do not add or subtract.

These are the days of "Arab spring" turned "Islamic winter". Those days used no such terms, but there was much danger in the Israel Egypt doings despite a recent peace treaty. The term for those days was "the Cold Peace". In those days of such Middle East maelstrom fraught with both hope and violence, an incident occurred to me. We were the very first to have been invited since the peace between Israel and Eqypt about 15 years previous.

Today, I have been listening to a Hebrew song by Naomi Shemer which goes, "Anashim tovim b'emtza' hadrekh, she efshar itam litz'od" ("Good people along the way, that with them it is possible to march"). Then I thought of a verse, "Let us now praise famous men", which had to do with people of the Bible, and then I immediately thought of Father Harry J. Sutcliffe, and an event I had never spoken of. And so, I speak of it now.

History Channel Documentary on KAL 007: a critical review

The aircraft that flew Korean Airlines Flight 007 - HL7442 - on the ground in Hong Kong possibly just days before its final flight as KAL 007 on September 1, 1983.

On December 22 and 23, 2005, the History Channel aired a documentary for the first time entitled - Secrets of the Black Box: Flight 007. The media in general and this documentary in particular, have had an enormous effect on the perception of the public.

This is how blessings often run around in this world, But you have to be aware, have to notice, not be ungrateful, so as to be able to give thanks to Whom so much love and goodness has come to us.

An Israeli soldier fell in combat. As happens in this case, A casualty officer visits the stricken family to bring the news and bring the comfort. We are familiar with this in the U. S.

Orde Charles Wingate

Both my sons, Daniel and Jonathan, were mustered to their duty in the Israel Defense Forces to the grueling "weeding out" process undergone through the sand dunes and obstacles of the Wingate Institute, at the Mediterranean coast of central Israel. Who is this Orde Wingate, that the IDF uses an Institute named after him, whom Israel names the "Friend" - HaYedid? A Jewish philanthopist, a great Zionist? Not exactly. Jewish, no, a philanthropist, no, a Zionist, yes.

They were on their way to a common destination but not all knew each other. Yet, their crossing each other's path was no accident. But who could tell it beforehand? North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms, together with two colleagues, Senator Steven Symms of Idaho and Representative Carroll J. Hubbard Jr. of Kentucky, were aboard Korean Airlines Flight 015, on their way to Seoul Korea to attend a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the United States–South Korea Mutual Defense Treaty.

"The Throne of David". "The House of David". Sonorous, Commanding! Prophetic from ancient of days. Herald to the Messiah, Inheritor of the Throne, the King Messiah, Son of David. But was it real? Or perhaps, made up by zealous and fictionalizing Christians to support their beliefs. As their Gospel favorite, Luke would write - Joseph went with Mary and the Child to Bethlehem, David's City, to be registered "because he was of the 'House and Lineage of David'".

What is needed is further serious investigation and Federal Government involvement and commitment.
